Subject: 6thEd-Sands of Time Date: Mon, 07 Dec 1998 06:33:52 PST From: "John Holt" To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com What the hell is going on? I've been away from competitive magic for a few months. I decided to get back in and so I go check out the dojo. What do I find? Among a few other annoying things (like the academy decks), I find that the rule on tapped artifacts will be changing. So let me get this straight: Say I play Sands of Time. Then I play a second one. Cool. I'm locked down now. Oh yeah. So are you. Interesting. Is this true? Or will there be errata for 200 different artifacts, rather than one simple line in a rule book. Trying to make the game simpler huh? For who? All of us simpletons out here who can't understand how to play your game? Thank the gods that you are now going to give us the information we need. We were all stumped. You want the next chess or Go (whatever the hell Go is)? Then develop it. Magic is not chess. You know - my sister had a baby boy, but she wanted a girl. Well, no prob. She can always fix that. Just start chopping. Presto - a girl!!! Not. Wotc continues to try to break into the mainstream at our expense. I guess the economic success they have enjoyed up to this point isn't enough. Now they are trying to sterilize our sacred game of magic so that the lowest common denominator will be able to swallow it. Let them eat Portal. ---John Holt--- southgoingzax@hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
