Subject: Top Ten Cheating Cards!! Date: Wed, 15 Jul 1998 22:38:29 -0400 From: "stryker12" To: Well, since everybody seems to be pissed at mike long i'm going to do a top ten list. also i'd like to mention that Matt Linde goes to high school in my town, Damascus Maryland, so everybody shower me with adoration 10. Illusionary Mask: I mean, face down, you can quickly switch creatures if you get a better one. Well, not that good 9. Coin-Flippers: Just flip your coin on a Desperate Gamble until it hits the roof, and slip a card or two into your hand in the meantime 8. Forbidden Crypt: Think of the possiblitys! Slip the top card of your library into the bottom of your graveyard. When choosing a card, flip the card face up, shuffle it in. 7. Impulse: you put it ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR LIBRARY, folks! This means you can sneak a peek at your top of library cards. Even better, if you like the cards, tell your opponent about the errata. If not, shuffle!! 6. Alphas: Why? Because of their bigger edges it is easier to conceal your only land, flash mulligan, and shuffle before they realize you had six cards showing!! Yes! 5. Howling Mine: Why? With the utter confusion of this multidrawer combined with the habit of only drawing 1, draw 2! Then slap your head in 15 seconds, BEFORE DOING ANYTHING IN YOUR MAIN PHASE or rules freaks will mess you up, and say you have forgotten to draw the extra. Works oh-so-well with multiple copies. 4. Mirror Universe: Since all of the main combos with this ultra-rare involve tricky rules situations like mana-burn and the most confusing card of all time, Lich, voila! 3. Mirri's Guile: Take more than three cards!!! Rearrange them in a flat way! Distract your opponent! If they don't know Tempest, embarass them with "Surely you know about this card! Why, EVERYONE uses this card! hahahahaha!" BONUS CARD: Black Vise. Not a damn person knows if it's restricted or not. Always say it is the way that will make you happy. 2. Sorry, I can't think of one. I guess you could say i'm cheating on the top ten! hahahaha! 1. Land Tax! Not only do you get you look at your library order then shuffle to your advantage ("Does it SAY to cut? No!") but you don't have to show them the land! So, you can get three Tutors a turn. Obviously you're going to get caught if you don't pluck some land too. This was another strong argument for it's being banned and for the text to make you show everyone on future specific searchers like Merchant Scroll. Well, see ya, Seriously about Matt Linde Trevor Vartanoff
