tonight we had a discussion about the seattle "banging women" metagame, wherein it was concluded that since the gender ratio is so skewed and that everyone has some amount of money (software is to blame) that the meta call is to just be classically handsome. anyone help me out here?

but everyone is so good-looking

CT: it is not for nothing that the devotion-heavy gray ogre with some LD stapled on is the best LD effect printed since Wasteland

"though I think Avalanche Riders takes the cake on power level." nope! wadds, i agree that the r/r dynamic is the end i have in mind, though "avoiding color screw" is an important part of that.

So Wizards, in all their wisdom and foresight, decided to stop printing efficient land destruction long ago (the last Stone Rain was in Champions, and things really came to a halt after the abusable Boom // Bust and the super-powerful Fulminator Mage). This plan has worked brilliantly, as...

So like 4 Delvers? Since 2 Delvers + 10 cantrips didn't do the trick. The section will look something like: 4 Delver 4 Brainstorm 4 Ponder 1 Preordain 1 Gitaxian Probe 1 Vapor Snag Another problem is that there are a handful of cards that go well with this theme but few suitable candidates...

This weekend I was gonna go to a PTQ in Portland, so I charged my friend $275 to pick him up from Vancouver, which made no sense because Canadians are a bunch of impractical looters n moochers, but then I decided not to go. It worked out for everyone: he got a ride down with another friend, and...

Jason: Tinder?

Wadds: Transgender Courier 1 and a phyrexian colorless Creature -- Brushwagg Weird 2/1 ~ is all colors and all creature types

Sorry, forgot to say earlier: Grand Arb is more of a constructed card, it's not cube-worthy for the same reason Rewind and Mystical Teachings aren't. The best D&T card is Mother of Runes. Then Thalia, probably, and some combination of Spellskite and 8.5 Tails (for Cube). I'd argue Legacy D&T...

Ah, my good man, you misunderstand D&T. In Cube as in Legacy it is a control deck, perfectly happy to putter around while the opponent casts spells that run into a big wall of annoying White people. No need to beat with the Suture Priest! Use that 5 life to chill out some more. The thing about...

ahhhhhh yes color identity. in my happy universe, green mages deserve to be rewarded disproportionately. i must dissent against your judgments of WR and GB though! WR has a bunch of effortless fun in cow, figure, helix, assemble, aurelia, etc. and GB has all the utility removal + fun DRS, I...

one of the things i'm used to seeing when idiots of the genus Magic: The Seattling (you know, the kind of morons that go to EDH league until someone else has a divergent definition of fun, go to Standard FNM regularly, dream of going 4-0 at Standard FNM, and pride themselves on level-0 knowledge...

to me the D&T theme is mainly 8.5 tails suture priest samurai of the pale curtain squadron hawk mother of runes flickerwisp mangara soul warden mentor of the meek i find these decks full of underpowered cards that make the opponent helpless to be both amusing and fun, what aren't you...

bow: "1,2,3,4, united states marine corps" i made this photoshop to annoy my cousin, who is a papist really though im giving this dude a whirl. anyone have any experiences ... with da familiars?

as a self-proclaimed authority on Eventide, the best devotion set ever, i feel compelled to say that Crag Puca and Crackleburr are 1. totally awesome 2. totally unplayable those decks look sweet there is no doubt. jesus though Recurring Nightmare. anyone else tried manamorphose?

warriors' lesson is a horrible card, as is gods willing (scry is worth what 1/4 of a card), ditto tymaret. have you played with commune? you can't take a land, which not only makes the card really weak, it's also a feel-bad experience. dom: try a Death and Taxes theme, super-fun FSR: i'm...

FSR -- remember that "the means to interacting with the card" are a major trait of the card itself, level 1 (how to deal with it) and level 0 (what is it?) collapse into one another. the old bromide (usually used with some irony) "dies to removal" elegantly expresses that idea. i think your...

Seems like new threads spur a great deal of discussion, so, in the interest of bringing the forum alive, I'm going to make 1-2 a night for a week and see what happens. In this thread we will talk about such abstract notions as what each color ought to 'do' in your cube the dangers of having...

well, the high density of fixing in my cube allows for mixing and matching, but that can only go so far. black is a lot more fun with gravecrawlers and so is the cube, but im not sure if a similar approach will actually work for Blue
