Nov 27, 2018Stoogeslap posted a message on The Twelfth Annual MTGS Holiday Card Exchange!This has been a lot of fun each year that I have participated. I'd like to re-emphasize a point: please make sure you chose a nice, playable card. As silly as Vizzerdrix is, this over-costed vanilla blue dude is not playable, no matter how much you dress him up as Santa. I am not naming names, but I have gotten some really meh cards in the past that are still collecting cob webs in my binder. The card(s) do not necessarily need to be valuable, but at the least playable. You know how stokes I would be if I got a Sign in Blood that is pimped out.Posted in: Articles
Also (luckily I haven't seen this), please do not decorate HP or damaged cards. All the gorgeous artwork isn't going to make up for a crease from being bent in half or cover up the hole marks when your dog bit your Lightning Bolt.
Please do not cover up the text box w/ art or anything else. We will have seasoned players as well as the novice players (possibly) participating. Most of us know how Counterspell or Swords to Plowshares works, but some newer players who might be starting off w/ Standard may not know these cards, no matter how classic they are.
And lastly, this is important too, please takes photos of your cards before sending out because not everyone will post scans of what they got. I made this mistake last year and the lucky geek who got my alters still hasn't posted them (if you are reading this, it's never too late, lol).
Look forward to a lot (I hope) of participants. Let's make this the best Holiday Card Exchange the best one yet!!!

Feb 7, 2014Stoogeslap posted a message on MTGSalvation Update FAQMy gripes that I hope will/can be fixed:Posted in: Announcements
- Custom titles for the "archmage overlords" have been snipped to 30 characters or less and (to my experience), cannot have a color outside of black.
- Where did the itrader go? I used that a lot... needs to come back. I found something similar, but it asks for "one card" I am looking for. itrader could search up to 10 cards.
- The "curse premium" ad on the top... do not like to see a reminder about a service with a fee that doesn't add much to this particular site
- Thread that have new posts are no longer bolded... the bolded look gave a visual clue to new posts in the thread that I (the current user) has not seen.
- So far, there's not area/section at the bottom of a thread listing the members and guests reading/reviewing the thread.
- The fonts are too light (for the light skin). I'd like to see the fonts darken up a bit for easiness to read. The fonts are too thin as a whole, which makes the black appear dark gray.
- The "would you still like to leave this site..." Y/N bubble when going to a linked site. It is unnecessary.
- So far an image has to be really tiny to upload... a 16.2kb jpeg was "too big" to upload... what gives? -
Feb 4, 2014Stoogeslap posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite card is Sensei's Divining Top... just being able to see what's coming to anticipate the new few moves is a big help. I actually played it a few nights ago in a casual game verses my girlfriend, and she actually voiced that she didn't like the card. She knew right away the edge it was giving me... and she's a new player!Posted in: Announcements

Look into these eyes,
Then you'll see the size of the flames,
Dwellin' on the past,
It's burnin' up my brain,
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain..."
Now from R&D's design perspective, a cost of 4W is equal to 2WW, which would've been just as acceptable while still carrying the mana weight they wanted. I'd rather see a trade in splashable to more playable in constructed. Sometimes I wonder why they make cards that vaguely shine in limited, but are dead in the water for constructed.
Ummmm.... where does it say "once per turn" on the card? Also, where does it say you can target "opponents stuff" in an opponents graveyard?
Am I missing something; are we reading the same rules text on the same card?
It's whenever you cast an instant or sorcery.... won't be able to target their one-shot Vandalblast.
lolololololololol... Makes we wonder (if this is true) why have either Eldrazi or Phyrexians come into new sets that have nothing to do with said past antagonists. Yeah, I guess it ties in older stories to new stories; but I still find it ridiculous. Like how a Praetor ended up in Kaldheim
So, you can take what's in the Box A: X, Y & Z (worth 1 trillion dollars)... or what's in Box B... (the only difference is that we KNOW what's in box B... it's crap, it's the Jelly of the Month Club, the gift that keeps on giving)
(just look up creature type "Processor" in the Gatherer... for some reason it's not linking well here; even tried to to link it to the words "Eldrazi Processors")
Wow... actually thinking about making a Processor Commander deck now. Aside from green, there are 10 that can be used; but want white. There are 6 w/ ETB effects, so then the white & blue will be to blink. But I regress (was treating my post/response as a drawing board for an interesting idea)...
I like this card. It's going to fit in well w/ the strange Eldrazi Commander deck I now want to play.
