Well, I think I have all of the Warhammer Quest stuff sitting in my bedroom closet at this point. Because it's been a while, I'll need to take some time to refresh and figure out what the deal was with this campaign. Should have done so earlier. I'll make a note of it, though. In the meantime...

Scanning. Scanning. It would seem that organic user Rokapoke still has not posted, but has occasionally logged in. Rokapoke, are you lurking? Account for yourself, you furtive carbon-based lifeform.

I've decided to go through my collection and build casual decks of various flavors. I might eventually turn this into a real project with some goal or something, but right now I'm just messing around. Some of the decks that I build will be totally scrubtastic and others will be overpowered...

New article submitted, as before. Should I change the manner in which I'm sending them? I can use a different email address or whatever if that's more convenient...

I'm optimistic. I mean, their persistent refusal to ditch the Reserved List is annoying, but it's still possible for this to be a great set. Hopefully they take it easy on their attempts at draft chaff.

Oh! Yeah, it was those three musicians. Heh, I probably thought that the cryptic... ...was meant to be more ominous than you'd intended. As far as I know, they were just two artists who died around the same time. I haven't seen much as far as any details about it beyond that. Christopher...

I'd read about Rush, but missed that England died the day before. Not sure what you mean about coincidence unless it's just that they both died around the same time, which really isn't remarkable (they didn't actually both die on the same day, although it wouldn't really be that surprising if...

It doesn't actually show that. If previous results were, say, half Amulet Bloom and half Twin Exarch, then that'd be one thing. But that was never the case. Like, I just looked up the last large tournament from before the bannings, and there were eight different decks in the Top 8. Well, that's...

They banned those cards in Modern in time to stop the Pro Tour from being overrun by the same two dominant decks, Splinter Twin and Amulet Bloom. Top 8 from Pro Tour Oath of the Gatewatch... 1. Eldrazi 2. Eldrazi 3. Eldrazi 4. Affinity 5. Eldrazi 6. Eldrazi 7. Affinity 8. Eldrazi At this...

New article submitted. Plan is to have two of them ready before the end of the month, but I've only emailed one of them to Spidey so far. We'll see...

Go on Magic message boards that aren't this one, then look for threads about banned list announcements. There are posts from the 16th discussing the bannings, even though when they link to an announcement, the link now comes up as the same one you linked to. I'm guessing that they edited the...

Well, it's no Tin Fins. :p

Which list did you have in mind? There's the partial list (sans manabase) posted by Ninja of Ni, which is a start to something interesting, but as it stands, I'd think it would easily lose out on general duel matchups if compared to your B/R Pain Madness deck. The more interesting question would...

Yeah, I agree. Because that's how you want to approach the game. That's how you want to challenge yourself or whatever. Not everyone goes about things in that way... Some people like to build decks in which all of the cards have the same artist. Some people like to build decks that have...

Haha, nope.

What is it that you think that means, though? It seems to me that if one card can be a crutch, then any card could be a crutch. Even for the worst cards in the game, it's possible to construct decks that rely on those cards. This is a zero-sum game. Confusing. You say it's hypothetical, then...

You got me there, but I think I have pretty damn good excuse on this one... They'd already made the announcement several days ago. They accidentally leaked their own bannings because the beta MTGO already had the cards unavailable, so people figured it out and they went ahead and made an...
