    General Fixing Mulligans, Improving Games

    I figured it was a typo, thanks for clarifying. I feel like the CML mulligan scry is a strictly better rule where gameplay is concerned. The flip side of that coin is that I think the WOTC variant is easier to teach. I may try just running the CML rule with my more skilled players and watch...

    Grillo can you define "scry full"? Everything else you said made sense

    General Fixing Mulligans, Improving Games

    I attribute this difference of opinion to which axis each of you believes is the easier one to tweak to achieve the desired result. (I would guess) most of us would prefer to be able to cast spells with higher cmc and don't mind doing weird shit to mulligan rules. Nothing against the idea of...

    Uh oh. I cheated! (it definitely felt wrong putting out that many zombies... now I know why!) As for Glimpse, it's actually new at getting a shot in the cube, so I'll keep you posted on it James. The only ways I can think of to actually mill someone out with it would be Snapcaster or...

    Very relevant to my interests since I just cast a glimpse the unthinkable with Sidisi, Brood Tyrant in play and it felt amazing. I currently don't run any of the green "grab a card and bin a bunch of cards" variants and probably should. There are a million different value engines in my cube that...

    Bloodrove reminder text wants to make real sure you know what you're paying X for. Also, just pledged to the CT patreon, will post results when Ben hooks up my access. Pretty stoked though as it gives me a way to show off alt art renders :)

    It's definitely good. I kinda wish it were less good and costed at 1W instead. I'm starting to really, really dislike CC two drops. (full disclosure: I just got rocked on a mull to six where my only black source got wastelanded, so I might just be tilted. I won the match, but it was a shitty...

    Card/Deck Other applications for Lore Seeker

    Seems fine, I'm not into the idea at all personally, but if your playgroup will enjoy having that splashy effect and the feeling of being the one lucky enough to crack the lore seeker, then that's cool I guess :) There's no denying that it's exciting, I just have the typical riptide view of...

    If it's mostly multiplayer, then yeah, I think it's probably not fixable. If the situation were something like guys just not drafting aggro because it "isn't good" or "is boring" then I'd say just push the hell out of it or use one of the handful of interesting Riptide takes on the archetype...

    I was kinda thinking the same thing re: us having a wotc lurker. If so, hell, let 'em lurk. This is super good for the game

    pretty sure this should've been the end of that particular conversation (unless we're talking about limited or constructed? Does anyone here actually play "real" magic anymore besides CML?) Agreed, dull as all hell. I honestly don't even care if it's good, it doesn't do anything mechanically...

    The Board Game Thread

    Interesting! Oddly enough, I think even that small difference is enough to meaningfully change the game play. Without playing both a bunch of times I'm not even sure I could say which I prefer. I've played San Juan only twice, but both times I found it to be very skill testing. Oh, and I...

    Well shit, this thread took a weird turn between yesterday and today.

    Glad you said this Eric because I was starting to think I was crazy. I haven't played RftG but I was unable to discern any difference between it and San Juan from the description. It's a bit ambiguous from Chris' description, but perhaps the difference is that more than one player can choose a...

    Can FSR (or any of you guys) elaborate on this a bit? I've pretty much concluded that MOBAs aren't for me, but this kinda piqued my interest.

    Pretty sure it's simply "A guy whose chief ability is turning into a planeswalker". OTOH, I'm pretty sure most of the things CML says aren't intended to be things most people will get.

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    2) Hmm... I've had kind of a hard time finding quality stuff on DeviantArt. Could be because I've mostly been browsing it on my phone. From the sound of your reply, there may be some search features that I'm not getting access to. Are you finding yourself trawling through tons of so-so art to...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    A few random thoughts: 1. Most of these cards are pretty cool, though I agree with anotak on pretty much all points. 2. Where are you sourcing your card art boot man? 3. How do you guys feel about finding/making a set symbol for Riptidelab stuff? Might be kind of fun to have a shared little...
