Reminds me of how we used to play before one of us read the comp. rules.
Player plays a spell / ability...
Other player goes like: "Before you do that... I do this and this"
We were all noobs once. |
I use sensei's divining top to draw a card but before I put it on top of my library I do this and this  
Good times |

Heeeeeey...fast effects! I remember those when I was younger. My friends and I didn't know anything about the stack either when we were novices, so we always used "fast effects" to signify something in response.
Man, I miss those days sometime. I *still* haven't fully gotten a hold of how priority works, and I've been playing for years. v.v |

| i remember our spells would be resolved only if it hit the table b4 somebody declared counter spells. NAturally control deck presence decreased. Also, we played you could block after there was an instant pump on an attacker. |

| We used fast effect...but usually as a "before combat" or "end of turn" effect |

I have always wondered why some people put their lands out front.... I just thought that some people just preferred it that way. Is there actual logic to it? |

@ ant. Table placement of cards has no effect on the game. It's just what ever you're comfortable with. I think it could throw your opponent off when declaring blockers or counting what creatures you have.
Talking about old times....anybody remember "interrupts" and "mono artifacts"?
Jeez I'm old. |

the logic is to have your creature in front of your opponen'ts creatures and "point them"' with the appropriate cards...
*think.. just think |

I learned it like that, too, about eight years ago. Everyone I knew back then set it up like that. No one I know now does. I think the logic is that the land becomes an obvious separator for "your stuff" and "my stuff". |

| ahem In response to all the noobs here who think I fell for it. I was just asking because THEY WERE playing with it. I told them it didn't exist and played with other people who thought it was retarded too. Again for all you noobs out their, read the above. |

I know that it didn't have any effect on the game, I was just curious why some people did it (like maybe that was the set up in the origional rulz book or something) |

this new cardshop is crazy. I played a kid the other day that didnt tap his lands, he didnt have them sorted, and he put them near his creatures. It was annoying |

Mono, Poly, Interrupt, Mana Source.
My friends and I had issues with "the stack" when we first started playing. We had a rough concept of it.
Once (actually a couple of times) my cousin thought his Eladamri, Lord of Leaves protected his elves from a Pyroclasm because "they can't be targeted", and when my friend and I argued with him about it, he got mad and flipped the table over, cards and all. Then again, he also thought Eladamri himself was an elf (mainly because of the artwork and abilities I guess). And we had to set him straight on that too.
Another guy I use to play with tried telling me that my Priest of Titania wouldn't count my Llanowar Elves because it was "Elves" and not an "Elf".
So many stories of peoples misunderstandings/ignorance/etc of the game I have had for the past 13 years I wish I could remember them all. |

Wow, I haven't played with paper in so long, I didn't know people stopped doing this!
even the play mats used to have the lands set up so they'd be out front, didn't they? It seems more logical. You put some land out there. All the land goes together in the middle, because, well, it's not like your opponent's in a different place, he's just using different places. And then you draw power from the land, and summon a creature next to you. Of course he's right next to you! Then when he attacks, he runs across the land into the middle of the table and meets something else there that eats him maybe. Then he comes back home, but he's tired. How is he going to protect you if he's all the way out there, with a bunch of lands in the way?
Putting lands close to you doesn't make much sense. |
