    General The Constructed thread

    i don't disagree, but there's little incentive to play MTG in terms of money or (the real objection to this and all other nerd things) poo-na-nay, both the game itself and the broader experience paint us as pretty irrational woo is pretty good at MTG

    it costs infinity is the problem, if ever there were a home for this kind of powerful yet costly effect it would be cube. someone give it a try?

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    The Book Thread

    just finished The Name of the Rose, it was OK, i guess? i found the first-person narrative convincing and the story compelling, but eco suffers from the same problem as borges where his other characters aren't interesting and don't do interesting things, relegating them to symbol status (though...

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    good question, before there was bestow there was a far better idea that wizards had ... yours: this is the "faith's fetters" cycle. its most obvious descendants are scourgemark, chosen by heliod and friends, though knightly valor and a few others come to mind. in a format where mediocre...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    it's an incredible card (i won't pretend i didn't enjoy watching our seattle control hero succumb to a hardcast emrakul in legacy, the modern ban is probably necessary, etc) and it's worth a go in cube, but remember that cloudpost decks are built entirely around that card, and that part of the...

    travis is a sweet dude who is slowly being driven insane, like everyone else, by trying to use this game as a means to make a living. his decks are often excellent, his play in competitive events is also excellent, and his positivity is, at the moment, lacking in humor and therefore as hollow...

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    not to be too much of a carceral-state white-bread american but for the love of allah RUN PRISON TERM. what a sweet card as for spot removal (aura or otherwise) i am firmly in the Wadds camp of "run a lot of it," the downside is that you don't get to play many Auras or tricks but the upside is...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    colorless lands have a high opportunity cost? especially cipt ones like cloudpost? as for path of bravery i have had the misfortune of playing with it, an extremely conditional three-mana anthem with a marginal lifegain effect barely cuts it in m14 draft. i have many irrational loathings but...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    path of bravery and xposts are both pieces of shit, unfortunately strongly agree with a bunch of wraths being OK so long as aggro can, uh, beat a wrath, which has been the state of affairs for pretty much every format for pretty much perpetuity

    General Stupid Judge Question Thread

    On Mondays I play Legacy with the homies and on occasion like to waste my judge's time for no reason. I noted in another thread that FSR should probably move to Seattle as he is a natural at this: This is possibly the wrong place to ask this question and if I were to delve into the depths of...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    10 life is a lot, but that and path of bravery are pretty weak cards, i have a hard time imagining a cube with low enough power level to run either someone want to make a "pants" thread?
