AlphaHX Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Time Walk Card of the Day - Tuesday, August 12, 2003 Alpha rare. Early playtest versions of this card read "Target player loses next turn," which was supposed to mean your opponent skipped his next turn. Of course, it was misconstrued to mean he lost the game on his next turn, and was changed to the printed wording. from the wizard website... yay... im not going crazy. they did change it then i guess... that was so amusing too.

Skull Leader Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 hmmm, guess I got the standard production version then... it IS an Alpha Card. I remember that much. My set, unfortunately, is in Arkansas so I cannot double check it now (now you have me wanting to!). I have some Betas too, but I keep them separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I knew some kids in the dorms that played this game. It was WAY to slow for me. Also, I felt like so many people that were really into this game were hardcore dorks, and I was always into some, not necessarily in style stuff.

Yeah, there are some people that take it to the ultimate extreme (those fools who carry a small sack on their waist at all times, ready to game whenever)... I enjoyed it for a while, but it got uber expensive to keep collecting EVERY new set that came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JELEINEN Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Ultimately, the game depended on how much money you were willing to spend on it, which is why I got out of it. The only card game I'm interested these days that doesn't require a regular poker deck is Illuminati, which thankfully isn't collectable (anymore anyway).

JELEINEN is right. magic became a game of money than anything else. oh well, good thing i quit. now to sell off my cards... you still know those dorks Agent ONE?

Keiichi Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 What's so special about the Black Lotus card? I read the card description, but I don't know anything about Magic the Gathering so it didn't make any sense ;-[. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 (edited) What's so special about the Black Lotus card? I read the card description, but I don't know anything about Magic the Gathering so it didn't make any sense ;-[. Basically you can add 3 ANY COLORED mana to your mana pool. This can help you tremendously in casting gold cards (multi colored) killer cards easily. Or just give you free 3 mana. Nowadays you don't get mana for free. You pay with your life or cards or something. no big deal really....just that its uber rare. Edited November 2, 2004 by wolfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
