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.
In effect, what I'm asking is, outside of countering All Hallow's Eve, is there any way to stop its effect from resolving?
Exactly what I was thinking as well.
My intuition says "no", but I would like clarification please. Thanks.
Right!
The thing is, is that it's possible to play Magic and at the same time not support WOTC. If you at the Old School 93/93 and Premodern formats for example. These are formats that are player driven and run, and they are formats that WOTC doesn't explicitly print cards to. The fact is, is that it's possible to play Magic without ever engaging in new products if you want to do so.
I have spent ridiculous amounts on individual cards. Not for the sake of winning more, but to build up a collection. Buying older cards on the secondary market doesn't support WOTC, it supports the LGSs.(and yes I am aware that buying new singles does support WOTC de facto)
The Magic community could boycott WOTC, but the fact is that "MTG community" is a misnomer, we are multiple communities with varied ways with which we engage the game. The same holds true for the D&D community, but the difference is that WOTC pissed off the part of the D&D community that is the most financially engaged. There are tons of D&D groups that are completely unaffected by WOTC's decisions and could care less one way or another. When I play D&D I'm playing a mix of 1st and 2nd Editions, no need for papa Hasbro subsidiary products for my group.
It's be cool if Magic players could have the ability to influence WOTC's decisions, but the very nature of the game makes that improbable.
Luckily I own enough cards to play the game for the rest of my life and not need to acquire any further cards, even though I will.
I'm thinking yes but would like confirmation one way or the other.
Thank you. A small part of my confusion stemmed from the fact that the word "sacrifice" was used in one of the Oracle rulings.
I believe the answer is yes, but one never be too certain about these things, especially when he doesn't show up on Gatherer.
