    Official Post of the new Millenium

    Orgg, will you be our contact person on this, or will we need Mike's expertise as far as setting up the banner and all? How should we go about setting this up? I was also wondering if there's a way to get some money off by offering to reciprocate with the banners. Maybe these sites wouldn't...

    Let's Give Ed a round of applause

    Mike's the best. Without him this place would be nowhere near as cool. It's truly phenominal the things he's done setting this board up, and the Main Page. He's absolutely amazing! Thanks again, Mike, for all your hard work. :D TomB CPA Member

    What was your first color?

    My 1st starter deck, w/a couple of booster packs (a birthday present), included a Serra Angel, who would always come out and stomp my opponents flat, looking hot while she did it. I think, on some level, I fell in love with her, and I feverishly bought boosters (when I could find them - this was...

    Damage Resolution

    One more time, for old times sake, Spiderman... Combat damage is NOT an ability, like pinging, or mana generation. It is the result of a hand to hand combat between their creature and yours (metaphysically, of course :cool: ), and as such, should follow the laws of physics, if nothing else. I...

    Lions Eye Diamond

    Spiderman, I think you're being way too generous when you say that the Lion's Eye Diamond and Waylay were decent cards to begin with. I've never seen or heard of a tournament level deck that used either one, before the rule changes. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen either one in...

    New Info!! READ!!

    Mike, I've a question about the article submission system. I noticed that the article I submitted no longer had the italics in it, and I was wondering if there's a way to add that, or bold type. How about links? Outside of that, I do think it's a great system, and I should be submitting...

    LIFELINE.casual

    You might want to tighten it up a bit. I notice you've got a lot of 1's and 2's and 3's in your deck, and while they've all got some nice special abilities it's got to be a little frustrating to pull, for example, the Veteran Explorer when you've already got tons of land, and it helps your...

    Gold Cards

    I like gold cards Yellowjacket, and I'd love to see WotC make a few new ones with every new release (or, at least put them into the stand alones), but I think we'd need better dual lands in the Basic set to make using them more viable. It would be fun though. I seriously doubt they'd put gold...

    Lions Eye Diamond

    Why, Spiderman? Why shouldn't the new rules allow old, lame cards no one had any use for to become semi-useful? Do you like getting useless cards when you open booster packs? I sure don't. I work hard for my money, and when I spend it on something that turns out to be useless I feel a little...

    Damage Resolution

    Closer to Portal all the time, eh ferret? To your point, Spiderman, as I said in my earlier post, what about the part where creatures no longer in play still deal combat damage? How exactly does THAT make sense? I contend that if a creature is no longer in play to receive combat damage, then...

    New Info!! READ!!

    I made a few modifications to my submission before I re-submitted it Mike, and when I did it at first I thought you meant for us to use the link on the front page like before. My bad. :( Then I happened across the link you want us to use while cruising the site and I submitted it again there...

    Favorite multiplayer tactics.

    Multi-player is great. I tend more toward mass card advantage cards, like Wrath, Winter Orb, Earthquake. I usually throw in a Greater Realm or 2 for the inevitable red or black player, and because it combos well with the 'quakes. Life gain is important in multi-player too. I usually try to...

    ARTICLES, PEOPLE!!!

    I wrote one last night and tried to send it via the web page but it came back "addressee messed up", or something like that. I thought I remembered something about the bodies@rocketmail address, so I re-mailed it there this afternoon. I hope that was the right one. If not, please let me know the...

    [b]I LOVE APPRINTICE![/B]

    arhar, Welcome aboard! :D Near as I can tell, there is no AI to play against in Apprentice, though you can use it to do the goldfish method by choosing the solitaire mode. Personally I've always thought it was better to practice against real opponents though, if you're serious about getting...

    What should 7th have?

    Aahh, 7th... I agree with you guys. BRING BACK SERRA ANGEL! :D The rest of the list: Sengir Vampire Shivan Dragon Mahatmoti Djinn Savannah Lions The Knights, White and Black I feel that these creatures helped define their respective colors, and that the game isn't as much fun without them. I...

    The Death of Magic

    I'm glad to hear that Magic, especially something like the much maligned Urza's Saga, is doing well, though I think a word of caution is in order. Firstly, I'm surprised/not surprised Saga is still outselling MM (or Mercadian Empires, if you prefer). I realize they needed to slow the game down...

    ARTICLES, PEOPLE!!!

    I just got it last night, Orgg. My ICQ # is 60577320. I'm still not sure how to use it though, and it may take me a while to figure it out, but I'm sure I'll get it eventually. I'd love to play you sometime! TomB CPA Member

    The Death of Magic

    Uh, Ferret? New Coke bombed dude. Nobody liked it, and it made the company bring back the old one. Are you suggesting a new format where you can only use, say, pre-5th ed. cards? That's actually not a bad idea. TomB CPA Member
