I felt that the books translated pretty well into the HBO series; none of the problems of trying to take 1000+ pages of material and jamming into a 2 1/2 hour movie. Since George R.R. Martin isn't much of a technical writer, nothing meaningful was lost in the medium switch. That being said...

I really like sever the bloodline, and put it in any cube I can get away with running it in. Its always solid, sometimes spectacular, and makes it easier to run token heavy themes. I also like the style of control that it promotes, very grindy, and carefully eeking out card advantage. That...

The power band does seem to be huge; I went in with the intent of forcing good stuff, and here were the results: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/324025[/url]"] Zeroes 1 Everflowing Chalice Ones 1 Path to Exile 1 Swords to Plowshares Twos 1 Fellwar Stone 1 Impulse 1 Kor Skyfisher 1 Temporal...

No, they've just always been funky. You have to click on the bottom of the two; the top one is redundant.

This is an interesting idea. Do you think some of the cards like meadowboon might lead to too much onboard complexity?

They aren't; its largely a question of how you feel about the Iliad and poetry. Its bad flavor text to begin with, and when you consider the source material, its really disappointing.

In law, there are all sorts of different rules of interpretation for things like statutes or contracts. None of it is actually binding (there is no law requiring their application) but it might become customary for a particular judge or jurisdiction to apply them as a heuristic. There are a...

Does anyone have any opinions on the Patrick Chapin ruling from the pro tour? It does look a bit hyper technical in hindsight.

The problem with the "magic legal system" is that it dosen't function like a legal system, because it dosen't matter. No one is going to waste time recording precedent, developing mens rea, or establishing clearly defined burden's of proof. There is no real evidentary standard, or meaninful...

Wow, I wasn't expecting all of these responses! Thats my whole thing though, it does feel very poorly done. Pandering is maybe not the right word (though maybe there is a bit of it, if it fits in with a WOTC marketing strategy). When I type Alesha who smiles at death into google, here is...

Super late to the party, but I just wanted to say that its weird to me how magic is a game whose content runs fleeing from any sort of genuine expression of humanity, but than wants to take these occastional forays at whatever the social issue du jour is; issues that by their nature, require...

His ceiling is much higher than other pingers--complete board control--however, his low point is being a 2cc pinger that only effects the board. If your environment can support that he is a fine addition to a red based aggro-control strategy. I would say he would probably be poisonous in...

I'm not sure if I buy that. Chess could expand its board size as well, which would increase strategic depth to a level approaching or exceeding Go, but those varients have never caught on. Both games have been so polished over the centuries to be what they are, that it seems like it would be...

If they want magic to be the best game of all time they would have to decommercialize it. As is, their is no focus on really perfecting the gaming experience.

The argument was first brought to me in this article, with special emphasis being placed on that first comment. Its interesting, because pauper is actual ground zero for NWO design impact, and the format's big issues have historically been unfun games due to the way old school design condenses...

Bad logic ;) I didn't care for it when they made their own greek gods, and cared for it even less when they started adding their terrible "Iliad" flavor text to the cards. ugh. Not exactly homer.

This game is already embarrassing enough to play as is without adding dinosaurs.

Spider spawning isn't aggro-combo, its combo-control, and a very slow combo-control deck at that. Most combo decks condense the game, whether its storm killing with tendrils, milling someone out with cloud of faeries flicker, or crashing over with a pumped kiln fiend/double striker. The...

Do you have any sample decklists? Would love to see a faerie deck.
