    Not selective enough to be really dangerous, and I really tried. The discard is cute but that's always the least interesting part of a Balance - I'd rather stick people back to 2-3 mana as a safety valve. FSR's experiment with curves has also been critical to Cataclysm being fun in the...

    I'm queer, so are most of my Magic-playing friends, and we're all pretty stoked that Wizards are being less chickenshit about this. They're still super reluctant to include things clearly on the actual cards but baby steps. (Daretti is an example of them doing this right, IMO) Do you not get...

    General Do finishers have to be so boring?

    Tasigur rules. I'm running all five of the tribrid khans and he's tied with Alesha in terms of impact. Basically a perfect card imo. Not really a six, though, usually 2-4.. If you want a Grave Titan replacement, I've had a great time with Massacre Wurm. Remember that the second ability is...

    It's a shame we didn't get a pinger with Dash and non-zero power this block. That would've been awesome. (i still love you, vithian stinger, even if nobody else does)

    That's what I was getting at with the reverent hunter distinction, sorry! Also this is your excuse to bust out some sick Alpha templating.

    I tried both Spikeshot Goblin and Kaboomist and even though i wanted them to be good they were not. I theme artifacts along red so i was really excited about kaboomist but even with toughness boosts and ways to take advantage of free artifacts the card was sadly lacklustre.

    Chess is probably the best game, you're right. But my friends who play have higher ELOs than i do and my friends who don't lack chess theory. I guess i'm just miffed that at the high levels chess is about study and precedent whereas magic has less study and more reading your opponent. it's...

    Does anyone have a quasi-triple-RoE (or maybe RGDDGR) cube list i can proxy? Would be awesome as a second cube but I don't really want to do too much work.

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    this is wrong, magic templating is not english, it's a programming language Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control [trigger event] if it has a +1/+1 counter on it [intervening if clause] you may draw a card. [effect] We want (a less stupid-sounding): Whenever a...

    How consistently was flip Lily a walker and how often was she a worse Nighthawk? Has Wheel been fun to play? Does it show up outside of combo or aggro? What else in the environment supports it? (sick deck!)

    CML, if you don't mind I'd love your opinion on strategical depth in Magic and in poker - it seems pretty germane to the question of 'best game'! Personally, I've gone back and forth on whether Magic is the best nonphysical social game I've played but I've played an awful lot of indie...
