How likely are you to play Arcbound?

[train]

Arcbound isn't so strong in 2 - it just doesn't have all the necessary speed...

and is extremely susceptible unless they all become indestructible...

by the way - all indestructible means - is that they should have left bury in the game...

SeFRo: You know it's Rooser, not Rooster. No relation to the hen family (as far as I know )

train: Isn't "bury" still a destroy effect, you just can't regenerate it? If so, that wouldn't help indestructible...

Spidey~ No, there's a T there. Invisible, but I am able to see it with the powers I gained while visiting the future.

train~ Spidey's right that bury is now just destroy w/o regen. If it was still around as a keyword, though, I'll bet you a big pitcher of poisoned Kool-Aide that it would be right there on the reminder text of things that cannot kill indestructible cards.

 

[Spiderman]

Are you sure those are "powers" or delusions?

 

[train]

I remember bury before they defined it as "destroy" without regeneration...

Simply put it was - the creature is placed in the graveyard and can't be regenerated...

It was similar to sacrifice - but sacrifice had speed/cost tied into it...

so after the rules clarifications I guess bury wouldn't work - but the old way it would... I think...

 

[Spiderman]

Well, I'm looking at Crystalkeep's Limited spoiler text for Terror (so it'd be the earliest wording) and it says

Destroy's target creature without possibility of regeneration. Does not affect black creatures and artifact creatures.

Since it says "destroy", I'm thinking it's still not going to work with indestructible permanents...

 

[train]

I'll concede this one... as it was just an explanation to me when judging...

"But bury sounds cooler..."

 

[Spiderman]

I agree about "bury". Don't know why they felt the need to get rid of it...

 

[Notepad]

I think it was lost in order to give the game a more "family friendly" feeling. That, and to keep the Nutso-Super-Christians (tm) off WotC's back. If they flamed Pokemon for Psyduck using "an evil HEADACHE curse from SATAN!!!" then I'm sure they caught a lot of flak on Magic for "ACTUALLY BURYING MONSTERS IN A GRAVEYARD!!!"

Ah, semantics...

 

[MagicMan]

Well, let's see. Seeing I packed it when the set first came out and then traded it away thinking it was junk, I have no chance of playing it as I own none of them right now...But my friend has 6 of them...*goes to his friends' house with a crowbar in hand...hehehehehe

Ah, bummer man! May luck smile upon you again when opening packs. Or, when going to assault your buddy!
