  • posted a message on Do players not understand templating, or how cards actually work?
    Maro has mentioned several times that is is horrible at templating. He has even said, probably half-jokingly, that the people who do the templating have told him to stop even trying. Which brings us to another point Wizards has people whose job is to put R&D card ideas into the correct template

    Maybe the main magic site can have a feature article from one the templaters about it.

  • posted a message on [New Info] You Make The Card 4 Weeks 3 & 4: Enchantment Color
    [QUOTE=ThisIsNotMyName;/comments/5661849]Out of black and red, I feel red has more potential. Hell, half of Red's slice of pie is neglected because it's too hard for them to design for. Did you know red is the color of love? You probably didn't because it's much easier for them to design more direct damage spells. If this is an aura, I want a red love spell. Why? Because I know R&D won't touch the idea until someone does it for them...../QUOTE]

    This is also the reason that Red has my vote. Red is also the color or passion and creativity. How about an enchantment that that forces a player to play a spell or abilty but someone else has to pay for it.

    I also think that copying an activated ability should be in red's slice of the pie.

  • posted a message on Recommend a new set of mtg books
    I thought the Odyssey novel was terrible. Never read the sequels though. I just read time spiral and thought it was good bu not very good.

    I found that many used book stores have several Magic books, that is where I got the ones I have.

  • posted a message on What is your favorite card art of all time
    I don't think I can choose a favorite right now, there is too many really great pieces of art.

    Gift of Orzhova is on the top of that list.

    Quote from TheArchitect
    Why the hell would you give prize support to the very worst of the flight? I'd be offended if I placed in the top-16 and only got two more packs than 82nd place. 82nd place--that's the equivalent to rewarding exceptional failure.



    You can think of it as everybody gets to 3 packs as part of their entry fee and 8th-16th gets 2 packs as prizes.

  • posted a message on Did wizards make a mistake?
    A bit tangent to the OT, but some languages do have official words, where a government body decides if a word is "allowed" France is one such language and I am pretty sure China is also

    For alright vs all right, I think it should be which ever one fits better with the speaker, and the tone
    the flavor text.

  • posted a message on [SCD] Bioshift
    Thank You Wizards of the Coast. We Simic mages needed some more "tricky cards". The fact its common makes it better for limited, or worse since it is hybrid and can easily be sided in. Will only get better once Dragons Maze comes out and we get to play with all 10 guilds at once. Then there will be Rakdos and Golgari to mess with.

  • posted a message on What plane would you most like to revisit in a new block?
    Speaking of, it's been a long time since Unhinged...


    That is what Wizards should do for the 20th anniversary.

    A cool thing about Dominaria is since whole continent(s) haven't been explored yet they can have a first set and not even tell us it is on Dominaria Grin

    Edit: Sweet, noticed I broke 100 posts.

    Quote from Elite_Inquisitor
    Fallen Empires 2.0 would be awesome for me.


    Quote from Felllix
    While Dominaria would be cool...

    I think I could deal with any plane that we stuck with for more than one block. Odyssey and Onslaught both took place in Otaria, and it was neat to see how things changed with a different focus. I'd love to see this concept revisited in a 3-year super-cycle.


    Fallen Empires, Odyssey and Onslaught all take place in Dominaria. It is a REALLY big place. I think Wizards said it was twice as big as Earth. That being said it will be my choice. But what will also like a set that take place on multiple planes.

  • posted a message on Orzhov Lovers.
    I think Orzhov bleeder has the potential to be tier 1 depending on the kind of support that is printed. What is needed are ways to either punish people for attacking you or targeting your stuff or just plain stop them from doing so. Cards like that 1/1 rare for bw definitely get my hopes up.

    Thank You both.
    Segoth, I wasn't doubting your answer, I wanted clarification on the whole banding/trampling thing

    Even when banding is involved?

    I hate banding.


    3) The blocking creatures must still be assigned lethal damage before any can trample over.


    Could they just assign leathal damage to one creature, say the 2/2 and 1 to himself?
