By the way, did you see the "Banned from Constructed play" post I made? It was inspired by a quote from you, which I just happened to see while looking for one of my own posts when I was writing stuff in this thread. And now here you are! Coincidence?

Huh, I always thought of Zoo as more competing with Survival decks than joining with them, but both concepts were flexible enough for there to be overlap. Don't think I ever actually saw the card in Null Rod Zoo firsthand, but I've seen stranger things. Huh, I guess I did have a similar kind...

TomB's post in the Dark Ritual thread reminded me that I have some old decklists from in the Magic the Gathering computer game that Microprose made in 1996, and I thought it might be interesting to revisit my decklists. I defeated Arzakon, the final boss in Shandalar, way back in 2005, then...

I was surprised that Explosive Impact wasn't being picked and I thought it might come all the way back around to me, but then Turgy shattered my dreams. Man, the rest of these red cards really suck... I'll take Spinning Darkness and Ondu Champion. Uh, Mooseman is next? Black Skitterskin...

Well, if you get (dubious) blame for the problem, I suppose you also have to get credit for fixing it! :)

Yes, but I try to keep them from clashing too badly if something else is going on. The Unexpected Event table for this dungeon is one I made myself, but I did borrow some content from the original books. The Nurgle's Rot encounter seemed thematically appropriate, but you are correct in your...

But seriously, has that been the problem this whole time? With how many people we've had legitimately show up and post a few things before vanishing over the years since I first found this site in 2003 (couldn't get an account here initially because of some technical issue I had myself, the...

That'll really keep the spammers out!

You know, I pulled the "Nurgle's Rot Encounter" from one of the original books and I think the Pit Fighter character hadn't been created yet when they wrote that part about healing potions. But there were already some treasure cards that offered different kinds of healing potions. Some only heal...

The Shandalar portion of the game, with the world map and all that, is buggy even on my old Windows 2000 machine, albeit still playable. But the mode that lets you just play Magic against an AI works even on my laptop. It didn't work on my new desktop, but for all I know, it's a simple fix in...

UUD, Forest, Overgrown Battlement, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 5 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T,T) Plains x2 (U) Flayer Husk (Living Weapon; Equipped creature gets +1/+1; Equip 2) (T) Germ creature token (1/1 from Flayer Husk) *Equipped w/Flayer Husk* (S) Stoneforge Mystic (1/2...

I don't think Terentius has been around for a while, but if this deck is still a thing... Felidar Guardian has been all the rage lately, because apparently WotC failed to realize that blinking planeswalkers could be good. Use Narset to give your own spells Rebound a couple of times, then once...

The next turn is uneventful and the party reaches the disused door at the end of the hall.

The party leaves the room and heads north. At first, this is uneventful. They pass out of the T-junction section and along a corridor. The passage stretches further, terminating in a dirty, disused door. -The Power Phase is 1. An Unexpected Event occurs. You suddenly come upon the slumped...

I have an old computer that still runs the first Magic computer game (the one with the "Shandalar" mode). I occasionally play a few fun games against the AI, and Swamp with Dark Ritual into Black Knight and Unholy Strength is a very common first-turn play for me. Hm, I should try posting my...

I can understand the rationale behind abandoning Dark Ritual. As long as the card is in the environment, black three-drops can effectively be black one-drops. Supposedly, WotC R&D originally pulled Hypnotic Specter from the core set because they thought that it was too powerful, only to later...

Draw, Forest done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 5 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T) Plains (U) Flayer Husk (Living Weapon; Equipped creature gets +1/+1; Equip 2) (S) Germ creature token (1/1 from Flayer Husk) *Equipped w/Flayer Husk* Graveyard: Exile...

Heads it is. Not mulliganing.

I don't think that any of those cards slot very well into a currently powerful deck, except maybe Frantic Search because hey, free card-drawing. But I do agree that Mind Twist is probably the most egregious. Another one that's pretty weird to still have on there is Goblin Recruiter. Legacy had...

That leaves us with this list of "banned from constructed play" cards... Earthcraft Frantic Search Goblin Recruiter Hermit Druid Mind Twist Survival of the Fittest Well, on the one hand, at least that isn't very many cards! One could potentially dispute some points. Some of the cards that I...
