    Flashback & Threshhold - Do these make you nervous too?

    (I'm getting more involved in Magic as it looks like maybe, just maybe, a friend is getting back in and we might be able to play some) Welp, looks like Isty is alone in this so far in that everyone else is saying "wait and see". Going by past history of WOTC, there might be a couple cards that...

    Odyssey cards

    That's what I'm thinking. I mean, this is only 2 cards in a full standalone set. There's probably CIP effects for cards that remove cards from the graveyard, maybe remove cards as an ACC or something...

    Magic booklets

    (of course, just now after reading this for awhile) When you say "precons for Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited", do you mean the Starter decks and the rule booklets that came in them? 'Cause when I see "precons", I think of the "named" decks that WOTC started coming out with in Tempest (in sets of 4...

    Beat a newbie down!

    Actually, although the Battle Forum can be said that it's whatever you want it to be, I think one of the original purposes was to have fun in goofy ways. theorgg's breechcloth and the more recent BattleTech battle are pretty good examples; no one makes themselves out to be all-powerful and they...

    The Road to Tourneyland: IBC PTQ in the 'Burgh

    Hmmm, maybe you can be a "B" hero (like that movie a couple years back, something Men). You finally got Apprentice? Cool... my time is still not good to play though, I'll have to let you know.

    Type II circa 1996: Quake and Surge

    From Deep Magic by Charles Wolfe and George Baxter, 1996, pp 135-137. Changes to the Banned and Restricted Lists have been made since then. "The Quake and Surge is a fun and powerful deck. The deck has a number of independent combinational factors. The Power Surge can act as a major source...

    Type 1 circa 1996: House of Pain

    From Deep Magic by Charles Wolfe and George Baxter, 1996, pp 111-113 Changes to the Banned and Restricted List have been made since then. "The House of Pain upon first glance may seem to most players just another Djinn deck when in reality it is a roads to victory deck. The deck is loaded...

    New Game! Rando's Internet Scavenger Hunt!

    Anyone interested in some decks?

    Well, I can't very well list the theory in the book, that's what getting the book is for :) Besides, since it's 1996, a lot of it is pretty well known anyway (although it would help beginners and stuff). Turtlewax Joe: It's a-coming...

    Type 1 circa 1996: Granville's Explosion Deck

    This is taken from Deep Magic by Charles Wolfe and George Baxter, 1996, pp 109-111. Changes in the Banned/Restricted List have been made since then so if you want to use this as a basis, keep that in mind. "Granville Wright made perhaps the fastest and most devastating deck ever seen when he...

    Gaming

    If I ever get my act together and finish painting my dwarf army and stuff (it's been base coated white for about 6 years now :D ), I think I would do a Lizardman army. I've never played against or with one, but I like non-human races and those seem the most interesting. Of course, I'd probably...

    Anyone interested in some decks?

    I agree, back when Magic was taking off with the Pro Tour and all, George Baxter with his books got things going for a lot of people (and his decks weren't that bad either). It's surprising that there hasn't been any new books written about strategy lately/recently.... I also have Mastering...
