I think the VD thread is winding down - really you can only argue a point for so long without any evidence or logic.
Thanks, Helios.

I'm glad I found out y'all aren't pro racism and slavery - if that came up while I was rep at MTGS, I'd totally have voted the other way...
Whew!

And god damnit, somehow I got dragged into that mess and for some reason I continue to fight the stupidity in the world. The latest guy at least had a legitimate argument. The damn things do cost $20 per playset.The VD thread makes me weep for humanity. I mean damn I'm not the greatest around at magic or anything but holy shit. Apparently I'm a lot better than the average bear.
I have a theory on that, though.
The theory is simple, people are stupid and bought playsets thinking it's a no duh 4-of in red decks. Also, it does have some maybe
playability value in modern and legacy, which push the price up a little. Just because a card isn't a dollar bulk rare doesn't mean it's good. There are examples of cards being non-bulk rares that aren't played but are worth a few bucks for various reasons.

What is there to argue? The card is amazing if you have around 11 or more effects that benefit from placement in the GY.

Those were my thoughts, but I'm open to the possibility that it's not worth splashing a third color for.

Oh you will not be disappointed. The different stories are all amazing at how they tie into the overall narrative of the story. The third book, Endymion, begins with the best first line of any of them, "You are reading this for the wrong reason." Bastard.Just started Simmons' Hyperion. I have high hopes!

See...now up until the Fling I was okay because it sounded like Golgari Aggro (not competitive in the format by any means but it had a few weeks of relative success). Then...damn.What is there to argue? The card is amazing if you have around 11 or more effects that benefit from placement in the GY.

Someone should point out the one-two punch of Stromkirk Noble + Rancor.The VD thread has, against all possible expectations, gotten even more moronic.
"In multicolor decks? Lets not even pretend that the red one-drops compete."
He's referring to Stromkirk Noble.
How much do each of those cost again? And running both means it's a multicolored deck by definition?!?
I'm just amazed by how dumb you can consistently pretend to be.

Just for the sake of asking: I've read The Fall of Hyperion last year and I didn't like it as much as I would have expected after reading the first one, thus never bothered starting the Endymion... seing suchOh you will not be disappointed. The different stories are all amazing at how they tie into the overall narrative of the story. The third book, Endymion, begins with the best first line of any of them, "You are reading this for the wrong reason." Bastard.Just started Simmons' Hyperion. I have high hopes!

Present for Photo. http://www.wizards.com/magic/Digital/Ma ... rn/5230719 The 19th or 20th deck down is orzhov zombies and it actually has lots of things I like. Deck needs another land, and another creature, but overall it looks like a very good blood artist deck.
You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.
Beatdown is hard, though.

The idea is naya blitz, but with playable mana. Also, you get to play Reckoners, which is HUGE in the pseudo-mirror.
