You're probably right on all counts here RM, particularly the pyreheart wolf thing, I kinda forgot about him. I may dabble with slotting a custom into my red section somewhere with has the Blood-Chin effect on an otherwise playable body. The idea of having a few fringe bonuses like this in...

If you're mostly happy running three, but are concerned that three is too many, switching JVP in for one of them is probably good. It lowers your looter count to something closer to 2.5 or 2.25 Please please do try him. Again, I thought I hated this card. The trick is to play him pretty...

I'm on Team Tasigur, but I haven't actually played with him or Angler (despite Tasigur being in my 360 for a minute now...) so it's all theorycraft.

I'm trying to decide how deep I want to go on Blood-Chin Rager or whether I even want to run the card at all. He'd be competing for slots against 2x bloodghast, 2x blood artist, 2x dark confidant, 1x oona's prowler. I'm not sure I'm willing to cut anything other than the prowler (which doesn't...

I feel like I should probably start contributing content. The last seven years of my life have some interesting parallels to the last seven years of Jason's... time to go re-read everything you guys have done so I can copy your styles and keep things cohesive :P

I know I've been repping new jace super hard in every thread ever lately, but it's only because I thought the card was kinda shitty and I was super wrong. I'd advise you though that if you run a riptidelike cube, new jace is almost always a planeswalker and barely ever a looter. In my...

I'd only want to play it because it's smutty. I have a serious distaste for games that require that much sorting and setup. (this is also why, for example, I prefer Ascension to Dominion even though the later expansions for the former are so much shittier than expansions for the latter) I...

You're probably onto something there James. I feel like there's some other nuance to it that's just a little too ephemeral to pin down, but I think the bulk of the similarity is that all of these stories are fundamentally about people's interactions with one another in arbitrary (more or less...

Haven't read the whole thread but just a quick note that Embolden can only target a max of four dudes (which is probably effectively "all"). Prolly too narrow unless you're really pushing heroic imo

I kinda just want more riptide stories in general. That's sort of a weird thing to say since everyone has their own style. There does exist some kinda common thread though in all of the random non-magic stuff I've read here. The hitching stories, the cml novella, the jason okc tales. I can't pin...

You guys are right about Shelldock (after playing a whopping seven games with it ever). I'll be honest, I thought all of you were full of shit until I actually used the card. Land placement arguments are silly.

*stares into the campfire* and THEN what happened? :D

I'd be fascinated to learn about the origin story of booster draft. You definitely helped put a time bracket around it FSR. If somebody doesn't beat me to it I may scour the internet to try to figure out who first came up with "3 packs, LRL" booster draft

More arrows and start with a shield, but yes. (Also the leading player starts with fewer arrows, which is, IMO the biggest disadvantage if more than two people are playing) I wouldn't recommend playing no auto-balance unless you're 1v1ing with another competitive gamer type. It makes skill gaps...

It left me with a really strong impression that I could basically draft whatever I wanted, which I'm not sure is what I want to create. I never felt any real struggle for cards I wanted. This could be because my playgroup is finally learning to listen to signals (decks were: UW, RB, UW, BG...

For competitive play? There's actually a preset for tournament rules, should be somewhere at the top of the settings. The only tweaks that it makes are: Symmetrical treasure, no auto-balance. (items in TowerFall aren't game-breaking as in smash) This is a good read on the more technical moves...

Taking a slightly different tack here than everyone else (although I think a lot of this other feedback is good stuff!) I'd highly recommend the modified 4man draft. I wanna say Wadds came up with it, but honestly I read so much about cube that it's kind of all a blur. The tl;dr is you make 36...

Every time I find myself thinking this I get really afraid that I'm just deluding myself. I really really want this card to be good because it seems cool. Please report back with results!

I implore you to play again and try canceling your dodges (ideally after just 1 frame but let's be realistic...) Check the vid I linked next time you're bored to see what the game looks like once you know how to do the cool stuff.

Wadds are you guys up on the hyperjump tech yet? It's a dramatically different game once you start doing abusive stuff with movement.
