Yeah, I'm pretty sure this has dethroned that dwarf legend.

I'm 12 years old and what is this

Any link to youtube or twitch highlights? I hate watching magic coverage, but given the circumstances it seems like a thing.

Making it hit target permanent instead of target creature might be interesting enough to warrant inclusion. I think the mana cost becomes a little too permissive if you make it that powerful though. Having a best-case scenario of killing their planeswalker and ulting your own is kind of extreme...

...which is why I make my cube out of shitty proxies that I slowly make into cool foil ones (and you all should too)

Fun read. I'll quote a gem too so I can be one of the cool kids. ...is it bad that I almost missed that one?

What are people's thoughts on Elixir of Immortality hitting "target player" instead of just yourself? Other than it being an absolute godawful templating nightmare, is there any reason not to do this? My motivation for doing this would be that it turns it from a card which only the slowest...

TowerFall: Ascension ...and you probably won't need to play anything else.

guilty as charged

Hey gents, it has been a while. I was just thinking about this thread again and considering finally implementing the concept. Some context: I'm still working with a lower power level cube. I've got a somewhat "classical" Riptide cube as well, but I like exploring some different design spaces...

Another clarification: when something that you tutor for gets destroyed or exiled, do you just follow the normal rules for destruction/exile? Does the card go back into your overall pool? Does it get really, no-shit, truly removed from game?

I'd been thinking about this for a while myself off and on and couldn't really ever reach a conclusion on it. I'm glad everyone else is a mixed up as I am about it :P I get the position that folks like Goldenpineapple are taking on this in that you don't want to have to hand out a rules sheet...

I'll write more of a proper reply to this at some point, but I just had to drop in and comment on how pleasantly surprised I was when I saw something I'd written quoted in italics on ChannelFireball the other day! Especially since it'd been almost 5 months since I wrote that... it was really...

Tried this tonight with a buddy. Even with my lower power cube, it feels like insanely powerful magic. I can confirm that this format absolutely eliminates the number of non-games that happen. I also agree that the format definitely warps the power of certain cards, but honestly I don't really...

I read that a few weeks back actually when I saw it linked somewhere else on the forum. Somehow it weirdly coincided with my increased interest in watching the game. An good read and actually it has increased my enjoyment of the game because it deepened my appreciation of stuff like the hidden...

I've been spending the hour or two of free time I get each day watching StarCraft 2 tournaments. Current ones, old ones, don't care. Dealing with severe fatigue due to chronic illness at the moment, so I basically go to work (need to keep having insurance), go home, do something fun while I...

I found WOW to be a soulless, boring hamster wheel with terrible gameplay (even given the context of a genre where all games can be labeled that way). At least the older school ones... "felt like a world"? /shrug Also, I have 0% interest in trying LoL, or DOTA.

I think the line between subtle literary genius and self-indulgence is something people argue a lot. My philosophy on stuff like that is to do what the fuck you want. I didn't actually pick up on this during my read-through, but that doesn't necessarily mean it didn't do something cool to my...

This is really OT and lowbrow given the current conversation, but I laughed my ass off at this line: "You do you man... and I'll do Jennifer" Still thinking about it days after and I still chuckle a little bit.

Agree with parts of this, but disagree that overwork isn't a theme. Many of the arguments between characters in the novella are about CML's complete lack of motivation to do anything that isn't poker (or whatever else he feels like doing at the moment). He argues that he's enlightened, they...
