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.

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.

That's what RPJesus tends to do. That's why I don't think he's a real person, but some Magic Card Archive Server sort of machine, that is programmed to react to other posters' comments with obscure cards that do in fact exist, but somehow missed by even the most experienced Magic players.

And then come up with strange combos with said cards. All of that is impossible for a normal human to do given the amount of time he does it and how often he does it.

He/It got me with Light of Sanction , which prompted me to go to RQ&A to try and find if it was even possible to do combat damage to a creature I control (in light that Mark of Asylum exists).

Blue players get all the overpowerered cards like JTMS.  I think it's time that wizards gave something to people who remember what magic is really about:  creatures.


Initially yes, Wizards was married to blue. However, about a decade ago they had a nasty divorce, and a few years after that they began courting the attention of Green. Then in Worldwake they had a nasty affair with their ex, but as of Innistrad , things seem to have gotten back on track, and Wizards has even proposed .



You are my favorite. Yes you. And moments like this make it so. Thank you RPJesus for just being you.

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.

The blazekite is a simple concept, really - just a vehicular application of dragscoop ionics and electropropulsion magnetronics. Idiot.

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.
