    This has the magic words: draw 7. It combos amazingly well with Channel. Play Channel, pay 5 life, play this, pay the rest of your life, die, draw 7 and go back to 20, continue from there.



    I like your thinking...in your example you'd still have 15 colorless mana in the manapool (as it is not emptied)...Nice Fireball-size

    Is there any way this could be good in limited?


    Hm, depending how you die and what your seven new cards it might be quite good. But as it was pointed out before it is not very likely.

    its funny how people complain that you get left with nothing...

    hasnt anyone heard of drawbacks before?

    sure you're given a second chance... but you gotta pay!


    but as DarkTemplar mentioned...in a red burn deck it's just what the doctor ordered (full life and 7 cards in hand)

    Bolin, it's a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. It does not use the stack. You can't respond to its effects.

    Markers, it is much better in 2 headed giant. Your replacement effect stops your ally losing the game, but they don't lose their permanents nor their hand.


    Thanks! Like the card even better now!

    How would this card work in a 2 Headed game?

    Does that mean, that both players sac their permanents and draw 7 cards or just the owner of the artifact?

    On that auction site (the german version) a lot of retailers seem to sell their copies there.

    Not really fair is it but what can you do.

    Quote from Ravarshi
    my brain hurts now.. from all the math, They Stack, However you cannot bounce the spitemare's off one another multiple times, each time one redirects the damage that one dies.. so in completion

    13631488 Damage to your opponents Dome. Calculated in Parse... (13 x4 to the Tenth Power) Now i think i need to go to the hospital for a brain anuryism.


    Grin 13 million damage...I like that one

    The guys who organize our FNM in my Town (pop: 100'000) each got a set from the store owner. This morning I thought I should have a look at the store...and he told me that he had ordered 'some'...

    Okay, I grabbed 2 on the spot and went to the grocery store to do my 'weekly routine' and while waiting at the cashier thought about getting more sets...So, I went back and got 2 more (all he had)...

    With the one ordered I now have 5 sets and will save them...

    This 'spare' situation seems a lot like the Legends-Booster-Desaster in 94...Except, here they won't produce more.

  • posted a message on Why do you netdeck?
    Net-Decking was the reason I stopped playing back in 99...The time when the Control-Stasis-Decks (don't remember the exact term for it)...everybody was playing it. One of the most boring decks ever...I didn't come to watch a stranger opposite me tap a land every turn and attack me with a vigilance critter once a round.

    Of course there are positive sides to net decking...you don't have to spent that much time in getting a great deck for example.

    Since my 'reboot' I stayed with drafts and have not regret it.

    Did anyone happen to catch what the MPR ***/Damnation alter went for? I have a feeling it was pulled because its not in my watched or ended listings on that certain auction site.


    I bid till $200 and it went for more than $700 ($740 something) as far as I remember...

    The good thing about Goblinblossom is that the more you have in play the more fun it is...Which is a bit tricky with Bitterblossom...

    Good card. Will love to play it in limited

    Does phasing in trigger come into play effects?


    But on the positive side your auras stay on the critter as well.

  • posted a message on [[Official]] What is the most pimp card/deck you've seen or owned? (SEE RULES!)
    Quote from Alphataru
    Do artists usually charge to sign cards? I thought most of them do it for free, and people just buy a few of whatever they're selling at the time.


    Sorry, for the confusion. No, they usually (there are exceptions) don't charge anything. But as a European it is VERY hard to attend events where artists sign cards.

    And so I have to buy them expensive from Ebay (where other players sell signed cards from these events) Wink

    Quote from Demetri X
    I have a friend who has 4 Foil versions of every card ever created by alexi briclot, all signed (thoughtseize, all the planeswalkers, etc).

    He had to wait in line for like 2 days straight at nats to get it done. He also got a Garruk, a Thoughseize, and I think an Ajani altered. He did get his playmat altered as well.


    Not bad, not bad at all...As it is VERY hard to get Briclot to sign cards I had to pay quite some money to get my playsets of Thoughtseize and the planewalkers)...They're nice though and well worth it. Grin
