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

Question is, will it bring in a premium for a common, like 50 cents or more?
It's not a toomah... (It's a troll horn...)
The treasure making dwarf is cool, as red normally doesn't play w/ red creatures in the graveyard, so should be a great way to make treasure tokens.
To hone in my research, what zone would a card w/ foretell be in when it's placed face down? Or is it just in limbo such as cards that have been phased out.
Is it considered exiled? And when should it be countered: when it's place faced down or when the rest of it's cost is played? I think the core question is when the foretell cost is initially played, how can the owner of the card or the opponent interact with it?
Even though (technically) Assassin's Creed: Valhalla was released Nov. 2020, it is really a 2021 title; with players just now digging into the game & critics writing and/or publishing articles (just a read a review in Game Spot).
Then we have this new set that looks jaw-dropping fun, Kaldheim being released in the cold month of February (wondering if that was planned for the flavor of it...?).
And (hopefully) a game that I am one of the designers for has a 2021 release, which is aptly titled Twilight of the Gods (it has been out for 5 years now, but a new expansion for this expandable card game [you get all of the cards in the set when you buy it, no booster packs; just a different style of distribution of the product]. Now Twilight of the Gods (TotG for short), is not just about Norse mythology, but incorporates many Gods & mythical beasts from our own worlds religions, civilizations & mythologies. And no, this isn't meant to be a plug for my game; we haven't even been told when the Kickstarter is happening (we, the design team) only got an email from our publisher telling us that production of their various games is starting up again after a very sluggish 2020 & we're now part of the pipeline of their release calendared).
BTW (this part is sort of a plug...): you can look us up, Twilight of the Gods, on Amazon and the boardgame website, boardgamegeek.com
But back to my topic, anyone else agree this is the year of the Vikings? Am I missing any other Viking inspired or related media coming out this year?
I wouldn't necessarily say it break the color wheel. I think there are some very creative ways to give out of color abilities and synergies while still keeping the flavor. I remember when Unyaro Bee Sting came out in Mirage I thought it's too bad green doesn't have decent creature removal, just a sorcery that cost 4 & cards like this... then green got the fight mechanic and the ability for a creature to deal damage equal to it's power to another.
Here we have an exile effect, such as it is found in white, getting a blue spin on it. Reminds me of Afterlife, but trade instant speed for sorcery speed, but also able to hit artifacts.
This might be one of my new favorite blue commons; will probably go in ALL of my Commander decks that run blue.
Maybe not right away, but I expect foils in this to hit the $1+ range.
