Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

| I added beatdown and infinite, but I’m not the best at defining stuff, so I could use some suggestions on the actual definition of broken. |

I think the following should be removed:
CotS - Citadel of the Stars. Okay, so this card was last used... when?
HiDaN - Help in Doubt and Need. This used to be powerful, but with rotation and the shifting of cultural strengths this one has no reason to be listed.
TaS - Thin and Stretched. A good card, but I’ve never seen it abbreviated.
And to be added:
D / Decipher, the big dog. |
Riddle 9
When I came to Abraham I let him live just a moment longer. When I came to Moses I saved his life more than once. But the salmon... I regret to say I had a hand in its death.
Who am I? |
