Um, yes. And as a single-player game with an "avatar" walking around, it's no different from the old Ultimas or Avernum series or any of the old-school RPGs. And unlike MMOs, the avatar in the Microprose game doesn't "level up" or have stats, whereas most MMOs (I would say all, but I'm...

You know I'm in!

Dorgath makes a mental note to tuck in his beard next time and to make an appointment to visit the Dwarf Temple Valaya to rid him of the memories of being probed and fondled. In the meantime, since the Beasts tried to take advantage of him without wining and dining him first, Dorgath attack...

Whoops, missed you had zero cards in hand to do anything. So you take 6. Swamp Done Spidey: 79 Dmg from Commander: 0/21 Hand: 4 Library: 78 Commander Zone: WUBR Battlefield: (U) Plains (U) Island (U) Swamp (U) Rakdos Carnarium (~ ETB tapped.; When ~ ETB, return a land I control to its...

Well, I like playing with these and trying to figure out how to play them (aside from "bad" draws, like mana floods or lack of mana). Maybe we should do best two out of three with the provided sideboard after we do all of them :) I like the Commander ones too, although I just have terrible...

So after almost a month :), the result of the combat is that your Sailback dies and you take 2 Welder Automaton Done Spidey: 21 Energy Ctrs: 2 Hand: 9 Battlefield: (T,U) Swamp x2 (U) Island (U) Plains (T) Forest (U) Mt (T) Irontread Crusher (6/6; Crew 3) (U) Gifted Aetherborn (2/3...

Huh. Well, I haven't done the mental math, let's see... if you had FB'd them, say, two turns ago, that would have given you 18 Spider token, right? For a total of 27. I have 6 blockers with lifegain of 11. So if you just attacked with them and I used everyone to block, that would be a loss...

I think Magic Duels pretty much has what you describe, really, with the exception of the "teamwork" part. I can't think of any MMO out there right now that isn't first person - pretty much the point or idea of an MMO is that you create an avatar of sorts so you "play" as that person in the...

Heads and good luck!

Yay! I won one! Good game! Yeah, I'm lucky to have drawn them early since I couldn't do the early weenie rush like you did to me :) Out of curiosity, did you consider Flashbacking the Spider Spawnings and try to overwhelm me with the Spider tokens? Yep, onto Dark Ascension!

I don't know. It just sounds like a D&D or Warcraft MMO but set in the MTG universe. You're probably a Planeswalker and you fight others and monsters/villains, probably by casting spells (to keep the MTG flavor). So mainly "Wizard"/magic casting (for those D&D based). And perhaps you can get...

That equipped Saproling token isn't tapped, right? Untap, upkeep, Draw Attack with the two Thopter tokens and the Angel Responses/blocks/take it? Spidey: 79 Dmg from Commander: 0/21 Hand: 5 Library: 78 Commander Zone: WUBR Battlefield: (U) Plains (U) Island (U) Rakdos Carnarium (~ ETB...

Oh yeah, it's already tapped. So no Precise Strike for me at this time either. So responses? Damage?

I'm not disagreeing with any of that; I mentioned usenet myself. I certainly tried on my own :) I agree that it was odd for WOTC not to take the lead. Maybe Mark Rosewater or someone from back then will do an article and give insight on the thinking back then. Although maybe it was simply...

Dorgath throws some Flash Powder at the forms and charges.

When you've been here for 22 years, it does :D

Yeah, it probably was, since he mentions his opponent also ran Vandals.

Nice that we were mentioned! And very unfortunate that we don't attract new members, not even initial applications to see what's here and then leaving - we've probably had one new member join in the past 5 years or so. I agree with turgy22 that casual is more a mindset than format (witness...
