  I just remember someone once telling me that Copy Artifact didn't count as an artifact for Tolarian Academy. Sorry for my ignorance. On a different sidenote, playing green also gives you access to Tranquility, a much underused card in Old School.

  @ten-ten Thanks man. I try to make the writing enjoyable enough that the subject does not have to carry it.

  Evil Spirit Guide
  Creature-evil spirit
  Remove evil spirit guide in your hand from the game, pay 2 life: add 2 black Mana to your Mana pool.
  2/2

  Sorry but I want a card like this and imo it fits black well. The extra life nets you extra mana, black does it for cards all the time so why not and it would make black more viable in legacy Belcher lol.

  Ive been playing since it was first announced. It's not a bad game, but it doesn't give me as much satisfaction as Magic does. Main issue is the lack of a decent OP vs Magic.

  It's also good they're reprinting horizon canopy because it should bring the price down a bit which is good for how high it's gotten as of late.

  On another note, though it isn't playable I love they're reprinting glimpse the unthinkable. I've always loved the card, the ability is cool, the art is awesome. Just all around enjoy it. Always a fun card to play with casually.

  @nedleeds said in A format where you try to lose the game:

  Spoils of the Vault, Misstep the Misstep that Misstepped the Misstepped Mistep. Name Deep Wood.

  I think this is the winner. Spoils, Gemstone Caverns, Pact of Negation, FOW, Misstep, Disrupting Shoal, etc.

  Though I think Mountain Goat is the better name.

  I'll meet you half way and say Wood Elemental.

  @nedleeds a lot of what you listed isn't in the MCU.

  My current library for kids is:
  Crash Bandicoot - the new release, which is too hard for the kids to play through but they still enjoy it.
  Ratchet & Clank - Also came with the console but we haven't opened it because of the guns and shooting. It can wait 1-2 years.
  Minecraft - Kids love it and I can play it with them with another controller. The smaller kids need a lot of help.
  FIFA18 is preordered.

  For me I have:
  Fallout 4
  Madden 18
  South Park preordered

  good luck to you. I'm at the opposite end as I have one class left for my degree after taking a 20+ year "break". I was working full time as well and I found it to be manageable but you are right, there is not a lot of extra time.

  @Smmenen the reason why you cannot find any historical lists with basalt monolith and power artifact is because basalt monolith recieved power level erratta that said mana from basalt monolith could not be used to untap basalt monolith.

  It was designed to stop combo decks that were using goblin rocket launcher if I am remembering my 23 year old combo decks correctly. They were blue black decks being used right before legends was released.

  I'm really late to this party but I am attorney myself and wanted to say congrats! It's a long road ahead but the LSAT is a big step out of the way. Stay confident and work as hard as you can in law school if pays off in the long run!

  People go on Losing streaks.

  I went 6-2 in 2012 with RUG Delver at Champs.
  I went 1-2 Drop in 2012 at NYSE with BUG Vault
  I went 5-3 in 2013 with Doomsday at Champs.
  I went 0-2 Drop in 2013 at NYSE with (I can't even remeber)
  I went 2-2 Drop in 2014 with 4 Color Control.
  I went 2-2 Drop in 2015 with 4 Color Control.
  I went 0-2 Drop after a bye in 2016 with Paradoxical Control.
  I've 0-2 Dropped, 0-2 Dropped, 4-2 for 16th, and 5-1 for 5th in Power 9 championships.

  I used to win everything - then I started losing a lot. The cards (Mistep, Flusterstorm, Mentor, Revoker+Friends, Paradox) Make this format much more forgiving than it used to be.

  Bottom line, you could have the IQ of a shoe and still win games. That's something that wasn't true until 2008 when Time Vault was errata'd.

  Don't let losing streaks get to you.
