    I agree, that most people who voted for Trump kept their mouths shut, but I think that comments like this one had a lot to do with it. The media absolutely vilified anyone who supported Trump, slapping tags like 'racist' onto them, and opened them up to a lot of abuse if they spoke out. Trump...

    In lighter news, I was REALLY hoping that the playset of food chains that I ordered would arrive in time for tonight's weekly legacy :[ Welp, R/W Goblins it is. Also, I aquired a foil oblivion ring and seeker of the way for my cube. Yay.

    Haha, the next few years are going to be preeeetty interesting, that's for sure. Between you and me, I don't think he expected to get this far. I think he expected this proposition to fail, just like most of his others. I could see his OG plan being: Run for President, make a big fuss, lose in...

    I've seen that graphic pop up a lot. I'd love to see a thorough explanation of their procedure for it, especially what with all the misinformation surrounding this election. At the very least, the number respondents is more than enough for a good representative sample of the pop.

    Unfortunately, in this day and age of hyper-sensitivity and virtual echo-chambers... it really can be. ...well that's not really fair. Politics has always been a heated topic, right up there with Religion. But this election was particularly vicious, I think. Ridicule itself isn't a problem...

    Politics is a dangerous topic, but I would like to say one thing. It is incredibly important, at times like these, to not write off the people who voted for Trump as racist/bigoted/misogynistic/etc. To not sneer when people people suggest that there were legitimate reasons for voting for Trump...

    Ah, but the Shaman pumps himself, too, and gets haste in the lategame. That's a gigantic upgrade.

    General The Draft Exchange

    Drafted this neat Rakdos Sneak attack control deck out of Safra's Cube. It pretty much speaks for itself. The Anger of the Gods and Liliana OTV feel a bit loose to me, due to the lack of fixing (would have liked 2 more fixing lands at least to have reasonable BB or RR on T3), but otherwise looks...

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    There's not a lot of options for those criteria, unfortunately. You've basically got: woodfall primus terastadon destructor dragon sylvan primordial and Woodland bellower if you count searching for reclamation sage as a thing. Of those, D. Dragon is probably the least heinous...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    I know, I know :P As it so happens, I'm waiting on Kaladesh to wrap up in order to hammer out a presentable form of a more Riptide-Friendly cube. I've been wanting to experiment with a more draft-like environment for a little while now, and have been working on one with a carefully throttled...

    Part of why Ravager is so good is how little opportunity cost it has. At worst it's a colorless 1/1 for 2 that can sacrifice itself to pump another creature at instant speed...

    Huh. TIL that there's a constructed thread. If you guys are interested in what I'm packing, I mostly play Legacy. I just 4-0ed two weeks ago with my personal R/W Goblins brew... it's not the first time I've gone undefeated with it, and it has actually done better for me than my mostly stock BUG...

    He's been strong for me. Any walker that puts out tokens and is 3cmc or under can potentially be very good. The fact that his best ability requires a high density of artifacts (limiting it's potentially brutally spammy nature) but at the same time synergizes with himself makes evaluating him a...

    I still quite like him. I just wish he had something like Fear or X-walk or some evasive ability instead of deathtouch.

    Yeah, on a closer inspection this magus is pretty neat. Much better than the flyer. It's worth noting that I've tried Magus of the Wheel in my cube a bunch of times, and he's always been a bit lackluster. That being said, this Yawgwill effect is, as you said, fit for a much slower deck; one...
