Farseer on 2012-03-04 23:04 CET Island deck with removal and sb'ing Ancient Grudge. Seems like a plan!
by
wiltstorm on 2012-03-05 05:33 CET just an error i spotted, Temple Garden is incorrectly placed in non-land section.

by
Rishi on 2012-03-05 18:38 CET and isn't preordain banned? Why would people with it?
by
CMA-Flippi on 2012-03-05 19:02 CET The data above contains all modern tournaments from ever. This includes the timeframe from before bannings.
by
LuckyDucky on 2012-03-06 02:11 CET This is interesting! Thanks Flippi
by
LuckyDucky on 2012-03-08 22:52 CET Would it be possible to see how many decks a particular card appeared in instead of how many times a card appeared in total?
by
CMA-Flippi on 2012-03-08 23:23 CET hmm, technically it is possible and I can check it for individual cards, not summarize however. Missing some database skills for that.
by
mtgsoldier on 2012-04-01 15:54 CET How can the 3 pieces of tron have different numbers of playability? they only see play together...
by
CMA-Flippi on 2012-04-16 00:56 CET Tower is the best.
by
Ansore on 2012-05-07 14:01 CET Ban all islands?
