I actually don't even get the reference but that is the kind of sentence we need more of!

About choosing avatars, I meant how you guys arrived at the decision to use a self-portrait/Sentinel/Vengevine/Tel-Jilad Chosen/Commodore Something-or-other the Gifted. I guess I'll use Tao 'til I think of something better.
Did I do something to earn the "DJ Blanton" nickname or was it just some random comment from Lucas?

Alright, I gotta admit, I'm loving that a few people have picked non-default avatars in the last day or two. I usually just eyeball the avatar to see who posted, so it gets really confusing when lots of people with the default pic post in a row.
And yes, when something like that happens, just assume it's Lucas. You'll more often than not be in the right.

Now I'm a monster. Raar!
I'm the Doctor.
When I was 14ish I made my first "real" internet-related account in the form of a steam account. I really liked half life so I set my icon to the orange-on-black lambda used as the game's icon. I just try to use the same pic/name wherever they're required as some form of internet integrity or something.

I guess I just like green a lot guys...
Looks like MaRo wrote an article just for CML today.
Linksy?
That's far from the biggest problem with this card.
Loyalty isn't an arbitrary number, it's literally counters. You can't remove more counters than it has, therefore it can never actually go negative, it can only go to zero.
It bugs me when people decide that they're going to make custom cards, decide to do something that has OMG NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE and don't bother checking to see if their card even *works*.
To be fair if Wizards wants a card to work they just rewrite the rules (ala True-Name Nemesis)
They could, but it'd be a pretty massive change. TNN defined a term that had no technical meaning yet (protection from a player). Making Planeswalker loyalty be just a number would kill interactions with Proliferate, Doubling Season, Vampire Hexmage, etc. Making some sort of bizarro negative loyalty counter spontaneously appear would be ... clunky.

nope. sunk a whole bunch of time into a doubling season modern deck based off the amulet of vigor engine before i was informed this in fact does nothing. : -/

They still come into play with double the loyalty, which still means instant ults for a lot of them, but probably not worth building around a 6 mana enchantment in modern.
It interacts with their starting counters, like FSR said. It doesn't do anything when you +X them. It's a pretty finicky interaction.

Doubling Season (5 mana) + Jace, Architect of Thought is an instant kill in Modern, and DS + Garruk, Primal Hunter may as well be.

this is such a dumb article, whether people read your article or not has much more to do with what site you're on and how much community dick you suck and what your results are, much less to do with its merit. maro can take his narrative of merit having much to do with it and shove it up his clogged narrow ... nostrils
(get it he has a nasally voice)
MaRo's articles are the only magic articles I regularly read, so he's got something right.
