But it's Maiden, so we let them off! Most bands don't tour in a mother fucking aeroplane!

Actually, I don't excuse any bands for doing a huge amount of releases. On top of those live albums, you also have the compilation albums which they've done a fair amount in their time. Ozzy was criticised for his solo career to have been doing far too many live and compilation releases and decided to drop most of them from the back catalogue.

Iron Maiden Live Albums : 10
Rush Live Albums : 9
Metallica Live Albums : 4
Black Sabbath Live Albums : 5
Megadeth Live Albums : 5

I don't see a problem with any of them - most of the tracks on each live album will be the same, surely?

At least you can pass me in blams. OH WAIT!

Yeah, if I stick it out here for another 10-20 years.

The keyword is if.

I smell a challenge... or is that fear?

And players can block as long as they have any creatures to block attacks. Seems simple enough.

Only if the attack is coming at you - since you and the other half of the 2-headed giant counts as 1 player, you can block that way.

Makes sense.

I'm not so much a fan of it - I tend to get someone useless, who cannot work with my deck on my side.

I had three "Force of Will" back in the days. It lets you discard a card and pay a life instead of paying the mana costs. Very nice if you opponent thinks you are out of mana, but then you still can counter his spells.

Nice, so long as you had the life to pay - I'd recommend a blue / white deck for that card then.

Well, you start out with 20 life. So that's plenty to use for a Force of Will or two. See, the trick is, not to get hurt at all during a match. :P

That's why I take white - I need healing, as my stuff usually gets womped early on.

Serves you all right.

But didn't I always treat you with respect?

You were mocking that dragon.

I'm going to guess things have changed since then and you can use special land cards. Hell, they have them for Friday Night Magic promos so why have them forbidden?

I never played any tournaments, so I don't know all of the rules. I think there's one type of tournament where you can use cards from the latest 3 (or so) editions. But I always played with all the cards I had available, my friends did the same.

That's the rotation format. I like that format since then I'd only have to revise on the newer cards rather than some bizarre card from 1994. :P

I agree. However, I don't think the game is worth buying twice. It's really only for those who are trying to get into Magic. Competitive players won't find anything worthwhile from this.

Yeah, buying it once is enough.

Unless the sale made it really, really cheap but even then I'm not harping on it.

I really don't get why. Why not just have a game where you can use all the existing cards from when they made that video game? I bet there's some sort of online service where you can use an archive of Magic cards for anyone to use as deck tests and such.

That would be really swell. There don't have to be too many game modes, either. Just a simple "one on one" online match would be enough. Oh, and of course you need the ability to invite people, so you can play against your friends.

I might ask around. I know a fair amount that play Magic so maybe they'll know something.

Hm, I just had to look up the editions from 1994: Antiquities, Legends, Fallen Empires. Wikipedia says, even today you can get boosters from Fallen Empires, so no problems there. Antiquities and Legends aren't that important to my knowledge. Ice Age was a pretty good edition, Homelands not so much. Alliances was my favorite edition, that's why I had all the cards. ^^
I'm sure I had another edition complete, or maybe even two. Must have been Tempest and/or Urza's Legacy.
Fun Fact: The first bossters of "Prophecy" had a spelling error in the german edition. "Prophezeihung" instead of "Prophezeiung".

With 2 live releases per decade, it would be 6/7 for Rush and 6 for Maiden. That feels more condense. As far as Maiden goes, I only have those from the remaster set, Rock in Rio (mostly for Bayley songs sung by Dickinson) and Flight 666 DVD. Have no need to get Maiden England (despite its rarity) or En Vivo.

No, different setlists, but some songs always make it - Iron Maiden, or Number of the Beast, for example.

Those obviously can't be taken out of setlists, although Maiden have attempted to have setlists without Run to the Hills or The Trooper.

The problem with randomness is how it might backfire you for being with the wrong tag partner. Dark Ascension pre-release was tag teams for the most part which was why I wasn't too keen on it. However, that isn't the case for Avacyn Restored. Might look into attending the pre-release a week on Saturday.

Oh and one which allows you to gain 1 life for each green permanent you control and one life for each elf you have in play. That's usually in the region of 15-30 life for the player with a good elf deck.

I see what you mean. Still, I've put my name down for the pre-release. Thankfully not everyone knows all the cards in the set and will pretty much be on equal ground to me. What I might want to do is have a practice game next week prior to the pre-release just to get myself warmed up.

Fear of the Dark will also be hard to take out since it was even played at the Somewhere Back in Time shows and that setlist was to cover 80s Maiden.

Personally, I feel that if you take out Hallowed be thy name, you need to replace it with Childhood's end. You can't play Mariner and When the Wild Wind Blows on the same set, as they're the long epic ones that they have. I'd also substitute Run to the Hills for Flight of Icarus - their first chart hit after I was born.

The problem with randomness is how it might backfire you for being with the wrong tag partner. Dark Ascension pre-release was tag teams for the most part which was why I wasn't too keen on it. However, that isn't the case for Avacyn Restored. Might look into attending the pre-release a week on Saturday.

I hate people doing this when the cricket season starts - I give up gaming for the most part, because I'm sunning myself*.

I see what you mean. Still, I've put my name down for the pre-release. Thankfully not everyone knows all the cards in the set and will pretty much be on equal ground to me. What I might want to do is have a practice game next week prior to the pre-release just to get myself warmed up.

Fair enough - I still play, but nowhere near the tournament level that I played at.

I don't even have an account on Facebook, so I couldn't care less what they do with their site design.

That's good, you won't have the timeline to worry about. That shit looks like a MySpace layout. I like having all the posts on one column, not two.

I'm surprised he didn't.

Maybe he enjoyed the attention he got.

He didn't look happy about it.

Yeah, that makes more sense. Although, that depends how old the set is since if years back, surely a sealed box will be hard to find now.

I guess there are still unopened booster packs out there. But instead of focusing on older Editions you should just buy packs from newer editions.

Obviously. The only old cards I'll try and get are those that are for my dragon/drake collection. I was considering collecting Wurms but some of them looked like giant bugs rather than the heads of a dragon. :P

This I'm actually happy with. Now your name will be off the closest entries for my 2x10k hexalist updates.

To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be surprised if Childhood's End was never played at a Maiden show ever again. Most of Fear of the Dark tends to be discarded by most fans so they're not really songs they'll want to play.

If I do get in gear, I'll see what I can do at bigger tournaments. Magic's meta should be interesting considering the diverse decktypes that can be used and can prove to be very powerful.

That's their loss. I'll get over it, I suppose.

I agree. I'll just stick to teaching my niece to sing it and throw the horns.

Ah, so you're getting really serious with this, then?

Today is the first cricket game of the Saturday season, where I'll be playing (instead of scoring) for the 2nd XI, against Pershore 2nd XI. Pershore have just come down from Div 1, while we've just gone up from Div 3. Talk about a baptism of fire!

Now to make sure that the book looks good when I'm not playing.

And yet it's still unfunny. Infact, it makes even less sense.

Here's a song we can definitely agree with: Phantom of the Opera!

Well, I should learn the thousands of cards they have before I even get to that stage. Just so I won't get an obscure thrown at me and I have no fucking clue what it does. I expect Magic will have its tricks. ;)
