oh is maro's article up? let me try and find it

Its a huge shame this is something you have to opt into, instead of being a core and guiding principle of EDH.

This of course is personal preference, so if that's what you want, more power to you.

I mean, if a 5 mana 3/4 that can shit out creatures like it's going out of fashion doesn't get there, your cube is blindingly fast, as games must be either effectively over before turn 5, or board states are like some kind of post-apocalyptic, thunderdome-style wastelands: two creatures enter...

I'd call that a problem with your one drops.

It looks fine to me, and that's me saying that. Might be able to delve it out a bit quick if you're really fetchland heavy; probably fairer if there's some competing demand for the resource of 'cards in graveyard' in other delve, or llurgoyfs, or stuff like that so there's actual opportunity...

c) slow-rolling - exacerbating b) - because of a) is considered good manners(?)

I think at the beginning of spin, or rather, after C&C, enough stuff existed that you could start formulating decks that did A Thing, rather than 45 card good stuff decks, even if the 45 card good stuff decks had a bunch of synergy. With C&C, reliable Yog.0saurus Kit decks became a thing, you...

I think basically the thing with white weenie is that it its like RDW only instead of just fucking killing you with burn, it prisons you out to try and stay on turn 3 forever. Geddon is clearly the original way of doing this: 1 drop, 2 drop, 1 drop and 2drop, geddon so you don't get your 4s and...

I haven't tried draft, no. It seems mad expensive to play given everything else about the game. I sort of want to make a cube, but you need to build a corp cube and a runner cube to make it make sense, and I suspect you need to more-than-triple some cards, which makes it pricy to start up...

Right, but if you're struggling with your UWR cube, it's not a particularly useful suggestion to say 'add green; you need ramp', whereas a lot of suggestions are 'double up on gravecrawlers' or 'add custom cards'. But then I said to that pauper sliver caryatid question 'just add the rare' so...

Are you using shadow here as can't block/be blocked, or are you going to seed some shadow elsewhere, as I think that's actually an interesting distinction to think about.

Also, we all have arbitrary rules. We all run some monocolour cards. Our cubes all have all 5 colours represented. We all run removal. We all run creatures, and non-basic lands, and instants, and sorceries and so on and so forth. Saying that some rules (singleton, no-shuffle, pauper, no-custom...

I guess part of my point is that point 2 in the OP isn't quite formulated right? Designing a game is designing for players. I can design the perfect game, but if 90% of players don't find it fun, then it's not a good design. If players can be upset that their assumptions both aren't catered to...

I'm going to go all MaRo on this as this is the comfort/surprise/completion thing he likes to bang on about. On point one, having an excuse for a non-completion still means there is no completion which means that people are on tenterhooks wanting the thing to be completed, because that is...

I don't mean to be a dick, but yeah, that's probably why he's not better; especially given he existed in an environment with easy sacrificing in the first place.

I like that last one. E: in leaving this tab open a while reading something else, my doubling down on the evasive action comes across less well.

The problem on modo is that they decided to hand spin their interface elements, rather than using the tried and tested built in windowing systems. That and their aforementioned refusal to hire anyone who's good enough to actually want paying market rate.

Only this one's actually crap, rather than being change and change is scary.

It always amazes me how little Wizards is willing to pay its technical people; the job adverts always have rock-bottom salaries for the job description, and they're trading on the cachet of you're working at wizards. This means they get people who aren't good at computers, because the people who...
