    I think this looks interesting. How would said cube be drafted? If you're doing a traditional 8-person booster draft style, then probably you need to set the number of lands required to a number lower than 8, as forcing people to play almost-monocolor decks will mess up your draft dynamics in...

    I think if you lock everybody out of each other's colors entirely you limit a lot of the possibilities. If you're already breaking things open, I would think one of the main appeals would be to enable the player to include cards of different classes and find interesting combos / synergies...

    Does anyone know if they ever fixed trading on MTGO? Or is it still a huge headache to loan somebody cards and get them back (given the different versions)?

    I wonder if color is even a concept you have to deal with in such a context. The 'mana' in Hearthstone is all colorless, and the main reason why archetypes are tied to colors in retail drafts (aside from flavor, color identity) is that a player can only reasonably wield a 2-2.5 color deck in...

    I've been out of the loop for a while, is it even possible to construct decks in the client with cards from multiple classes? Thinking of drafting, I guess you would then need 2+ accounts with all the cube cards unlocked on it? Err... were you thinking a 'custom card' version? i.e. non-digital?

    I beat A20 with Watcher this morning. It really is easy mode compared to the other classes. I pretty much always ignore her Scry synergies, and tend to build some stance shifting Talk to the Hand + Flurry of Blows deck. I like the design on the whole, but it is tuned quite differently than...

    I guess for someone who's followed competitive Melee for almost 15 years, I thought the intro (maybe half of the video) slogged on a bit. There's only so many times I can see somebody talk about Evo 2013 or the Five Gods or various other history lessons. I get that these things are necessary...

    Climbing Ascensions as Watcher is infinitely easier than with Defect in my opinion.

    If it helps, the Heart follows relatively fixed patterns. On turns 1 / 4 / 7 / 10 it applies various buffs to itself. In between buffs, it will do a large single attack or a multi attack on one turn, and the other attack on the next. So with Runic Dome, theoretically the only turns the Heart's...

    It's not the strongest, but the coolest interaction I ever found in this game: Forethought+ ( 0 energy): Put any number of cards from your hand on the bottom of your deck. They cost 0 until played. Unceasing Top Basically any time you draw Forethought+, you pitch your whole hand. Then you...

    What I love about this game is that it makes you feel as if you're 'discovering' some new synergies every time. I had a run yesterday where (on top of having Membership card and two upgraded wishes and a bottled Apotheosis), I got the following combo: Duality (whenever you play an attack...

    That combo requires two Meditate+ to pull off turn after turn, correct? Watcher is so much fun. A little mathy at times, and probably a touch OP. Runs feel much easier with her than the others, but also somehow more unique. My only complaint is that scrying every turn (with some decks) can be...

    Any of you playing the new Slay the Spire character? It can get up to some busted things... 720 damage for 2 energy.

    Oh man, what a great thread. I missed this one because I was on my honeymoon in Japa(h)n.
