Then maybe you should give me some proof of your minority statement. I've seen several people playing for decades now eagerly buying UB commander decks. I don't know why they do it, I don't even know why they play commander in the first place lol, but I accept it.

You claimed that only a minority would cause these incredible sales. I said that's not true because I heard that prerelease will be heavily attended. You now claim that this is somehow not paper magic. Okay, let's say I accept that, that still doesn't speak against the fact, that a huge majority...

I already have these 17 cards that are goblins or make goblin tokens: That would make for 27 goblins. At 500 cards, you would see 19.4 goblins in an average 8-player draft. That seems like enough, even though I guess Goblin Engineer and Blast from the Past shouldn't really count.

But ... you play paper magic at prereleases? I don't. But I don't play standard, I play formats I enjoy, which is mostly cube and then select retail limited drafts. All I want you to do, is allow yourself to be happy even in the face of developements you don't like. It's all about focus and...

So I had some troubles with red based aggro decks being the stromngest thing you could do in my format. I already did some minor tweaks, but not much really. And now I've had an idea: If I would support a different theme for mono red, I would decrease the incidental overlap with support for...

Can you prove that? Because what I heard is that the FFN prerelease is alteady selling seats like hot cakes.

People buy stuff they like. Considering mtg is a game, those are probably more or less the same. Both things that MaRo revealed multiple times on blogatog, trying to calm people that couldn't accept the change either. Are we talking about ways to stop neo-fascism or is this still about a...

Aaah, Mercadian Masques ... I have mixed feeling on it. It has some really cool cards, but also some weird and weak ones. When I got back into the game in ~2012, I bought a collection on ebay that was 80% MMQ cards :D Only few of the sticked, not counting the reprint of Brainstorm, I have two...

But best selling means something. I'm not huge on capitalism either, but as I said before, there is also the aspects of joy brought to so many players. Sorry, but this is just gatekeeping. What makes you more of a magic player than someone who picks up the game through whatever UB set? Also...

Just let people enjoy their kind of magic, whatever it looks like. Aren't we cubing exactly to not feel pissed when wozards prints sonething that we personally don't like, be it mechanics, aesthetics or whatever? We can simply not put it into our cubes. I won't touch Final Fantasy stuff either...

The word "Eldrazi" even has 7 letters.

Foundations was pretty awesome. If you don't count Goblin Surprise, I am currently only running four cards from that set, but considering that it was 50% reprints and that there are several that could make it into my list in the future, that's a good rate. Cat Collector and Vampire Gourmand are...

Damn, thread convinced me to add Blackmail to my cube. It will then be the 11th onslaught card in my CCC, which indicates how much I likes the set (despite not being huge on tribal themes). Onslaught did not only bring two of my favorite mechanics with morph and cycling, it also created some...

Skeleton archer

But Stuffy Doll can still just block it

Tough to say. Most enchantments in my cube cost less than four mana. I'd say I like them both roughly equally.

After cutting the MDFC lands, I am left with 5 cards from ZNR: some landfall cards, a kicker spell, a token maker and ... a first of its kind. Feed the Swarm If I recall it correctly, this was the first black enchantment removal, that was actually good. And it was long oberdue imo, that a...

Yesterday I had the opportunity to draft my cube with eight people today in another city, not far from here. Had a great time and some very interesting results. What do you think: How many mono black decks can a draft pool with 51 mono black cards produce? We'll see. 1. {B}{G}{U} Selfmill...
