    General So... effects? Or how to play more combat tricks

    Dougggg et al -- the design difficulty I'm having is a limited number of Wraths but also an equilibrium number of "Wrath counters" at zero, so I'm not sure how to have a good gameplay dynamic...

    Isn't it just good design? Oracle enables goofy stuff but this guy really keeps the game going, and not in a blatant way. This is what NWO is all about. Well that and Daring Skyjek /polacks /sobotkas

    General Cube as a teaching device

    Between everything being "fair" and every type of card being encompassed Cube is the perfect venue for teaching MTG. As I tutor more and more, I become more firmly convinced that "starting with Legacy" is a far better way to teach friends than "starting with Duels," so to speak, and though the...

    Deranged Outcast is kinda cool, I'm not sure I'd run it but this may just be constructed bias because mana-intensive is the kiss of death there and like here who knows, it could just be really good Maybe it requires higher concentrations of humans than Champ Mayor Xman by dint of being a worse...

    Hahahahah yeah they actually look at it that way and are completely oblivious to this being the cause of MTG being a cult activity, if a huge cult activity

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    Is Mirror Entity a real card? I stopped running it some months ago and don't even think I have a copy any more. Maybe since I like tokens I could give it another whirl. It's even a cat for Brimaz. Meow Updates (concrete) IN Wrath of God Suture Priest Ajani's Pridemate Ajani's Pridemate...

    General Can I Have Your Digits?

    Yeah, the logical conclusion of this is Wizards designing based on market research, which is the kind of stupid thought process that would prevent someone from ever getting hired by Wizards

    I don't know. I never had much success with it, but, then again, I never had much success with drafting that format I was getting excited about the Zombie but then yeah you just want a Hypnotic Specter, which is actually a sweet card that should get run again IMO

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Yeah, no reason to "push" a humans theme. If you want to, you can add in a second Champ or X-Man or cards like Gather the Townsfolk

    General Squadron Build-Arounds

    Nope, you're right, I'm not sure why either, since it's not like I have to lard my Cube with unplayables and limited bombs for the "99 percent," as having someone like that over is (if you can still stand my style) more like getting an audience with Klamm than it is slumming with the innkeepers...

    General The size of one's cube

    Bob -- I used to think the same, but after drafting my 450 with 3 people it's apparent smaller groups have a real and (in my opinion) negative effect upon the drafting and deckbuilding process. Many of the themes just get ignored, missing their other halves (say, if you're drafting 6 people out...

    I like "silo'd" but "you mean like poison" is a flawless rebuttal, obviously
