italofoca posted a message on What is the Flavor of Phyrexian Mana?Phyrexian mana adds two things, mechanically.Posted in: Magic Storyline
Mechanic: Pay life to cast spells instead of mana. Flavor: Phyrexians can extract energy from living things (destroying then in the process) as showed in the concepts of Phyrexian Lens and Phyrexian Altar. The PW do it to himself in order to generate energy for the spell instead of using a landbond.
Mechanic: Cast spell of colors you can't produce mana. Flavor: In magic, artificial things can be conjured by any kind of mana and they can simulate what any kind of spell can do. A Mono Green PW can grab a Disruptive Scepter and do something akin to black mind magic. Phyrexian spells represents phyrexian artificial nature by allowing the PW to cast a spell outside the colors of his land bounds, the very same thing artifacts do.
I like phyrexian mana a lot from a flavor stand point. The PW that learns with phyrexian behaves like a artificer, simulating many effects he can't do without artificial magic. But instead of well engineered power plants (see how artifact decks such as tron use a mana rock artifact to ramp to a bigger mana rocks which is used to ramp into even bigger mana rocks or untap artifacts) he sacrifices his own health. -

mikeyG posted a message on Overzealous moderatorsPosted in: Community DiscussionQuote from StardustYou're right that it could be tricky at times, mikey, but my question back would be, "Does it really matter?" I mean, this is only spam we're talking about. Sure it's disruptive enough that we should still be enforcing it, but having the odd spam post slip through is not a big deal.
It doesn't matter to me, but there are those who may see all of this as inconsistency and disagree with it. Even if that's not a significant barrier to implementing Macius' idea, I think we're better off going into it recognizing what aspects of it may be a concern. If nothing else, that awareness may prevent contestable situations from brewing in the first place.
As for discretion, you're right that some might complain, but we'll always have people complaining about that for as long as we're still enforcing the rules against trolling. That's 100% mod discretion. But again, if we reverse a few spam warnings, it's really not a big deal. No one will get away with that trick twice.
Very true.
Mods are chosen for their good judgement. They should be allowed to use it.
I absolutely agree, I just think we should recognize that utilizing that discretion doesn't always end well. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
