My favorite part of DBZ was when piccolo destroyed the moon and there were no permanent consequences. My favorite zelda game involves dropping a moon on people.

I hope this upcoming block involves destroying moons, or even better, dropping the moon on towns.

Sigma's final form in MMX looks like majora's mask so obv he would hate the moon.

Yea, the problem with dismember is mainly that it is way too good, same with mental misstep. They just overestimated the value of 4 life.

I think dismember is a really great card. It is however never been too good. Cards that are "too good" rarely show up as 1 of's and 4 life is pretty relevant.. It shows up in so many types of decks because it is very flexible mana wise.

The line for "too good" is much higher than many people in this thread view it as if we're calling a perfectly fine card like Dismember too good.

Magic cosmology seems pretty vague, really. Is a Plane supposed to be a whole universe? A planet? Are there multiple worlds in a plane? Are places like Tarkir and Innistrad even actually spherical planets? What is Zendikar actually shaped like? And what the hell is going on with Alara?

Just like star wars single-biome planets, you can consider them the same equivalence as a town or city or small region, whatever the need may be. They just like to call them something evocative of a larger dimension, in the same way yugioh gives its monsters thousands of points of power.

I assumed they were all at least planets, to keep from people wandering off the edge, but if Innistrad is really the equivalent of the Scottish Highlands drifting through space alone, that's pretty good.

I posted about this recently with Birchlore Rangers, which also "taps" when it's ability is activated. I say "taps" because you can tap it to pay the cost as normal; it just untaps and then taps again, this time for real.
