    I agree with this. I never played the original KOTOR and I tried playing it a couple years back on several recommendations. The turn based combat system (masquerading as live action) sucks really badly. So even if the story is awesome (which it was), the gameplay I found lacking to the point...

    Jesus. Where the hell was I? I'll have to download it. I've got an emulator for SNES.

    Uh.... I'm a little behind on that... It's just so easy to do in a spreadsheet and then I get to cube tutor and I get lazy.

    What system was it on? Because I've never heard of it and I was playing video games back as far as Atari and Colecovision. That looks like 8bit Nintendo graphics if I had to guess.

    God I love it when threads take weird tuns like this. What game is that CML? I'm pretty sure I'm old enough to have played it though I'm drawing a blank right now.

    Yup. You are totally right. Turns out my last round of tweaks dropped a lot of my non-creature kill stuff, so it makes sense to run both of them. And for the record I probably run just as much BS in my cube (Haakon for instance and I'm tossing in Necropotence against my better judgment -...

    This is primarily why I try to split my green ramp between mana dudes and things like Utopia Sprawl, Search for Tomorrow, Cultivate, et. al, or even dudes like Wood Elves (since them living is not important for the ramp piece - they are just a speed bump or natural order sac fodder). I agree...

    Let me see what I can do. I really like Expunge but I only have so much room for kill spells at 3cc.

    Stab Wound is very flavorful. I like that very much. Would you guys play it over Expunge?

    I'm not disagreeing. It's the right play 95% of the time probably. I'm just arguing that not leveling up just because your opponent might have bolt or something is usually not the right play. Make him use it. If I built a deck that requires treespeaker to live in order for me to have any...

    I generally see that as a worth while trade though (I pay 3 mana and lose a dude, you lose a kill spell). I would pretty much never not level tree speaker if my opponent had mana open unless I have a much better play. If you have the kill spell, good for you. Yes, I lose a little tempo when...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    That's my fear as well. I fully expected more people to say this. Instead, most feel it's almost not cube worthy. I'm pretty surprised. I don't have extensive experience with it, but I have played it and every time it has resolved this card did very broken things. I won't say I've won every...

    I'm so excited we are getting a reprint of the fetchlands (please let there be enemy ones in the next set). I've wanted to double up on them but not at $100 a piece (and I don't like proxies).

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Thanks guys. I've always been a big fan of necro. I'm trying to push devotion (especially in black - as mono black was always one of my favorite decks), so I'm considering adding a few really powerful cards that have heavy mana requirements to "reward" those who commit heavily. Problem is it...

    I'm really excited to get more morphs. I love that mechanic (I may be alone on this one). I do not care for tri-color cards. I don't run any and I probably won't even if we get a bunch of amazing ones. (I may be alone on this one too).

    This is a stupid question I think. But is this card just too broken to run in non-powermax lists? Necropotence

    To me, it's not about elegance or a card having a ton of play to it (though I certainly appreciate those things). I think if something is designed well the game will play better when that card is drawn. Clique does that by having a ton of depth, offering a lot of choices and opportunities to...

    Another vote for Vendilion Clique. Honorable mention... Magma Jet It combines (IMO anyway) properly costed burn with one of the two best mechanics in the game, Scry (Cycle being the other best mechanic in my eyes).
