You just explained my point, albeit in a different way. No one knew what the game would shape up to be back then, and no one knew what to expect. In retrospect, for most of Rosewater's audience, those first three changes gave us the game as we know it. For the people who were actually into the...

I really like this. There are some real classics here.

I've Seen it All - Björk (2000)

Yeah, from an editorial standpoint the "were going to kill the game" is definitely more engaging than "some players didn't like these changes." I tend toward nostalgia on some things myself, but I try to appreciate when there are improvements to the game too. It's all very much in retrospect...

The Fall of the House of Usher - The Alan Parsons Project (1976)

Dorgath is successful. He collects two firebombs. There is enough gold for all four warriors to collect 375 apiece. There is also treasure... To move things along, I'll assume that everyone contributes to identifying the treasure... -Dawnstone: Can be used to resurrect someone once. Worth...

It does seem that there has always been some vocal contingent of players that scream doom and gloom over seemingly innocuous changes. I was expecting to see more "this mechanic was unpopular and players believed it was the beginning of the end for the game" type of stuff. Some of these strike me...

That was the alternative name for Type 1 before it became "Vintage." Of course, it wouldn't be too much of a cause for confusion because everyone has forgotten about that by now. It's easy to assume that the cards banned in Legacy would probably also be banned in a hypothetical anti-Modern...

He Goes to Church on Sunday - Billy Murray (1907)

Dorgath finds the same trap again. He thinks he sees a way to disarm the traps. If he's right, he could collect two free firebombs and open the chests safely. If he is wrong, well...

Dorgath finds that this chest is rigged to explode when opened!

Yeah, I don't really have a booster preference anyway. It's been a long time since I've tried any format that was even remotely similar to this, so I don't know what to expect.

Ancient? Primeval? Antique? Passe?

Oh yeah, I guess the tower is the same size in either case, huh? Didn't remember that. Well then, I guess it's up to Spidey.

I was out of town for three days. Didn't think anything of it because usually no one is in any big hurry around here, but whatever.

A Man Without a Dream - Carol King (1966)

Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress - The Hollies (1972)

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John (1973)

Dorgath trips in his own makeshift harness on his first step. Fortunately for him, his failure to scale the gap between pits is so spectacular that he doesn't even make it far enough to actually fall into a pit. He just falls onto the ground, which isn't painful (at least not physically)...

Sounds fun. I'm in.
