Have you seen Tezzeret?

The only format I know of with a restricted list is Vintage. Legacy only has a banned list: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=judge/resources/sfrlegacy What with all the black spells, we're going to want some way to power those out. I'll sprinkle some mana acceleration on...

Well, it's official. The most powerful card ever printed is back to its original functionality. It strikes me as not entirely useless on its own. You can drop it early, skip a turn, then take an extra turn when turns are more valuable. It won't usually work out that way, though. Depends on the...

But the presence of an observer after the fact is irrelevant. Saying "from an evolutionary standpoint, the goal of ____ is ____" is attributing the "goal" to evolution. For example, one might say, "the goal of turning toward the sun is maximization of the number of photons bombarding photosystem...

Tidal Influence is cool. Way back when, I used it with Spiny Starfish to make my army of tokens into 2/1 attackers. No longer possible because of the ruling on poor Spiny Starfish, but it sure was fun. Tidal Flats is just weird and seems pretty useless, but it seems like there has to be...

To be fair, EB did point out that the court overturned a proposition that had the popular vote. Courts can be very powerful. I didn't jump on him. I pointed out the same thing twice because he made the same mistake twice. And there is an important distinction between homosexuality and...

Um, yeah I would. Perhaps your definition of "natural" might be considered an extrapolation of procreation being a natural process? That doesn't make any sense. If I say I don't understand something, I don't. What's so hard to believe about that? And I think I've definitely understood most of...

Fallen Empires doesn't seem to have any truly abysmal cards. There are several mediocre or inferior cards, but nothing strikes me as particularly awful. Even Implements of Sacrifice is just a sub-par manafixer. But it still works. If I needed manafixing, Implements could do it. Having the two...

Knight of the White Orchid: Only better than White Knight if you already know the opponent won't be playing black--still a solid card. Bant Charm: Meh. Looks mediocre. Vein Drinker: Reminds me of Invasion. Not a bad card, though. Resounding Thunder: Crap. Etherium Sculptor: Reminds me of...

If they're all strictly homosexual and never have any inclination to engage in heterosexual behavior, then yes. While such people may exist, there are certainly others that are slightly more bisexual. But this seems irrelevant anyway. I've never seen "natural" defined as "procreating." Certainly...

I didn't argue that they weren't. Once again "natural" doesn't mean "good." Saying that my reasoning has a problem because it means bad things also count as natural doesn't really do anything, because I've already acknowledged that. Ignored your challenge? I don't follow. What definition of...

Ugh. It seems like I'm alienating everyone. Well, not for Mooseman's benefit I guess, but for anyone who had a similar confusion... I didn't say that it is a fact that homosexuality is genetic. I said that it's a fact that it's "natural." That's a vague word, it's understandable if there's some...

Argh! I already said that the scientific method doesn't do proofs. "Unproven theory" is meaningless. Nor is "theory" a tier lower in some hierarchy of certainty than "fact." Theories are systems, models used to explain collections of facts. None of those individual observations can ever be a...

Isn't the whole issue semantics? I mean, you started the thread because of an article in which people altered the forms for their marriage because of semantics. That's the difference between "Party A/B" and "Bride/Groom." That's apparently the difference between "marriage" and "civil union" in...

I said this in the other thread too, but I guess I can repeat it: I'm apprehensive about mentions of legislation that doesn't yet exist. I've seen some pretty crazy proposals and initiatives. Until something is actually law, I just don't think it "counts." Well, that doesn't really work...

I dislike colored artifacts for flavor reasons, but these cards are kind of interesting.

Well, I don't know. The fact is, I'm not a mind-reader. I could suppose that there is some area in which California civil unions are unequal to California marriage. I could suppose that it's because separate institutions are inherently unequal. I could suppose that they want that word "marriage"...

He could say that breathing is a sin against God and it wouldn't be a crime.
