While events like these can be expected to raise cries that Magic is dying among scrubs, even more cogent veterans expressed unhappiness at the change. ?The change removes decisions a lot of interesting decisions from the game,? commented one player. ?Consider blocking Savannah Lions with a Sakura Tribe Elder. Under the old rules I had to make a choice between trading and getting a land, but now there will simply be only one correct play. I understand their desire to make the game more accessible to newer play

  • WE PLAY TOO #8: Dale?s Redemption

    WE PLAY TOO #8: Dale?s Redemption One of the original ideas behind ?We Play Too? was to demonstrate the flaw in the common perception that judges are bad players. Unfortunately, for a brief instant later in this report, the flaw will be in my play. But there?s lots of ...
