Nothing like playing Choking Fumes to turn their 10,000 tokens into 0/3s. What's even more fun is making them actually put the counters on.

Yesterday I played a red white and blue control deck with the combo built into it, and I did much better than my friend who ran straight up R/U Splinter Twin. In fact, I even sided the com...

Sometimes I think wizards doesn't think when they make cards and then realize "Oh, this card makes an easy turn four infinite combo and its standard (for now), oops"
