Quote from DementedKirby »Interesting... I will probably just maintain my primers here just because they have some history and have been here for a while. There's lots of discussions and I believe that they'll still be useful if I'm still able to edit and maintain them. That being said, the staff here at MTGSalvation have made the experience and forums an amazing place and their dedication deserves way more merit and credit than can be given. I hope that, once MTGNexus is up and running, an announcement can be made and thus be able to create an account there (and hopefully no one takes my username ). It won't be easy juggling between being active in two different sites, but I will probably only be attentive here to my primers. If the exodus towards MTGNexus is a certain thing, then I will join that immigration.
If the people who make up the relevant parts of the community to you are moving, then going over there could be reasonable. If not, then, at least personally, the community is way more important than the staff. In my case, at this point in time, I'm almost exclusively focused on the Mafia side of things, with the occasional foray into EDH. The EDH section is losing a number of serious people to this schism, so I'm probably just forgoing the game altogether for the time being; I haven't played Magic since August of last year anyways, if I recall correctly. Both communities will probably change, but it's a question of convenience of staying here or loyalty to people who are moving, the primary group of which and force behind which is staff. Both sites are at an unstable state. This site needs a staff that is actively focused on it and appreciates the community, Nexus will need people who like the old staff of Salvation enough to want to be there, and doesn't have the funding or people to be as stable as Salvation potentially can be at this time.
That said, as a user, you probably won't even notice most of it. The staff are just people, just the same as users. Their authority is an artificial concept. So make sure that whatever you choose, it's based on your feelings about the community, not just following either the staff to Nexus or just staying here for the site structure itself, as either way, you'll likely end up disappointed if that's the reasoning for your choice.
No problem! In fact, I'd encourage it. I'll probably try to add even more detail in to the original post some point soon. I also need to acquire and test a Silence the Believers, though I'm currently finding Tawnos's Coffin more appealing. I may test Arcbound Reclaimer as well, if I can get my hands on one.
I like pulling Shahrazad into the subgame with a Wish.
Moxen being unbanned would likely have two effects for the most part, to varying degrees:
1. A slight increase in 5-color decks.
2. A noticeable increase in player dissatisfaction.
Xiahou Dun means that I essentially have drawn it, if I've played it.
Hmm... I got one for 120ish, if I recall correctly. Maybe a beat-up Italian version?
Don't see why not...
I liked Praetor's Grasping for an opponent's Demonic Tutor to tutor up my Demonic Tutor to tutor up some combo/synergy piece.
I might suggest cutting Chalice, Bauble, or one of the non-creature cards with the word "Dark" in their names from your list. It may seem a little crazy, but I've seen consideration for cutting Phyrexian Arena recently, beyond the Liliana consideration.
I like using Ashnod's Coupon, then putting out 200 Cheatyfaces while the person is gone.
If you can acquire a Nether Void, that card is also the nuts, but it is really expensive.
