This is loosely based on putting out a Basilisk, a Tempting Licid, and making all your opponent's creatures get killed. With assorted other stuff thrown in :) Card availability for improvements is limited from Revised to Stronghold. Creatures 1 Nurturing Licid 2 Verduran Enchantress 2 Wall...

Pretty much the only sensible option that I see that doesn't involve killing is capturing them and putting them on trial. I could go for that, but I want to make sure everyone involved is captured. But personally, I view them as I do murderers, who pretty much lost their claim on humanity when...

Actually, this deck has gone through MANY incarnations of what was Type II from Ice Age to Tempest Block. This was when Tempest Block was the last block legal in Type II; I definately had Land Tax, Ivory Tower, Lightning Bolts, and other "oldies" when they were legal. I think I'll start...

Yeah, I thought I had some Elvish Farmers but they weren't with my Thallids and I couldn't spend too much time working on this. I was thinking of Hermit Druid too (and Thelonite Druid?); they might go in later instead of the Lumberjacks and Tinder Walls (although the Walls might be good for...

I don't think I've actually killed anyone with the Boobytrap (and honestly, I can't remember how I did with the deck period), but hey... any format now, cards only from Revised-Stronghold. Spells 1 Ray of Command 4 Arcane Denial 4 Counterspell 4 Memory Lapse 4 Time Ebb 2 Booby Trap 1 Frantic...

Okay, here's my pride and joy, nurtured for several years, through Ice Age to Stronghold. It got me 4th place in my first tourney (back during Ice Age) and the only reason I think it didn't go further is because I played a side duel while waiting for my next match and my mana was clumped. No...

Okey-dokey, I'm playing Magic tonight for the first time in two years and this is a deck I came up with in 30 minutes. I can't make the changes anyone suggests right now (since I'm at work) but will keep them in mind. This uses cards from sets pre-Mirage (despite that I have through...

'long lasting peace" You mean like the Iraqi no-fly zone, general tensions with China, various peacekeeping missions, that sort of thing? :p

Yeah, but these days it's hard for one group to totally isolate themselves and keep apart from other groups. There's financial issues, logistics, supplies, recruiting people... about the only thing going for it is that since they're "new" and no one else knows about them, they wouldn't be on...

Yeah, that donating gold in small amounts worked. I did 3000 and then 2000, praying for 5 turns, and the Gods were pleased :) I also maxed out my servants and promptly got one killed in a battle so I replaced him :)

Doesn't London already suffer bombs from the IRA? Obviously not of this scale (pretty much nothing is on this scale), but it's not safe everyday like it is usually here, right?

I wasn't just talking about Israel/Palestine, I was also referring to Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, etc. ALL of the Middle East. And although I am not experienced in this matter, from what I've read both sides have tried to give each other something and get peace but the "fanatical"...

I am actually disturbed by thge amount of profanity used in the various threads and though I initially agreed with Zadok that it can be used in this situation, I think people now are using it to express their emotions towards one another and I'm probably going to be editing from now on. It's...

Mostly to Gizmo: Sure it is. And so is Russia, China, England, France, you name it. This is more due to Bush's stance on several world topics than the US as a whole. Hmmm, my response probably would have been "It's about time the US got attacked, maybe they'll actively join in the fight...

You're a bear AND a freak! :D

I was surprised and shocked.

Somehow I doubt that a whole terrorist group devoted and killed itself in the attack...

Well, time will tell if he uses it "responsibly". It was invoked in the Balkan conflict, was it not?

Gizmo: I apologize if I misinterpreted what you were trying to say. I do agree that it was a logical outcome and that it didn't happen sooner (and it almost did in '93) and America was a tad complacent (apparently our airports have the worst security compared to other countries). I think it's...

I have a hard time understanding those (most notably Gizmo and Duel) who advocate doing nothing. As I broke it down earlier, the only way the terrorists will stop is if they change US policy. Is that going to happen? Not likely... like it or not, the US is pretty much the most powerful nation...
