    I understand the margins would be slim. I was just thinking about increasing the supply.

    However, I am also curious would anyone have a problem with it. If they legalized it, would anybody be upset? You know, like no fair, you are playing with gold-borders!

    Just musing, but what are your thoughts about legalizing the International Edition of cards for Legacy and Vintage. The prices for these cards are not cheap per se and they wouldn't flood the market. It'd be a small drop in the bucket, but its better than nothing. It wouldn't violate the reprint policy. We've already seen this done with a retraction of Chronicles from being banned. Everybody uses sleeves nowadays so the card backing should be a non issue. I'm not talking the about the gold bordered cards from the Collector's Edition. I am specifically referring to the International Edition.

    Just curious what other people think about this. What do the Eternal Players think?

    Personally, I think computers should be more scared of us. We lie, cheat, kill, steal, hate, jealous, angry, hysterical, paranoid, and etc.

    You know what the robot thought the second it became self aware, "Dam... these people are crazy."

    Don't forget about Magic Online. In theory, its them negating the reprint policy. MTGO is a training ground for getting rid of the reprint list. I'm not saying they will do it, but the mtgo vintage stuff gives them some actual hard data to chew on.

    I personally won't worry about the reserved list getting revoked until I see reprints of other eternal staples. They could reprint Force of Will or Wasteland, but they haven't even done that yet. Until they do, I won't get too excited about any reserved list talk as they seem unwilling to do even that.

    Part of me believes this will be a solid archetype once the next set it released. The deck desperately wants a wrath effect which it appears we will be getting in the form of Crux of Fate. Hold on tight fellow Sultai fans. We just need to be patient.

    Sultai deck by Riley Curran placed 17th at SCG Open. It says 64th under the deck tech, but the standings has him just missing the top 16.

    I think to make this deck more successful is that it needs to cut a certain amount of lands that enter the battlefield tapped. Drawing a Temple turn three and being unable to cast a Hero's Downfall really hurts. Second, Sylvan Carytid isn't what it used to be. It's effectiveness at blocking has drastically gone down. There are just too many swarming armies, big attackers or fliers in this format. Ramp and color fixing is important, but I don't think it is where this particular deck wants to be. I've cut all the Temples and added in Evolving Wilds to boost my graveyard. Otherwise, Opulent Palace is my only comes into play tapped land (minus Evoling Wilds).

    I could be wrong, but I am at least happy to see other players working hard to make this archetype thrive.

    It is fixed now. Originally it said "Error: Unable to upload image." Also, my images wouldn't appear when tagged in my articles.

    Since the upload limit change, everything is working normally again.

    Thanks Feyd_Ruin

  • posted a message on Game engine advice
    For fun and just some tinkering, I was looking at designing a video game. I am pretty savy when it comes to general computer use, but after that, I am completely oblivious. Does anyone have any suggestions where to start and how to acquire a free game engine? The game itself would be 3-D and simulate a fighter jet in underground environment. Any help would be appreciated.

    And yes, I know this is horribly cliche and over ambitious.

    Thanks,
    Meyou

  • posted a message on Off Topic: Tilting the Water Bottle
    For the rest of the day, the optimal water intake would be to that eight or so bottles of water (or however much is best for you) throughout the day.


    I did give myself some wiggle because it is highly dependent on activity level, the amount of moisture in the food being taken, environment and etc. I also said it was recommended. However, the majority of people fail to take in an adequate amount of water. I guarantee there are way more people entering an emergency room due to dehydration than because they drank eight glasses of water.

    I will conceded there is a lot of debate about the issue. I think it is a little silly though. For one, it is highly dependent just like the clothes people wear. A person doesn't exactly wear the same clothes year round. I can't recommend wearing a swim suit year round when that person lives in Alaska. The other fact, I doubt I will ever see anyone enter the ER because they drank their eight or so glasses of water a day.

    Thanks! I thought I had missed some errata or rules change.

    I was watching the SCG Invitational watching Kurt playing Lands. Kurt played a turn one Mox Diamond which was countered by a Force of Will. Kurt still discarded a land. Did I miss the boat? I thought if it was countered that you didn't have to discard a land?
