Seems fine to me. Some players would use more categories and some would probably use fewer. But that's not the issue at hand. And I'd say that under your scheme, the current wording of Time Vault is easily in the "broken" category.

I figured it probably was. But we don't know for sure. "Sometimes wrong" does NOT mean "mostly right." And no, I'm not "assuming something there." I know a little bit about the process of making dictionaries. And I do know that definitions are often written by individual lexicographers. I...

Aggravated Assault (for another chance to strike the killing blow)

What you wouldn't give for a Fling, huh? And what I wouldn't give for Damnation. However, my turn is a really boring untap, upkeep, draw, done. Oversoul: 18 Hand: 1 Library: 37 In Play: -(U, U) Overgrown Tomb x2 (swamp/forest) -(U, U, U, U) Forest x4 -(U, U) Swamp x2 -(U, U, U) Symbiotic Wurm...

You're making two unwarranted assumptions here, one of which I suspect is right anyway and one of which I know is sometimes wrong. You're assuming that definitions on Wiktionary are contributions by individuals and not group efforts. Most of them probably are. I don't know the exact percentages...

^ = BigBlue < = Oversoul v = Neither BigBlue nor Oversoul

Phage, the Untouchable (for Volrath's Shapeshifter to copy once it gets through unblocked as Dwarven Pony).

The implication is that a "standard" dictionary would be an "authority." That's not really what dictionaries do. Well, maybe some really pretentious dictionary-makers somewhere think so. But dictionaries are supposed to chart how words have been and are used, not tell us how to use them. Okay...

Well, the thing about the ante cards I was referring to was that they all read, "Remove ~this~ from your deck before playing if you're not playing for ante." Some have interpreted this to mean that you can build a 60-card deck with them and then, when not playing for ante, simply remove them...

*One of Oversoul's thrashing tentacles strikes Ransac, whipping his body around so that he is pointing accusingly at Mooseman by the time DarthFerret's vision recovers.*

Yeah. My concern is that a lot of the decks where one wouldn't want to include Street Wraith are ones that do, as you say, need certain cards in the first turns. And I'm worried that, even without Street Wraith, such decks will crap out on me. Decks that are consistent and can work with all but...

Righteous Avengers (gleefully slip past the Hacked Great Wall)

Ah. Shuffling seems best. That way no one knows what they'll be, same as before.

Psychic Vortex is not bad. It's no tournament favorite, but there are several worse cards in this set. I guess I just didn't expect it to be winning on a casual site. Don't people have a sense of adventure? It has cumulative upkeep draw a card! Cumulative upkeeps usually suck. This one is good...

I wasn't trying to convince anyone to "care" about Wiktionary. I only used it because other dictionaries don't include the particular "gaming" usage of the word as it's not mainstream enough. This all started because Spiderman cited 13NoVa and myself as referring to individual cards (Tezzeret in...

It was partially tongue-in-cheek. But I think most players would be opposed to calling Street Wraith anywhere near the best card ever. But I said that because it's in an entirely different playing field than other cards. Its effects within a game are generally mediocre, although it might have...

There are no other cards, period, that cycle for no mana (except when Fluctuator is out).

*Oversoul takes a fried gerbil leg to the eye and howls in pain. He lashes out blindly with his tentacles and manages to miss everyone. But he does hit the supports for the building, compromising them. The cafeteria begins collapsing.*
