I don't know enough of today's environment to definitively say, but the optimist in me says "no" to "barely" :) It might make it slightly easier to build a deck with the cards that obviously work well together, but on the other hand it's still a challenge to build a deck NOT using those cards...

His name's Zaiden. Not sure what he'd be called on the forums, probably Baby/Kid #2 :)

Okay, I caught up with all of the past articles. And I have to say that I admire Mark for his convictions and his reasonings. Simply put, which I think a lot of people are missing (and as he said may have been his fault the first time around, but not in subsequent articles), is that the ballot...

Thanks everyone! Heh, probably in about 6 or 7 years :)

It's 'cause we basically have the same people around from 2002, with a handful of new ones.

Ooo, I actually forgot I was off for two weeks and there were two weeks of articles at magicthegathering to read. Oops. I'll get to it. Thanks.

My point wasn't that the number of "chaff" cards (which I agree is subjective) correlates to the amount of "forced synergy" in an expansion, but rather expansion/card creating has become more "polished" or "advanced" since back in the day that things change. Number of perceived "chaff" cards...
