News that is surprising

I'm feeling lazy right now, so I'm just going to supply links with little commentary.

IUPAC formally recognizes element 112. No name as yet.

Magic 2010 Rules Changes. Easily biggest change since 6th edition. If you haven't already heard about it, you will be very surprised by some of these.

...no, that's just wrong. There hasn't been such a concept as multiple forms of removed from play since before 6th edition, Josh. I think the functional change you're talking about happened 10 years ago and is not at all a big deal. The zones are library, hand, graveyard, in play (now "battlefield"), RFG'd (now "exile"), stack, phased-out, and ante if you're playing for such. Phasing does kill tokens, yes. That may well be a change from how things used to be many years ago, but it's been that way for quite some time.

*Shrug* Ok then. That probably shows I haven't been paying enough attention to things then. Although I have to say, seeing phasing kill tokens seems really weird given the flavor of phasing being a skip through time.
