Except that a majority of the darksteel cards are pretty bad and only a couple were used in very specific decks, plus I would personally consider it pretty mundane. Pitty too, Time Spiral and Ravnica were pretty amazing blocks that you missed.

not to mention that you can still bounce, exile, humble them (if they are creatures) and let them be sacrificed. plus reducing their toughness to zero (again, if they are creatures) still destroys them.

Impressed that this game is still going strong. I used to be way too addicted to it. Spending too much of my free time during school. What was great about it is the many places that let you can play at. There was a comic/bookstore ran by D&D fanatics, that attracted many good players. They often play D&D there after closing up shop and allowed us MtG players to stay too. Before then, we'd gather at odd places late at night, like White Castles.
As for theft, happens way too often. One guy had his whole backpack of cards disappear. I'd cry. During one convention there was a lady that kept playing footsies with me and snuggling, petting my white mox. No, that mox is mine, b. I've won one sanctioned tournament at a convention with a white speed deck. The side bar is what did the trick...land tax for land destruction decks, etc. Back before there were too many restrictions added. Well, I sold most all my betas just below peak and got the top of the line PC of that time.

exactly. destroy is just one way to kill a permanent.

and to think how much richer you would be now if you didn't sell them off :P
A couple years ago I had a ton of older duel lands and other highly sought after eternal cards that I had bought for 200 dollars. I ended up selling them all for about 600, and then like TWO WEEKS afterwards the price for nearly every card I sold sky rocketed due to some new policies from WotC. I probably could have gotten about triple the price if I had just waited a little bit... FML.
