The Daily Shot: Why Mark Rosewater Ignored My Lance (Oh Yeah, And A Prerelease Report)

So I’m walking around some event and I see Mark Rosewater. Of course I march right up to him and whip out my Lance. He gives me a funny look, like he doesn’t understand why I’m showing him my Lance.
“Care to explain this?” I say, holding the Lance closer so that he can view it.”It’s bent,” he responds, shrugging his shoulders. I’m a little miffed at him ignoring the more obvious issue – the fact that my Lance is underpowered.

StarCity’s Down, And We’re Not Happy About It Either

Unfortunately,
folks, while we’re switching database servers,
the portion of our site that serves up all
the nifty articles and whatnot will be down
until Wednesday – which means that it’ll
probably be more like Thursday, given our
server guy. Until then, feel free to order
from our cart, and accept our sincerest
delays.

The
good news: After all of this is said and
done, the slooooow delays in getting StarCity
to load should be over – and allow us to
move into Phase Two of all the nifty things
we’ll be offering come the end of July.
Huzzah!

SPECIAL
ADDITIONAL NOTE: You may or may not be able
to access old articles at this time, but
I left the links at the top and to the side
active anyway. Feel free to browse; at the
time I wrote this, I could access yesterday’s
updates and the writer archives, but not
the Tech centers. Experiment at your own
risk; remember, we’re in the middle of a
mess. (Sorry about the mess.)

SCG Daily – The Sixth Sense of Magic: Intuition

Good work, Sherlock!

Compost My Eye (A Statement, Not A Request)

Why don’t I lose to Compost with my mono-black deck, whose official listing is,”Compost, 1G, Enchantment. Whenever a black card goes to an opponent’s graveyard, ride that player until he or she squeals like a piggy. Squeal, piggy, squeal”? Well, the answer’s all about what Compost does NOT affect in black’s game.

The Real Story Behind Judgment

Wizards has divorced the storyline, making sure the plots of the books and the flavor text on the cards aren’t too interlaced. So what happens when characters start getting flavor text that’s out of character?

CASUAL FRIDAYS #132: Judging The Judgments On Judgment

Tormented by the odyssey of many players to put set titles in their set review articles, Anthony conducts an invasion in alliance with the legends who live in the stronghold in Urza’s homelands in hopes of averting an exodus, a planeshift, or worst of all, the apocalypse itself. Not your typical tempest in a teacup!

FINAL JUDGEMENT: Good-bye Doesn’t Mean Forever

Most of you who are regular readers my columns know that I’m in the US Air Force. Now I’m getting the opportunity to go off to somewhere a little more exciting for a few months.

A Wasted Opportunity to Salvage White

I couldn’t help but hope that Judgment would make up for that neglect in spades, giving us white cards on par with the black Renaissance in Torment – and man, what a letdown. So what would I have done?

The Daily Shot: Saturday’s Prerelease, Part II – Scoopin’ For Prizes!

Game 2 is a fast start for him and it’s all about Ben Affleck. What’s Ben Affleck? Ben Affleck is Arcane Teachings.”Affleck, you the bomb on Phantoms yo’!” But hey, I got twenty packs even though Ben Affleck kicked my ass. That’s BEN AFFLECK.

From The Top To The Bottom: Judgment Green In Odyssey Limited

Genesis would induce your opponent to enter the”vomit step” even if it were the only creature in your deck, as it can bring itself back to your hand during upkeep. That’s the obvious part. But why is Ironshell Beetle overhyped, and what card is underhyped?

Another Day, Another Set, Another Site

What else can we say? NATE HEISS IS WRITIN’ FOR US! And he starts off with his take on Judgment – if you are looking for something to base a deck around or just want to know the good cards to trade for, let Nate fill ya in.
