    Well...at least I can enjoy the fact that my state legalized marijuana for recreational use. Also, Maine voted to use instant-runoff voting in future elections. Small victories!

    I really, really love Venetian Snares. This is probably my favorite song off the last album.

    White is by far the most boring color in magic. It would be nice if they could somehow provide a consistent card-advantage engine to the color besides tokens. Blue and green have regular draw and mill, black has graveyard recursion and life-loss draw, and red now has pseudo draw. For the...

    Me too! I love the feel of mahjong tiles so I couldn't resist.

    I think the blocking-punisher effect is much worse than Falter. With Falter you can ignore combat math and alpha strike, but here they can maximize their blocking choices to kill your creatures and take into account the card advantage, and at a potentially severe loss of tempo for you. Also, if...

    Yeah, I definitely misread it at first. The card has to resolve before blockers are declared since the declaration of blockers causes the triggers. Making it...weird. You will never get to draw extra cards. If you want them to block, they won't, and if you don't want them to block, you...

    Ash Barrens and Evolving Wilds work at the same speed/tempo cost in terms of mana fixing, but if you topdeck Barrens or need every last bit of mana and don't need to fix, it is another land that comes into play untapped. This is a major advantage over Wilds, IMO. I'll still probably keep two...

    Except for landfall, this is straight-up better than Evolving Wilds, right? I like it. Can we call this Buttlink?

    There's quite a bit of Fight Club imagery in there.

    I assume he wants to maximize the crushing weight of shame before he lets it drop.

    Ha, that's awesome, I saw the two of them perform at a local bar a few months ago. It was a real trip.

    General Peep and cop my book about Magic (excerpt)

    I finished reading it a couple weeks ago. As someone who has played for 20 years and can remember the atmosphere of the game back then, it was quite fascinating to consider how the culture has slowly changed over the years. Really great job, CML. Also, I noticed in your Special Thanks section...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I run this and Ichor Wellspring. Both are great with welder, trading post, general artifact count, etc. I've thought about ravager before, but you really need a ton of artifacts to make it worth it. Very fun card though, so maybe someday.
