Blatherdome 4: My Resignation

[Second Harkius]

also i'd like to know what the deal is with these god cards because i thought that's why we had planeswalkers and tarmogoyf didn't predict them so i don't consider them real until that happens

didn't yu-gi-oh have god cards?

google says yes:

Slifer the Sky Dragon (「オシリスの天空竜」 Oshirisu no Tenkūryū - Sky Dragon of Osiris)
Obelisk the Tormentor (「オベリスクの巨神兵」 Oberisuku no Kyoshinhei - Giant God-Soldier of Obelisk)
The Winged Dragon of Ra (「ラーの翼神竜」 Rā no Yokushinryū - Winged God-Dragon of Ra)

there was a time where dark confidant couldn't attack and mogg fanatic could kill two creatures in a single combat.

there was a time where only one person could play geist of saint traft, and only that one person.

I loved UG Shackles, won so many games grinding people down with a ste because they were afraid I'd just drop a Shackles and take their blocker.

STE is best ramp.

[Thrillho]

stacking damage was actually insane and i have no idea how we played magic with it for all those years.

[Second Harkius]

I'll never get to say "damage on the stack" again

I never played with it (in my casual world). I was introduced to the game before 6th Ed. and by the time I picked up a rule book once again, we were already at M10

yea, Nemesis sucked!

[Second Harkius]

actually my first booster pack was from Nemesis

I loved that debate.
"They're dumbing down the game!"
"Well... yeah, it's insanely complex and makes no sense."

edit- dammit Spammy, your spam is getting in the way of my spam!

I cracked this money rare:

[Thrillho]

STE is best ramp.

i disagree but it is very good and the nuances between it and other spells is not worth arguing except in the case of actual broken cards.

[Second Harkius]

It dodges removal and you can pitch it to Force of Will, how has this not taken over Legacy yet?

[Thrillho]

my first booster was a prophecy pack included with an issue of duelist magazine.

you knew what you were getting into

[Pendulum]

My first rare was Demonic Horde.

it's funny because removing damage from the stack makes combat infinitely more complex and makes more spells playable.

damage on the stack was a cruise-control effect and merely allowed you to cheat players out of the game when pitted against those who weren't aware of it.

[Thrillho]

My first rare was Demonic Horde.

pretty sure mine was mageta the lion

[Second Harkius]

remember this cycle of bad boys?

[Pendulum]

For the longest time I wanted the Alpha hordes with the BBB misprint, then I got one and was like "meh." #thatmomentwhenyourealizeyouarenotthesameemokidyouusedtobe

[Yannaria]

3 dollar profit

[Yannaria]

THAT'S WHAT HE DOES

[Yannaria]

I don't remember what my first rare was.

[Kaitscralt]

Sliptide Serpent was on the booster so I was happy when I cracked it as a lad

[iamabadman]

90K RIGHT HERE

this is actually post #91373.

Which means I've already deleted 1373 badman/checkbox posts?

mostly checkbox telling onar to shut the fuck up

[Pendulum]

Plus those posts the Dragon of Grondok burninated.

[Yannaria]

I think it was Rathi Assassin from that Mercenary precon

[Second Harkius]

I remember the first time I got ripped off in a mtg trade: an older kid traded me a Devouring Strossus for my Undermine. that douche.

[Yannaria]

but dude it's an 8 mana 9/9

[Yannaria]

WITH EVASION AND A BUILT IN SAC OUTLET.

[Second Harkius]

an 8 mana 9/9 is awesome when you're 13

[Yannaria]

BUT IT'S A 8 MANA 9/9

[Second Harkius]

WHO IS DA PURP?

[Yannaria]

that guy who ripped you off for the undermine

[Pendulum]

I remember this one guy who hung out at my work tried to build a deck attempting to cheat out a Strossus, but it just wasn't viable for the meta; we all kept yelling at him to just stahp but he dumped hundreds into trying to make it work.

[Pendulum]

That trade was definitely undermined.

[rezombad]

It could have spared us both some snark.

Are you implying snark is some sort of limited, nonrenewable resource?
