MTG New Rules

[Slash5150]

Hey, I know at the last meeting we were all pissed at the new rules for MTG.  So I talked to some of the people at Borderlands as well as reading those tip cards when I bought a box of M10.  And the rules haven't changed that much.

Basically, the new rules state that when combat damage is assigned, its assigned immediately.  So basically if you have 3 creatures blocking, you can't kill one, then beef your own up, then kill another one before it kills you or whatever.

The other rule change is that there is no mana burn.

wowwwww. That could significantly simplify the combat metagame / how instants are used.

It does, but a lot of people were thinking that if you go

Declare Attackers
Declare Blockers
Combat Phase
Then you drop say a giant growth, people assumed you could reassign blockers.

It cripples my Mogg Fantatic centered Goblin Suicide deck.
I for one do not like it.

Well, the new rules are the new rules, it just prevents combat dickery. 

once I get...I believe 5 cards off the internet my deck (Type 2 Legal) will be good to go

I'm too lazy to re-learn the rules.  I'm probably just done with this game in general.

My deck was built around combat dickery.
I've already hung up the cards because of this.
