Well, I was confining myself to monored cards in that example because multicolored cards add their own considerations. As it happens, I think that Lightning Helix is good card design, and I think I very briefly mentioned that in the memories thread for Lim-Dûl's Vault. Maybe I should be more...

What might get lost in the context of discussions here at the CPA is that in many other places, there are at least a few vocal detractors of just about everything WotC does, people who criticize everything and act like they just can't get anything right. I consider my own stance to be much more...

Those cards are really emblematic of the disappointment I have for most of the recent sets. Counterspell and Lightning Bolt were old core set staples, so new cards with similar effects are inevitably going to be judged against them. WotC have decided that those cards are too strong to appear in...

Oh yes, we're doing this. We're making this happen now. I finally decided that I'd put it off for long enough. But the time has come! Well now, where to begin? I don't know whether my favorite card ever is Dark Ritual or Necropotence. They go together anyway, so it's really just a matter of...

False Dawn is an interesting one. Not something I usually think of when looking for combo components. The card is obviously based on Celestial Dawn, which I included on this list as the representative from Mirage. I hadn't thought about it, but False Dawn probably has more utility in combo decks...

-Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz heals him (21/25). -Dorgath's Axe heals him (22/25). -Tomas casts Lifebringer. He heals some wounded companions: Throg (26/29), Tyresius (18/20), Revaethan (17/18). -Tomas casts Ogre Strength on Tyresius (+2 Strength this turn). -Jekaena casts Finger of Life on...

Heads it is.

I found it! The Slave of Bolas card from this deck wound up in the box with the "Repeat Performance" Event Deck somehow. While it's most likely that it got knocked off the table and I found it face-down while putting the Event Deck away, I'm amused at the possibility that it made into my deck...

Jade Reflection Quest When you cast your next instant or sorcery spell, copy that spell, and you may choose new targets for the copy.

I've never actually seen anyone use See Beyond, but then, I stopped using Lat-Nam's Legacy long before See Beyond came out. Seems like I probably would have used it if it had existed. While I tend to think that most competitive players overvalue instant speed, it really can be the deciding...

Translation... The Commander format is OK for us because we get to sell those expensive precons, but it doesn't help move booster packs. Imagine how cool it would be (for us) if there were a format like Commander, but without all of those old cards that don't make us any money. Perhaps I'm...

Of course I remember the separator bar from Portal. I never really thought that Magic cards needed such a thing. Pretty sure that if a 7-year-old kid (or younger) can recognize the difference between rules text and flavor text, which I've observed in action, then it's not really a point of...

Good game. I guess at the time I knew Rokapoke's timing in dropping off was a bit unfortunate because if we got the game going again I was probably about to end it. Of course by the time we got the ball rolling again, I'd forgotten where we'd left off. I'll have to see if I have a spare copy...

So is that starting this week or starting next week?

Perhaps the best use of Lat-Nam's Legacy is in combo decks that rely on some key card being in one's library when the deck is supposed to go off. I've seen it used with Polymorph, although I haven't tried that myself... But yeah, a lot of combo decks cheat creatures onto the battlefield, and...

I like Biovisionary. One of the Duels of the Planeswalkers games had an AI opponent that used a control deck with copying Biovisionary as its win condition and it was terrifying, especially once the third Biovisionary on the board showed up. Oddly, most of my Lat-Nam's Legacy gameplay probably...

UUD, Crumbling Necropolis, attack with Vampire Nighthawk, all three Horror tokens, Flametongue Kavu, and Sun Titan. Responses?

Well, I was hoping to bring Melkor's life total more in line with everyone else's and maybe make it so that he doesn't have all of the sites, but ultimately I suspect you guys are right, so it looks like we have a consensus. I'll just have to hope that my Aether Gale wasn't a complete waste. I'm...

Yeah, I didn't even think about it, but the wording is a bit different from the wording that you be used on a Magic card, which is unfortunate. I'd completely forgotten about that tile. Typed up a post saying that I was attacking you and then noticed it when I was updating the board state. I...
