I'd expect Pariah is doable based on Simulacrum; basically, it *is* Simulacrum that goes off every time you get hurt, against the enchanted creature. Crater Hellion is kinda like Flametongue Kavu on everything, probably doable. Intuition seems like it should be easy, but I remember Jatill trying to do it and said it's harder than it looks. And Stroke of Genius is so easy *I* could make it, so it's definitely possible.
Well, I don't see Dream Halls in the list of uncodable cards, so I'm still holding out hope. :wink:

The other cards except for Intuition are basically just for fun. But Crater Hellion would be a big help against some of the Rounds in Challenge Mode.

This might be too early since Magic 2011 isn't out yet, but maybe Manalink could already replace Megrim with Liliana's Caress (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=248719), which seems to be strictly better.

WOW! :shock:

That was very cool Magic Man. =D>

Do it again! [-o<

But, this time use my list: :D

01. Chaos Orb,
02. Word of Command,
03. All Hallow's Eve
04. Firestorm Phoenix,
05. Land's Edge,
06. Living Plane,
07. Recall,
08. The Wretched,
09. Deflection, and
10. Enduring Renewal,

I love playing M.M.T.G. with the early cards coded from Beta through Weatherlight. My favorite block is Ice Age. And, wouldn't it be great if the card coding team can complete these sets someday-soon.

:D =D> [-o<

Oh man, I'd give my left nut for Word of Command :p It's sooooooo fun... and the AI probably doesn't know how to defend against it. Plus, it's incredibly hilarious with Isochron Scepter. Unfortunately, Word of Command is such a complex card to make that it didn't even make DotP/SotA when Microprose added the remaining Beta cards.

I've never actually used most of the cards in that list, but those are quite fun. One thing I will point out, though, is that Land's Edge is basically obsolete now that we have Seismic Assault. (which is coded) It's not strictly better, but it is clearly a superior choice except perhaps in some sort of teammate multiplayer format. Enduring Renewal had some funny combos based around it. Deflection is good, but I think jatill said that he either doesn't know how to change targets or it can't be done, so it and similar cards are uncodable for now.

Recall also has some special memories for me. The first time I ever went to a magic tournament, Recall was a restricted card in Type II. (since chronicles was type II legal at the time) Me and my friend who went were so n00bish at the time that we didn't even know there WAS a restricted list; we assumed you could use four of anything in a T2 legal set. My deck had two Recall in it, not to mention that it was something like 150 cards, lol. My opponent gave me a huge wtf look when I discarded one Recall to another one to bring back a card I needed :p He didn't even ask a judge to D/Q me, because my deck was so shitty, but he told me it was illegal, at which point I gave him this blank n00by stare. (you know the one...) My deck was this weird monoblue thing with countermagic, merfolk, and some overcosted stupid stuff like Island Fish Jasconius, and the Aladdin's Lamp / Animate Artifact combo... needless to say, I uh never got either of those into play! Man, it was fun being a n00b... the dumbest cards were still 'good'. The funniest part of that deck was the first guy I played had a white weenie deck and I won the first game, so I thought I was awesome. Then he won the next two, so I lost the match 1-2, then lost to the guy I mentioned above 0-2 with a goblin deck and got eliminated :( Not so good after all...

aww-
Your love for having been a noob makes me wonder if you consider the idea I've been toying with for the next tournament. Only use cards from Alpha, Arabians, and Antiquities. Maybe also exclude rares. It would bring you back to your original days of deck building.

That's a little bit TOO old for me :p But yeah it would be neat. I started in Revised/Fallen Empires, so I missed all the really good stuff, and I was too n00b to figure out dual lands were a bargain at six bucks... at least I still got some for $10-15 back in the day.

Sad story-
I started around Revised and probably opened about 10 boxes of it. I was so annoyed that I'd get a stupid land at rare. As a joke, I would cut them in half vertically and reassemble them with other duals to make new quad lands. For me, the even sadder part is that I didn't save any of these as evidence of my idiocy.

Chaos Orb will never be implemented it would require going into the code and changing it over completely. No point to ask for it I assume to put that one card in would be like 1000+ hours of coding.

. Gamekeeper would be fun with the Eldrazi, particularly in legacy decks where Oath of Druids is banned.

This is a bit of an odd request, but it's really easy :) I was browsing through the Gatherer database, looking for cool cards, and I found this incredible image for Meddling Mage. My 'request' is that it get added as an alternate (or main) image for the card. I could easily do that myself, but then every time I download a new version, I'd have to do it again.

I found a really large image to use here: (It's from Alara Reborn; the image we have right now is from Planeshift and is less cool :p) http://www.dragonguardian.com/mtgblog/w ... g_mage.jpg

I agree his image make him "happy trick from happy circus" like, though the idea of the card quite fit him...so you want the image like this?
