"Scholars say that Arbiters exist on every world, created by an unknown hand to enforce justice."
Old picture I did while looking at a Magic: The Gathering card. If you haven't figured it out yet, I have an interest in robot-things. This image was actually so big that the left and right sides did not entirely fit onto the scanner, which is also why an edge is a bit funny looking.

I always liked this card, mostly because my Mirrodin based deck used it as one of my tear inducing control cards. I loooove controlling my opponent! He's a 4 cost 1/5 artifact creature. His abilities are the real special, though 5 defense is nothing to laugh at. Ability 1: No more than 1 creature may attack each turn. Ability 2: No more than 1 creature may block each turn. What went with that?
Leonin Abunas has the ability: artifacts you control can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control. Suddenly, they can't touch Silent arbiter anymore. Or lightning greaves. Or whispersilk cloak. Or loxodon warhammer. Or banshee's blade. Or some artifact that put counters on the banshee's blade.
A whispersilk cloak has: equipped creature can't be the target of spells or abilities. Equipped creature is unblockable. On the abunas in time, my opponent is in big trouble, because all artifacts are untouchable by them, including said whispersilk cloak. Said cloak makes the abunas untouchable by anything too, so it's a nearly unstoppable combo, unless you use a "hit everything" card.
At that point, since only 1 thing attacks and blocks a turn thanks to silent arbiter, I have the time to patiently get a loxodon warhammer, spirit link, sword of kaldera, etc onto a creature, and proceed to splat my way through single defenders while using color protection, or fly over them to attack, or use a spare cloak to unblockably hit them. The best part? The loxodon warhammers and spirit links each give a life gain = to damage dealt, and yes each one multiplies it. Rag on using white/artifact all you want, I've never had more fun than with this deck.

I gave in to M:tG because my friends shoved a free deck into my hands. And I kept adding a new card in here or there to stay competitive with them. What I like about it is that you can do so many things in a game depending on how you make up your deck. The depths of strategy are mind-blowing.
Also-I have a bootleg program called Magic Workstation that lets me make up all the decks I want without any actual cards. You have to pay to be able to play others online though.

Har, created some interesting cards then, have you? I do remember one card that was messed up... Platinum Angel? Your opponents can't win the game, but you can't lose it either. XD
I also heard of that workstation too, same people in my guild were talking about it.

My deck couldn't do anything to get rid of a platinum angel. But then of course, if my life total is going nowhere but up every turn... Considering I had a card that doubled my life total and the got shuffled back into the deck, if worst came to worse then I would simply draw that card every turn and they would deck out eventually.
Workstation allows me to make eeevil decks with my favorite mixes, those being white/any other color. White and blue is my particular favorite though, there is no other combo that controls everything more than that, though white/black comes close.
