The pimping slope is very slippery. Once you start you cannot stop. Which means you turn into a pimp hoarding machine without willpower to stop yourself. I wouldn't start pimpin.
But then again i am pimpin', to my wallet's huge sorrow and pain.
Ancestral Vision has no mana cost, and as such you cannot play it's cost. Therefore you cannot play Ancestral Vision with Snapcaster Mage. It works with cards like Gitaxian Probe, because those cards have a mana cost that can be payed, this is not the case with Ancestral vision.
You declare blockers (say Mishra's Factory blocks a Kird Ape).
Then in the after declare blockers step, you activate Mishra's second ability targetting itself, making it a 3/3. Then you if no other effects are played, you go on to the damage step where damage is actually dealt. It does not matter whether Mishra's Factory is tapped or not, as long as it is already blocking before it is tapped, it still deals damage.
Oh man. That is sweet. I was wondering who ran of with Seesic's Sensei's Divining Top alter. I've stopped collecting alters lately, but that one is definitely my favourite alter of all time! If you ever come to the thought of getting rid of it, you better be sending me a pm first!
Your entire deck is insane though :D. Especially the Ondal, Bristol, Demonium and Seesic pieces which is especially like!
I believe i played something like guardian into 3/4 hexproof rhino, then knightly valored it and then played my Angel of Serenity. It was not as nice as crushing Josh Cho by playing both my Armada Wurm and then my Angel for my win and in. Did i mention that my deck had the stupidest bombs?
The rest of the deck was basically 2 Knightly Valors and lots of guys / combat tricks. I had no removal spell. I lost all the games where and opponent played Loleth Troll. Had i met some more guildmages i probably would have lost more as well :P.
I obviously didn't win the Silver PTQ, that wouldn't have been fair either. With two pack rats and all. Lost in the quarters (again) against Michael Jacob. My deck didn't really come together and i think i built the deck wrong. I believe that the deck i had was just to bad to win anything so i probably should've just had 30 swamps and all my scavenge guys + pack rats :P. On the plus side i got lots of product which yielded me a full set of RTR, i guess that counts for something :D.
Also: Of course on my second last round i had to win. Lost the first one and mulled to 4 in the second game. Apparently 3 lands and axebane guardian are enough when you have Angel of Serenity. Woop!
On these new rules changes, i like them a lot. A lot less feel bad and generally feels like you're actually playing magic.
The best shop is probably near the corner Passeig de Sant Joan / Carrer de Ali Bei where they sell a lot of singles and also have many tournaments, but I forgot the name.
This would be InGenio BCN, which i agree is the best shop there. There's a daily legacy event with 10-20 players, and in the weekend they have way more. I believe they have daily drafts there as well. I recommend bringing a Legacy deck if you have one!
The movie was great imho, it had a great pace and told more background story than The Hobbit book does. Its focus on action is a bit to heavy, but overall a captivating story and a great movie. I can honestly say i enjoyed it more than i enjoyed Lord of the Rings Two Towers and Return of the King.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to try to force people to buy stuff from you. Stop it before my wallet is assaulted with wants of alters! On a more serious note though, the Blood Moon, Supreme Verdict, Decimate and the Swords to Plowshares are especially insane.
So; a prize that is designed for commander was given away in a commander tournament and the TO won it. I really don't see the issue here. If he was giving a commander prize away to a legacy tournament because he's good at it i'd get it. But if everyone looses against him you will just sanction him by not going to his events.
I have no problem with collectors. People got to be allowed to do whatever they want to, but the problem lies in the fact that the reserved list actually exists. And it shouldn't, and when collectors of old were the ones complaining about chronicles etc, wizards now couldn't or wouldn't abolish it. It's a game we play, i want to be able to play Legacy with more people. I don't care that all my duals fall in price. I just want the community to grow.
Saw you post another alter here and had totally forgot to check by this thread in the last months. So i checked your page and found this on it. This is beyond insane and totally amazing. Now i'm gonna go and sulk for not having this piece. This is the greatest alter of all time. ALL TIME, and it ain't even close.
EDIT: Also; Sovereign of Lost Alara is pretty sweet ;D, to bad i stopped playing EDH :(.

Let me know what you think.
