comment what is a storage counter on a land card and how do you use it?
@thesunneversets I think you're only partly right, there has been some standardization of +X/+Y counters to +1/+1 and -1/-1 and when counters are a theme in a set they have a consistent name, eg. Charge counters on artifacts in Mirrodin. But "one-off" imaginative counters still show up regularly. See Assemble the Legion‌​, Azor's Elocutors, Grimoire of the Dead etc.

comment What are the chances of shooting the moon in Hearts?
@TimLymington Gah, you are correct, I forgot to account for the fact that in Hearts, the 2 of clubs is always led first. In short, any guaranteed inevitable moonshot hand requires the Ace of Clubs. Your empirical opinion matches my experience. :)

Fear not, it still works with Doubling Season ;)

Right, I got that. But Storage Counters on lands were used 9 years before Mirrodin was released and Charge Counters first used, so there is no relation.

Nope, storage counters were used on lands in Fallen Empires in 1994. Energy Counters are only used on Energy Vortex, a card in Mirage. You may be thinking of Charge Counters, like on Mirrodin's Core, but that wasn't released until 2004. Obviously there was no consideration of interaction with counters which wouldn't be used for another 10 years.

The card's rules text tells you what to do with the storage counters. What's unclear?

comment Do cards that say “Each player…” target me?
I thought at first the word "spells" would be enough, but I added the caveat "when they are on the stack" so hopefully that's clear enough.

@AviadBenDov I can still meet with my friends, hang out on the sofa and pass-and-play. No huge table and setup required! :)

@thesunneversets That's a good point and I shall reword my answer.

@thesunneversets Auras target something only when the spell is on the stack. If a Zur the Enchanter, for example, puts the Curse on the battlefield, it will not be affected by Shroud. see CR 303.4a and 303.4f
