Well crap. Now I'm not going to have anywhere to ask rules questions or scope out cool deck lists for various formats.
In my opinion this has been the best resource for the game. Now I'm just wander around the internet trying to find a substitute. Bullocks I tell you!

Nov 30, 2017Perodequeso posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemI agree with the vast majority of this opinion piece, however: in one paragraph it states that policing peoples thoughts is abhorrent, and in another paragragh it states one should be OK with shooting people for their thoughts.Posted in: Articles
Nazis in Normandy were an occupying force waging a war of aggresson and comitting human rights violations. Modern American nazis are just a**holes with their heads lodged, we should shoot them? If and when they become violent prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law sure, but to espouse idealogical violence is dangerous, extreme thinking. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Slow enough rotation to keep some stability, but enough rotation to eventually weed out pricey cards.
Cards from RTR are mostly inexpensive. I think any further back and the prices become out of control.
Of course this idea could use a little refinement, but I feel that it's the closest thing to a solution to an ever deeper and more expensive Modern.
Otherwise Modern will be in the same place as Legacy.
Start say with RTR to currents sets, then every three years or so drop the oldest block. The format would allow for a Modern/Frontier like experience.
Would hopefully be more financially accessible, and the slow rotation would prevent the very problems that plague Modern and Legacy, needing expensive cards.
And play around with the rotation schedule a bit so that you still have that non-rotating vibe.
My thought is that with a super slow rotation decks would be viable for a few years, maybe more, but when older cards get to pricey they'll rotate out and keep the format in check. Also then hopefully your old Standard cards that have no place in Modern could still be playable.
This is just a rough draft idea, curious what people think. I'm trying to come up with a compromise solution to the disparity between Standard and non-rotating formats. There has got to be something in between.
And yes, this would be just NWO cards. If you are not down with NWO then just play Legacy, Vintage, or Old School. That's mostly what I do. But newer players do not always have access or means to those older cards, and when Standard rotates your cards become good for nothing but kitchen table.
Frankly I love what you're doing, and if people get salty and rage quit, you've won. I relish the tears of salty net-deckers.
I find it ironic(and pathetic) when you beat someone and they claim your deck sucks. If my deck sucks and I still beat you that means I must be the superior gamer. People online can really be immature, try not to let it get to you. And if you're winning, even better. Hopefully you can find a group of like minded players how love the game for the game.
Read different decklists, when you play against a particularly impressive deck, ask it's owner if you can check it out after the match. The more decks you see, study, and encounter will eventually improve your skills. My first point of advice would be to read up on different decks in the threads. Becoming a good deck brewer takes time and exposure. And as I stated above, net deck, play it for a bit then either adjust it for your meta, or go for other decks.
Also play more. Sometimes you can build a deck and think you understand it, but in actual game play discover whole new aspects and synergies you were unaware of. Or you can discover that what looked like a good idea just falls short.
In short: read, build, play, play some more, read some more, and play some more.
They amended the List twice, in 2002 and 2010. Both times WOTC was met with blowback(especially in 2010) which has only served in having WOTC double down on the list, or removal thereof. This just reaffirms my suspicion that it'd remain intact after a sale. I would love to see it go, but guessing it won't.
And as many have speculated, removal of the list could be a sign of Mtg's death.
I know most of the stuff in this set that’s not on the reserved list do mot make for good reprints but come on. Junun Efreet, Rukh Egg, or Sorceress Queen would all have better choices. Even Stone-Throwing Devils or El-Hajjaj.
I know the templating was goofy as all get out, but Oubliette?
My question is, which version is correct? Or are they both correct depending upon which one you are using?
Not used to Gatherer creating more confusion than it solves.
I’m just gonna drop this here. 93/94 Elder Dragon Highlander with no banned list, as of yet. I would suggest Karakas at least.
Because I want my friends to hate me!
@Teysa: psha! they’re the RC, of course they’re force onto us all.
