love how people likes to play this with twincast and fork :)
play this with twincast to someone you like (as long as she also plays magic) = mini-magic date. :)

Shahrazad is not legal in EDH. EDH uses VIntage legal cards plus its own banlist, and while Shahrazad isn't on the EDH ban list, it's not a Vintage legal card either. Someone tried to make the case that Un set cards are EDH legal too, because they aren't on the banlist. :/
There used to be an explicit exception for Shahrazad to make it EDH legal but they dropped it, probably because it's not a very fun card to play against.
@NuckChorris
Since you can't use this in sanctioned events, the question has no real answer; but back when it was legal, I'd presume that the subgame isn't recorded.

The reason it's banned is possibly because of the Shahrazad-Mox Pearl deck that was legal in the beginning of the game. Here's the list:
125xShahrazad
125xMox Pearl
There was no 4-of limit at that time, so this was a legal deck. However, the only was it could win was by decking (or 5 activations in a single game). There are about 7 subgames in order to deck someone, so the total number of games is 1+5+5^2+5^3+5^4+5^5+5^6+5^7 to win the main game.

The reason this is banned in vintage is NOT because it is annoying as hell, or time restraints. It is because in a tournament setting, there is simply not enough room or resources for players to start subgames, especially multiple subgames. Also, calling a judge over to ask a question in a subgame is ludicrous

Hands down the best card ever printed. You can keep your Black Lotuses and Yawgmoth's Wills. This card reads: 2 Mana equals 10 damage. It doesn't get better. The claim that this card is "disruptive" is overblown. This card is just plain fun. I certainly hope I can play this card again in a tournament soon!

does anyone realise that on the card it says that the player who loses loses half their remaining life points rounding *down* yet on the magic de***ion it says rounding *up*. That's a fail magic
