    Except it is. It's a European country and an Asian country, not just one of the two. Just because most of the USA's population lives on the coasts does not mean the Midwest doesn't exist.


    Except it is NOT.

    Geographically Russia sits on both Europe and Asia continent, hence the concept of "Eurasia" super-continent. However part of your territory spans in Asia do not make you "part of Asia". Its the population and capital that matters. No, really.

    Guam is within the boundary of Asia. Does that make US part of Asia?
    Guyane françaisert sits on the South America. Does that make France part of South America?

    Or perhaps you could just ask a Russian. Oh wait. The one replying you, mr. druken bear, is a russian.

    Quote from Boing
    Since when was Russia not part of Asia?


    Excuse me, but this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my entire life!

    ... His point was that Russia is in Asia,


    except its not. Most of Russia's population lives in Europe. Moscow's on the europe continent. Call it by population or by capital, anyone with the least bit of common sense knows that Russia is not part of Asia.

    That's off topic tho. Personally I found Japanese to be much more artistic than those korean, all korean characters look like some floor tiles to me.

    we were joking about this a bit earlier. given its "maro said", it might very well end up with something like B:deals 13 damage to each creature and you lose 13 life, and 3BB as additional cost pay X life oppo discard X card. fits the theme! Wink

    speaking of a five-ability liliana, with magical 4cc, how about...
    3b
    +1: target opponent discard 1 card
    +1: target opponent lose 1 life and you gain 1 life
    +1: draw 1 card and lose 1 life
    +1: return 1 creature card from your graveyard to your hand
    +1: target creature -1/-1 ueot
    1
    , and call it Liliana - Won Won Won Won Won Won? Grin

    Just have to ask again - what is modern exactly? Everything with the modern cardframe? Can't check the WotC website since it's blocked at work, so would one be so kind to enlighten me?


    Yes - that means legal sets are 8th- and MD5-. It's meant to replace (over)extended and, as you can see, the banned list is built with basically two principles in mind:
    1 - No turn three I win deck, and
    2 - No no-brainer Legacy port.

    Most archo did not survive beyond this, with the sole exception of Darkzoo...

    Rules are rules dude, why do you keep fighting a case where you messed up? If you murder a hapless person in cold blood and then proceed to write the Great American Novel, you'll still be convicted. The rules clearly say "don't post 'inb4lock'" so just don't do it even if you plan to follow with a stream of wisdom...


    stop feeding the troll, pls.

    on topic: we are looking for some staples come from these syn cards, there's really no point to make a promo if no one's buying it. people need something more than "flavor" last time i heard..

    Congrats, you have Haste.

    *cough cough*

    Has anyone translated Puresteel Paladin or that first card on the second page yet?

    I really think Puresteel should have lifelink T_T

    And that second card I mentioned looks like a 0/4 wall for 2 mana with a killer ability. . .

    Meet your new friend, Cyclopean Snare and Obelisk of Undoing Smile

    I mean, if you would pay 5 to tap a creature, its not unlikely that you are willing to pay the same to ping, right? right? ... oh well, thats the argue anyway.


    FYI -
    Cyclopean Snare is an uncommon, too, and its not too far away.

    heh. Its been screamed "fake" by everyone in that post. No one's seeing it coming I guess :). That's worth a cookie, I say.

    the Ascension "cycle"'s having two left....its becoming more and more interesting. Could be the set's pick for Johnny.

    Quote from Dragoon26
    If I may backtrack a little bit, I would like to hear some others opinions on my card from the January finals, if that's okay. Some judges were saying it was too weak, other said it was overpowered, one said it was pretty much perfectly balanced. The flavor interpretations were also sporadic as well. Just wanting to hear some feedback.


    * haven't go through judges' comments yet *

    He's definitely better as a creature instead of a planeswalker, no matter whether the opponent's playing white / blue. The planeswalker form's just too weak...for quite a few turns' charge, you'd expect something like Chandra. But even if your card do reads "-all: 9 damage to target player" (meaning that you could active this ability as soon as you get 4 charges) it's still questionable because of its survivability. I think most of times we could pretty safely ignore the planeswalker part, and his first half's more like Ghost-Lit Raider instead of basically uncounterable Grim Lavamancer. The former's never seen play in the environment as weak as kamigawa. In limited your card rocks, that's for sure, but I don't think we are taking limited into consideration when the card's rare :p

    Blue Faerie:
    it's simply hard to imagine a WGU token deck featuring this. Card itself's fine but I'd say people who trying to combo something out are not playing tokens and who do play tokens will find this card to be pretty mediocre in their deck (that most times they are only able to find 1/*). the problem is: tokens and combos are pretty much two directions (apart from RAV's chrous lets say), and who play spells that create really big tokens (CotH comes to mind) probably don't want a three-color'd 2/2 into their deck.

    I'll submit the card that was once used in the FCC and was demanded to be scary OP, to see if it fits current meta:

    Inner Peace - 1WW
    Enchantment - Aura
    Enchanted Creature
    Creatures share a color with enchanted creature can't attack.
