    What you said is cold and horrible. Do you understand (this is serious use of a Marilyn Manson quote fro ma song) that "killing is killing, whether done for duty, profit, or fun," (Marilyn Manson).

    What horrible, bastard of a man did was take a life from this world whom may have changed more lives for the better.

    My sincere sollace and hope-you-find-a-way-to-get-throu-this-tragedy goes out to the family of the victim.


    You realize they were being sarcastic and he was trying to make the exact same point you just made, right?

    It's horrible that she wasn't able to protect herself from him, and that he chose to take this road.

    Please everyone ignore this statement. Running 60 cards in limited is NEVER something you should do.


    QFT. The leaner the deck, the better. There's a reason next to no one makes decks(in any format) with more cards than the minimum.

    Siege-gang would rock, lol.

    Would they print Siege-gang with pile driver(again) though?

    Quote from bmattox
    Tokens are printed for sets that include a card that makes tokens of that type. They're not going to print Xth tokens for Time Spiral cards, they're going to print Xth tokens for Xth cards.


    I know, those were just cards I could think of off-hand that generated 'common' token types. Black = zombies, red = goblins, white = soldiers etc.

    16 card booster packs? Nice. I loves 10th, lmao. I'm a sucker for gimmicks though.

    Mhmm, it's what I told him. He just wanted an official ruling. Thanks again. Grin

    Alrightie, a friend of mine wants clarification on Stormfront Riders.

    Play Riders.

    Does the return 2 creatures ability trigger the token generating?

    And can you return the Riders to your hand using it's own ability, to repeatedly recast it and generate tokens?

    Thanks in advance

    Zombie tokens eh? Hmm...wonder what the others(I'm guessing a cycle) could be? Soldiers, Goblins, Saprolings and... Faeries?

    I love that WotC is printing things like Tokens and Textless cards in sets. For those people still waiting for their play group to get sanctioned for FNM and the like, textless cards/tokens are extremely hard to come. Their inclusion in sets means that some are easy to come by, without ruining the value of reward cards and the like.

  • posted a message on Flashback can be played when..?
    Quote from darkasecas
    Flashback just allows you to play the card from the graveyard, you only can flashback at any time you could play it normally, i.e. in this case, as the cry is a sorcery, you can play it only in your main phase, when the stack is empty and you have priority


    Okay, sweet. Thanks for the quick reply.

  • posted a message on Flashback can be played when..?
    I was just wondering when flashback can be played?

    Came up in a game where I had marshalling cry in the graveyard and played it during combat. Is that possible?

    My opponent didn't think it was possible to play a Sorcery card's flashback as an instant. Is he correct?

    If we didn't have legends in 10th I might agree. Heck, if BoP wasn't in there I would say golds in 10th is impossible. But 10th seems to be the core set of the impossible. Grin It can't be Loxodon Punisher, which is a favorite card of mine, because it has a staff and Punisher didn't have a staff. Honestly, if its a rare its probably Loxodon Gatekeeper and if its a common/uncommon its probably Loxodon Mystic.


    I dislike Gatekeeper nearly as much as the Hierarch, lol. I wouldn't mind seeing Loxodon Mystic though.

    BTW: Gwen rocks!

    Yes, CMC is defined by the mana cost and it never changes, no matter what'if you pay to play it


    Quote from Sutherlands
    The spell's converted mana cost is ALWAYS the symbols in the top-right added together for one number. Errant Ephemeron's CMC is ALWAYS 7. So... yes.


    Except a card with an X in it's casting cost. Such as Demonfire. While it's on the stack, it's CMC is X + R(ie. if X =5, then CMC = 6). In any other zone, X = 0.

    My first thought when I saw the Loxodon art was 'Oh god, please don't be Hierarch!'.

    Will they put a gold card in Xth though?

  • posted a message on [LW] New Duals?
    I think it's unlikely they're going to reprint yet another set of dual lands. Though I could see a cycle of enemy color duals to 'complete' the duals printed in FS.

    It just seems unlikely(to me) that WOTC will continue making duals every new set. The painlands are plenty, and knowing they'll be around for another year kind of annoys me. I was hoping WOTC would let them go for a year or two(or more) before bringing them back.

    *puts on an old man's voice* Why I remember back in the day when we only played with basic lands. None of them there complicated rare lands. In fact, basic lands were rare back in the day! We had to walk 15 miles, uphill, both ways, through 20 ft of snow...*rambles off*

    *shrugs* I'm hoping WOTC lets the dual land craze end in FS.
