That's all dependent on playgroup of course. People who actually treat EDH as a living game and aren't slaves to Sheldon's bizarre fetishes are probably actually having fun; I mock my friends who come to me with shitty stories about getting ultra blown out in EDH (constantly) by asking 'but you...

My main problem with EDH is people going 'EDH is casual and not serious' and then being the most seriousest seriouses around. My secondary problem with it is it just isn't well designed. It's hundred card singleton except you know lets just all run every tutor we want so that we can ignore...

EDH needs a bullet to the skull (in it's current form)

Totally depends on your density of enchantments auras? Which also totally depends on your quality of removal.

I'm not going to outright disagree with your position on fixing, but the incentives to actually be two colour aren't great either; this may improve with the 2 colour gods. I mean, lets run RW agro! Do we really want to curve-top with aurelia, the warleader at 6 mana? Compared to either devotion...

I'd argue that's a skill in drafting to spot when monored is free or not and not to get tunnel-vision-y. Also, with enough overlapping themes (haha, modo cube) you should be able to recover a bit better.

Also, I think the current standard is a side effect of mono-devotion being good for constructed, and some of the guilds from RtR being garbage for constructed. The UB god will have to be reeeeally good to make a UB standard deck viable. I mean, you know, a UB deck that isn't acctually...

Without enough data to actually back this up, I'm going to disagree here. I think the most important design component of Riptide Cubes is, you know, actual design, rather than jamming power/good cards/bad cards/cards with $property. In a lot of instances this leads to incredible fixing being...

I can only imagine hero reduces the cost on bestow because herp and derp? I'd run him.

Custom cards aren't my thing, but I still read all the threads because a) we're small enough and b) often interesting ideas come out of them that aren't custom-related.

Well that belies you doing anything else. If you can give the dude flying, or fling him, or there's any tricks against your 4 toughness dudes, you're probably in for a bad time. It's less clear cut than "4 damage or 4/3" when it's 'lava axe with free 3/3 or on-curve 5/5'

Oh sure; I mean it's probably better to go '3 +1/+1 counters on this dude or thing' rather than '5 to the face or thing', as either 5 to the face or thing is worse, but three +1/+1 counters is a threat for the rest of the game.

A stack of +1/+1 counters makes for a better punishment than raw damage to the face, I think. E: By better punishment I mean the choice is less clear cut.

Well you said about giving everyone free FoWs, so that's where the idea started. At that point you probably want to let everyone splash a bit of blue, so you want some support for that in there? Some basic stuff that's in every legacy deck cf: wasteland might be nice, similarly to my artifact...

ice cauldron you're probably fine

Yeah, that's what I was going for with bonus adding a charge counter to a depleted charge counter artifact.

So, here's an idea. The new netrunner draft format gives everyone a core set of cards that you need to functionally build a netrunner deck: 1x Runner/Corp Identity (double sided) 2x Armitage Codebusting 3x Crypsis 5x Priority Requisition 2x PAD Campaign So that's enough VPs for a game to...

How about: {T}, Remove a counter from a permanent you control: Choose one -- Put a charge counter on target permanent. Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. Put a counter on target permanent with a counter on it of a type of a counter on that...

It seems like the aim is to run high powered cards in a fair environment; ie: no massive degenerate combos, just super high value? We don't want massively linear decks (aha, I drafted tinker and tutors for tinker and blightsteel and mana rocks), but want to be able to jam the best modern...

I think there's a reason the style guides and art descriptions are so constraining these days, and it's to avoid things like that. Of course, we also avoid some of the sweeter art magic used to get, but that is apparently acceptable loses compared to "wrong" art. Mediocrity for life, yo?
