    Abuse of Ninja

    I thought the idea behind "abusing" a concept was to "break" it, like make some infinite combo where you kill in one turn once the pieces are in place. If that's the case, using Exalted Angel (or Grinning Demon) as a counterpoint to Gizmo's statement doesn't really bear a lot of weight...

    Getting The Word Out (ie: death of CPA rumors)

    Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to do 1 and automate 2 & 3 like the front page replies are currently done. I can manually create a thread and add the line at the end of the article and manually move people's replies to the thread if they inadvertently use the front page reply system. You...

    Old cards: Powerful, or Broken?

    One, I don't think these are "staples". Yeah, most have been around since the first sets, but the first sets were also the "exploratory" phase of Magic with what turned out to be an unrealistic vision of the game (everyone only having and playing a max cardpool of about two starters), not a...

    BOK cycle of cards

    Huh, never really thought about the ability in the "Offering" being specific to a color. I just looked at the associated cards Patron of <creature type> and thought it fit in. Plus, I think the Patron's aren't uniform in p/t or cc so I thought they did some balancing to get it there. I do...

    BOK cycle of cards

    I was going through the spoiler and noticed there's a cycle of cards that have "<creature type> Offering (You may play this card any time you could play an instant by sacrificing a <creature type> and paying the difference in mana costs between this and the sacrificed <creature type>. Mana cost...

    Kokusho, the Evening Star

    Yeah, I know. I'd only play it once. Fortunately, I have a reputation of "getting confused" with my own Sneak Deck, so even though they know it's my Sneak deck, they leave me alone at first. I can't remember what I have for support, it's been so long since I've played it. I think either...

    Kokusho, the Evening Star

    Kokusho, the Evening Star Anyone thought about pairing this with Sneak Attack (or another easy way to get him out)? He looks like he can clean house easy in an MP game if you can recur him continually in the same turn (saccing is no problem, Goblin Bombardment or Altar of Dementia are already...

    Getting The Word Out (ie: death of CPA rumors)

    Limited: Yeah, it's just that I figured Monday/Thursday were good days to break up the week, rather than Monday/Wednesday (and I'm not here all the time on Friday). Otherwise I would spread them out more. Notepad: Actually, I meant to do that but forgot the thread's title... doh! I'll go back...

    Spidey vs Train CHK Draft

    I'll take Hankyu.

    Getting The Word Out (ie: death of CPA rumors)

    It does? I don't get it... I'll edit it to set it more apart. I don't like having two "updates" for the front page for the same day though, I personally think it looks cluttered and messy.

    Here we go Steel - ers, here we go!

    But from what I understand, the interesting thing about the Patriots is that aside from the high profile position of QB and some others, this team and the ones that won the first two are not the same really. They keep winning with different guys on the field... with the other guys unavailable...

    Betrayers...Chisei, Heart of Oceans

    Wow, great ideas. What about Unstable Mutation too? I was initially thinking of black cards that gave -1/-1 counters but then thought of an "in-color" card...

    Getting The Word Out (ie: death of CPA rumors)

    yeah, it's Ed Sullivan, one of the Founders. He checks in here and there and uploads files for me (like Notepad's comics, back in the day). I don't think there's currently an easy way to bypass the front page reply system. You'd have to go into the page design of the front page articles and...

    Old cards: Powerful, or Broken?

    Totally agree with Gizmo's analysis and what everyone said after. As an addendum to Ferret's 3 for 1 notes, it's interesting that it took a while for Bolt and Dark Ritual to be considered too strong (and Ritual longer than Bolt). I think Giant Growth was finally deemed too strong too unless it...

    Official Mirrodin Hate Topic

    Ah. Well, affinity's gotta do something... so if you take away the artifact lands, it won't be as dominant, but can still compete?

    Amazing Race

    Well, I think it's more facing reality. I think she feels she's pulling the team and if everything is "happy", things would go smoother, but I bet once the show is over (or right now, as it is), she's not with him...

    Amazing Race

    Well, we actually got to watch the tape last night, but to be honest, not a lot to say. Adam is still coming off as a "baby", especially during the train scene. I'm a bit confused as to why he started blaming Rebecca for the delay when up to then, it didn't really look like anyone's fault...
