This could be a card, a set, a particular product, an experience, a fan-creation, or forum post (anything MTG-related, really) that tickled your fancy in a grand way this year.

For me, it was the simple act of playing cards with some friends I'd not played with in several months. That I hadn't really played Magic at all in that time made the experience that much sweeter. Made me realize the value in this game, in bringing people together for some laughs and bonding.

Edit: eek! The title should be worded better T_T After realizing I could edit titles: FIXED ^_^

Chunking a 22/21 lotleth troll with Jarad's ability for a win :D

Also playing with my friends. Even if I lose I always make some laughs because I normally go "Well I've I am going down, I am taking something with me" which I normally kill something right before I die :D

Hey Royk, why do you never come to the standard forums anymore?
I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine.

Catpoints:
Spoiler: Show

What are catpoints?
A way of measuring how much I love you.
How do I get catpoints?
1:  participate in my forum games/contests.
2:  make awesome posts.
3:  destroy Carthage.
What can I do with catpoints?
You can ask favors of me.  I may or may not agree to your favor, depending on how big the favor is and how many catpoints you have.
Who has how many catpoints?

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters.  More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it.  Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.

Favorite bit so far: Seeing 800.4a fixed.
Favorite bit to come: receiving a Force of Will for Christmas/birthday.
Least favorite bit: Wizards no longer having a magic event at NYCC.

Just because it says I'm there, I'm not necessarily there. I leave my browser open so I don't have to reload ~30 tabs.
Anyone who wants to text duel me through either PM or chat can just PM me with a format (and a time if playing through chat). I don't play standard.

Winning is not important if:

1.  You win by a blowout.

2.  You pay billions of dollars in cards to win.   If you like wasting money just to win one game, while you could have saved it to lose a few and end up winning more in the future, then it is fine by me.


what?

do you ceremonially light your deck on fire after a win?

I think the most awkward situation at the moment is simply the Myr Welder / Equipment / Licid / Aura craziness, but I'm pretty sure he's aware of it.



If the most awkward thing going on right now involves Licids, I declare victory.

You are totally awesome. Thank you so much. I hope you are able to dine in Paradise without kicking the bucket to actually get there, and that every dollar you ever make magically becomes two more.

I don't think there are any cards like that.

There are things that prevent you from activating activated abilities, things that increase their cost, and things that counter them, but I don't think anything triggers from them specifically.

There are things that trigger from targeting, so that might be relevant, but I can't think of anything that triggers from targeting a player.

I'm almost positive there's nothing that triggers from damage being prevented.
