Conehead

Grills looked down to remind himself of where he was, and why. His entire body tingled with vigor, as if his master had personally seen to his summons. Grills wasn't sure it hadn't. All he knew was that his longsword itched to find something to sink its length of steel into.

That's No Moon!

Let me take you on a journey to the past. Actually, we need to go to the half-past. Back to a little set that was called Time Spiral.

The Sphere of Not-Quite-Annihiliation

I could probably do a year's worth of articles about The Dark. And they'd probably all be awesome. But for now, I have to limit myself, lest I take the easy route of low comedy for making fun of cards who can't help being bad.

They were made this way, and they have to live with the fact that they're inferior. Maybe no one will ever understand. But every day--every. day.--new bad cards come upon us. With the advent of custom card generators, any old fool can whip up a new artifact that does something woefully overcosted.

It's up to me to prove that Wizards has already beaten them to the punch.

Ahhh, Arabian Nights. On the whole, not really that awful of a set. Most of the cards don't hold up much to modern standards of power creep balance, but that's okay, because it was young and stupid when it came out.
