Some books are slow, that’s true. Still, it is great fantasy. I agree that it would be better with less side characters. It reads much better than the lord of the rings. The wheel of time is sometimes slow, the lord of the rings mostly all the time. If you know a better mage fantasy than the...

Well, that is if you have a 360 cube… if you have a bigger cube than the amount of cards you draft then the distribution is likely to be all over the place.

Yes and no. There not all over the place. They used to be slightly seeded. I have never heard of a booster which was without 1 or 2 colours. Something which is not unthinkable when you randomly grab 15 cards from a cube.

Yes, I could recommend the wheel of time 14logy if one wants to have a good fantasy book/series. It is a lot of pages though.

My point was that most control decks do not have a big problem with ward/hexproof. Ward sacrifice a creature on a control creature is not hexproof against most non-control decks. That said, I am and have been a firm opponent against hexproof and any thing that even comes close to it. Shroud is...

Control decks probably have something like destroy all/each. They are best equipped against ward. The problem is control creatures with ward, they are a beast agains non-control.

You are spot on! But the problem is that it is even better than a random card. You know what the card can do and build around it. For fun and giggles, assume you are allowed to have 2 basic lands as signature. Then aggro will likely not have ANY lands in their deck! (Maybe chrome mox and it’s...

Here we go: * suppose all the value is in one card, let’s call this value X. Let’s assume that there are N packs and for simplicity assume that the probability of opening the card is equal over all packs, so 1/N. * the expected value of each pack is the probability of opening the jackpot times...

Well, suppose. Lot of the value is concentrated into a few cards. As long as those cards, e.g, the one ring, is still in the boosters than the boosters are worth a lot more than when that card is opened. The math is simple, you could search for expected value and could get a good idea of it.

The problem is that the scarcity has been mixed with pay to play. Note that I remember the oddessey block. In that block it was dirt cheap to have a standard tier 1 deck, some would say that was madness. But in reality, it is madness that these days it has become play to pay.

Hmm. I am glad that I am out for a long time. Artificial scarcity has never been anything I like. As is paying for a brand name for bragging rights. The problem is that a game is mixed with fancy smancy fake scarcity value.

I would move prismatic to the top, as is often done with property defining cards and would change the ability parts after if you do to bullets and start with the colour restriction. If you do, then do the following: * if ~ is white then add a 1/1 …. * if ~ is black … With bullets you do not get...

Yay, boring.

It is truly great to play a game where cards do not require an immediate answer! The lack of fixing/card filtering is less great, but one can work around that by using custom rules.

I know what a planeswalker used to be before the nonsense of the mending. After the mending they did there best to make big bad bolas as strong as pre-mending… Seriously, before the mending planeswalkers were very strong, almost godlike, wizards. Afterwards, they were really weak. Comparing the...

Not in my book, but 9 mana is also not a feat in my cube. That could be quite different in quicker cubes.

A haymaker yes. But not win a game. No card deserves that unless that card requires a lot of workaround.

No. You are both seriously underestimating the strength of setting up a perfect attack which is possible when you control the second turn. You get their turn followed by your own. It is simply game over.

Not in this case. Yes they blow all their removal, which they otherwise do on your turn (if they have the mana open). You are forgetting one huge part: you attack for them, tap their creatures or whatever, and then you swing in and win. If you get the first turn this can not happen. Note that...

Second turn makes it even stronger… you control their turn and then your own turn begins…
