    Lions Eye Diamond

    Perhaps I am being generous. :). And I certainly didn't mean to imply or say that *I* thought they were powerhouses. However, people should emulate High Tide and see how cards could interact in different ways with 6th rules. For instance, Power Surge might be more viable because you have...

    Damage Resolution

    Righty-ho, TomB. :) K1: I remember arguing more with Scurry13 than anyone else... but you're right, these issues have all been hashed over again and again.

    Gold Cards

    I like gold cards but find them hard to play if they're more than two colors. I'd have to say that Nicol Bolas is very impressive, though perhaps not the best. At least, I like his abilities of all the Elder Dragons. Him and Nebucazzer (sp?).

    Lions Eye Diamond

    Hey, I have nothing against rules making old cards great. I have nothing against new sets making old cards great (see High Tide). However, I have a problem with rules CHANGING the way the card was originally supposed to work (maybe for the better, maybe for the worse) and then people yelling...

    Damage Resolution

    I will concede that having creatures removed from combat deal damage does NOT make sense. However, I can understand WOTC trying to make it consistent (when the stacking damage step has been reached, all damage is stacked). Wait.... now that I think about it, it's kind of like removing the...

    finally here

    Well, to tell the truth, a lot of it is chaff anyway. I read most everything except DeckBuilding: Extended and Type II and the only areas that are remotely interesting are the occasional Issues and Rants, some Rules and Regulations (those that can't be looked up in the rulebook), and some...

    What was your first color?

    I'll have to say mine was red just because it's my favorite color. But I didn't have any burn except for a fireball so I used a lot of creatures: Bird maiden, Dragon Whelp, Rukh Egg, Shivan Dragon, Gray Ogre, etc.

    Damage Resolution

    I'll have to disagree here. I like the way combat is handled now and I don't think it's unbalanced. Technically, using Limner's rationale, I could Giant Growth the Ogre ANYTIME before the club actually hits the elf. I also don't think that using the Icy to tap a blocker is THAT big of a loss...

    WotC Buys SW licence, what do you think about it?

    I'm not sure how to post an opinion on this... I don't play the SW roleplaying or card games so I don't know how true they are to the movies. I have read some books and have liked them. On the other hand, what's wrong with a company buying another company? Aside from the argument that the...

    rally for paralyze?

    Can someone refresh my memory on how Paralyze changed? Thanks.

    Expansion

    I agree. Keep it Magic for now.

    4+Plague Rats?

    Hope it's not too late to vote! :) I would say that Plague Rats were an unfortunate casualty to the evolving state of Magic, where in the beginning it WAS okay to have any number of cards in a deck until degeneracy reared its ugly head. SO although a Plague Rat deck in itself would probably...

    why tourny magic sucks right now

    It seems there was two different issues in your original post, andrew. Having your best playtest deck getting beat by Stompy and Sneak Attack and Mono control is different from being beat by a 2nd turn combo. To the first I'd have to say you need to test your deck against the archetypes of all...

    Lions Eye Diamond

    I haven't actually played with Lion's Eye so I have no idea if it was good before OR after the errata but... people seem to get confused about the statement that 6th would change strategies and make players look at cards in a new light. I think this was meant to use cards differently within...

    Magic only, or other CCG's as well

    Depending on what the members play, if there's a big enough voice other CCG's could be added. However, this does seem to have been started as a primarily Magic board so perhaps it should stick to that. On a related note, what about hints/help for computer games? Would that be going beyond the...

    Waylay Errata

    Well, a bit late but since I just got here I might as well vote on this and the other issues: As the original question goes at the beginning of the thread, repeal the errata. BUT! Still change it so it's more in line with what it did before (changing the "At end of turn" to "until end of...

    finally here

    Well, I'm finally here. For those who don't know me, I originated from the Dojo. Nice looking layout here, the orange makes it look Halloween-ish :). Ferret, you were complaining about the new messages on the Dojo when it switched formats? There's 1500 alone in the forum on top of this one...
