this card is so good and so woefully underplayed
actually let's be honest, the entire damn cycle of lands from alliances is fantastic. I mean, yall already know Kjeldoran Outpost is one of my favorite cards of all time ImageImageImageImage
ok, maybe not sheltered valley, but thawing glaciers? ImageImageImage
(yes, i know that i'm underselling glaciers. it's a freaking powerhouse of a card, and one of the best utility lands of all time)

i swear to god, some of you people are acting like rule 0 is some weird woke ideology forcing you to play with bumper guards while bowling and give everyone a participation trophy
and some of you are acting like rule 0 is the only thing stopping you from beating each other to death with hammers like some lord of the flies nonsense.
it's literally just those damn signs at a magic con that say 'casual' and 'competitive' and tell you where to sit. calm down.
the thing causing folks to yell at you because you brought a 4 to a table of 9s or you brought your geddon/dingus egg to a table of ladies looking left? that's not the ban list's fault. that's you being an asshole and not reading the room. Rule 0? that's how you read the room.

Holy shit?? They listened? Image
Legitimately gobsmacked here.
Rakshasa being cats is basically something Gygax made up for d&d when he was plundering Hinduism for source material, and he was incredibly patronizing and a huge dick about it, and it has no bearing on authentic Dharmic traditions

Some of you are asking what a Rattlesnake card is, so i thought it'd be cool to do a refresher. The great @anthonyaalongi created this animal classification system for multiplayer casual cards a generation ago and it still holds up
First, as mentioned, the rattlesnake. a card that sits on the table and uses threat of activation to stop you from messing with them. Classic examples are like Nev's Disk or Seal of Doom- political cards that direct your attention to softer targets.
next, the Spider, a card that waits patiently for you to spring its trap and get blown out.

in what is almost certainly not a coincidence, the forthcoming innistrad: midnight hunt set comes out almost 10 years to the day that og innistrad came out.
this is notable for a few reasons. In many ways, OG innistrad represents the real beginning of Magic's explosive growth period, and is also widely considered to be one of the top 2 or 3 limited environments of all time
2009 saw the release of the original Duels of the Planeswalkers digital game on xbox, which made it to the PS3 in 2010. This game doesn't get the respect i think it deserves for what it did to really launch magic to a broader audience

a lot of folks have asked me how to downtune their decks to make them more 'casual friendly' for whatever that means, and while it is really hard to just tell you what to do (as it is more a mindset than strict card swaps) i do have one tip- swap in arcane denial for counterspell ImageImage
(or for you grognards like me, the proper versions) ImageImage
they both do the same thing- hard counter a spell that is either going to wreck you or win the game- but arcane denial softens the blow in a more interesting way, and gives the countered player the feeling that they didn't just get completely stuffed.

So, who the hell is Vecna, and why do we have his random body parts? Time for a significantly shorter lore dive!
Our story starts back in 1976, with the 3rd supplement to the original D&D rules, Eldritch Wizardry by Brian Blume. (the first three books were men & magic, monsters and treasure, and underworld & wilderness adventures, followed by greyhawk and blackmoor)
(Eldritch wizardry also introduced psionics to D&D but called it Yoga, lol)
