If cards in demand are like bitcoin, then all these random specs are like the bazillions of altcoins that people made to try to be in on the ground floor of something

It's funny how much better Breakthrough for 0 is than One With Nothing in pretty much any of the edge cases that would otherwise exist for its use.

I would pay moneys to watch someone try to cast One With Nothing, attempting to target their opponent, at Competitive REL. You know it's happened at least once.

One With Nothing was at least talked about as a sideboard card in the run up to the post-Guildpact Pro Your, although I don't remember if anyone actually played it.

You know, I keep asking myself, why does Scuttling Death seem better than it actually is? And then I remembered Kamigawa block was the time damage still went on the stack.

Honestly, the rapidly increasing cost of the game is the reason I've all but quit playing, with a little help from LGS drama giving me the final push. I play on most Mondays nights with some of the dudes I've been playing with for years at one of our homes, usually legacy and a little modern with a mix of proxies and real cards, and the occasional draft (we have box of conspiracy the four of us plan to crack and draft the next two times we meet up). Standard, while interesting enough, is well beyond what I care to pay for a rotating format (I'm somewhat tempted to put modern under the same umbrella here), and the combination of a rapidly increasing player base and the #mtgfinance autists have made buying the cards I need to finish out legacy decks such a long-term prospect that it's just not worth it for as often as I need to actually have the cards for decks. Combine that with an often unpleasant player base and a design philosophy that's slowly drifting away from the styles of play that I personally enjoy (not that that's any big injustice, the game has just evolved), and I don't see the need to spend much money on MtG any more over spending it doing other things. As far as changing the game to make it more appealing, a lot of my suggestions would involve going back to the way things were when I first started playing in the 90's, so they're not worth seriously considering (except getting rid of mythic rares and the reserved list. gently caress those things). Also, Toshimo is consistently the best poster in the thread.

[Lottery of Babylon] As much as I hate staying up until 2:47am everyday, nights like tonight are reassuring and prove that it's actually all worth it. 19 Blood Lust @ $2.5/ea and 30 Big Game Hunters @ $.4/ea. Just by staying up a few extra hours, I made over $300. This isn't a brag, it's a reminder to myself that what i'm doing is worth it. [/Lottery of Babylon] Congrats bro, you made a days' pay.

With Berserk you get a worse version of standard's Become Immense/Temur Battle Rage combo. Admittedly I don't know what the power level of 93/94 is. e: a piece of art from one of the leaked cards appears to have been confirmed as real. Lends even more credibility to them. http://clintcearley.deviantart.com/art/Lamplighter-of-Selhoff-MTG-589542386 Note the  looking thing on the right.

Note that having mouth-tentacles doesn't automatically denote extra-Innistrad horror. Cf. Skaab Ruinator. That said, that's some dang nice art any way you slice it.
