Um, that's not true of the other blue cards though. Ponder and Merchant Scroll weren't even making it into a majority of blue decks. Gush was pretty hugely popular though. Flash was only being used in, well, Flash. Also, see the explanation. That sure looks to the contrary. Where do you see...

Remember what set the Pony's in? Yeah, it's not even in the bottom 10.

Necropotence... I know it's so huge that it's one of the two examples you gave and it's a broken card. I would have loved to have picked something else that's not quite as iconic or infamous. I like Pox, Charisma, Infernal Contract/Cruel Bargain, Kaervek's Spite, Doomsday, Seismic Assault, and...

There's this other card you might REALLY like then. It's called Swords to Plowshares.

Where are you getting that? Are you seriously saying that no one card has ever been in as many decks as the combination of both Strip Mine and Mishra's Factory in 1997? I highly doubt that. Strip Mine by itself (and even Factory by itself at some point) are certainly contenders, in part because...

Makes sense to me. Or should we search the rest of the arena first? It is pretty big and that may take some time, but you never know...

I'm up for it. I think I actually managed to nominate a card every time with the old hall of fame. I'll try to do so with this version...

Yes. I think I said something like this. But if I didn't, well, I do completely agree. I don't think that's what most people would call "vast" but it is, after all, subjective. I think you're reading too much into this. No one's goal so far in this thread has been to develop a comprehensive...

But even at the time there were other popular cards that didn't get restricted. If popularity alone were enough, like I said, basic lands would have been gone a long time ago.

So the word "chroma" doesn't actually do anything? The cards with it would be functionally the same without it? It's just there to warn you: you're going to have to count some mana symbols?

I'm thinking that you're convinced my "view" is more complicated than it might really be. That you've mentioned how up-to-date I am or asked about it so much seem to indicate that maybe I'm basing what I've said on the way things used to be. Is that right? As far as I can remember, things have...

*Cugel will examine the arrows and if they're any good, take them.*

Unshackled? Free? Independent? Hey, wait a minute, just because Ransac's a pony-lover doesn't mean that I'm into that...

That's not the definition of "popular." The "vast majority" is necessarily more than 50%. How much more depends on just how "vast" we have to be, but I'd say someone claiming 60% is a vast majority is misleading. It's got to be more than that. On the other hand "popular" doesn't even have to be...

Great Wall is #31.

I remember that article and talking about all of the problems with it. Of course there's always going to be some debate about the worst card ever, but my vote then and probably now goes to Wood Elemental, which for some reason is only #11. It's certainly much, much worse than Pale Moon. Pale...

Okay, so it's nothing about the potential energy of the fuel itself, but it's more volume being produced from the cane? That makes sense.

Ponies? One Pony is all it takes. What kind of sadistic monster are you? :eek: It's usually assumed in polite society that one will not be resorting to a deck like that. And while you would win at first, be careful, because if you run into Rhinoseeker, it will run right over that decklist...

Okay, but then it's definitely not the ethanol that's doing it. Ethanol is ethanol and the chemical is always the same no matter where it came from.
