I get where you're coming from. Or I think I do, anyway. But I'd contend that an important distinction isn't that land destruction is inherently unfun, but that it is an effect with a greater-than-average danger of potentially becoming unfun. Land destruction can be used in multiple ways. In...

Crack a treasure token and Unsummon the Aegiosaur. Block a saproling with Air Elemental.

UUD, attack Oversoul...oh wait, I can't do that even though it's what everyone else is doing. Play Island. Well, I'm still going to try to take my Tree back and also I'm still going to create those treasure tokens (or rather, they were already created). Also summoning an Air Elemental and using...

Much like Counterspell, WotC continued to use Stone Rain as a baseline card for the cost of providing its effect, with most other variants being a bit more expensive to do something extra and with the original card remaining in the core set and acting as a kind of default. And then, in the...

The Ring of Illusion covers it up. It's an illusion. The effects of that Atrophy attribute are real (and could hypothetically lower your characteristics, but you rolled the "it's just cosmetic and doesn't affect his profile" option when you picked up the attribute). Good question. I have...

If I remember correctly, I opened over 80 packs of Aether Revolt without ever seeing a single masterpiece. Doesn't hurt my feelings too much because I'm not into foil cards anyway. But yeah, they're stupidly rare. Some people have taken to calling them "lottery cards."

Hm, I'll try to clarify it better... It's pretty common in Warhammer Quest for an item, character skill, or other optional effect to work "once per adventure." Also prevalent, although a bit less common, is for some boost or bonus to last "for one adventure." The default adventure, like if...

Yep, Ice Storm was last printed in the glorious Unlimited Edition. It was taken off the Reserved List in 2002, so it could theoretically be reprinted, but so far it hasn't been reprinted. Sinkhole was in the exact same position, but then it was reprinted as a rare in Eternal Masters (which, of...

They're obnoxiously rare in booster packs of the sets that have them (Battle for Zendikar, Oath of the Gatewatch, Kaladesh, Aether Revolt, Amonkhet, Hour of Devastation). I heard the ratio was supposedly around one masterpiece per booster box. So it's either get super lucky or buy from someone...

True. I was kinda shoehorning into the theme of me clogging up the Single Card Discussion forum. And it kinda works: it's just that from the beginning of the game there were multiple mostly interchangeable land destruction spells. I mean, Sinkhole is the best, but the others are pretty good. I...

While looking for some cards for a deck, I realized that I do not currently own a single copy of Ice Storm. A technicality that will shortly be remedied! So yeah, buying some copies post-haste. Not sure what happened. I used to have Ice Storm at some point. Must have been one of those things...

Heh. I saw Mooseman had taken his turn and just went because I was after him. Didn't even notice that Melkor hadn't gone yet. So it's Mooseman's fault? :p

One round of combat. Not the whole combat. I tend to automatically use them if a character is in dire straits, just to streamline things and try to get combat flowing. My assumption is that if your character is badly hurt and you have an ability that could save him from being reduced to 0...

This concludes Part 3 of The Sylvan Epic: Traversing the Pine Crags. Now we begin Part 4: Haunted Boughs You've prepared yourselves as you could at the encampment. You reconvene. Kelgar has been wandering the encampment, preaching the word of Sigmar. Dorgath has been visiting various dwarven...

UUD, Island. Hm, I still want that Deeproot Tree. Attack Spidey and take it. Air Elemental, done. Put counter from Deeproot Tree on Air Elemental. Melkor: 11 Command Zone: Cannons to Port (The next time you deal combat damage to the player on your left, draw a card.) Walls of Adanto (Site...

All character sheets in the main thread should now be up-to-date. More to follow.

UUD, Plains, Call of the Conclave, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 7 Library: 52 Battlefield: (U) Forest Graveyard: Exile: ================================================================================ Oversoul: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T) Plains (T) Forest (S) Centaur token (3/3)...

I recently revisited the Dark Ritual thread and noted the myriad utility of such a simple spell. Regrowth probably has that same sort of thing going on. One could probably analyzed its role in different environments and have a whole lot to say about it. My own applications have generally been...

By the way, character sheets in the main thread are now updated for everyone except Throg. I just need one more thing for him and then it's onward to Welhallas.

All of the Dwarven Guildmaster Runes except for a single Rune of Smashing, which you had purchased in Middenheim a couple of months ago from Dorgath's perspective (and four years ago from yours). Correct.
