A carry over from the Dojo, there was an article by Sean McKeon (sp?) about how Dark Ritual is fueling a lot of powerful decks lately and perhaps it should be banned. This raised a more interesting discussion in the forums, one that actually is coherent. Some are agreeing with McKeon, most are...

Chaos: I've got and read all five books to Bio. Rather interesting... I can't tell if it mirrors his actually political and non on life and issues... such as legalizing the drug trade.

Oops, I didn't even know that was an icon! I only use :) mostly anyway... :)

Personally, I don't care if any of those are reprinted or not, because I have all of them. In terms of new players getting a chance at them, will they play with them? I mean, honestly, in the tourney format where they could have been used (Extended), I don't think any of those cards were used...

Duel: Yeah, Eddings is the guy! What other series are you talking about? I liked the Dragonlance but only the first trilogy. In fact, my first ever BBS handle was Tasslehoff Burrfoot (in the mid '80s). Anybody like Xanth series? Or Piers Anthony in general? I liked maybe the first 5 books...

1) N. Probably the last time was during Ice Age. 2) Honestly can't remember in a tourney. Playing among friends? N. 3) Probably S. If it's really obvious that I lost to no/1 land or all land then I chalk it up to me playing the part of a goldfish. 4) I guess AA 5) N 6) A 7) AN. Only...

I'm not sure if people realized that they were broken back then, but I would definately say Black Vise and Sol Rings were must haves. It wasn't uncommon to get around two Vises out with help from either the Ring or Dark Ritual, and later the Tinder Wall from Ice Age. Demonic Tutor was pretty...

Exactly. Which is why channel was finally banned. People seemed to push for the Power Nine however, not other "minor" banned cards. Making lightning bolt a rare! Sounds good to me... since I've got like 20 when they were common :)

I love the Conan books. Magician: Apprentice, Magician: Master, SilverThorn, and something at Sethanon by someone who I can't remember right now were pretty good (lotta help, I know :)) Probably the best series in an original setting are the ones with Belgarath and Polgara (man, I am drawing...

Uhhh.. how? :)

I started Magic in the fall of '94, when the Dark was just going out of print and Revised was the basic set. I would say it was better in that during that time, there were no combos or cards that could kill your opponent in one turn. The closest was Black Vise so usually you had to empty your...

Boy, kinda late to jump in the argument here... The most likely reason you wouldn't beat your opponent every time is because you're probably not going first. The way I see it, the main reason why the Power 9 has not been reprinted is because they're unbalancing because they SPEED up the game...

I've only read one, Whispering Woods I think, but wasn't "grabbed" by it. It was okay, but something I wouldn't buy. I'm not sure why though... <shrug>.

I think the difference between Long and those you named is that Long is a "bad boy" while playing the game while the others are noted for their "off-field" antics. Have no idea about Strawberry. Rocker made comments in an interview. He didn't (I don't think) doctor his baseball during pitched...

Zadok: Your point is the point Rob Dougherty was making, but it seemed that since Long's deck didn't seem to be "stacked" in the "usual" ways (all or non-land clumps), the judges didn't think that his shuffling technique was cheating after all. Which seems to lead that awareness needs to be...

After posting a message and having the screen say "Thanks for posting, in a few minutes you'll be taken back to the forums", I got a "page cannot load" message or something like that. I don't know if that's what you're looking for either. (I guess this was around 7-7:30 am EST)

I'm of two opposing thoughts. One, I would also like to open an own one of the Power Nine. However, two, to be quite honest, if you snoozed, you losed (had to make it rhyme). If you really want them that bad without paying the wazoo, trade for them. Also, according to naysayers everywhere...

Well, I don't know if you all really care about this, but any thoughts on Mike Long's personal shuffling techniques? I only got tantalizing references to it from Dave Price and another Pro report yesterday and then this morning on the Dojo, Robert Dougherty explained what had happened (from his...

Thank you!

Well, I agree with pretty much everything Ferret's saying except: 3) Personally, I don't need to see more of the Pro Tour. But I certainly understand more for those who do. 5) I agree with Leshrac in that someone needs to take more of an interest in the forums and "moderate" them. However...
