Affinity Question

You sudden shock my ravager so that I can't play anything in response. Would welding jar work? Let the shock resolve, damaging ravager, then welding jar him to save it? I think it works but I don't want to get any ideas prematurely (sp?).

Also, why has tooth of chis-goria been cut?

I think I may have had one more but I can't remember.

IanRobbins is right.

tooth was never played. affinity was used to play scale vs. mirror/boros. it was cuted because affinity can play better cards.

think of split second as a stack eater, and once it resolves you cant do anything about it

Tooth of Chiss-Goria and Scale of Chiss-Goria Were used back in the Mirrodin block days of Skullclamp, where they had so many cards in their hand they couldn't POSSIBLY cast them all. Tooth and Scale were cut after the clamp was banned.

Of course, some hardcore affinity players like me still use the tooth maindeck. Why? None of your business. Also, Scale in the sideboard is tech Vs. Burn.

Affinity was why my rating died during Mirrodin Sad

I think they learned from their mistakes Razz

They may bring affinity as an ability back but I'd expect cards with 2-digit mana costs Razz

Just remember, Affinity always says, "Affinity for Artifacts". It could just as easily be Affinity for Creatures, Affinity for cards in your hand, Affinity for Enchantments your opponents control, Affinity for cards in your graveyard.... Whatever.

Crapmite 7
Artifact creature - Construct
Affinity for legendary lands in opponents graveyard.
2/2
Surprisingly enough, R&D had to change it's casting cost from 4 to 7...

K, that's what I was afraid of for the welding jar, I was just wondering if the damaged stacked like it did in combat where u get damage, then play stuff, then resolve damage.

And I was referring to Tooth in standard/mirrodin block. It just seems kind of like a 1/0 creature for 0, no?
