Simple answer: It puts a huge burden on the store to keep track of all of it. Now you are letting the customer store their "money" in your hands....that's a lot of added responsibility when you are already trying to keep track of your stock, running game nights, keep your business running, etc.
On Channel Fireball's website, they have a strange video player to play their videos. My problem is that with Firefox with updated Adobe Flash Player, the videos crash all-the-time. I tried it in Internet Explorer and still crashed.
Is this happening with anybody else? If so how did you fix it?
I was checking out the new spoiled "Destroy target Human" card and it got me thinking about when they were first talking about introducing the Human creature type. At the time most people didn't like the idea, and one of the biggest arguments against was that the possibility of having a card that said "Destroy all Humans" or "Destroy target Human" was just so...weird.
So I just think it's crazy it took them 10 years to finally feel it's time.
(I know there are a couple of other cards that deal with killing Humans specifically, but I think they are all from this block?)
This seems like the spiritual successor to Leagues. Those let you get a ton of play time for your money. Here's hoping they end up doing this to formats that actually matter and have a healthy design.
This seems dirty, but not being there, can't say. Would have to interview, as said above, and find out exactly what was said. It's still dirty, though.
Unless severe rules changes happened in the past 4 years, these are all because the game uses the Last Known Information for permanents when it needs to resolve a spell or ability and the permanent doesn't exist anymore. In these cases, it needs to know what the permanent was that is dealing the combat damage, a "snapshot" of it before it left the battlefield, and that snapshot included that it had deathtouch, lifelink, or what have you, because it's a part of the damage it deals.
However that doesn't include triggered abilities. The creature actually has to be on the battlefield for it to trigger. If he's not around to see it, it never triggers. That's because that trigger isn't a part of the damage that is being dealt; it's an entirely seperate ability that just happens to trigger on that damage being dealt.
Damn, they butchered combat tricks. I just read all that info that was linked. That's alot of changes. All pretty easy to grasp but wow, they butchered combat! Makes Sakura-Tribe Elder a bit worse eh... Not to mention Mogg Fanatic.
Ravnica was the last set that was out when I still played. I heard there have been some major rules changes involving how combat damage doesn't use the stack anymore, etc. Anybody have a link to something that goes over all the major rules changes in that time?

Instant (uncommon)Twinstrike deals 2 damage to each of two target creatures.
Hellbent - Destroy those creatures instead if you have no cards in hand.
Not if you hit him with Helix before the bat tokens come into play...yes they have to leave the mana open. He also goes nuts with multiple blind hunters.:)
I thought you meant in a "omg I'm going to die :(" topdeck situation.
If it's sanctioned. If it's strictly among friends and not sanctioned, then it's up to them.
Still, tell your friend to deal with it...the rest of the MTG community has for a long time now.

Thanks!

For reference, here is the article I am talking about: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/rb48
For newer players, I would definitely recommend reading the article, and for old schoolers, it's still a good read.

Oh wait...they DID post it on the Judge list, and Carter WAS wrong.
Look here
Kill this thread, it's suffering must end.
Are you talking limited or constructed?
In limited this is a bomb.
Is this a joke?

Then yeah helix is pretty good there.
