This thread is for the discussion of Meyou's latest article, Off Topic: Magical Mushrooms. Due to technical issues the thread that is normally created when an article is published didn't occur, so I have created this thread to allow you to talk about it. As always, please keep your comments on topic.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
In regards to A. niger, I didn't want to keep piling on the heap of fun facts. I could spend all day doing that. A fungus I probably could have mentioned.
Interesting thought on Ghave. I never thought of him as a slime mold, but there is some validitiy to the idea. Although, slime molds technically aren't a fungus. They are ameobae or other organisms.
I will admit scanning through the Magic card lexicon that I totally missed Mycosynth Lattice. Good eye.
Good article Meyou. I know I've been critical of some of your articles in the past, but I thought this had a great mix of fun scientific knowledge mixed with Magic info/history. Kudos!

I think Ghave, Guru of Spores is supposed to be a slime mold. Also, you forgot Mycosynth Lattice, for basically turning Ghave into "2: Vindicate" when Aura Shards hits the table. Also, for being a big hint as to what's wrong on Mirrodin, since "noncreature artifact becomes artifact creature" is an old, old Phyrexian trick.
On phasing:
