So you're saying they banned playing cards? Can't play Egyptian Ratscrew, Rummy, Hearts, or Spades? Hey, I've played Pokeman. Even got a couple pre-cons.

Yes, but the difference is you didn't tag it on at the end of a flame thread and you asked why, not made it a statement or accusation. There are many reasons why someone doesn't reply to a thread and he happened to jump to the worst ones.

Well, CT said two of them are Founders here and I don't recall anyone from here flaming him. Maybe I just can't distinguish a good flame... or it was a subtle one... :)

"Holy trilogy", huh? I can think of Peter Adkinson and Richard Garfield but have no idea who a third might be...

Technically, no, it's of creature type Avatar. But if you were building off of Serra's name... Speaking of which, is this a Standard deck? Otherwise you can maybe continue building off of Serra's name by using Serra's Aviary and Serra's Bestiary...

Well, technically you can't cast ANY spells in between your opponent's turn and your turn (a literal interpretation of "before my untap step") but if you mean during the End Phase of your opponent's turn, No, you cannot cast Animate Land then and have it "carry over" to your turn.

Word up, CT. Wandering off-topic... You got flamed on the Dojo boards? I don't remember that... I must be getting old :)

Istanbul: You sure the card game came out before the TV show? Because I seem to remember that Pokemon was first a TV show in Japan and they wanted to bring it over here but were afraid of how it would be receivedm so they "softened" up the audience by putting out the video games (Red and Blue)...

Welcome aboard!

Let me be the first to welcome you to the CPA!

Welcome! As to your questions: 1) No. 2) I think Ed answered it after your reply thing. 3) You might want to re-post the question in General, CPA Issues, or CPA Voting (pick one!) to get more of a response.

The very next topic... I guess my favorite mechanics are CIP, flanking, and phasing. Although you should probably define "mechanics", since some are actually cycles or types of cards. For instance, I wouldn't consider Glyphs, Man-Lands, Charms, or Sac-lands as mechanics. And don't forget...

TomB: Is this question about BLOCKS (Ice Age onward) or sets (Legends and Beta)? I thought it was clear from your question but two people answered by sets. Blocks I would say Mirage/Visions/Weatherlight. I like the mechanics of flanking and phasing and the introduction of CIP creatures. Sets...

Wow! Such virulence... I would just like to add my observation that if Magic has really been doing all that well when Pokeman came out, there'd be hardly any need for stores to add it to its inventory. Even if they wanted to "jump on the new cashcow bandwagon", if Magic was still doing well...

Chiming in here: I also agree with Gizmo. Playing better players just forces you to think more and get better. Zadok: You should put that in the Voting Forum: "What type of player do you think you are according to this?" :) (Optimistically I'd like to think of myself as Good Player w/o Spark...

Ed: Sorry to bring this up but it's been awhile and there hasn't been a change to it so... Is it possible to add a "date/time last visited" to the reply window on the main page so it displays all the replies since my last visit? The reason I ask is because I cannot get to the articles' pages...

Ah, I gotcha, FadingInsomniac!

An Ice Age one might be easier to get than an Alpha/Beta/Unlimited. Some current cards are probably worth it in a trade. <speaking from NO experience whatsoever :)>

Seeker: I also voted (I think) to slow down the sets and in fact of the opinion that they should do away with stand-alones altogether and just make expansions for the "basic" set like it was before Ice Age. Even then I would still advocate Restriction for Banning because (I reiterate) no one's...

Yeah, I played Wyvern too and even got my wife into it! We bought a whole lot when it started to go out of print and prices declined... now we don't play as much anymore. :(
