Least likely to ever post on RiptideLab again

Boggles my mind tbh

I think Venny is probably right here. I get away with it because my land situation is so much more powerful than normal, but for other ULDs without my land rules these are probably an issue.

Welcome! In my experience, Kiln Fiend is nowhere close to the power level of the rest of these cards. You're correct in your assessment that token making spells are pretty important. One potentially useful exercise in trying to make this type of deck work is to build an idealized version out...

A thread once famously descended into madness for like 3-4 days over the definition of "tempo" so now you have to put a dollar in the swear jar if you say it. People circumvent this by referring to things like "velocity"

I lol'd then and I lol'd now.

Concur with RM. Mechanics that make you do work (even a small amount) feel a lot better. Blood Ogre & Mardu Hordechief. As an aside, hordechief has the additional benefit of teaching sequencing to newer players (who often overlook/undervalue casting spells second main)

These sorts of MTGO protips are suuuuper helpful for those of us transitioning from paper. I've also been curious what stops people end up settling on when they graduate from "all of them". Are there some you toggle on and off? Would love to hear from a handful of expert level MTGO users. Also...

Read through this and ping me for questions on anything that doesn't make sense: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/how-to-participate-in-a-riptidelab-draft.1065/#post-48569 I'll echo the theft concerns about this (but hey, they're your cards, man). I think we can probably just grassroots it...

I can help you get sorted on the technical aspect of how the drafts are done (we can just do a grid draft or something to practice). As for actually using mtgo... um, well, if you don't mind losing all of your games (like I do) then the learning curve is pretty palatable and it's fun to just...

Here's my shitreview of Axiom Verge. If you want a Metroidlike, you should probably get it. It starts out awesome, great pacing, lots of little moments of delight, cute homages to old platformers, etc. Pacing gets shittier further in (assuming you're the sort of person who cares about that one...

Minus the cheating I actually am a fan of forcing a card/archetype/whatever to teach players that it exists and they should value it. n.b. this doesn't work with blue cards. People will either love them or hate them. I've forced blue (and had it be open) for the last umpteen drafts and only my...

Good article. Since we're talking about funny shapes, I feel okay being a bit pedantic and saying that I think the pyramid diagram is probably something more like a pyramid on top of a cube. Or perhaps a pyramid on top of a short, fat rectangular prism. (because as you state, you do lose...

Just scoop IMO

mind blown. I had no idea it was open source.

Jason raises an interesting point. I'd also say that going this far (imo doing any amount of UED) starts to move pretty far from traditional draft and kinda become its own thing. Not saying that's good or bad, but to me it feels like a leap. Perhaps the best way to do it is to build your main...

Eric's will find filenames ending in .jpg without ending in .full.jpg, which answers Ferret's problem as stated. I think Ferret's problem as intended though is "how do I find all filenames that end in .jpg but not in .full.jpg which is something more like: [a-z0-9' \-]+(?<!\.full)\.jpg...

Thanks Ferret. I was more looking for things that aren't Magic if I'm gonna go to the trouble of visiting another country. My hope would be to maybe jam some cube games with riptide folk, but otherwise I'd rather be... I dunno, hiking or looking at cool shit in the city or something. What does...
