You picked a bad time to come back because the game and community are in the worst states I've seen them in since 7th edition.
Why do you say that? Lack of variety? I recently came back too and I am in the process of researching building a deck. I noticed there is only 3 or 4 major "net decks" out there now-a-days. Usually when I looked through cards and championed decks. There were more than that to help find cards a bit easier to customize my own.
Awesome! That makes sense in the sequence of events. I have been just looking around at Modern and Standard decks and I keep seeing this card. Either way, I can see why people put it in if they run B/G.
Thanks bud. I think you are right when I was playing back then it was called Standard, but people I was around was using it synonymously. I wanted to read the books anyways. Thanks for some of the storyline. I'll look up some of the new stuff.
I am trying to understand this card a bit better...
If one or more counters would be placed on an artifact or creature you control, that many of those counters plus one are placed on that permanent instead. - Does that mean if 2 +1/+1 counters are added to an artifact or creature then I would add ANOTHER 2+1 +1/+1 counters on it? Essentially adding 5 +1/+1 counters? Or is it simply saying the 2 +1/+1 counters is now 3 +1/+1 counters?
If you would get one or more counters, you get that many of those counters plus one instead. - See above
So I am coming back since Khans. Has there been any major changes? I believe that is when they changed from the Type 2 moniker to Standard and what not. Any one have a list of recent changes?
