Any of you bastards play Magic The Gathering?

The war has scrambled your brain :p game came out in 93 and apparently was the first TCG. Anyways so that's what Ante is lol. There is an older card that mentions ante and its played in upkeep the game is decided on a coin toss where the non active player calls heads lol
 
I have shitloads dating back to the Urza block, 5th and 6th. I don't see how they can declare anything illegal with the bullshit Tarkir stuff they are pumping out. Pay two mana, get some OP 4/4 with haste, first strike, and oh, let's throw in hexproof also.

Tarkir shit is weak lol. Look at the winning decks in modern and tell me if its overloaded with tarkir. If not then clearly its not op enough to win. There is a banned card from tarkir BTW. Treasure Cruise is banned in modern.

Affinity Deck. Enough said. There is a reason why the cards that make it work are banned. One of them seems so harmless on its own. But in combination with any card out there it might wreck every round making people not even want to play the game anymore.

No cards are banned in standard. If they made a mistake it effects standard only for 12 months worst case scenario. Standard tournaments are people playing the same stupid 2 or 3 decks anyways. Who really cares about some Timmy card though?
 
Hell treasure cruises ban confuses me. I run it in my blue decks. Its a good way to use my graveyard when I'm getting my ass kicked to also make up for people playing control cards that wipe out my hand. But some strategist out there apparently made it work too well

Hundreds of hours of play testing goes into new cards. The same for bans. Every game is analyzed to see what's going wrong. Its not all level but I agree with it.

If the ban lists were removed the tournaments would be like playing on servers with hackers. The only people left playing would be full of shit.
 
I assume this may actually be the card you are talking about:
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=391928&type=card

Technically 2 mana and gains the abilities of exiled creature cards. I have a couple was a nice thought but only works in certain situations. This is also why I exile peoples grave yards as often as possible if they are running delve decks.

I am big on exiling graveyards due to planeswalker liliana vess. But I have a couple of cards that get screwed over doing that as all grave yards effect them.
 
I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but I find it stimulating reading it
 
I think you're right, it was probably 93 Rain. I know most of our cards were limited Alpha decks and some beta. I was also mixed up on the ante card, the card was Dark Pact and it let you swap the top card of your library for any card in the Ante which was fucking brutal. If someone had something nice in the ante that shit was gone. Having a black deck I always threw in a Demonic Attorney too which made everyone ante up the top card of their libraries into the existing ante. Loved the Plague Rats though. This was my favorite asshole card, the Royal Assassin. We always played with 4-6 players at a time so the ante was usually really good but the game was a total crap shoot. I was the only one of our group who had a Vesuvian Doppleganger and Ancestral Recall.
