    Well, I resorted to pulling everything and starting over, but that didn't work either! Now all I get is "RobPoll fatal error" where the current topic should be. Zoiks! Worse, I printed everything out before I did it, but the poll on Favorite Color didn't print right and I lost it. I'm really...

    Voting Topics

    Well, I just tried to fix the Voting Booth glitch and failed. I don't know what's wrong with it, and why it just keeps displaying an old topic, when it should be showing the new one I just re-posted. What I may end up doing is pulling ALL the old topics, and just putting up the new one. I'd...

    Voting Topics

    I think I just found a glitch in the Voting Booth. I just set up a new Voting topic (one we didn't discuss beforehand, but one Chasden should like :) ), but when I looked on the front page the Restriction topic was back! Ironic, huh, considering the discussion going on in another thread. :o It...

    On Restriction and Banning

    Apollo, A few questions, but first, you may be right about the Zorb, but then again you may not. I've always hated that card, but I remember usually winning the game when my opponent started saccing land to stay alive too. Many people swore by them years ago, but perhaps it wouldn't hurt...

    CPA Voting Issues: Best Set

    Okay. I was going to wait a little while to post this, but I think I need to now to try and avoid some of the confusion in another thread. I'll be posting this as a Voting Topic in a couple weeks, so I thought I should start a thread here to discuss it. The subject is Best Set, and what we're...

    On Restriction and Banning

    Apollo, I agree with many of your individual card assessments. Dream Halls, Earthcraft, MOM, and Memory Jar were gimmicky cards in the first place, which I doubt anyone even seriously considered for constructed play until they showed up in their respective combo decks. I agree that none of them...

    On Restriction and Banning

    Apollo, That's a fairly far-reaching statement. Balance, since restriction, never even appearing in a winning tournament deck? Berserk, Regrowth, Wheel of Fortune, or Fork either? It's been a long, long time since I played in a Type 1 tourney (more on that in a minute) but from what I...

    On Restriction and Banning

    OK, Apollo, here it is: Demonic Tutor Balance Wheel of Fortune Sol Ring Regrowth Berserk Black Vise Fork Timetwister Time Walk Candelabra of Tawnos Braingeyser Mishra's Workshop Underworld Dreams Ivory Tower Zuran Orb I don't think any of these cards has been considered "Broken" in Type 1 play...

    ISTANBUL!

    I think CT has the right of it. And Griffith_se. I checked back into the archives in the Decks forum, and found your 2 posts there, Jeff. One was a pile of cards that bore a strange resemblance to the best of a 6th starter and 2 boosters, and in the other forum you asked for, and got, some...

    CPA Voting Issues: Best Block

    Spiderman, You are correct in that I did intend this topic as a discussion about the Blocks, starting with the 1st declared block, Ice Age, through the current block, Mercadian Masques. I don't have a problem with anyone who wishes to mention an earlier set though. I was planning on trying to do...

    Much Needed help!

    Good point, CT, but I'll try and have a go at it anyway... 1.) What influence, if any, has Hasbro had on WotC's day to day operations? 2.) Outside of Pokemon, it seems that the rest of the CCG market has slowed down quite a bit. What is WotC's read on this? 3.) Why doesn't the Wizards online...

    CPA Voting Issues: Best Block

    I'll be posting this as a Voting topic in a couple weeks, so I thought I should post a thread here for us to discuss it beforehand. The subject is Best Block of cards, and what we're interested in hearing here is your thoughts on all the Stand alone sets, from Ice Age to Mercadian Masques, and...

    CPA Voting Issues: Block Mechanics

    I'll be posting this as a Voting topic in a couple weeks, so I thought I should post a thread here for us to discuss it beforehand. The subject is Block mechanics, and what we're interested in hearing here is what your favorites are, and why. Let's talk about it! :D

    Phyrexian Wrath

    I didn't make it to the card shop tonight after all, though I do plan on trying again in 2 weeks. The place where I play allows newer expansions in their store tourneys from the date of their release, so the Prophecy stuff would be OK. I'm currently leaning toward Arrest, due to the Lin Sivvi...

    Broken for replenish

    Actually, there's just a couple things I'd like to point out. The first is: Gizmo, I think the point Lythand was trying to make is that many of the cards in Prophecy seem custom made for Replenish. That there are as many good, or better, cards out there just makes them "I win more" cards. All...
