    I used to love making UR tempo decks: Stromkirk Noble Delver Of Secrets Vapor Snag Man-o'-war Serendib Efreet Spellheart Chimera Super fun to play, just keep them on the back foot and kill them with one or two creatures. It plays nicely with some spells-matter cards, but they're not essential.

    It's been over a year, but I played magic a couple times recently and had lots of fun! I moved up to Cambridge a couple years ago, and a buddy I met here is interested in playing, so we dusted off the cube and had a grid draft. Decks! His: Mine: We only played one game, as it was really...

    Hey y'all. Me and a friend were thinking of picking up a few games of magic over the internet. What clients are the kids using these days? Peace.

    Hey y'all, I want to teach my colleague magic and have some interesting, hard games (he's been teaching me chess). I think this has come up before, but can anyone recommend some good decks we could print out and go head to head with? I don't need beginner stuff, I'll figure out some other way...

    Hey yall, any IT magicians here? At my office we've got a problem. Someone is sometimes managing to send us a fake web page instead of websites we request over http. The page they send us is fairly simple, it just shows a loading screen and then sits there mining cryptocurrency for someone...

    Ok I reverted the wordpress plugin that had broken the frontpage images. So they are back. The upshot is: We have ssl, which means when you go to riptidelab, you can be sure you are visiting the right website, and not some clever scam. Logging in should be fine, and private messages are most...

    Ok, got that, so those work again. However, all the images on the front page are broken. One reason for this is that gatherer doesn't have ssl and our card image plugin uses it for its pictures.

    Yeah, a related issue is the card tags are broken. I'm trying to figure it out. Anybody who knows how xenforo works, let me know.

    Good news! After much frustration, I set us up with an SSL certificate. What does that mean? It means it will be much harder for people to pose as riptidelab and steal your password. Beyond that, I don't really know.

    I've always kinda wanted to do the same thing, a "Utility Everything Draft" (UED). You could throw all these wacky cards in there like Jeskai ascendency or Doomsday. But maybe, rather than do a rotisserie draft with these cards, these "god pharoah's gift-shop" tokens could work more like...
