This is a question I spend alot of time pondering, I have posted it on many boards, so let's see what comes up here. I think this question will be the question the eventually destroys religion in general or makes it stronger over time...
The question is: Do you believe the universe is Finite or Infinate?
For those of you who haven't followed this debate, many scholars lately have brought up the idea that the universe may truly be infinate. Let me briefly describe both sides before I put up my ideas.
Finite: This means that the universe has a SET size, and that either
A) Some higher power created it, or
B) It was a random phenomonon(sp?).
I tend not to believe in a higher power of any kind, as I study universal physics deeply, and it seems to come apart from religion more and more over time. I don't dislike religion, I think it is amazing, but not taken literally. I think that all religions are the same, just a story to get accross the point that all we want is self-happiness, however we should go about achieving that.
As for the Infinate universe, and this is harder to explain:
It basically means that the universe was NOT created, and therefor there are NO origins...it has always been there and always will be there. Most people who support this theory state that if we lived in a infinate universe, EVERYTHING is possible, and EVERYTHING happens, somewhere, sometime, and somehow. It can be as small as just in a diffrent world, 1 milisecond a dust particle moves half a centimeter left instead of right, and it changed the world forever(butterfly effect, though this is just my understanding).
The main downside to this is that, if everything is possible, then the law of physics are not true, unless you follow string theory, which believes time can bend, and therefor physics as we know them could be right, though i doubt complete.
My main question is: If the universe is finite OR infinate, what is the point of life? IMO, in a finite universe, some kind of higher power is MUCH more probable, and therefor life can be understood to an extent. In an Infinate universe, we would be so minute, it almost seems as if there is no point, and this can lead down a very pessimistic road...which isn't good for your health
IMO as a player, i'd rather have it be a draw than a match loss because he cheated. I mean, with a draw you still have a chance at the top, and it won't hurt your reputition as much as if you were suspected as a cheater.
New Dual Land
Land
When New Dual Land comes into play, you may pay 2 life. If you do, place a land counter on New Dual Land.
T: Add R or G to your mana pool. You may play this ability only if there is a land couner on New Dual Land.
something like that.. someone may have already said this, didnt have time to read through all the posts.. lol
It would also have to have T: Add 1 to your mana pool
This is true because they stopped printing lands with no effects...so even if you don't pay the 2 life it would have to do something...
I didnt think Kamigawa was that shlt you cant really compare it to leigions cause Kamigawa has three sets that are all pretty under powered i didnt mind that so much the thing that annoys me the stupid Japanesse names that no one knows how to pronounse
At least they can spell
And sorry I don't take the time to learn how-to pronounce names, when it's just easier to say it how I want to, as long as everybody understand.
Just a wierd idea...people have been mentioning how this could affect multiplayer, and we just got a new set of multiplayer rules...maybe WotC is trying to set something up for us?
Just FYI to all...you can look in the gatherer, and it will show pictures of all the cards relaeased in diffrent expansions....just click on your card tag and you can see a pic from each expansion
The official spoiler should be available on wizards.com at midnight (EDT) tonight; the 9th Edition Oracle text is already live in Gatherer (but the artwork isn't there yet).
d:^D
Check the gatherer....it's had the artwork since yesterday morning :\
Oct 4, 2004 - Humility changes abilities, power, and toughness, so it is applied after any type-changing effects. If Humility and Opalescence are in play, always apply Opalescence before Humility.

Ideas on the matter are most welcome

Bombs
Removal
Evasion
Aggro
Krap
And in that order
At least they can spell

Um no...the Started 2000 doesn't have a symbol on it :\
Check the gatherer....it's had the artwork since yesterday morning :\
If you check Ebay, they are ALREADY selling for $200-300 :O:O:O
Wow. I want one.

I like to set squirrels on fire.
And I can't spell.
Ironic? Maybe.
