The power of a card is rather subjective. Thought Lash can easily remove your entire library from the game, which can be considered powerful, but without a way to harness that power... Demonic Tutor contains the same card-getting power as Peak. Both get you one card. Peak does it for less mana...

Maybe it's more of a region thing, I don't know. I've never run into people who held others to banned/restricted list except I guess not using Unglued cards unless it's okayed (which makes sense, I think, because it's a different sort of game if there are Unglued cards, and you don't want to be...

Yes, as has been pointed out, Fylgja's not a very good card. I've never used it myself. However, it's not completely useless, as it can protect a small creature with an ability-somewhat. Cards that grant actual protection or more powerful effects, like Flickering Ward or Inviobility tend to see...

That's barring the errata and also assuming they give you time to set up the huge amount of tokens necessary to make an impact...

The Runes are cute, and the Circles used to see a lot of use. Red in particular is nasty (because Red has virtually no way around it). But Story Circle is actually good, very good... Now, let's be a bit more specific. I think we should talk about... Circle of Protection: Shadow

What does that mean?

Synergy in the case of Magic is cards working together to produce a more powerful effect so that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." A good example of synergy is the famous/infamous Donate + Ilusions of Grandeur combo.

A good point, it might be a dead card in your hand against some decks...

I hated 6th for the rules changes, and it isn't that powerful, but it has some good choices for reprints (and some bad ones)... I don't see 5th as being worse than 4th by too much though...

Um, I guess by using a word that archaic, you're proving that you're not... But what is the significance of this?

I see... Like my multiplayer-fun deck with its near-constant reset buttons or the time my playgroup did highlander for a while... Well, my discard deck has 3 too many jars for a Type I legal deck, a guy I know has 4 Time Spirals powering his Mind's Desire deck, another whose artifact deck...

Well, I meant I beat life-gain with the Necro version. I don't know how the mono-blue would beat life-gain... The Type I Rector version looks really fun though... Any spell you can't counter? Yeah, they can only play so many of those though...

It's more of a situational or reactive card than one to build a deck around (it relies too much on what your opponent uses). However, it did kill me in a Casual (with a capital "C" I guess :) ) tournament in one round. I had a losing hand to begin with and it never helped except then, but I was...

Ironically enough, as others pointed out, they don't see Illusions of Grandeur being used as originally intended. It actually can be abused, at least more than Forbidden Ritual wiout the errata. Illusions doesn't have an errata though... Now, I don't want Illusions to have an errata, even...

It doesn't have any sort of upkeep or any other obligation. The number of spells will be lowered overall, but with MP, you're still going to get some most likely. I'd try it...

I would go with the latter, because it's a more versatile strategy...

Heh, good idea...

Whereas I beat life-gain consistently with it, but that shows how much variation there is in the game... Necropotence is a favorite of mine, but it's not the best card in the game. That title easily goes to the insane card-drawer: Mystic Remora.

Everyone uses cards for purposes that they weren't originally intended for... Well, maybe not everyone, but if that were what erratas were for, we'd have a lot more erratas... We didn't mean for Balance to be broken, so let's errata the crap out of it... Ancestral Recall? That thing's errata...

Carrion maybe... Kaervek's Spite, even with the errata... But basically anything that gets you tokens... Infernal Genesis, Saproling Burst, that sort of thing...
