    Hall of Shame Nominations: Arabian Nights

    I've killed people with Aladdin's Lamp many times. Being expensive can be a good thing. Especially because back in the day, there was only one card with a higher casting cost (Polar Kraken) and the Lamp was perfect for things that took advantage of high casting costs. Also, its ability is pretty...

    Corrupted Wishes game

    The topless bar near the airport goes out of business. When the owners find out that it was because of your wish, they beat you half to death. I wish someone would beat Ransac all the way to death.

    Hall of Shame Nominations: Arabian Nights

    Pyramids is pretty bad. I mean, it totally and very effectively hoses someone who's trying to play a bunch of late game land destruction or enchant all of your lands for some reason, but no one ever does that. It's too situational and could have costed 0 and still not been particularly good. I...

    Corrupted Wishes game

    You play on the hit show "Wheel of Fortune." The other players are much better than you and take all of the prizes. Your only consolation prize is a Spanish version VHS tape of the movie "Big." I wish I knew Spanish.

    Youtube video comment fields are, not counting IMDb message boards, the bottom of the internet. Read them at your own risk and prepare to see some inane and barely intelligible drivel. As for Czechoslovakia: From 1918 to 1993, there was a country called Czechoslovakia (before 1918 it was part...

    Who's blaming it on senility? I'm perfectly willing to accept that this has nothing to do with age. Now the Czechoslovakia thing (twice that I know of), really does come across as senility... Obama's mistake was funny too, but in a completely different way.

    You never saw it because TurboLich was weird, hard to play, hard to build, not all that long-lived, and kind of unpopular. But it was still powered by Lich and could tear through people just like any combo deck. I really don't see how a card that allowed people to do that could be considered...

    Eventide Previews

    It's a neat concept, but I don't know how it would best be put to use. The most obvious thing would be that it's an expensive board-cleaner because it deals with even indestructible creatures and other pesky removal-resistant threats. But that just seems so bland...

    I'm not aware of any cases in which it was a "global warming card" specifically that played a big role in getting someone elected, but exploiting fear has certainly been a very popular tactic in elections. Yeah, other than in extreme circumstances, it seems that there are a lot of factors...

    Melkor has a good pick with Farmstead. It does stand out as one of the most disappointing cards in the original set. Word of Command? Modus, are you insane? Here's a situation in which Word of Command is useful: Fireball. Sure, it's not the most godlike card ever and for the powerhouses in this...

    Not that I don't sympathize, but I think you'll find that a little patience, literacy, understanding of the scientific method, and grasp of basic chemistry/physics/statistics (with research on some of the specific details in this case, as with any other case if you really want to understand...
