I think pack 2 was a weak pack, though. Almost my whole deck came from packs 1 and 3.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Next time, we need better organization.

Just because you change the group of people you're abusive to it will not change their reaction to you, bro.

Sorry.

Actually I meant that there's too damn many messages in there for it to be easy to organize drafts.

But if you mean your internet posse, I just laugh at them.

Demonic Rising is awesome because of the synergy with Blinkmoth Nexus

1 Blinkmoth = 1 creature
Get 5/5 demon
Get another 5/5 demon

V. good.

Though it would be a great thing to play with, I am not sure if the online version would be of a greater interest that being able to play live against another player.

The last expansion I became familiar with was the 8th edition alongside the goblin deck. And have lost contact with the game since. I wonder what new things are added. Also, some cards seem to have changed already.

If you haven't played sine M10, there's a significant set of rules changes you'll need to learn.

If he was a casual player, probably not. Most casual players didn't know what "damage on the stack" meant in the first place, which is kinda why those assholes changed the rules.

I know. I agreed with fixing the mutavault trick, but the damage on the stack wasn't a change I loved. I mean I understand why, but it still kinda sucks.

The way you used to be able to block with a creature and then sac it and still have it do its combat damage.

They were fixed in the same rules update. Give mutavault -1/-1. Okay, cool. Opponent goes to give it another -1/-1. Reactivate mutavault. It rebecomes a 2/2, then gets -1/-1.

That was an example of a legitimately stupid rules hole that needed to be closed, unlike combat damage on stack, which had real uses.

Are you sure that no longer applies? As far as I know, if I Giant Growth my Mutavault and then re-activate the ability on Mutavault, I have a 2/2.

No, you have a 5/5.

Layer 7B controls P/T setting effects, while layer 7C controls P/T modifying effects.

Previously they were both in the same layer, and thus applied in timestamp order.
