Playing spirit ghouls in decline For what it's worth, this is the way the Small World game on the iPad is coded… |

When was the Lord Licorice character added to Candy Land? @Dave DuPlantis According to the Wikipedia page, there was a 1978 edition and a 1985 edition. I've done some web searches and 1984 edition comes up a lot. Perhaps in some countries the copyright was 1984 and in others it was published later as 1985? I don't know enough about the history of Candy Land… |

Has anyone heard of a rule called “19 back” for 0 point hands? Excellent answer. My first thought on hearing of the variant was "wow what a terrible, arbitrary, and harsh rule." Now that I've read your analysis and understood the ramifications, I see that it might be interesting in that it changes card selection and risk/reward calculations. |

How can I improve my deck building skills? Equipment (efficient, good equipment anyway) is generally the best form of creature buffing since it tends to get stronger as the game goes on. When you have lots of mana you can use it to buff an attacker then beef up a defender after combat. So in a way you are getting two cards for one. |

How can I improve my deck building skills? Wow, I was going to answer this but thesunneversets has pretty much said it all. What wins most competative Magic games is card advantage. Drawing a card is usually a small advantage, unless the card also does something else (a "cantrip")! Any card that replaces itself is generally good. |

What is the best lead when calling next on a declined bower? @Stephen OK, I understand the sequence and logic, but don't agree with the risk/odds calculation. It's more likely your Ace will take a trick than your partner will take diamonds. Also, you mention that if your partner leads an off suit ace later and is trumped that's another trump out of play. Well, it's the same result if someone trumps your Ace, so… you may as well lead it. |

What is the best lead when calling next on a declined bower? I don't understand this logic. Why do you need to keep it in reserve? A trick's a trick. You don't have any other high cards to play, so you don't need the lead later. Your best odds of taking the trick with ♡A are by leading it. If you lead diamonds, you only give your opponents a chance to slough hearts on them to trump your ace later. |

How many artifact lands can I play a turn? Oh, I don't know, there are a ton of cards which allow you to dump a bunch of lands down or otherwise accelerate your mana without investing in Moxes. ;) |

If I am building a road and I use the same tile twice, do I count that tile twice in order to determine the length of the road? As a sidenote, the same is true for city tiles, ie. using both ends of a tile with cap on each end, grass in the middle, in the same city. You count it once. |

What happens when I sacrifice a blocking creature? That turn structure table link is also out of date because it includes "damage on the stack" which is no longer part of the rules. Here is a more up-to-date turn structure from the MTG Wiki: wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Category:Turn_structure |

What happens when I sacrifice a blocking creature? @Charles Boyung as for Banding, it's not really removed so much as "deprecated" -- not used in new cards. What makes the ability confusing is that it really should be two abilities and that it gives "banded" creatures without Banding the benefits. Which is confusing and a bit weird. |
