That's just mean.

My elf deck is pretty much "play a bunch of good elves, many of which give your other elves +1/+1." And
Descendants' Path is always a fun part of an elf deck.
Also, Duels of the Planeswalkers is actually really, really good as a primer. It's also a fun diversion for people who already play. It's more or less the full rules (with a few exceptions), and you can play some neat challenges.

I started buying this stuff since its debut, and went all the way to 'Mirage', until I had to stop due to ecnomical reason...and never got to start again.
I am keeping myself busy with Magic WorkStation, so to keep track of the existing cards.
Do you still have your cards? Anything valuable?

It was a great way of playtesting decks and I didn't buy any less Magic cards because of it. I think it was a bad decision on Wizards' part but at least I have friends here locally to play. I have been considering getting Duels of the Planeswalkers for Steam. Anyone play this? What's your opinion on it?
Cockatrice was shut down because it was letting people play the equivalent of Magic Online (a product/service Wizards provides) for free by violating Wizards' copyright. It wasn't playtesting that they were worried about. It was people using at a substitute for real Magic.

Fair enough. Although I would only enjoy playing online against a human opponent playing said games if I can't play them face to face. :3
I can see the appeal of that. I also prefer playing with actual cards because I have a much bigger pool of cards to choose from when I'm building decks.
speaking of doees anyone know of any cards that have an effect similar to
Ensnaring Bridge? I use it in a burn deck to shut down agro decks and allow me to ignore creatures and just throw all my burn spells directly at players. But I kind of want to find another card with a similar effect so I can shut agro decks down more consistently.
Propaganda
Ghostly Prison
Sphere of Safety
Windborn Muse
Lightmine Field
Slumbering Dragon
Form of the Dragon is kind of really expensive, so it likely won't come out early enough to stop aggressive decks. But if you have a lot of mana, there's always
Blazing Archon. *cackles*
