1d	comment	What are the most popular formats for Magic The Gathering? I'm not sure if that was supposed to be sarcastic or not. What I mean is, what objective criteria do you plan to use to rank the various formats in order to make the decision? What does popular mean to you? I elaborated on this in the first paragraph of my answer.
1d	comment	What are the most popular formats for Magic The Gathering? How you define popular?
1d	comment	What are the most popular formats for Magic The Gathering? I believe the limited tournament scene is as popular as any constructed format.
Jun 16	comment	Interactions of multiple Parallel Lives @Pablo I disagree: I think it's user5415's legitimate attempt at answering the question, (s)he simply misunderstands the exact mechanics involved. So it's an incorrect answer, not an invalid answer, if you follow my line of thought and (probably poorly chosen) terminology. That is to say, it's downvote material, but not delete material.
Jun 14	comment	Can instants be played after I decide not to block? There may actually be a rules difference between 'declining to block' and 'declaring zero blockers'. Aside from that, I like the real-world example.
Jun 11	comment	Is a robber laid a robber played? In this case, I would go with the "Don't sleep on the couch" strategy. Ergo, your wife was right. QED.
Jun 10	comment	What is the proper way way to play Butcher of Malakir and Falkenrath Noble? If he had an Archangel of Thune on the board as well in scenario 1, assuming his third opponent had 6 creatures to sac as well, it and the butcher and the noble all gain, err, 18 +1/+1 counters. Oh boy.
Jun 7	comment	Can Hydras be regenerated? Your comment makes me think a "resurrection shield" (akin to persist/undying) would be a cool, if confusing mechanic.
Jun 6	comment	Sacrificing to regenerate from Supreme Verdict Not only can you, but it's to your advantage. If instead of using supreme verdict, they used Righteous Fury, he wouldn't gain the life for your troll, and also wouldn't gain that life for the sucker you sac'd either.
Jun 6	comment	What chance do I have of my foil being a rare or mythic? Clearly you would have 10 commons, 3 uncommons, 7/8 of a rare, and 1/8th of a mythic rare.
May 22	comment	What is this brick-based board game? When I read brick-based game I immediately thought of Settlers of Catan... :-X
May 21	comment	Good stories for werewolf/mafia? To follow up on Ire's comment, a great way to turn an off-topic question into an on-topic one is to approach it from the perspective of solving a problem you face. When I do this, I often quickly find I'm actually asking the wrong question!
May 16	comment	Games that have no element of luck. I believe Connect Four is a solved game. In that sense, the only skill there is is to memorize the solution.
May 16	comment	Games that have no element of luck. The only aspect of luck I would see in this game would be "I'm good at identifying sets of colors, but not identifying sets of shapes. It's unlucky for me to get board configurations where the correct sets are shapes." So in that sense it could be considered luck, but I would simply consider that a deficiency in skill.
May 16	comment	Is pretending to want to trade before playing a monopoly card objectionable? I love the first line of this answer. I had never thought of it that way. Much of Catan is about making yourself better that I think the real flavor of this card is a tad overlooked.
May 9	comment	Glaring Spotlight anti-hexproof work on enchantments Only until Wizards releases "Target creature can no longer be the target of spells and abilities your opponents control, even if other effects have made that creature targetable" or some other crazy hullabaloo...
Apr 29	comment	How should I determine how many lands of each different color to put in my deck? Then we'll need to agree to disagree. I've found it to be case enough to make it a "rule of thumb". There's a huge number of other factors, too, of course - double-colored mana cost (e.g. Garruk's Companion), your curve, meta games, etc. Just like I don't use formulas to determine my mana pool, I don't use formulas to determine my card composition either. But I do use it as a rule of thumb and have found that avoiding color skew leads to more wins and a higher average power level. YMMV.
Apr 29	comment	How should I determine how many lands of each different color to put in my deck? As noted in the answer, the determination of a playable card isn't a scientific exercise. But if you have 16 good cards for white weenie, you still have at least 7 more spells required for another color. You're (generally) better off not going 16-7, but rather more like 13-10 or 12-11. In otherwords, of those 16 cards, three of them have to be the least synergetic. It's very very likely spells 8, 9 and 10 in that other color will be better than spells 16, 15, and 14 in white. So that's why you shouldn't play all of them. Will you have times when they are? Yeah, it can happen, but unlikely.
Apr 24	comment	At regular REL can players rewind the game state? Also consider that a player on the other side of the table making those kinds of mistakes is probably going to lose anyway, so you have considerably less risk letting it rewind in the more casual environments. At an REL I wouldn't expect someone to let it be taken back. "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen" type thing.
Apr 23	comment	When should I activate Man Lands and Keyrunes in order to attack with them? @Rawrgramming After rereading your updated answer, I still find two significant errors. I addressed them in an edit to my answer containing two different scenarios, one of which happily ends with a drunk judge.
