    I have a condescending tone? I wasn't aware text gave off a tone.


    In Writing, Tone is the Author's Attitude


    I have to ask: What bizarre pleasure do you derive from this? You have to be one of the most unpleasant posters this forum has ever experienced.

    No Bribery in Modern Masters then.

    Why is this allowed to work?

    It seems like if this were an option, it should say "up to 4 cards".

    DCI needs to fix the loophole as it is extremely unintuitive based on the card's wording.

    Quote from Tormod
    The speculation that legacy will decline is short sighted.

    #1 no one playing legacy will abandon legacy for modern.



    I am in the process of doing exactly this. Trading down, in a sense.

    An anecdote:

    I want to play M:TG. There is approximately one chance to play sanctioned Legacy per month in my metropolitan region (≈ 2,000,000 humans). Until about 1.5 years ago, there were none. I have collected the cards to play several Legacy decks, but I can't use them as much as I would like and I have never felt I have gotten my money's worth. I am invested in something that I am rarely able to enjoy.

    There are at least five weekly Modern tournaments that are easily accessible from my location. My best chance to play competitive Magic lies within the Modern format as I can't and don't want to keep up with the ever changing Standard format. I own many Modern staples already and those I don't, I am trading for my Legacy cards.

    I can't be the only one, so you probably shouldn't try to express yourself in such extremes.

    I have a few of these sleeves. They must be near 20 years old as mine are holding old sports cards from the early 90s, 93-94ish. They are almost like a 9 pocket page but a bit thicker and if I remember right they were just a premium sleeve made for sports cards as ccgs didn't really exist at that point and if they did no one cared about playing in sleeves.

  • posted a message on 911 caller arrested for lying about a gun, maybe getting perp killed
    The cops would not have hesitated to fire on this guy as soon as he reached in his waistband whether or not he was reported to have a gun. They don't assume he's pulling ice cream from his pants. Hopefully if this goes to trial a jury is competent enough to see that the caller is not guilty of manslaughter, maybe false police report at best.

    Quote from Solaran_X
    Guess you don't know anything about our gun laws if you think "they let any idiot have a gun in the USA."


    What does this mean? Are you referring to the idiots that aren't old enough or have felony convictions, etc.? Because in the USA, it is an individual's right to bear arms, even the idiots.

    Knight of the Reliquary being bumped to mythic is just as arbitrary as Bogardan Hellkite being bumped to mythic from rare in Time Spiral. This set is a just a test from Hasbro to see if consumers are willing to blow $20 on a pair of shiny "mythic" rares and a bunch of junk. Needless to say, I am looking forward to Commander and future duel decks.

    On the "Syntax Help" page you are missing the format a: before the artist name.

    Or, they could print the emblem on the back of another token instead of whatever other junk they are going print there any way.

    Quote from Dark_Slayer
    I know they're printing these in English, German and French this time as announced by the arcana but do we know if there will be Japanese language ones as well? I recently found out that the Phyrexia vs. Coalition set was printed in Japanese, but I don't remember an arcana announcing it. If anyone has any info on this i'd be nice to know if I could pick up Japanese foil elspeth and tezzeret for like $30.


    Gatherer lists the languages for this set as being English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. I think it is safe to assume there is a Japanese version. Whether or not it has been released yet is another question as I have been unable to locate one.

    Guessing Seedborn Muse at 37.

    Tarmogoyf would be the nicest thing WotC could put at 43, but they won't. I suspect it will be Spectral Bears or Spectral Force.

    EDIT: Couple more guesses for 43: Spreading Algae, Stampeding Wildebeests, Summer Bloom, Survival of the Fittest.

    3 green cards after Wall of Bone. My guesses:

    Wall of Brambles (regenerating blocker)
    Wall of Roots (mana producing Wall)
    Wall of Wood (cheap blocker)
    War Dance (creature pump)
    Warthog (Swampwalk)
    Weatherseed Treefolk (recurring Trampler)
    Whirling Dervish (this and Dunerider Outlaw, but I think he said only 1 Human and and it was a Shaman)
    Wild Might (creature pump)
    Wild Ox (Swampwalk)
    Wirewood Elf (mana producer, no Llanowar Elves based on numbers, maybe Fyndhorn Elves at 9?)
    Wirewood Savage (Beast theme)
    Wordly Tutor (creature tutor)

    Do any of these fit, GvL Spoiler?

    Also hoping for Damnation at 6 and Tarmogoyf at 43. Wink
