You thought they'd do another Selecting The Core Set promotion, didn't you?

[Mr. President]

I certainly didn't. They kept dropping comments in their articles about "Oh, we were sure the Llanowar Elves would get in", "We thought Crusade should have been a mortal lock", "My first reaction to the idea was 'No way.'"

I was wrong.

Point of discussion:

They're taking out Birds of Paradise after all. I knew it. They claim they'll be reprinted in the next large expansion, but still

[Skanky Burns]

Eh?

[DrSpike]

MTG stuff perhaps?

[Skanky Burns]

Whats Micheal got to do with this? I don't see this information helping him in bulldozing his opponents arguements...

[Jamski]

I don't think MtG replies to any of these threads. I think is some kind of in-joke with Mr President...

Anyway... *casts mod summoning*

Toast?

[Skanky Burns]

I don't know. I guess this might be a factual thread, but without reading it, how the hell would I be able to tell? :shrug:

[DrSpike]

Hehe, I meant Magic: The Gathering. That's what I thought the thread was about, since most threads in this forum I don't understand are about it.

[Skanky Burns]

A thread Spikie doesn't understand? No!

[Illuminatus]

Couldn`t there be ONE general thread about MTG?

[DinoDoc]

No.

[Trokair]

Well, you have to see to going trend anyway. Wizard runs out of ideas=puts stars from old sets into their new sets (ala wrath, birds, etc. etc. etc.). Word of advice: Stop while you are ahead. I got out when Exodus hit because $20 dollars for a computer game was much better than $150 worth of booster boxes. Magic has been cheapened by greed. They don't care what you want.

[Mr. President]

You know, I'm tempted.

If not now, then maybe after Kamigawa. Right now I feel that I want to get some of the Japanese-themed cards before I retire again.

[Trokair]

I still play with my old decks sometimes and I destroy most of the fad decks that roll through every new expansion. People don't play me anymore because they are tired of being owned

[DinoDoc]

What set did you go out on? Depending on if it was Urza block, I can see why no one would want to play you.

Well, the Tempest saga had a lot of very fast creatures and spells. Onslaught, by contrast, was rather slow and had a much higher average mana cost. I could easily imagine a Tempest-era red deck rolling over an Onslaught-era creature deck.
