Worldknit is far less interesting/fun when everybody has it.

4-0'd our 2HG prerelease. I'd like to say it was because I Cruel Ultimatum'd every game but it was probably because our GW deck drew the uncommon basically-green-gearhulk every round (also because our opponents constantly punted). Common vehicles in AER feel very mediocre, nothing on the level...

Nice I was gone for months and now I can catch up on the new RipLab memes.

But if they just wait till turn 6 they can play Felidar, blink a land, play their 6th land and cast Saheeli for the win with nothing but lands in play to start.

Lots of cards I'm looking at but at the very least the new 1WW double striker is probably replacing... one of the older 1WW double strikers.

Chandra's exile ability is nowhere near as good as Jace's brainstorm, even without shuffles. Still a very strong card. I like Pyromaster a lot and Torch of Defiance is probably just an upgrade (though hitting land drops with Pyromaster is nice).

The first thing that came to mind when I read Rashmi was a string of obscenities. I'm still not sure if it was in a good or bad way.

Made a lot of updates thanks to BFZ/SoI block, will continue to add more as I get cards that I want. My green section has gained so many toys in the last few blocks, hoping for some cool updates for red/blue in the coming sets. Recent roto draft of my updated cube, a guy had to pull out and we...

Looting is not the "greedy" play. Not looting because you want to keep your good-but-not-best card is the greedy play.

Finally moved into a new place and of course had people over to cube. 0-3'd trying out a GB Ulvenwald Mysteries + Gravecrawler and sac outlets deck (I think the deck would work if I had an actual curve), then 3-0'd with this: Ones 1 Mother of Runes 1 Dryad Militant 1 Student of Warfare 1...

Turn 2 domri on the play is pretty brutal for any slower deck to handle, which is nice because the all-counterspells-and-removal U/x decks are typically strong against the kind of RGx decks that want to play a mana dork on t1.

In my experience it hasn't been too hard, especially if you know you should be aiming to get 4 types into the yard while you draft/make mulligan decisions/etc. Obviously depends on the draft environment. It is more of a longer-game payoff for trading cards and moving cards between zones often so...

I worked on a bunch of GW shells for new standard, and they all seem to be fine but nothing too crazy. Eldrazi might be a better "second color." BW played a lot worse than it looks on paper. Doesn't have a good brick wall to put in front of crappy creatures so you have to actually kill...

(Fetch)land, instant, creature, sorcery isn't something you have to go out of your way to hit in a normal game. My problem with delirium is that most of the cards aren't that good. Duskwatch Recruiter and Gitgud Frog are going in for sure. Thalia's Lieutenant and Relentless Dead are likely...

My UB deck cast Displacement Wave and other removal spells with Elixir of Immortality after drawing through my deck with multiple looters, draw spells and Honden of Seeing Winds and usually won by decking them. Lost to an opponent activating Zameck Guildmage 5 times before casting any creature...

Quick thoughts on 'walkers printed after theros block/m15: Khans- Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker: kinda boring generic red 5. There are more interesting effects at this cost. Sorin, Solemn Visitor: less annoying than Lord of Innistrad. Kinda swingy as to how good he actually is any given game. Not...

Gonna celebrate my birthday by drafting my "new" "cube" of random cards I just threw into a 1000-count box.

Seer's Lantern is the bad mana rock/bad incremental advantage engine split card I never knew I wanted. Probably won't cube it but I'm tempted.

I've played about 10 games where I cast Demonic Pact with zero ways to get rid of it and only lost one of those games to the trigger. I won the other 9. It's a weird card.
