Yeah, that's why generally, putting cards on someone's library is a good piece of removal (see my current Morningtide game with Mooseman). It also makes you think whether you want to play/discard a draw effect card before you know if you need it, rather than playing it right away because you know you get a draw effect.

In essence, it's just one of those quirks about Mindmaster, like reveal hand cards or Black Vise or whatever. :)
Uh, how does that work? I mean, a black vice would be like an automatic win (unless I'm mistaking it for iron maiden again)

Well, a couple of times the person who played it won (in two turns), and another time, someone dropped a Mox and a Mt and Shattered it so the game took longer.

Yep, I couldn't stop the Pixies or the Mechanic or the Flux :) Good game!

My hand was:

Artifact Possession
Artifact Blast
Yotian Soldier
2 Phyrexian Gremlins
Dragon Engine
Battering Ram
Transmute Artifact
Ashnod's Battle Gear
Urza's Tower
Haunting Wind

Onto Legends?

The amulet was insanely helpful...

The Mechanix made the atog just a threat...

My artifacts blew (you saw all of 'em) chunks other than the Amulet.

My other cards:

Power Artifact - thought about putting in on the amulet - otherwise useless
Urza's Tower - useless
Crumble - my hole card for if you dropped a shapeshifter or the like...
Drafna's Restoration - useless
Reverse Polarity - could have been useful
Urza's Power Plant - useless

I figured you had more artifacts - which you did.

Incidently - I could have played the two urza's lands after 10 basics, right?

On to Legends... That could be interesting... I've never played with most of 'em... only had a pack or two of Italian legends - with no real bombs... Oh, and the reprinted ones in chronicles etc...

Yep, you could have played the Urza's lands at any time (instead of a basic land play) during your turns, but you still get up to 10 basic lands so you could have had 12 lands total after 12 turns.

I've played a couple of Legends now... not a lot of removal, so it's usually who has the better creatures :)
