You have to sacrifice KJ tokens at EoT, don't you?

Well yeah, but the token would be in play for the attack phase and then the snakeform wears off.

Or, he could snakeform the attacking archon, and then block with a nonflying creature and kill it.

He had moment's peace, he could have prevented all combat damage.

Not a real rules situation, but something I noticed. I was busy with Magic Set Editor, trying to come up with some nifty Planeswalkers that I can print out using pictures of my friends (its a Chirstmas thing I'm planning) and I cam up with this guy...

Avram the Inevitible
Planeswalker- Avram
+3: End the turn, Skip the draw step of your next turn. If a creature you control attacked this turn, skip you untap step as well.
-2: Search your library for a permanent card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your library.
-15: You win the game.
//1//

I showed it to a friend of mine and he promptly stated, "There is no such thing as a permanent card."

I re-read the rules on permanents and he was right, permanents were defined as something in play... but it made sense to me that a permanent card was a card that could come into play as a permanent.

So then they print Wargate .

I guess it did make sense after all.
When playing Commander, before you add a card to your deck, you have to ask yourself:
"Is this card better than Rings ?"
If you play commander and don't have your deck[s] in the Decklist Compendium, maybe you should. Or if you're new or looking into the format, the compendium has some good advice for beginners as well as decklists.

We should all have one of these playable from our sideboards

there is nothing "epic" about a turn one victory.  ever.

or really any magic game, for that matter.



So this one time, I wanted to play a game of Magic with my friend, but he was in another country and neither of us had Magic Online. I hitchhiked my way to the coast, barely fending off hungry wildlife when I couldn't get a ride, nearly dying of thirst crossing deserts, and posoning myself half to death foraging for food. At one point, I was taken hostage by a group of kidnappers, only managing to escape after a week of careful planning thanks to careful application of a rusty spoon.

Once I reached the coast, I had no money to buy a ticket across the ocean, so I built a boat using my own two hands, and spent months sailing across the waves, nearly losing my deck as I swam to the shore of a desert island in a storm after being capsized by an enormous wave. Nearly delusional after so long with no human contact (the notches I cut in the single tree to tell time had long since felled the thing) I was eventually rescued by a passing ship, where I was taken aboard as a crew member.

We sailed around the world, seeing many exotic places and having great adventures, before we finally arrived at my friend's country.  Once more I stumbled across a desolate landscape, riding on train or car when I could, and going on foot when I could not. Eventually, weary to the bone, seven years after I started my journey, I arrived at my friend's house, clutching my well-worn and weathered deck to my chest. We shuffled up our decks, I won the roll. Gleefully, I laid down my cards.

Black Lotus . My friend looked quizzically at me, wondering what I was about to do. After so long, he no longer knew what deck I had brought with me to this game.

Flash . A knowing smile appears on my friend's face as the knowledge slowly returns to him.

Protean Hulk .

My friend extends his hand, knowing the game is over before it even started. And finally, after so many trials, the sweet taste of victory is mine.

Drive sales of what? Non-Jace, non-Mystic cards? I'm pretty sure people already own more than eight Magic cards. If you don't, I feel for you. Maybe you can trade those Stoneforge Mystics, which are still quite valuable, for some.
