lol, Homestar... Hmm... Harder to use Megrim with the restricted list than I realized at first... Still, if a good deck can get Jar out, it will probably win...

Oh, come on guys, I was joking about Shadow. I just had to bring it up... The fact is, there is a Circle of Protection: Shadow, however useless it might be... As far as Shadow in MP, I actually have seen it used... It's true, you can't block while playing it, but neither can opponents, so if...

I have my doubts, but I could be wrong, so I won't try to argue that it won't work. I just want to point out that I've seen people try to build these Fluctuator-Replenish decks before and none of them have ever come close to being good (none of the ones that I've seen, that is). They're...

I know, I was just emphasising how good Lake is, not trying to argue with what you, but just pointing out that FOUR is such a big number... Now copying Lake of the Dead? That's something I'd never thought of. It would be fun. What would you use? Well, it's probably not something that would fit...

With what else? I'm not picturing that actually working. Decklist?

Okay, it's more clear now, Homestar. I wasn't sure exactly what you meant in that first post, but I think we're on the same page here. On the issue, 40% looks like it would be closer to optimal than 30% in this deck, unless a lot of other mana acceleration is in order (Dark Ritual is a definite...

Okay, just so everyone knows, I'd like to think I wouldn't go so far as to say this if I did not know Al0ysius personally and know that he's usually more eloquent or intelligible to say the least... You're not very coherent there, man. Get more sleep or something...

True, I guess I might have sounded kind of cranky or something there...

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...
