    General NWO

    Oh and Brann pissed me off too. When you played a card with battlecry that had a target, you couldn't choose new targets for the second ability. Which is unintuitive and isn't how the card text reads. There's tons of examples of cards not behaving how they read, and a player is forced to...

    General NWO

    The thing I hate most about Hearthstone cards is that I can't always look and the card and know what it does. Like Dr. Boom (Bots), or Sindagrosa (Frozen Chapions). How is one supposed to know what they do, unless they've played against them before? And they could somewhat fix that by having...

    General Fight Club

    It's a bit tangential, but the most fun I've ever had playing "a lifegain deck" was with this crew: Festering Newt Bubbling Cauldron Bogbrew Witch Angelic Accord Trading Post

    But then that thread would become a hive of innovation for developing the utility sleeve draft!

    General Game Design - Threats vs Removal

    Patrick Sullivan had a nice rant on the topic few weeks ago or so, when he was discussing the newly spoiled Ravenous Chupacabra. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/215979455?t=7h29m54s It hits on this topic very nicely. The Chapin article is behind StarCityGame's premium paywall, but I'm sure its...

    General The Izzet League (UR)

    Hi friends! UR has long struggled with identity in my opinion, relegated to "spells matter" and "tempo" a lot of the time, without clear identity. I'm looking for ideas for strong, clear themes in UR with some nice anchor cards. What are you running in your Izzet sections? What...

    vennythekid's Card Ideas Blog

    Just me thinking out loud, with a place to put these thoughts: After reading through the RUG grid-draft stack thread, I really like the idea. I've also been looking for something like this for 2-player limited magic for when I'm inevitably bored over winter break. The dragon theme really...

    General Basic Lands

    When I went to GP Atlanta last year (KLD limited) they provided all the players with full arts from the new Zendikar block. I asked the organizers for an extra sealed land pack, and ended up with two! So that's what I've furnished my cube with

    I ran Runechanter's Pike in my Riptide-style cube for a long time, and it was hardly ever drafted, much less played.

    Hearthstone

    I got my first ever 12-win Arena run today! I was playing Mage/Hunter (Steady Shot HP) and had a great curve into Rexxar DK which sealed a lot of games for me. Coin + Archanologist into Hunter Secret was a huge tempo opening for me several times. My one loss was to a Paladin/Warlock deck that...

    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    What a nice write-up Grillo :D You've got me really excited about this format and I just had to give it a whirl... which turned out much better than I expected. I saw the Drake Haven P1P1 and instantly went to discard effects to try and abuse it. That led to an early Seismic Assault and some...

    I've been playing mostly to get quests. I took my RenoLock deck to rank 12 though, lol
