Just listened to #122 Why don’t you like season 6 of Buffy?I’m the only one in my family that liked Once More With Feeling

I very much enjoy “Once More with Feeling”. I felt the season as a whole was one of the weakest of the whole run. It deviated too much from the feel of the rest of the series.

Since white is getting symmetric draw, does that mean Timetwister effects are now in white? (Such as Once More With Feeling?)

We’re limiting how many cards are getting drawn as above a certain level, it’s too much like traditional card draw. So, no.

How long until we get a musical special Drive to Work where you do what most people do and sing along to their favorite songs? If it hasn't been taken, you could title it "Once More With Feeling" :)

I refer to myself as “tone hard of hearing”. You all don’t want me singing. : )

With Look at Me, I'm R&D out and all instances of 1 changed to 0, does Once More with Feeling kill everyone? (10 becomes 00)

It doesn’t change numerals, it changes numbers. 10 is ten not a one and a zero.

I was reading old answers tonight and I came across a couple that suggest you weren't a big fan of the sixth season of Buffy. Is there a short way to explain why?

I liked the last few episodes of the season and “Once More With Feeling” is one of my favorite episodes, but overall I felt the sixth season was the worst overall because the storyline was sluggish and spun it’s wheels for most of the season. I also didn’t like how the “magic as drug” metaphor was handled.

You were going to check what was the flavor text on Once More With Feeling. Friendly reminder :)

Thanks. Now that I’m back at work, I can look it up.

Was looking thru random cards and found "Once More with Feeling" and couldn't help but wonder if it was named after the Buffy episode. If so, what made you name it that?

The card actually predates the Buffy episode but I like to think Joss and I are on the same wavelength.  For those that don’t know, the term comes from acting in film/television. It’s what a director says when he wants a more emotional take from an actor.

Gerrymandering, Goblin bookie, Hungry Hungry Heifer, Mine mine mine!, mirror mirror, once more with feeling. Could these cards be printed in black bordered world with color pie and ruling ajustments?

Assuming we avoid the same name in black border/silver border issue, here’s where they stand: Gerrymandering: Fine in black border. Quirky for green but doable. Goblin Bookie: Has the problem of dice not meaning anything in black bordered Magic. Fits red fine. Hungry Hungry Heifer: Could be done in black border design-wise. I don’t know about development-wise. I’m not sure what color gets this philosophically so green seems fine. Mine, Mine, Mine!: Same as Hungry Hungry Heifer except I think I know this is broken development-wise. Pretty sure this wants to be blue not green. Once More With Feeling: Fine design-wise. I think fine development-wise but not my call. White seems fine.

What is your favorite episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Also, any chance we could see another Slayer in Magic someday? (Raksha the Slayer is a bit outdated).

I’m a big fan of “Once More With Feeling” (the musical episode) although I think Sixth Season is the worst one. “Innocence” from Season Two is also one of my favorites.
