    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    How is Elder of Laurels? I remember it being bonkers in ISD draft. Is it still good in Cube, or is it mostly too inefficient when played alongside, say, an Oran-Rief Ooze or even a Tireless Tracker? Obviously the latter is the high-water mark in terms of power in Green MV3 creatures, but I'm...

    I think that the fact that Reggie draws this much debate is what makes it a great Cube card regardless of where precisely it stands in your power band, tbh.* Having a card that requires extra thought is a big plus in my book. *Provided it's inside your power band, ofc. Which it probably is, as...

    Reggie really changes in strength based on the availability of tokens and cheap removal, but it's almost always better Baneslayer than Baneslayer. Even if you're just chumping, he demands a sacrifice every turn or takes a third of your life, as opposed to most similar threats which will take a...

    Dammit, Vel, I'd hoped that this was another shitpost/groaner of a pun. This really stinks. (BTW, is Vel an okay nickname for you?)

    [Eldrazi Domain Seat C] Jason - what kind of monster doesn't like sandwiches?

    No. Edit: they would still be sad, because sandwiches are highly empathetic creatures.

    [Eldrazi Domain Seat C] Jason - what kind of monster doesn't like sandwiches?

    Look, sandwiches and me have a long history of mutual enmity, mostly due to the fact that a) I made my own in high school b) my parents only stocked low-fat/fat-free meat and cheese and the cardboard-tasting Arnold's whole-wheat bread and c) I was only ever allowed to put two paper-thin slices...

    If you're looking for a more positive spin, "Unrestricted" would work well! It even works within Magic's existing internal terminology.

    General Distanced Drafting--Online Cube League

    Hey Ravnic, great to see renewed interest! This kind of died out due to life getting crazy, but I'll be wrapping up grad school admissions around the end of the month so we'll try to get things restarted for June.

    RiptideLab's Most Liked Posts of 2015

    Is it possible to look at this data compared to other metrics of user activity? Also, I'd expect total likes to increase exponentially with activity, not linearly, as more people means not only more likes per post (because more people see any given post) but also more posts.

    You raise a good point that making sex scenes look good on camera isn't their only job; however, by saying they're making it "satisfying to the camera" does, in fact, mean that they're "creat[ing] the most evocative sex scenes possible. Of course they're going to want it to play well, (duh), but...

    Grixis Ninjas? Jeskai Blink? Mardu Aristocrats? These all come to mind, but I don't have anything particular in mind beyond "that sounds plausible." And the first is a bit of a stretch. Really, so long as you don't mind the critter dying, it can be decent, especially if you almost want it in the...

    Horse hockey. That's like saying that the universe of Dora the Explorer is ripe for adult themes because no R-rated Dora the Explorer film has been a flop thus far. We absolutely can and should judge based on our expectations of things--it's a great part of the reason we don't get into traffic...

    My objection is more that LotR isn't great at telling those sorts of stories. As Japahn said so well, sex is not on anyone's mind in LotR. To insert discussion of it would be like having a musical episode of Breaking Bad or suddenly spending an episode of Battlestar Galactica on global...

    Cool new feature I found--you can start writing a post on mobile, and then when you forget about it and go to re-write it on desktop, the draft is there waiting for you! Was this intended? Regardless, it's pretty neat.
