Hello, planeswalker!

I learned how to play MTG from Portal before I moved into Mirage and 5th. Edition. I've been playing ever since. My favorite decks (in order, follow the links for explanations of the decks' history):

1) Goblins
2) Academy
3) Dredge-a-Tog
4) Prosperous Bloom
5) Necro
6) Workshop/MUD
7) Ghost Husk
8) Ghazi Glare
9) Zombies

My favorite Magic cards are (in order):

1) Tolarian Academy
2) Psychatog
3) Goblin Lackey
4) Goblin Welderfoil
5) Necropotence
6) Mind Over Matter
7) Sundering Titan
8) Braingeyser
9) Squandered Resources
10) Metalworker.

Here's a read that will change your life and the way you play games: Playing to Win by David Sirlin (one of the designers behind Street Fighter).

Also, be sure to check out my folders page for information regarding older decks. I've been working on creating an extensive archive of decks from various Pro Tour Top 8s and explanations for certain cards.

Said on Chaos Orb and …...

#1

If I make a copy of Chaos Orb, does the token cease to exist after it's been activated as per CR 111.7 since it is no longer on the battlefield? The oracle text on Chaos Orb says " flip it onto the battlefield," implying it must be off the battlefield. If Chaos Orb does count as leaving the battlefield when it is activated, where does it go? Is it technically exiled? In the "air space" zone?

(Yes, there's a reason WotC no longer prints these kinds of cards)
