    Joke: something spoken, written, or done with humorous intention.


    Yes, because threats of violence against another person are ****ing hilarious. It's not like people get hurt or even die when someone mails them a bomb or anything.

    You should have been a smudge in your father's underwear.

    you guys are pretty gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just wanted to make sure you were aware.


    Yeah, I can accept this judgment -- but more importantly, what's your point? We already know.

    This IIW, like fanboyism for Westerns in general, refuses to die.

    My favorite Western? Blazing Saddles. trololololol


    Blazing Saddles is an amazing film regardless of genre, an all-time favorite. Truly, you are a man of taste.

    posted a message on why is banding so bad
    In order to explain this, let me post Banding's reminder text:

    (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)

    And the comp rules:
    702.20. Banding
    702.20a Banding is a static ability that modifies the rules for combat.
    702.20b “Bands with other” is a special form of banding. If an effect causes a permanent to lose banding, the permanent loses all “bands with other” abilities as well.
    702.20c As a player declares attackers, he or she may declare that one or more attacking creatures with banding and up to one attacking creature without banding (even if it has “bands with other”) are all in a “band.” He or she may also declare that one or more attacking [quality] creatures with “bands with other [quality]” and any number of other attacking [quality] creatures are all in a band. A player may declare as many attacking bands as he or she wants, but each creature may be a member of only one of them. (Defending players can’t declare bands but may use banding in a different way; see rule 702.20j.)
    702.20d All creatures in an attacking band must attack the same player or planeswalker.
    702.20e Once an attacking band has been announced, it lasts for the rest of combat, even if something later removes banding or “bands with other” from one or more of the creatures in the band.
    702.20f An attacking creature that’s removed from combat is also removed from the band it was in.
    702.20g Banding doesn’t cause attacking creatures to share abilities, nor does it remove any abilities. The attacking creatures in a band are separate permanents.
    702.20h If an attacking creature becomes blocked by a creature, each other creature in the same band as the attacking creature becomes blocked by that same blocking creature.
    Example
    A player attacks with a band consisting of a creature with flying and a creature with swampwalk. The defending player, who controls a Swamp, can block the flying creature if able. If he or she does, then the creature with swampwalk will also become blocked by the blocking creature(s).
    702.20i If one member of a band would become blocked due to an effect, the entire band becomes blocked.
    702.20j During the combat damage step, if an attacking creature is being blocked by a creature with banding, or by both a [quality] creature with “bands with other [quality]” and another [quality] creature, the defending player (rather than the active player) chooses how the attacking creature’s damage is assigned. That player can divide that creature’s combat damage as he or she chooses among any number of creatures blocking it. This is an exception to the procedure described in rule 510.1c.
    702.20k During the combat damage step, if a blocking creature is blocking a creature with banding, or both a [quality] creature with “bands with other [quality]” and another [quality] creature, the active player (rather than the defending player) chooses how the blocking creature’s damage is assigned. That player can divide that creature’s combat damage as he or she chooses among any number of creatures it’s blocking. This is an exception to the procedure described in rule 510.1d.
    702.20m Multiple instances of banding on the same creature are redundant. Multiple instances of bands with other of the same kind on the same creature are redundant.


    Yeah. To say the least, banding is complicated as hell.

    It's the puns. Puns bring out the urge to thank in everyone.

    posted a message on M14, finally no more Jace!
    Quote from RCarlysle
    Jace will make you forget where you put your car keys.


    I dunno, I think you nailed down Jace's basic powers fairly nicely there -- being a dick.

    Actually, except for 1.0, I think that's a running theme for all of Jace's PW cards, come to think of it.

    posted a message on Biggest travesty in magic?
    Everything. Why am I even playing this ****ing game anymore? It's probably just gambling addiction.

    (This, by the way, is a joke. I shouldn't have to explain that, but, just in case.)

    I think that keeping up with Standard is kind of a pain in the neck and I'd love to see 1.X played a little more, just to get a little more value out of my cards. Every time I buy something for Standard, I feel like it's just gonna end up in a junk binder by the time I actually "want" to trade it and it's kind of a major punch in the dick. It's not really Wizards' fault, of course.

    The reserved list bites, but it's mostly just a small stumbling block that means I'll find about half as many shops stocking Undiscovered Paradises.

    I think the thing I miss most is mana burn. It added a whole other strategic and mathematical level to the game -- you had to plan right.

    Quote from Palnar
    I started during Fallen Empires, (which was probably the worst set of all time)


    Come now, any set that includes Tidal Influence can't be the worst set ever. If it was printed now with modern oracle text, it'd be almost unreadable. That is HILARIOUS.

    It's still a terrible set, but it's a terrible set with something hilarious in it.

    We are probably running out of decent names for cards. I get that feeling whenever stupid or crappy names comes out nowadays. Some of them are not even readable stuff.


    Okay, I'll second that. But I also play a card game with cards called things like "Quotidian Assassination," so I might be completely wrong. But sometimes, I feel like some words get repeated way too much and a lot of the card names blur together after a while.
