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.

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.

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).

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 .

Okay, version 5 is online:

www.toothycat.net/~hologram/Turing/

I've fixed the universal Turing machine, changing it from the (2 state, 3 colour) one (which wasn't properly universal unless the tape is infinitely large and nonrepeating) to a (2 state, 18 colour) one which is widely accepted. I've also eliminated the fiddly Skirk Drill Sergeant - Carnival of Souls - False Dawn - Platinum Emperion - Wheel of Sun and Moon madness in favour of a much more sensible approach, involving Necroskitter and a Tajuru Archer wielding a Blight Sickle

Meanwhile, I'm still plugging away at v6. Omen Machine looked promising at first, but its "players can't draw cards" proved annoying; but Wild Evocation has a lot of promise. Rather than fiddling around with burn spells that only damage a selected subset of creatures, I think it'll work much more simply to hack Righteous War , and use either Pyroclasm or Evincar's Justice . Bereavement along with Wheel of Sun and Moon let me make one player discard their burn spell and the other get to cast it. There are still a bunch of details to figure out, though, which have been proving rather fiddly and annoying. I'm pretty confident I'll get there.

And even if that approach doesn't pan out, Khoth has an outline of an astonishing alternative approach, which would even allow more than 2 states! And it's built on, of all things, Life and Limb , Muraganda Petroglyphs , and - I'm not making this up - Cathedral of Serra :D

This is all great work.

Once the "you may" is sorted i'd like to see a video of a game starting, drawing cards each turn and setting things up, then performing a basic but algorythmic calculation.

in the cards section, you have both Slith and Siren marked as S1. FYI. also Blinkmoth and Bringer are both at times marked as B1.
