Yes, yes you did.

Ransac, cpa trash man

...Yes you did. But don't be all too surprised. Another guy from MTGnews invented Cycling...and I invented Echo. Of course, like Storm, they were not actually called "Cycling" or "Echo."

Interesting... it's possible, since each block is two years in development...

 

[EricBess]

Hehe. Very nice.

I know, lets up the CC to 2R, lower it to 1 plus the number of ANY spell played this turn, and make it so you can distribute it among any number of targets. Hey, while we're at it, let's make it so each point has to be countered/redirected independantly of all other points of damage. COOL!!!

It wouldn't shock me if someone from WotC is constantly watching our site ready to steal (I mean BORROW) our ideas and use them in their sets...

"still, a little credit would be nice..."

 

[Reverend Love]

....Well maybe they'll steal my management idea and fire their god awful art director under who’s reign this unholy layout came to be.

 

[Shiro, Time Devourer]

I think I invented Bane of the Living (Biohazard's OD)... and led WOTC to thinking about creature types.

...by accident, of course.

 

[Nightstalkers]

and we're creating this:

Roll a 6 sided die: deal damage equal to the die roll...


darn! already done

I doubt WOTC is monitoring this site SOLELY to steal/borrow ideas - I'm sure out of the many people working there, the same type of idea springs forth (just like the same deck ideas popping up in different parts of the world).

 

[Istanbul]

Well...you're welcome anyhow.

(Though I never would have made Mind's Desire. Remind me to write that article on alternate casting cost spells sometime.)
