That's why Aaron recruited level-4-certified-judge, rules guru, and all-around-nice-guy Rune Horvik all the way from Norway to become the sixth weekly columnist on our site. We at realize that there are times when you can't wrap your head around how a certain card works or how a combination of cards interact. Ladies and Gentlemen, I entirely empathize with your situation. I have no access to a high-level judge to help me with the rules, so I'm lost. I just want to get together with my friends every week and have a good ol' time in Bubba Zeke's house, whipping up on his Thallid/Thrull deck with my Ixidor/ Camouflage deck. "But Ben," you might reply, "I have absolutely no desire to attend tournaments. The person asked me, "How do you know all the rules so well?"Įxperience (I've been playing for nearly ten years now, and I've been attending sanctioned tournaments - the best places to be constantly bombarded by rules - with certified judges nearly as long) and a willingness to always, always ask a knowledgeable source about a rules issue if I'm unclear about how a card (or the game itself) works. I also received an email asking questions about moi. I wish you'd left them the old way." Other than that, a dozen or so people lamented the loss of interrupts, wished trample hadn't changed (this wasn't a Sixth Edition change, it occurred with Urza's Saga - don't worry, it'll get its own column someday), and missed banding (which wasn't a rules change per se, but the phasing out of a keyword mechanic).
I received a grand total of two emails from people who said, "I don't like the new rules at all. Others had been with the game since the Alpha set, while still others began with Revised Edition, quit, and then came back. Some people had just started playing Magic this year. Over 150 emails came pouring in from all corners of the world. To say that I underestimated the response I'd get to my column " Thanksgiving in Dominia" is an understatement.
