thehermitic: askjace: epicsmith93 replied to your post: Poison is still 10 counters in EDH They should up that 20 counters, considering all the proliferate, infect, and just unblockable spells put there and Rafiq The last time I cast Blightsteel Colossus was in a game of EDH, and I was informed that poison was 25 in that playgroup. Proceeded to take that now piece of garbage card out of...

Hazy Reverie: Commander Defined →
hazyreverie: “Yeah, ignorant people exist, but in the Commander perspective, we can’t really tell them how to play.

thehermitic: asknissarevane: ((Yeah.. I know its fake.. but what?)) If this is supposed to be a fake Innistrad spoiler, they ruin it by putting replicate on the card. …I love how every single fan-made Planeswalker I see has “You get an emblem” as the ultimate now.
