    Here's yet another one...

    I think the point is to make sure that it can't make a turn 1 or 2 kill in Type 1. Obviously this is not a real card and I don't know how serious you want to make it, but if you can make a deck with this that consistently kills in turn 1 or two, then it's a problem. I'm not saying that you can...

    Goblin Ecko

    Well, WOTC made superior version of Gray Ogre with Granite Gargoyle (but took it out because it was "too strong" for the cc, I think) and later did it with that red flanking dude from Mirage so people would use a 3cc, so it depends what you're comparing it against (I didn't quite understand CE's...

    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...

    (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...

    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...
