    you didn't give him his due! yeah he's slow but more fun to draft around than Resto Angel, with higher upside, and (best of all) he's a far lower pick than resto. "if you untap with it" isn't THAT high of a hurdle for a 4-drop

    Players can complain about everything, but it's a little disconcerting when they make judgments that are ill-informed, maybe fundamentally wrong, and are not interested in the idea they could be wrong, much less figuring out why. The conversation with the local singleton grim mongo grognard...

    in my case a gift of high-quality dual-land proxies instantly eliminated whatever queasiness i felt about this, and i saw then my aversion was absurd the point of this forum afaik is "just try it" which is all i'm saying. play cards ffs

    An old parlor game among friends of mine has been to rank sports and games by the amount of variance. For example, soccer > football ≈ baseball > basketball, the simple heuristic is "how continuous is the scoring"? Magic has much less variance than poker and it is much less likely a terrible...

    Card/Deck Brainstorm as a lynchpin

    without a ton of fetches its power level is pretty spot-on, i think. the only complaint is that without a fetch it is weak and every decision amounts to the same thing. i like ponder too.

    I don't mean to specifically stick up for Goyf so much as not limiting yourself by card availability. On the other hand, how many ahada posts make more sense if they are oblique defenses of "only cards I own" I kind of like Goyf and think there's a decent amount of play and draft-around to it...
