If each of those creatures could be blocked by all creatures that the other is blocked by, each creature that's blocking exactly one of those attacking creatures stops blocking it and is blocking the other attacking creature. Activate this ability only during the declare blockers step.

My favorite Middle School deck was my green deck. I would put Lure on Thicket Basilisk, clean out all my opponents creatures, and then kill them with poison counters. That was until my rapscallion friend started running COP Green!!!

I think everybody went through a green stompy phase as a middle schooler. I used to play a lot of hunted wumpus. Only 4 mana for a 6/6????

Had so many games where I would just kill a tapped creature and gain a silly amount of life. Then Revised came out with the clarified text and I was convinced someone had complained to an uncle that worked for Wizards

Originally I thought you had to sacrifice 4 forests each turn to Force of Nature's ability. Then I realized I could run him and CoP: Green together. I was unstoppable... when I drew him, I only had 1 and some craw wurms and a Craw Giant.

Smgdh if you played more than 1 of each Urza's land in your 72 card deck with no way to find them.

I've told this story several times, but my first deck was a BR deck with ok to good removal and bad creatures. The first change I made to it was to add a single Blanket of Night to power up my one Nightmare. I don't know if I cut anything for that Blanket.

wisdomHNOX posted:I played against it on Arena last night. I hadn't seen the deck before that point and was running a very old Izzet Drakes list that didn't have a good way to interact once they went off. It looked like a lot of fun to play, but it was not fun to be on the other side of the table. Milling your whole deck and recurring Mox Ambers for ridiculous amounts of mana seems like itd be a great time. Huey was playing the combo the other day, and it looked absolutely miserable to go through the motions if your opponent doesn’t scoop. Constantly having to select one legendary to keep, and it’s not quite as simple as the operations for making a dozen pestermites

I recall trading a tolarian academy for a shivan dragon in fifth grade. We didnt actually play the game much to be honest we just looked at them for ten minutes at recess.

It took a while for me to find a pet card, including quitting for a bit after Tempest/Stronghold-ish and coming back during Planeshift, but I definitely remember jamming 4 Powerstone Minefields (along with another fun card, Soltari Guerillas) into my R/W soldier deck I played during lunch breaks and after school from Apocalypse to about Scourge. Then Mirrodin came out, everyone was either on Affinity or "Affinity but couldn't afford Ravagers", then the Kamigawa sets came out and I dipped back out until Lorwyn. Stayed in that Standard until Scars, then around Mirrodin Besieged I moved mostly to EDH, occasionally drafting. Still love me some Minefields, whether Powerstone or Light.

The first card I ever owned was a Lord of the Pit that one of my dad's army buddies gave me because I thought it looked cool and he was selling a giant plastic storage crate full of loose cards at a yard sale before he deployed. I had no idea what Magic even was and didn't actually play the game until a few years later. Once I did I put that Lord of the Pit in everything, though, and mono-black has been my favorite archetype ever since. I lost that card a long time ago but I bought another one that just hangs out in my binder now. Also remembering that kinda makes me mad in hindsight because I could have bought that dude's entire storage crate full of cards for like a hundred bucks back then and it would probably be worth enough to buy a house with now. Nobody expected the game to last back then and there's no way those cards would have made it intact through my entire childhood anyway, but still.

When are they going to print felines with sacrifice mechanics, so I can play a Standard deck called "The AristoCats"?

Very early in my MTG "career" my mom bought me a pack of Chronicles which contained the first multicolored cards I had ever seen. I didn't even know they existed until I cracked the booster. The one that caught my eye was Svitri Scarzam, who has cool art and cool flavor text and was basically a craw worm but worse. I still proceeded to make U/B decks and cram her into them for weeks.

First dumb combo I ever played was squirrel mob with druid's call. We didn't know the rules and assumed that any damage would immediately create tokens so squirrel mob could never die and always got stronger

My childhood combo was a black corrupt deck with Frozen Shade as it's VIP. In my defense, it doesn't say "End of Turn"!

Everyone in my group had a Fungasaur/Prodigal Sorcerer deck. I'm pretty sure we always just pinged our own fungasaurs and never tried to kill the opponent's Tim. Eventually we also added Spiny Starfish (make 0/1s every turn!) and Keldon Warlord. I want to say we also played Breeding Pit, which would make it some kind of terrible 4 color monstrosity that didn't even have much synergy, but we all did it. Now I'm the only one of that group who even plays anymore. I think. Haven't even talked to a few of them in probably 8 years.

I remember when we were kids also not getting that rule right, and me and my friend had a wall of water and wall of fire with like 80 power each it was great

My first foil card ever was a Ring of Gix so I built a really lovely but annoying control deck around it , and I've liked playing annoying decks ever since.

my first card was Avatar of Woe, luckily I waited for Invasion to really get into the game, and then I got the 5-color precon which is a wild idea for a preconstructed deck

My pet card was Lord of Atlantis so I eventually had a deck that ran it with Merfolk Looter, Rootwater Thief, Waterfront Bouncer and Tidal Warrior. Eventually saved up for Force of Wills and had a fish deck circa 2001 before they printed all the merfolk lords.

My pet card was probably either nekrataal or like, Yavimaya granger or something. I've apparently always loved removal and ramp.

I played power surge + mana flare with burn spells and granite gargoyles so I didn't hurt myself. Edit: Also manabarbs + mana dorks / moxes. Why no, I didn't sleeve these decks, why do you ask?

Duelist #7. The compression of the internet archive's PDF maker was not kind, but you can get the raw TIFFs by clicking "show all" and "view contents" next to the .cbz file. JPEGs that haven't been through the "remove background for easier OCR" mangler are available by clicking "view contents" next to the .jp2.zip file. Here are direct links to jpegs of the 6K scans of the Mark Tedin poster: https://ia801509.us.archive.org/vie...139.jp2&ext=jpg https://ia801509.us.archive.org/vie...140.jp2&ext=jpg Duelists are beautifully designed and illustrated, so I was waiting until I got a proper CCD scanner (epson DS-6500) to do them justice.
