Cleaner [klee-ner] adj
1. characteristic valued by a programmer's personal preference for something that cannot otherwise be justified using accepted Software Engineering principles: This approach increases cyclomatic complexity and reduces encapsulation. It's cleaner, do it.

May 14	comment	Can an opponent destroy an Iron Maiden during their upkeep to avoid taking damage from it? He's not completely doomed, there are cards, e.g., Stifle, One With Nothing, that could still save him, but Disenchant isn't gonna do the job.
May 14	comment	If my opponent tries to resolve a triggered ability out of order, did they miss their opportunity to do so? This is a judging question. As with all judging questions there is no single absolutely correct answer. It will depend on if the judge feels seeing the extra card has any relevance to the decision to untap. (And if they actually looked at the card or just had it in their hand because they reached across the table to do everything at once.) (And to some extent REL even though it really shouldn't matter.)
May 13	comment	Where can I find price-lists for Star Trek CCG cards? @Craig I personally take that as the market tacitly admitting that there is really almost no collector value for these things and their value is derived chiefly from desire to play the game and power level in the game :)

May 13	comment	Storage Wars: MtG Black Lotus, others, actual worth? Cannot tell from the picture how serious the damage to the lotus is. That could be a mild crease or it could be a full tear that's been repaired, which could take several hundred dollars off the retail value. The other two, if you look closely, have square corners, they are collector's edition cards, not "real" magic cards, worth maybe $50 each at most if you're a retailer that can find buyers interested in them. Given the incredible hassle of parting out an retailing a collection, I doubt he got ripped off, unless there were playsets of dual lands in those "uncommons."
May 11	awarded	Nice Answer
May 10	comment	How do Lazav, Dimir Mastermind and Vigor work together in Magic the Gathering? Also incidentally, noticing the way you worded the first sentence, remember Lazav would only trigger if your opponent owns the Vigor.

Apr 26	comment	Sorcery supercedes instant? There is only one stack. It is a game zone. Spells do not "start a stack." It's always there. Mixing terminology with Yu-Gi-Oh chains is a bad path to follow :)
Apr 23	comment	How does Valakut trigger with a card like Harrow or Scapeshift putting multiple mountains into play? This is incorrect. The first check of the if condition occurs when the trigger condition is met, not when the ability would be put on the stack. These are not the same time. It matters for spells like Hypergenesis where things are not entering the battlefield simultaneously.
Apr 20	comment	Can I have multiple copies of a creature with Cipher? "This can happen as many times as you can manage to deal COMBAT damage to a player with the creature." -- important distinction :)
Apr 12	answered	Infractions/Player Communication - Infernal Tutor and Lion's Eye Diamond
Apr 12	comment	Infractions/Player Communication - Infernal Tutor and Lion's Eye Diamond Just an addendum, because of the way you asked the original question, the correct answer for a communication issue in a CREL event is always "whatever the head judge that day thinks."
Mar 13	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? For commons and uncommons of any 'modern' set the answer will pretty much always be "that color was too good in draft testing"
Mar 13	answered	D4 dice that are truncated tetrahedrons?
Mar 12	comment	How can I balance mandatory quests in two-player games of Lords of Waterdeep? IMO take them out entirely. And if you ever find a worker-placement game that actually scales down to two players really well, let me know!!!
Mar 12	comment	Are counters (noun) physical things? Note that using other cards is forbidden in the context of a sanctioned event :)
