    'T1' Commons tournament - Red Sligh

    I think you should have kept the deck and report in unless that phrase "cheated like Mike Long on acid" was also added after the editing :) Anyway, regarding CasualOblivion, I think tourney reports are fine here. I personally like seeing how some ideas turn out and while the name of the site...

    My version of a "fixed' dual land

    I was just thinking of thinning out cards to begin with, I wasn't trying to do a direct comparison :) But though I'm not familiar with the specific deck you mention, I honestly can't see a downside to the card. In your example, you're getting rid of 4 lands from your deck in what probably...

    Stupid CPA extinction poll

    Wow, I think SeFRo pretty much nailed it down. From what I understand, there aren't a lot of truely "casual" sites and I'm always wondering why our active membership is so low. I mean, Anthony Alongi writes a column for WOTC that covers a lot of MP; do the majority of casual players read and...

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

    I think it's a good idea. Are you volunteering to design the banners? Killer Jow seemed to think you were but after reading your post., I'm not so sure...

    Does anyone even buy the basic sets anymore

    C'mon, you gotta admit that Demonic Tutor is one of the strongest cards in the game, even if it doesn't kill on its own. 2cc to get ANY card in your library? I liked the alternate artwork as well but that it should also go up to uncommons (heck, why not rares too?) Not sure what the reasoning...

    Official Mirrodin Hate Topic

    I thought the Mirrodin block was great and just wished that I had more time to devote and play Magic so I could have explored it more. As it was, one guy in our group tried an Affinity deck but pretty much immediately drew the "wrath" of two other players when he played a Ravager so it wasn't...

    definition of casual

    I mostly agree with what you're saying except I'd mention that your example of could also be fine (and in the spirit of "how you play the game") if your friends all decided to whip out their "no mercy" decks, either by design or accident. If there's a house rule against such, then yeah, it's...

    Blue is bad in multiplayer

    Well, blue was pretty strong back then. I think the game and decks have "evolved" so that that kind of thing probably can't happen now though :)

    Ooo, me too, me too! (I agree with you all the time Chaos Turtle ;) )

    Stupid CPA extinction poll

    Ferret: I know, I agree with you. This has that "coffeehouse" feel and is undoubtable one of the draws for the few that come here and if you're not looking for tourney advice all the time. And I feel sort of hypocritical in that I'm kinda advocating for change (at least I feel like I am) but I...

    Does anyone even buy the basic sets anymore

    Yeah, I think that was around the last time where they did U1, U3, etc. for the rarities (maybe also for Chronicles, but it was still around the same time). Even if U1 is supposed to be the "rare" slot...

    Blue is bad in multiplayer

    Mikeymike: Dude, hope you're back for while :) Ferret: Ugh, that's even worse playing with proxies, even for a "friendly" game (which if you're not playing with friends is not so friendly). You should have just proxied up a deck then :)

    Timster = Houts

    Actually, there is one thread in the General forum where he has posted as of yesterday... "Is this Cheating".

    Stupid CPA extinction poll

    It's kind of a catch-22. We're not well-known because we don't do anything to make ourselves well-known. orgg's interviews with Richard Garfield and Mark Rosewater back in the first year made a bit of a splash (I think) but no one really stayed. Same thing with MTGNews a bit after; we got a...

    My version of a "fixed' dual land

    I don't know, I think thinning out your library is actually a bonus, not a penalty. That's why Thawing Glaciers or Land Tax is so strong. But I'm not sure how to fix it...

    D&D: Palace of the Silver Princess

    With varying war cries, you rush to attack. Devin slices at the skeleton to the left of the lever and succeeds in cutting off a hand, but Cugel follows up with stroke of his sword that decapitates it. The skeleton collapses in a jumble of bones. Rondo roars a mighty dwarven oath and with one...

    Stupid CPA extinction poll

    My bad. I thought I didn't put an "L" in it when I first posted your article on the front page but I guess I mixed it around. And your articles are definitely welcome :) As far as I know, there aren't any active plans to make the site more known via search engines or whatever. Just by people...
