Nothing was unbanned either. We're back to the doldrums of "no changes" in Eternal formats. Khans of Tarkir showing up and provoking some actual attention got my hopes up, but that was silly. If Erik Lauer can no longer be bothered to give Eternal formats any consideration whatsoever, they...

I definitely saw/heard cards called "jank" in the late 1990's. Looking at dictionaries, it seems that lexicographers consider it to be a probable back-formation from "janky" and/or a deliberate corruption of "junk." My sources indicate that "janky" goes back to at least the early 1990's in...

You have that right. In the event that keeping first-turn Land Tax offline becomes such a priority that one wants to hold a land drop back to achieve it, that land drop would be the second, and not the first. One could potentially use Mox Diamond to drop first-turn Land Tax and have it active...

Yeah, this set has a lot of potential gems. Looks like it could become the best set in a while...

It does seem rather silly, and I'm curious as to what these "non-interactive" games looked like. Interactivity is a concept that gets used in a lot of hazy arguments. Since it's Wizards of the Coast, I'm inclined to say that they think of interactivity as bashing creatures into each other. I...

Dark Petition looks amazing. I don't know what kind of deck would be right for it, but I'm excited for it.

It is expected to lower prices a bit, but the demand for many of these cards is very high and the set is more expensive than normal anyway.

Modern may be a crappy, overpromoted, micromanaged format in which Preordain is banned. It may be a real shame that WotC is trying to push Modern over Legacy. It may be the case that all the coolest decks that have ever been in the format were banned out of it because they were too cool for...

What happened? I've been working constantly and haven't heard about this yet...

"Wow, that deck is broken."

Ayn Rand was not what would normally be thought of as a conservative. Anyway, I want to contribute to this thread by making fun of Ayn Rand in some way, but I can't even decide where to start. So to seriously address the question... Ayn Rand's work is still relevant from a literary...

Thread necromancy!

Haven't gotten to build a new deck still. Any ideas?

Bump. This weekend I'll finally have a day off work for once and I plan on installing MWS on my laptop so that I can actually get this game moving.

Does Dominion count as a board game? I've been trying to get into it. I guess that my favorite board game is go, but I find it very difficult and haven't committed enough time to become anything approaching skilled at it.

Child of Gaea costs too much mana for this format!

Eh, I copied and pasted the list from the DCI website, which still hasn't updated to reflect the change. Treasure Cruise is also not on that list. Didn't think that they'd fail to update the list on their own site, but they did.

I did have some interesting in building a Tiny Leaders deck, but I didn't invest the time to actually do it yet.

I've got nothing.
