Deicide

Good thing I remembered to submit Part 4 before I went to bed! It had slipped my mind all week. Anyway, the order of cards has obviously been rather haphazard here, but this new installment has some of my favorites: the worst misprints in Alpha, and some of Magic's most notorious cards. I'm...

Human druids with pointy ears?

Many others have made Magic's nonsensical taxonomy the butt of jokes. I've certainly done so myself. Pygmy Allosaurus is probably the most egregious erratum in this category. There were already lizards at the time the card was printed. It wasn't one of them. But the great creature type revision...

Full, open-ended deck building? That could be a big boon for this franchise. I didn't get why they hadn't already done it.

You're such a tease.

Mana Confluence is a usually superior alternative to City of Brass (better against Rishadan Port, but worse in combination with, say, Phyrexian Unlife). Theros and Born of the Gods have a few corner-case Legacy playables between them. This set hasn't even been spoiled yet, but it already clearly...

I'll use the black mana to cast Volcano Imp. Then I'll play Grafted Skullcap. Discard Fever Charm to the Skullcap. Done. Common Pool Nothing. Ha! Library: 55 Graveyard: Last Breath (Oversoul), Chromatic Star (rokapoke), Eladamri's Call (rokapoke), Primal Growth (Mooseman), Soothing...

Yeah, it's already looking higher-powered than Born of the Gods. I mean, this whole block is a bit weak in comparison to previous ones, but it's still got a lot of appeal. I really like that they appear to finally be following through on the "enchantment matters" concept with this set.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Untap, upkeep, draw, tap both Swamps floating BB, Dark Ritual, tap a Mountain to cast Raze sacrificing one of my Swamps to destroy my other Swamp. Responses? Common Pool Nothing. Ha! Library: 55 Graveyard: Last Breath (Oversoul), Chromatic Star (rokapoke), Eladamri's Call (rokapoke)...

New article submitted. The title might be in error. I think I put "Article 12" in the title. This week's article is actually Article 13. Realized that after I submitted it...

Extinguish All Hope looks like it could be quite the casual superstar, huh?

Generating characters for Rokapoke and TomB. They just have a few more choices to make. I might also get to the rest of the characters tomorrow. I might not be on at all on Friday: my new employer apparently insists that I report to some medical clinic and get tortured all day in order to...

Nothing so far? Well, here are some of the cards I've been considering... Dredgers: Dakmore Salvage Golgari Grave-Troll Stinkweed Imp Shambling Shell Golgari Brownscale Nightmare Void Life from the Loam Darkblast Dredge enablers: Bazaar of Baghdad Extractor Demon Fauna Shaman Phantasmagorian...

Nope.

Most characters have exact gains to their stats as they level up, and those increases vary depending on the character (the elf gets increases to Ballistic Skill more often, the dwarf gets increases to Willpower more often, and so on). They also gain skills as they level up. Not every character...

As you may have seen, comments directly on CPA articles have become problematic due to the comment queue being flooded with spam. Turgy suggested moving that here. While having a thread for every one of my articles is overkill, I figure there should be at least one thread, so I'm starting one...

Yeah, I believe I did make two replies recently. I wonder, is it so bad now because the the comment system is outdated and easier for spambots to flood? That's the only explanation I can think of. It's too bad, but I guess we don't really have an option to update it, as I imagine that would...
