Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Fraying Omnipotence

i use this in my kaervek the merciless kill everyone deck as a way to speed up the game. yes it hurts me as well, but it is well worth it when the game keeps dragging on. i think that is one of its best uses, to knock everyone down so lethal comes much quicker.

Maybe, but that's the crux of the problem. It isn't worth banning a card because some people feel uncomfortable about the represented fictional individual just standing there in the artwork.
didnt wizards just do that a few months ago when they banned invoke prejudice and the others?

Re: Topical Discussion of the Official Multiplayer Ban List

I'll give you planeswalkers as commanders as well as the partner mechanic, as those were things Wizards pushed and the RC had to adapt to (although since one of the members of the RC is a WotC employee it's not like they were blindsided and they did have an opportunity to offer input during the des...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Trostani's Summoner

seven mana for a small army isnt too bad. unfortunately the army it gives doesnt pose much a threat without some other assistance. im sure this plays ok in a token matters build especially if you have some blink effects. id rate it a 4 out of 10.

Large paper tourneys cancelled indefinitely. Small FNM tourneys are on hold until next year at the earliest. Meanwhile, digital players can use their cards 24/7, play games with friends, and take part in both large and small tournaments, starting right this very second. It's only a matter of time b...

ive never cast an akroma, angel of wrath but i have put her in play for free with kaalia of the vast multiple times. i think if you arent paying eight mana for her she becomes a much better card. that said the only deck i would ever use her in would be a kaalia type deck that is cheating her in and ...

Ban tutors; who objects?
i do. besides the fact of adding more than 500 cards to the ban list it would likely destroy certain strategies along with some of the fundamental concepts of this format.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Sprout Swarm

i would consider this card as either a theme card or as a payoff card. as a theme card i would use it in any saproling themed deck or thalid deck. themed decks tend to be less worried about the power level of the deck so lower powered but on theme cards like this tend to be an acceptable inclusion. ...

Re: championship game

You really have to allow 3 pods to enable good commander pod layout. It is rare (impossible?) that you have a number of people who cannot be divided evenly into groups of 3 or 4. 9 = 3 x 3 11 = 3 x 4, 1 x 3 7 = 1 x 4, 1 x 3 89 = 20 x 4, 3 x 3 94 = 22 x 4, 2 x 3. ------------------------------------...
