The Magical Cards

[forsyth]

Nothing really deep here. I like the B/W Orzhov guild, and the crazy token deck I built from the precon is loads of fun and doesn't suck. Spirits and bats and wizards. And the little plastic ninja I use as tokens.

And I also got my new Player Rewards cards from Wizards. Ignore the FAQ on that page, the available cards haven't been updated in like a year. I got 2 textless Putrefys, a textless Pyroclasm, and a textless Giant Growth. All with pretty art. And I got my 4th Hypnotic Specter finally, this one the shiny DCI one they give you after you play in 20 tournaments. He's sweet and shiny, with the old art. Man, I need to start going to Friday Night Magic again.

I haven't played in like a million years (my last expansion was... Exodus, I think, or the one that came right after it). I still have all of my cards, though, boxes and boxes of them. My only magic-related goal these days is to finish building my black deck by getting all of the remaining obscure cards that it requires, finding good copies of three or four cards that I have a nostalgic, emotionally invested reason for having, and then getting rid of everything except that deck and those cards.

It saddens me that I can't even pull out that old black deck and school people in the fear of the Will o'the Wisp anymore. So many new abilities on cards, I have no idea what the damn things do. And when did they change the card layout? I'm old and these things scare me!

They changed it with 8th edition, which was several years ago.

Also, what cards?
