In case people are wondering the RW cyling deck is just a Rift deck. It's not supposed to have Astral Slide in it at all, they just screwed up when describing the deck.
What would Slide even do in that deck? Aside from Silver Knight, the creatures it runs are an already hard-to-kill non-tapper, a resuable cycler that's not often used as an actual creature, and a bunch of tokens; nothing that has any significant synergy with Slide. Despite all the white and all the cycling, Slide would be pretty marginal in this deck.

Stonework Puma - Zendikar common. Stonework Puma might look like "another vanilla Gray Ogre", but its ability is hidden in the creture types. In the right deck, a vanilla Ally can cause all sorts of havoc!
>_>. Come to think of it, should "ally" be capitalized?
Trailblazer's Boots: I'm not a big fan of un-italisicing text in a sentence of italics, to show emphasis. It's always looked weird to me. \:>
Especially when the rule of thumb is italicised text is irelevant. So technically one could read the card as saying "Equipped creature has nonbasic landwalk. Equip {2} Haven't"
Zammm = Batman. Bronies unite."I'd call you a genius, but I'm in the room." It's my sig in a box

Everything is better when you read it in Bane's voice.
Your human antics and desire to continue living have moved me. Just kidding. You cannot move me physically or emotionally. Wall humor.
Copy effects work like a photocopy machine: you get a copy of the 'naked' card, NOT of what's on it.
Funny story: InQuest Magazine (I think it was InQuest) had an oversized Chaos Orb which I totally rooked someone into allowing into a (non-sanctioned) game. I had a proxy card that was a Mountain with "Chaos Orb" written on it. When I played it, my opponent cried foul:
Him: "WTF? a Proxy? no-one said anything about Proxies. Do you even own an actual Chaos Orb?" Me: "Yes, but I thought it would be better to use a Proxy." Him: "No way. If you're going to put a Chaos Orb in your deck you have to use your actual Chaos Orb." Me: "*Sigh*. Okay."
I pulled out this huge Chaos Orb and placed it on the table. He tried to cry foul again but everyone else said he insisted I use my actual Chaos Orb and that was my actual Chaos Orb. I used it, flipped it and wiped most of his board.
Unsurprisingly, that only worked once and only because everyone present thought it was hilarious. 
My DM on Battleminds:
no, see i can kill defenders, but 8 consecutive crits on a battlemind, eh walk it off.
Hi guys! So, I'm a sort of returning player to Magic. I say sort of because as a child I had two main TCG's I liked. Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon. Some of my friends branched off in to Magic, and I bought two pre-made decks just to kind of fit in. Like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were what I really knew how to play. I have a extensive knowledge of deck building in those two TCG's. However, as far as Magic is concerned, I only ever used those two pre made decks. I know how the game is played, and I know general things, but now I want to get in the game for real. I want to begin playing it as a regular. My question is, are all cards ever released from the time of the inception of this game until present day fair game in a deck? Or are there special rules? Are some cards forbidden or restricted? Thanks guys, and I will gladly accept ANY help lol. 
I have the same problem with women.
Is this my new ego sig? Yes it is, other Barry

And that's why you should never, ever call RP Jesus on being a troll, because then everyone else playing along gets outed, too, and the thread goes back to being boring.
See, this is why RPJesus should be in charge of the storyline. The novel line would never have been cancelled if he had been running the show. Specifically the Slobad and Geth's Head talkshow he just described.
Not only was that an obligatory joke, it was an on-topic post that still managed to be off-topic due to thread derailment. RP Jesus does it again folks.
I think I'm gonna' start praying to Jesus... That's right, RPJesus, I'm gonna' be praying to you, right now.
O' Jesus
Please continue to make my time here on the forums fun and cause me to chuckle.
Amen.
It was wonderful. Us Johnnies had a field day. That Timmy with the Grizzly bears would actually have to think about swinging into your Mogg Fanatic , giving you time to set up your silly combo . Nowadays it's all DERPSWING! with thier blue jeans and their MP3 players and their EM EM OH AR PEE JEES and their "Dewmocracy" and their children's card games and their Jersey Shores and their Tattooed Tenaged Vampire Hunters from Beverly Hills 
Seriously, that was amazing. I laughed my *ss off. Made my day, and I just woke up.

Adi has left a terrible taste in my mouth after being apart of the catastrophe that was Warren Ellis' Iron Man run. I hope he was able to keep up his Magic schedule better then his comic work. He has so much talent, I just don't want to wait months after Zendikar comes out for each new card he said would be done on time.

I never read the Iron Man run. His art is great, but it's the kind of work that takes a long time and not really suitable for monthly comic work. I also notice he only did the one card shown in the Arcana. Maybe some more in Worldwake or something.

Well, there's now a booster pack for those foily goodness. Interesting. Getting a Foil Elspeth should be "slightly easier" now, right?

Ugh. Considering that foils usually are worth only at most twice their normal counterpart, the much-jacked-up price for the all-foil booster is a major put-off. Unless they contain all rares, which is impossible since any card can be inside the pack, which I take to mean that The distribution will be exactly the same as nomal boosters: 1 rare/mythic, 3 uncommons, 10 commons, 1 basic land. And that isa major put off.
