You know, I have been trying my best not to post unless I get a real urge to, and boy my fingers are itching now.
How the **** do you have the nerve to complain about these reprints and losing money when you do something this stupid? I don't even care of I get infracted for this, you've got to be the biggest idiot I've ever read and boy I have met some characters on the internet and you take the cake after naladude.
I feel the same way dude, every time I read a post of his I have a very difficult time believing he isn't a troll.
On topic, I just want to echo the aforementioned sentiments of "originals are worth more" and "cards are for playing." I can guarantee that there will be no significant price crashes because of this product.
I hope it stays that way. Playing against Island-Go is painfully boring. Waiting 20 minutes before my opponent plays High TidePalinchron is miserable, an agonizing 4 minutes every time I play a card while he "thinks" about countering it, and every time he wastes the clock deciding what to put back with Brainstorm. Even if he can't win he can still snatch a draw. Either way it is the antithesis of fun.
If blue has to "think" to outplay the opponent, let them figure out the right ratio of Negate/Essence Scatter to put in their deck.
That's ridiculous, saying one archetype has a right to exist in a tournament setting and another shouldn't show up in any capacity is pretty hypocritical. Combo and control decks are just as much a part of Magic as are aggro decks, especially in a format Wizards is trying to push as a "legacy alternative" that they can more easily regulate. There will be people who say Wizards is trying to cater to the aggro players by aggressively banning control cards and frankly I agree with them. When someone first starts playing mtg, what colors are they usually drawn to? My guess is, in order, green, red, white, black and blue. Why is blue at the bottom? Because it doesn't have hueg d00dz to plop down and swing sideways, it's not a straightforward color for them to just "get." So what does Wizards do? They try to make some blue cards that are similar to cards in other colors and some times they go too far, like with delver. Blue as a color has caught the most flak from the more casual player base and I am getting a little tired of opening up Magic General and seeing threads titled "(Insert blue card) a mistake/too OP/killing the game?" Some colors are better than others and it is unfortunate that most of the fundamental elements of MTG are covered by one color most of the time, especially in eternal formats, but incessantly stating "I hate control :mad:" is not going to fix anything. I guess complainers are going to complain no matter what so there is really no use complaining about them.
But why should blue get all the hate? For the past couple of standard seasons I never once saw anyone complain that white got to answer pretty much anything with either catch-all answers or hosers that basically read target black or reddeck loses the game. People forget that it wasn't just Big Bad Jace that made caw-blade what it was, it was a perfect storm involving quite a lot of other cards but it's all too easy to point at Jace 2 and scream about how he ruined the game because he's blue.
Edit: Also I never understood why players, especially "pro" players, need so long to decide whether to counter a spell or not. Same goes for sensei's divining top activations.
Edit 2: Furthermore, Jace 2 continued to be not such a great card until Shards block rotated out of standard. It wasn't like Jace 2 was printed and then he was instantly the second coming of blue, BBE kept him (and most blue decks) in check for a long time.
I would like a distinction made between The Rock and Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson. The Rock died at Summerslam 2002, Dwayne Johnson appears on WWE TV every 3 months or so to pop a rating and do whatever he wants, real WWE superstars be damned. How the hell are you going to do exactly what you claim you hate John Cena for doing? Everyone in the locker room gets the spotlight stolen from them just as much by you as they do by him because you swoop in on your white horse and declare yourself in the main events of major PPVs and for what? You wan't to be WWE champion again? That belt doesn't mean a god damn thing unless Cena is holding it because he is the only one who ever gets to main event. And this is supposed to set up for Rock/Cena II at WM29? Give me a ****ing break.
Don't get me wrong, I love The Rock, he is undoubtedly one of the all time greats. I don't like Dwayne Johnson because he is a ****ing sycophant only looking out for #1.
America is a "nation under God". It says so in the pledge of allegiance. You don't have to believe in it, but you better damn well respect it.
Speaking as a Christian, I'm tired of all these atheists with a "holier-than-thou" (ironic, no?) attitude. I get it, you don't believe in God. That's your right. I'm not offended. Do you get offended too when you get Christmas presents or chocolates at Easter? Probably not.
This, also. The point is, they didn't have to sing it, and then the dirty Atheists bullied the innocent Christians into not being able to profess their faith in God.
Actually the Pledge of Allegiance had no mention of god until the 1950's when that phrase was added to further distinguish capitalist America from communist Russia.
Also, the phrase you quoted about men being created with unalienable rights is featured in the Declaration of Independence, which holds no legal power, and not the Constitution, which is the foundation for the laws in America.
