wake me up when white gets card advantage


I haven't played much MTG, so I know very little about it. But, my favorite was playing White/Black clerics.

Their advantage is that they get one but don't know it :/

The cancelation actually had nothing to do with the works of Weis and Hickman.

If OP wasn't a poser he would know there are no orcs on Krynn.

It's also funny that people think that a game traditionally played by losers and nerds is going to be filled with people who are intrested in jock justice. It isn't.



Technically there can be orcs in any setting including dragonlance via planescape.

How do you get more diverse than the cast of the dragonlance triology?

Made the mistake of "sleeping" with a fever with a dnd video on.

Now all I can think is how best to serve Kurtulmak

I'm also convinced sweeny todd could be rehabilitated in a kobald colony. I love fever dreams. Its like half way to an acid trip

We had Republicans for a very long time saying that private companies can't be policed and they should be allowed to basically do whatever they want, and then when those companies decide being inclusive makes them more money


there's a difference between being able to make whatever business decisions you want vs. blatantly breaking a contract

No one is arguing that WotC shouldn't be allowed to "unpublish" cards. The discussion among fans isn't whether WotC should be allowed to purge them. It's whether the decision is something that will actually be good for their image. Invoke Prejudice obviously needed to be purged many years earlier than it was. But purging Crusade is a decision that the majority of the fans will be turned off by.

What they did with the novel series is just going to hurt their brand more.

Racism and "evil" races has long been a problem, especially since orcs were created as a metaphor for blacks and "Orientals" by Tolkien and other western writers.


really? I always thought that the famous allegory was that Orcs were stand-ins for Germans.

They were the 'pure evils' in the wars Tolkein saw.

I picked up MTG with Ice Age, just in time to miss out on all the good, overpowered, ridiculously expensive alpha and beta cards. Unironically one of the biggest regrets of my life that I didnt pick it up one year earlier. :cry:


bro me too, also was an iceage player. luckily it was early enough u could trade for older sets, and i did. but didnt keep stuff long enough sadly for the most part.
