so who likes Off Topics??
let the discussion begin!

[LEFT] Previous to Coldsnawas the best card in Standard. By "best card" I don't mean that it was some kind of bannable babycake, but that it had an insanely relevant effect on the development of a great many games, and consistently. It was very common for an aggressive player to crumple in his chair like veteran tinfoil when the Blue mage, on the draw, showed a Spell Snare before playing his second land. [/LEFT]

[LEFT] I have probably mentioned this already, but Spell Snare was initially quite underwhelming in our sting, specifically in CMU (Cuneo or Schneider, take your pick) Blue decks versus Zoo. Spell Snare was out. [/LEFT]

[LEFT] Meanwhile t Champs last year (I mean, some people who were very forward-seeing, and recognized the power ofin control and stuff like that, might have), but everyone *eventually *recognized the effectiveness of this card and it became Staple almost across the board. [/LEFT]

[LEFT] Like Spell Snare, Remand was under-performing in at least some decks (for example, U/G beatdown against In our playtest session last weekend made a leap that separately suggested to me and tore the Remands from our U/G deck like a suckling newborn from her mother's bosom; then, like a murderous Fanatic bent on killing babies, hurled poor ooh ooh gah gah Remand into the Snow.

[LEFT] As our gauntlets have evolved, my attitudes on Spell Snare and Remand have started to come [back] around. Spell Snare was often mis-played as a sideboard card against aggressive decks (it sure deals witt was realized what a stone cold killer the card was in maindeck. The interesting thing about Spell Snare in this format is that I want it back in my control decks, but for almost opposite reasons than it was originally played. [/LEFT]

[LEFT] Versus Black:
Rakdos - You want Spell Snare on the draw against Maher if you can stick it.
takes off, you may want to Spell Snare that. You may want to let it resolve early (for example, you can conveniently discard somethingut late game, you don't really want the opponent to be able to answer Akroma for BB.
os has few outs against the good control finishers. Unless you have something like a k up splash, you will probably want Spell Sn
Solar Flare Variants - One of the best uses of a Spell Snare pre-Time Spiral was coustructs which can be used to obscure a statement. Jargon is less specific and thus less clear than ordinary English. When management uses jargon to clarify a point it frequently obscures the truth. Occasionally, management may use jargon to hide their own lack of knowledge when answering employee's questions.This book attempts to clarify the meaning of management jargon. The explanations of the terms may not be accepted by all. Common use may dictate completely different meanings. New words are added to management jargon all the time. Also, the meanings of individual phrases change over time.While every effort has been taken in the preparation of this book, the author assumes no responsibility for any errors and/or omissions, or for any damages reMens 80-talls nostalgien er på hell og 90-talls nostalgien er på vei inn, vil vi holde litt fast ved et høyt respektert, men altfor lite kjent band som ga ut ett av sine beste album i overgangen mellom de to tiårene. Hats var skotske The Blue Nile sitt andre album, og ett av bare 4 totalt på 20 år så langt, og her oser det kvalitet i alle ledd. Produksjonen er deilig sval, sterkt dominert av elektroniske instrumenter; myke synthtepper og standhaftige trommemaskiner som vugger deg duvende avsted. Tekstene er melankolske og stemningsfulle, hverdagslige og drømmende, og sammen med musikken låter det både distansert og intimt på samme tid. På toppen av dette får vi YouTube - The Blue Nile - Paul Buchanan interview on TV3
stemme, som er en av popens absolutt fineste; alt i alt blir dette en ganske så uimotståelig cocktail som garantert vil fremkalle frysninger hos deg som lytter. Hør bare her på mesterlige "The downtown lights", ett av mange høydepunkt på en plate som bør høres i sin helhet for å komme inn i den rette stemningen.sulting from the use of the information contained herein.
y way Solar Flare could beat U/W Control (happy Chapin, Aten, whoever?) was to get a mana advantage on Signets or force a game winner with Remand. Those cards cost two mana.
Any Permission Deck - Most of the good counters cost two mana. Spell Snare counters two mana cards. [/LEFT]

[LEFT] It may be a sign of in-breeding, or at leas good again [in Zoo]. I've been playing without Hammer from the outset for this format. Just a thought. [/LEFT]
