    Card/Deck Creature lands

    That was a really wonderful description of some of the problems in academia. A term I've heard is the "regressive left" where traditional liberal ideas of critical, free debate, are abandoned for enforced, uniform belief. My general experiences was that people were mixing less, and were self...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    We'll I've certainty been around misandrist feminists, that statement is pretty brutal for trans people. Everyone wants to be accepted, feel accepted, and be understood fairly. You can appreciate that on some level, as I'm guessing you had some experience(s) with misandry that played a role in...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    I would prefer that we not prescribe to me positions and temperament that I don't hold. This is getting kind of weird.

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    Its kind of that attributing to me of a position thats fundamentally opposed to you thats a little troublesome. The boys club language, the subtle suggestion that I am not "pretty progressive"; language that has a tendency to divide people into camps, kind of leaves a bad taste in the mouth...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    It is somewhat troublesome to presume that the term "manlands" is sociality damaging, and that there can't really be tolerated a debate or discussion about that basic premise. Thats a pretty extreme position to take over minor language, especially when it has stylistic meaning. No one wants...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I would run be ok with running burning-tree, card is sweet. Its one of the cards that made me think WOTC had lost their minds when I returned to magic. Another RGD card that I remember living in terror of, but which has really fallen off the radar was: giant solifuge Probably would be an...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    One of the interactions I feature in my cube are the tap-untap interactions, with stuff like galvanic juggernaut, pestermite, quirion ranger etc. I just never really had room for that type of blue removal, though a certain density of it is, I suppose perfectly functional. I do like it...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that this is news too people: it was all over the news in 2015. Its cool dude, I've just been in some of those social justice environments where it starts to turn into open bigotry at a certain point: very us vs. them, and wasn't sure where you were going. As long...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    Its not a huge deal to me if someone uses the term man lands or creature land, as long as people aren't jumping to extreme conclusions based on a word having gender. Manlands just sounds a lot more pithy than creature lands; and it seems rather puritanical to assume it represents something...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    stormbind I got to use this for the first time last night, and was really impressed. It seems to manage something that a lot of other enchantments fail to do, offering an effect powerful enough where you want to answer it, but not so powerful that it must be answered immediately. Tortured...

    General Sunday January 10th Draft Sign-ups (2PM EST)

    I was watching the stream. All in all I thought it was a good experience, though there was a lot to digest. Was there a twitch chat? I guess I needed to be invited in the skype chat. As it grows, it would probably be best to enable twitch chat, so people in the peanut gallery can banter...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Its something of a pet card of mine. Its very skill intensive, as the TOL reorganization effect requires the caster to plan out how they expect the next 5 turns will go, based off of five card "sets" that they see incrementally. In addition, it has all sorts of interesting interactions with...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    I think I'm going to stick to selenia for now. A lot of the gatherer comments are raging about how she is a strong card, but not as good as angel of despair or angel of desolation, which sounds about right where I want to be.

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    So begins, the great orzhov debate of 2016. Criteria for entry: Multi-color cards are supposed to resemble somewhat the experience of opening a rare in a pack, so something to get excited about, a bit pushed, perhaps suggesting certain internal cube synergies. Currently, we have teysa...
