I can't stop laughing at this preview Magic card for the new set where it says, "Put thirteen 2/2 Black Zombie creature tokens into play." That's... - Qale Sep 5, 10:34 17
- Yeah, I laughed hard at that one. I'm slowly gaining more interest in the set. -- nm - Tim Sep 5, 10:39 16
  - Preeeeety sure that's GG if dropped in Limited. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 10:46 15

        Seems like its gotten a bit more complex just seeing you talk -- nm - eag Sep 5, 11:24 1
        
        New mechanics in each set and various intereactions complicate things, but it's still a pretty basic idea. - Tim Sep 5, 11:31
