As an additional cost to cast ~, exile a creature you control.
Exile target creature or planeswalker. It's controller reveals the top X cards from his or her library
where X is the exiled creature or planeswalker's casting cost. They may put one of those cards into
his or her hand, then exile the rest. "You gain the knowledge of power by having the perception to be weak."

During your upkeep you may pay W for each tapped creature target player controls, place a
fade counter on each of those creatures. Those creatures do not untap during their controller's next untap step.
The times of the Unholy Strength enchanting a Drudge Skeletons are gone. I mean you can still do this, just not in standard. It seemed simple those many years ago when Terror was another common that many thought was the staple in every black deck. Or every green stompy deck that had Llanowar Elves, with Birds of paradise and other treefolk. Those days are gone for the mainstream of Magic. Ok thanks for pointing out the obvious, captain. So where does Magic go from here? There were rumors about adding a 6th color at one slim glimpse in the past obviously it was just talk...but what else can you really, truly do to Magic without having every card be, 1 - Instant - "You win the game", type of cards, over powered, under balanced, total wackness of cards. I'm not your typical card-board crack type of sophisticated player. I make mistakes, I learn from them, I make other mistakes, I learn other new stuff. I guess I enjoy the little things, as I've gotten older in terms of this game. The game itself. I hate going to tourney's and turn 1/2 kills, it just turned me off from those types of tourneys. I don't have the resources to battle those kinds of decks. So that told me, stay at home and continue to play kitchen table style. Which is completely fine. For those who can afford all the chase rares and great cards and who can battle those kinds of decks, I get why these sets are crap in your eyes. I get it. Have you ever taught someone how to play with the current sets? Then with that being said, have you taught someone how to play on older cards afterward? The response is, the older cards, most of them are pretty lame. I wasn't even about to try to explain banding, and referred them to online rules, etc....So to "kitchen table players" like myself, these sets are golden. It allows us to encorporate some cards to our decks that make games last for an hour or so. We can sit around and drink a few or actually have a conversation while playing. If an argument breaks out, we don't get all butt hurt when we look up rules.
So with that being said, I obviously don't represent all kitchen table players. I don't represent drafters, but in my opinion this block was fun to add some cards to the mix. Could it be better? Yes. Could be much worse too! I like the conversations, the game play, the atmosphere, etc...of this game. That to me is what this block has provided; slowing down the meta to enjoy the game. Just my 2 cents, and that's probably all it's worth.
I kind of like Deicide the best...even with drafting, it's a card that lets me go through my opponents deck to see what I'm up against. Of course Feast of Dreams is so good with it's perspective getting rid of two cards...the Cockatrice was too expensive for my taste if this is P1P1...but if my 1st would have been a U/G card, and the cockatrice still in the mix, I would definitely pick it up quickly...
So a friend and myself are debating at the moment. With Kruphix and Omnath. Omnath says Green mana doesn't empty from your mana pool as steps and phases end. Omnath gets +1+1 for each green mana in your mana pool. He says green would still trigger Omnath. I said Kruphix says otherwise. Thoughts?
Correct me if I'm wrong, let's say you have Kruphix out. And you have open mana at the end of your opponents turn. Couldn't you just tap out, creating colorless mana for you to use the next turn? I mean I know it's not standard worthy, perhaps, but would be fun kitchen table/casual fun. EDH. Eeeeesh....definitely getting some

When ~ comes into play, announce a judge.
During each players turn, if that player has any untapped permanents at the end of their turn,
the judge assigns a pose in which that player must keep during their opponents turn. If the player
moves from assigned pose; that player returns 1 permanant to their hand, loses 1 life, and deals 2 damage to
target creature they own.
Yeah pretty happy that I can pick up another one. I'm keeping my original one sealed and now I can get one to actually play. I kept finding them around town and buying them for friends who were looking for them, so I wasn't trying to turn a profit. I'm wondering if B&M Stores will carry or only LGS? Just wondering outloud...
I'm sorry for interupting your black panther party - Forest Gump.
I made a comment. I never said I want them to do it. You probably should learn the difference in what I said. Never said they should do it. Never said they might do it. Never said they WILL do it. Never said any of those things. I said, they *could*. That's it. Waste of a post? I respect your opinion sir.
Edit - Add - I get what you are saying, you don't have to reply telling me any of the things you said. I know they are NOT going to do it. I may be newer to the forums but I'm not a complete idiot. Don't make it difficult for people to post in the forums. Not trying to be rude or anything as again, I get what you are saying.
Gilded Mox0
Artifact T: Sacrifice Gilded Mox, put 3 colorless artifact tokens named Gold onto the battlefield.
It has "Sacrifice this artifact: flip a coin, if you win the flip add one mana of any color to your mana pool.
if you lose the flip, target opponent adds one mana of any color to their mana pool during their first main phase." Pyrite or precious?
I thought it was pretty clear that I was just saying they "could" do something like that. It's just talk. I'm not saying they WILL...I'm just saying they *COULD*. You do realize that, right? I mean they could....they do own the product....
39.99 MSRP for the latest commander decks? My local Wal-Mart charged 29.95 for ALL Commander decks. Since my wife works for Wal-Mart, I picked it up with a 10% discount, still unopened in my closet. Even put up some feelers for my local area to sell, but most responses have been silly. I hope they do sell to big-box stores. We have 4 LGS's here and many more on the outskirts of town...they all charge about the same price for these things. The Battle Chest set here was being sold for 299.99, while I could still get it for 79.95 at other local stores. Just have to shop around...anyhow...make it available to everyone!!!! I just hate price gouging...sucks...

What about simply, "Homage to the Past". It makes sense to me, or "Genuflection", meaning, to bend the knee to the ground and pay homage.
