Ed, speaking to your question at the top of this thread, put me down for a vote in favor of a little color on the forums. I think that the colored lettering would have more impact then, too. Oh the web site issue, I just wish it wasn't taking so long. I agree with the Baron in that the momentum...

I agree. Wow. I guess that's one way to keep people buying/using Yawgmoth's Bargain. That oughta' keep Saga selling for a while. A few more of the cards are kinda' cool though. As you said, Ferret, Energy Flux being reprinted is a good thing, what with all the Mono-Brown decks running around...

Ed, the signature thing didn't work. Uh oh. Hey, I also noticed when I went back to verify the editing I did to my profile that only the first signature line was displayed. The second line was gone. Is that what you meant when you said we can't insert anything below the signature? TomB CPA...

Ed, I guess I misunderstood your post. I didn't realize you were trying to say this is what the card SHOULD have been. It's a good idea though. And thank you for your efforts on the BB. It's really looking great these days, and I, for one, really appreciate all your hard work. And I will use...

Ed, they changed Pangosaur on us again. Now it's a green creature, and it's drawback is activated on a land entering play, not a creature. I think you're right, by the way. In an extremely limited way it sort of works w/Sneak Attack, but there are better choices to Sneak, I think. And Ferret...

That was exactly my thought when I saw it, Ed. This card will rock in a control deck packing Masticores. Is this another one of those cards that makes us say "What the hell is WotC thinking?" How long do you guys give it for WotC to ban Masticore? I think it'll last 'til January, and no later...

Getting back to the main thread, I can see carrying 1 or 2 maindeck Bribery in a certain type of <font color="blue">Blue</font> deck. If your local metagame involves creatures, especially big ones that take a while to hit the table, cards like this would be excellent. Of course, I liked...

Hey, you guys see the story on Hasbro trying to acquire WotC? Interesting, huh? Any comments? TomB CPA Member "I do not teach. I simply reveal." -Daudi, Femeref tutor

Interesting you said that, Baron. I mean the part about the sets they pulled not being the source of the broken-ness that is/was Extended. You're right. It's the new sets over the past year or 2 that screwed up Extended, not the old stuff. And I agree with your viewpoint about Extended being...

As I mentioned on another thread, I've played a few other CCG's besides Magic, like Shadowfist (it's coming back!), Star Wars, and Battletech. Currently, my boys and I are getting into Pokemon. I've always enjoyed video games, though I'm not really up on the newer ones. We stopped buying...

Dune Echo, I played in a few 1.5 tourneys in the old days (when people were actually interested in playing 1.5) and I'll guarantee you that ALL the card sets were legal. Mana Drain was a prominent feature in my Howling/Orb/Vise deck, for example. If you don't believe me, check it out with WotC...

Ferret, Type 1.5 is just like Type 1, except they ban all the cards from Type 1 that are restricted or banned. In other words, it's Type 1 without the P9, or any of the other neat things restricted in Type 1, like Balance. Legends have always been welcome in 1.5, just not Legend cards on the...

Oh my. I forgot about the Howling Mine/Winter Orb decks. We won't need to worry about Black Vise, as it is restricted in Type 1 and banned in 1.5, but without ANY decent artifact mana in 1.5, and Underworld Dreams (God, is this card going to have a renaissance if anybody starts playing 1.5...

Of course some of us have "Types" when we play, Ferret. Not all players who identify themselves as casual play with decks containing every card they own. Some of us like going to store tournaments to compete "casually", and others of us just like meeting new people to play with at events like...

Waubers, I hate to disagree with you, but 1.5 will, in my opinion, be dominated by Necro decks featuring 4 Ivory Towers and 4 Underworld Dreams. Just imagine how tough that will be to play against. And just as we knew when this Alliance was formed, the DCI and WotC do watch what the pros say...

Hey guys, check out the new restricted and banned list, here at: http://www.wizards.com/sideboard/article.asp?sb19990901a I've only taken a quick look at it, but 2 things jumped out at me right away. First thing is the things banned and unbanned from 1.5 as a result of the Type 1 changes. You...

I think you're probably right, Ferret, about not expanding our CCG coverage just yet. To be blunt, the other CCG's I mentioned have neither the following nor the issues that Magic has right now. In fact, I was more or less wondering if there might be room for them somewhere on the website as a...

Waubers, I think you are right that a re-issuing of the P9 would result in their losing some of their resale value, but the more I think about it the more I wonder if it really matters. Not all that many people are currently interested in playing Type 1 anyway. I know I almost always have...

Now for the second half of my reply... ...As far as I'm concerned, Unlimited means without limit. To me, that means we'll keep printing 'em as long as you guys keep buying 'em! Because of that, I thought the Reserved list should never have been issued. Since it has, Wotc could get around it by...

Nekrataal, I think you're right on track with what you said about WotC and the future with Moxes, et al., except for the part about the older cards retaining full value. Ask anyone who's been in the game a while about their Legend Spirit Link's, or their Killer Bees and Carrion Ants, and you'll...
