If the prices are even its possible but unlikely. I'd snap do that trade to get rid of my Swords of War and Peace. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 11000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario 13th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

1. Dude, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. But it's good they didn't take the cards! 2.

Well, this is an unfortunate turn of events. Though it makes sense since Troll's generally have Regenerate.

Isn't there a link that would say why he was suspended? __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 11000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario 13th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

I agree. Kinda disappointing, when the day comes that I get lifetime ban for beating the **** out of someone, I won't even get the acknowledgment on there for what I did

The issue here is about the CONTEXT of the image in question and the perceived precedent it could set. You have a number of provocatively dressed women being portrayed in a subservient and slavish way, which is degrading and contrary to the commonly accepted norms of our society. They may not be your personal values, but MOST of society has come to agree that women are no longer concubines who serve at the whim of their man and grovel at his feet.
So fantasy art has to reflect what is acceptable in real life society? That seems pretty boring. This isn't any worse than Leia dressed in a slave outfit in front of Jabba. Wasn't that movie rated PG? If fantasy reflected society, it wouldn't be fantasy. I'm all about equal rights and gender equality but you have to pick your battles appropriately. A fringe fantasy card game that's played by (and marketed to) adult males doesn't seem to be very efficient. Try taking on Islam where their "societal norms" come a lot closer to mirroring whats depicted in the image.

He was banned in yugioh for cheating. Not surprised this happened at all. Funny because Last 5k in Indy I went to him and Alex were best of buds.

I'm sorry to hear that. my apt got broken into about 3 yrs ago and it was bad, about $4,000 worth of stuff, electronics mostly. and I didn't even have insurance. I sure hope you had renters/ home owners insurance.

Bummer, though, like Bertoncini's two Explores, THIS video couldn't have helped Edgar. And for those that don't want to watch it, it basically goes like this: Edgar on the play, turn one plays an Island. Lays his hand down on the table in a pile (can't see how many cards). Turn 2 he draws (should be 7 cards in hand), plays a Tundra (now 6) then Stoneforge (Now 5). Before he searches for anything you can pause the video around the :50 second mark and clearly see 6 cards in his hand.

even if it was a mistake, he really should have acknowledged it and called a judge over. Otherwise, it's just a piece of evidence. Players in the spotlight need to be very careful when it comes to this sort of thing.

Nice to know that you can cheat and not get punished for about four to six months. Makes the MLB's drug testing policy look legit. __________________ Most References in Massachusetts 80th All-timeSupport my friend's store: http://www.tabletoparena.com My blog: http://wings0298.blogspot.com

Just won my first draft. Went with BR Aggro after being passed 2 Tragic Slips, a Hateflayer, and a bunch of 3cc and 5cc vampires.I've never won more than 1 match in a draft, and I was somehow able to do it after being up for 24hrs at start time. Won 2 DKA packs, the FNM Despise, and rare redrafted a Snapcaster and Tree of Redemption (and 2 bulk rares). Now all I have to do is decide between UB Zombies and Esper Spirits for the gameday tourney tomorrow.

Cheapest recent sales on ebay is $6, with a few more in the 7-10 range. I don't think $3 is very realistic. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

Pardon my ignorance, but just got a transforming card and how do you get around there being no backs when decking them?

thanks. I don't like these double faced cards. Everytime you deck one you either have to have another card represent it or take it out of the opaque sleeve.

Yeah, that's lame. For everything except the money rares you coudl just sleeve up the other side and when it transforms take that one out instead. I can't really see this being an issue (though, then again, there are lots of imbeciles in the world).
