Cannot be regenerated is different, as cards which are destroyed and cannot be regenerated are still sent to the graveyard and are subject to Raise Dead, etc as well as anything that looks at the graveyard. "Buried" means out of the game entirely. If I use Dark Banishing on your Shivan Dragon, he's gone. You can't reanimate him later, and he doesn't count towards your graveyard card count in the case of Threshold.
Edit: Look at Dark Banishing and Incinerate. One says Bury, one says Cannot be Regenerated, but they are cards which existed simultaneously. If I Incinerate something and it's killed, it goes into the graveyard without a chance to be regenerated. However, you can Raise Dead, Zombify, Death Denied, etc it next turn and bring it back into play/your hand.
However, if I Dark Banish something, it's gone completely. Poof! into nothingness. You can't regenerate it, and you also can't bring it back later, or count it as a card in your graveyard. You'd set it aside, face down, next to your graveyard.
Nope. The terms:
Destroy: place into graveyard, can be regenerated.
Destroy and can't be regenerated: like it says, into graveyard.
Bury: newer wording of "destroy and can't be regenerated", target goes into graveyard, but is still in the game and can be returned by other effects. It's the exact same effect, they just used a simpler wording, much like "unaffected by summoning sickness" became "haste".
Remove from game: remove from game completely, can not in any way be saved or brought back into the game.
Dark Banishing only buries the target. It goes into the graveyard like any other dead creature. Remove from game effects are much less common, Swords to Plowshares for example. Unless it clearly states on the card "remove from game", it just goes to the graveyard.
The reason Incinerate uses "can not be regenerated" is because it doesn't automatically kill the target like "bury" would. If the 3 damage + any other damage that turn doesn't kill it, the target survives.

Really? I stand corrected, then. Everyone I've talked has said "Bury" meant "Remove from the game". Ok, thanks for the info. What was the purpose of distinguishing between "Bury X" like Dark Banishing and "Destroy X" ala Shatter?

Hopefully this doesn't defy MtG's rules too mindbogglingly... Thanks for the intro and basics, Zentei.

I couldn't find any pics of that nature. Could you be a bit more specific?
Verilonitis
Hot pants? (I had to check Urban dictionary for this, apparently something before my time.) What pic would you recommend?

It was mostly 2000AD's idea, I just put it together and found the pic.
Thanks anyways.

These all look amazing.
What program is used to generate the templates?
Or do you copy an existing card and crop out the image and text?

It's a really good program for this type of work. It has the templates for virtually every card on file, and its very easy to use.

No no, I meant that I couldn't find the original specs you posted for the card, and I wanted you to repost them.

Honestly, the things I miss by being offline for a while. Well, being the old-school M:tG freak that I am, here's my card.
Any suggestions or tweaks welcome
LadyTevar
2WWGG

Text: If Lady Tevar is in play, SirNitram gains +2/+0. If LadyTevar is removed from play, all BlackMages gain +2/+0 and Trample until end of opponent's next turn.
G(t): Add +2 to any attack made by a BlackMage
W(t): Redirect damage from any BlackMage to LadyTevar.
GW(t): Tevar's Hammer Strike. Target Male phases out for 2 turns.

Thanks Noble Ire.
Magic the Gathering is a complex card game, which uses cards similar to the ones which are being posted here. Apparently, the bulk of SD.netters have played this game (I have, too, but I was never very good at it, plus the only person who'd play me most of the time was a two-time junior regional champion at it who unapologetically kicked my ass).
The basic idea of the game is simple enough, though. Players get, IIRC, 21 life points to start off with, and must knock the other players down to 0 to win with various creatures and magic cards.

Oh Ok, Thanks
I was searching through the thread and saw that Lord Zentei had posted the whole idea a few pages in... I'll be reading that later when I have more time
Thanks guys. Sorry for posting the question that keeps popping up
Oh and if it hasn't been done already I'd like to see one for Cpl Kendall as well
If anyone feels like doing one of course
