I'm not being face...Thanks for the corrections. I'm not being facetious, sincerely - even though I've been playing on and off since ICE AGE I remain a TERRIBLE player. One of the reasons why is that it honestly never occurs to me to do stuff like sacrificing a creature to itself. I tend to avoid sacrifice mechanics for just that reason, I've lost more than one game because I could have sacrificed a guy to himself for an effect. <br /><br />Also: I misremembered something MaRo said on his Tumblr - it wasn't development, but design that had the problem with Proliferate, if I recall, because even though it's a popular mechanic it's just not very deep in terms of unexplored space after SCARS block. I think that's what he said, at least. <br /><br />I fixed the piece to reflect the criticism!

I wouldn't have come upon this article (or the other Magic articles) if I didn't follow your blog. And I know these articles are just for your own fun.<br /><br />But nearly every single Magic card post you make (that I've read; I stopped reading after the Wrath of God post drove me crazy) has blatant factual inaccuracies that are so bad that they retroactively have taught me to distrust anything you state as fact in any of your comic-related writing as well.<br /><br />In this case, in the very first paragraph with content: development doesn't hate proliferate, *at all*. Where did you get that idea? I don't even know where that came from. Then, later in the same paragraph, when your opponent has nine poison counters and you've got a Plaguemaw Beast: you win immediately! Sacrifice the Plaguemaw Beast himself! That's more forgivable to me, though, not knowing the rules, rather than just making up other people's well-documented opinions.Andynoreply@blogger.com
