    What he actually ended up doing in that spot was flashing in briarhorn to block the ascetic (buffing itself). Than on the subsequent turn played spike feeder, moving a counter over to briarhorn. At that point he had stabilized at a fine life total, and at that point the game didn't revolve...

    Ascetic seems fine. At its worst, in a situation where you can't out tempo it, sweep it, or edict it, all it asks you to do is produce an X/4 blocker. I don't think its unreasonable to expect people to beat it. Even in the briarhorn game, while it warped the early-midgame around its presence...

    Have I used it in a draft before kirblinx? Was it just this one game on modo? That would be a little sad, as there is nothing I am really excited about running. I would probably just jam in something like giant trap door spider

    So thats step 1 of what I needed to have happen, now I just need melty to lose hard. Go Aston go! That deck is magnificent, and more along the lines of what I wanted to draft this week. It was a non-blue week, so I figured those decks would be well positioned. Its good to see that the old...

    Peasant Budget 360 Cube (old vs. new)

    You also have big pinging effects that damage you like: goblin artillery orcish artillery orcish cannoneers Which could couple pretty nicely for a low power R/B, R/G, or R/W life pay strategy.

    This is anatomically correct; it just is that her cloths are so bulky it creates an impression something is off-kilter. Actual paintwork is refreshing to see, and this is quite nice.

    Peasant Budget 360 Cube (old vs. new)

    The easiest thing to do would be to just copy the penny pincher cube, which will do everything you want on a budget, and I've even ran it in free-for-all multi-player environments and it checks out there. A lot of this looks like familiar territory. Some commentary on specific archetypes...

    I think this specific guy is just an idiot; there is nothing really from the video to support that he is a misogynist. Certainly the entire group appears irritated with him, and the dialogue from the group is directed at him as an outsider that no one invited who is ruining their gaming...

    General Next Design Contest Ideas

    Since no one has posted, list off your ideas! I thought it might be fun to have: 1. A challenge to design a fair storm card that is still good; or 2. A top-down design contest. Something where you select a line of poetry or prose, for flavor text, and than have to design a card that...

    Green tends to not have a lot of great aggressive 1 drop options in cube, or cheap token makers, so that puts a damper on the flipped sides +1. Using it as a bolt or trample buffer is kind of dull. It is a nice upgunned fires of yavimaya, however.

    General Line Check

    oh sorry, forgot to mention this was g1. I ended up winning the game at 1 life. Burn generally losses when it starts directing spells at creatures (unless its searing blaze) which I think is pretty normal for how those decks operate in general, which is why I'm not really considering anything...

    General Line Check

    The hand can do two things: 1. Ponder looking for second island, to setup spellstutter, than try to spellstutter them out of the game. 2. Jam delver, ponder turn 2, and race. Normally, in this spot, you want some combination of pressure and disruption, and here there is also a desire to find...

    General Line Check

    Its your turn, you're on the draw with a seven card keep, opponent has a suspended rift bolt. Oppo deck is burn, and you just drew daze. Format specifics shouldn't matter. Whats your plan for sequencing this hand?

    Ah, that makes more sense. I had attributed your aggreement with onder to his rejection of laz, which of course dosen't necessarily follow.

    I'm not sure if pointing out the function of nouns and verbs in language really addresses laz's argument. As a lawyer I can attest that there is a point where classification and semantics becomes distracting, or overwhelming. Keywords are meant to teach and facilitate instant recognition so as...
