About 4 years later than I thought it would sink (seeing the site bought by an Alabama based online gaming site? I mean....), but I'm still sad to see it die off.
As long as Reddit is unusable and Facebook is Facebook I'll probably hover around whatever is next.

There are cheaper options that do better stuff. -
Nov 16, 2007Galspanic posted a message on D'awww ShucksHonestly, you have given me fun projects to work on. That's worth a lot to me. When I look you up on Google I find all sorts of stories about the stuff you have dealt with and as many stories about how people in your neck of the woods (and elsewhere) think you are great. You look me up and you find nothing except fprmer students on myspace complaining about what an ahole I am.... So, enjoy it man.Posted in: PolarBearGod Blog

And yeah, I would've guessed that she'd be a $10-$15 presale and would drop to $5 within 3 months. I'm pretty shocked that anyone is paying this much for her.
Those are both good online. If you want the easy button for what to pick this can help: http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper#paper
Right. There are creatures like these that are played (or want to be played) because of the effect and not the body. I think that if f these were 0/1s for 4 mana people would play the hell out of them. Because the effect is worth about 4-5 mana and the body is an after thought. When you feel like you are paying 3-4 mana extra for a sizable body, it doesn't really add to the value of the card.
8 mana is just way too much for these effects. I so wish they cost 5 and had 3/3 bodies.
In a 4 player game, what RW or W deck wants to spend 13 turns to tutor for a single card? It takes 4 turns (including the one you play it) just to get the first clue. And the problem with RW and W is the lack of action because they lack card draw. Telling Boros that they can tutor for a car in 3 untaps for 5 mana is just not going to fly even in the most casual groups. Basically, the card doesn't do what it promises to do well enough for it to be the choice that wins out - if it cost 2 mana to start up then I would definitely advocate for this being an interesting potentially playable casual card in colors lacking draw/tutor. But for 5 you'd be better off playing a bunch of other cards.
Pauper has become appealing to non-budget casual players too - if the only appeal was budget people wouldn't play it. And while Modern has destroyed a lot of the cheap decks (Affinity and Tron have doubled in the last year or so) there are still plenty of archetypes that one can play for under $30.
Mono-black Control can also be played without Oubliette just fine.
Better has nothing to do with it. This thing is complex, ability-dense, and flashy.
Gravecrawler is probably a more solid card with a more straight-forward application, but the potential upside to this card is pretty big compared to Gravecrawler.
That seemed almost playable, but this looks like a floating steamer.
How's that?
EDIT: I'm going to wait on the exact wording.
