And then you drive into a tree and get your teeth knocked out.

*Picks up some of the papers (not the same ones Si'Nat is reading--that would be silly) in order to attempt reading them*

I think I know who drove them off... :p

No, and it isn't that bad now either. But I can picture something like Chaos Orb or Falling Star seeing a lot of use nowadays, even if its effect wasn't all that great (just on the off-chance that a lucky throw could be made). Still, I have heard a lot of "Chaos Orb" stories from days gone by...

Any "discard deck" I've seen has had black as the more common color. This is simply because Hymn, Duress, Mind Twist, Hypnotic Specter, and almost all the other decent discard spells are black. Control decks that are not entirely discard-based and use Hymn tend to be monoblack (like Necro and...

Dilatory

Yes, I would say so.

Well, I don't think that someone with "Cabal Patriarch" as a name was your best opportunity for that... :rolleyes:

Still nothing about an afterthought. Including Hymn in two-color (with black as one of those colors, of course) decks is an exception. I don't know how "rare" it is. It's certainly much less common than using Hymn in monoblack decks. Nothing in my sentence indicated that Hymn was an...

Well, anything can be interesting. Things don't need justification to be interesting. But the Chaos Orb deal is particularly interesting to me because it was once widely used, but was banned everywhere before I started playing (and it's expensive enough to buy that I've never seen it used in...

Well, I hadn't thought of that aspect...

No. Should I have a Dell?

Since when do "maybe" and "but" qualify something as being an afterthought? And I did italicize the "almost" in that sentence for emphasis. Also, the very next sentence mentions a two-color deck I personally built that used Hymns. Why "problems"? Do you seriously consider having a stricter...

Search cards do play a role. And while we have seen some powerful cards printed since 1994 (Yawgmoth's Will comes to mind), I think one big difference is that deckbuilding has become more developed in the decade or so since this deck was made. But while there are differences, there are also...

"They both appear to be safe."

I completely agree. But any deck that runs instant-speed creature removal can make gating creatures problematic. I learned just how bad that can get in the same way Darthferret did, although in my case, no man-lands were involved. Still, Treetop Village and Faerie Conclave (not to mention...

Casually, I do not doubt at all that Twincast is worth playing, since Fork is worth playing. In tournaments though, yeah, time will tell...

If his post is supposed to be even remotely similar to English, he means the opposite of that (or something else), although I'm not sure what brought it up... :rolleyes:

How am I conveying that it should be automatically excluded? I mentioned that I've used Hymn to Tourach in U/B myself. Fork has the same problem, but is more situational: it needs another spell to target, and its quality depends on the effect of that spell. As such, Fork gets pushed into the...
