    Is Sligh truly possible in the current Type II environment?

    Gizmo: You said: Not to be technical :p, but aren't you tapping 3, not 2? You only remove one counter by the time it's your upkeep (barring any other interference). Am I missing something? About Cursed Scroll: If it goes into current Standard decks, will it really be as dominating as it was...

    A question of Newbies

    Frankly, Magic WAS meant to be picked up and played with in a day. Of course the designers couldn't see how hard or easy it would be to learn in the first couple sets so they just threw in all the cool stuff. As Magic has grown, I can see why they might decide to take out some stuff and leave...

    Apprentice?

    Don't forget, the CPA has its own chatroom which you can get to by the link on the main page. Or you can just join #type-random from wherever you're from (at least using the Pirchat software, not sure if MIrc gets there).

    Are you sure it's Monty Python's History of the World Part I and not Mel Brooks' History of the World Part I?

    New Deck.....suggestions!!!!

    I guess it could mean "oh well" although when you hear it, it connotates something more like "Good golly" or "Oh, my head" or "I can't believe it".

    experiences

    since I don't know exactly what your combo is, but in general this has come up in the Rules forum about Pariah and Martyrdom (I think) and usually there isn't an infinite loop; the replacement effects only happen once. (Rule 419.6a). Again, without specifics I'm not sure this applies but just...

    Why get rid of banding

    to explain myself through posting... ;) Nyx: I'm not sure if you're misunderstanding me, but I agree with you about the Basilisk's effect triggering due to that blocking rule I cited above. I don't have any confusion about it. :) rkoelsch: We're in agreement about the effect of 6th rules...

    Gaming for the Holidays

    NeuroDeus: I believe it's a tradition celebrating the survival of the Pilgrims through their first winter where over half of them died due to starvation. Largely to the help of Squanto but also other Wampaugh(sp?) Indians, the survivors were able to plant a good spring and summer harvest to...

    Paradoxes

    Maybe it's just my perspective, but if I knew everything, I KNOW everything. So there'd be no doubt. Now, knowing everything and believing in something greater can be inclusive with each other. If, however, when you say "greater", you mean "somebody knowing more", then it just can't happen...

    Why get rid of banding

    That's not what I'm saying, Isty. I'm saying with a certain degree of confidence that I understand banding NOW and can explain it to someone, and that I understood banding in the past (before '99) and could explain it. With a rules reference, of course... Where there is a slight confusion is...

    An idea...

    DUke: This is Standard, right? Otherwise you could use Edicts to get rid of Blastoderms (assuming they're the only thing on the table, obviously).
