yoooo who wants to critique my website / nascent tutoring biz http://seattlepiano.blogspot.com/ stuff like the below is very helpful Gave it a quick read-over. It read like either your target demographic is ESL students, or you're a know-it-all. Formatting was very nice on Firefox. 51...

HEIGH IS FOR HOARSES edit: i think you can make a case for Breaking//Entering or Glimpse the Unthinkable. I was actually excited to try Increasing Confusion as it seemed like a nice junction of self-mill and mill-you but then it turned out it was just kinda bad

i like mana leak, blue is a little weak in my cube sometimes so it fits in nicely. 4 rune snags is a cool idea. card only went out of fashion due to blue sucking AND getting snapcaster in modern...

a dedicated theme didn't work due to the poison principle, but versatile stuff like Hedron Crab and low-opportunity-cost cards like Jace Beleren and versatile/low-cost like my fave THE DROWNYARD do not add Jace, Memory Adept to your cubes. not that this wasn't hilarious...

eh who knows. my tastes run towards "legacy-style" games but THS limited is nice too. i blame usman and friends for a) being "casual" players who value creativity, b) fetishizing power maximization to the point where we wonder even here if a "creeping renaissance"-style environment could be...

who else likes doug hofstadter?! GEB is really long-winded (imagine if a Beckett play had more than one joke) but man have i had a blast with him on acid. (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/11/the-man-who-would-teach-machines-to-think/309529/)

we've had a great deal of fun coming up with cards that describe the magic weddings that happen from time to time around here. annul is kind of obvious but bond of agony was great and well there's this hagon-inspired gem while rereading Brideshead Revisited i made a note comparing Bridey to...

contrary to popular belief i have a pretty high threshold for including multicolor cards and Aid isn't even close. it's way worse than mono-colored options like Makeshift Mannequin, even, to say nothing of the budget-friendly suite of Exhume, Reanimate, Animate Dead, Necromancy. quickly, other...

pithing needle on wasteland is a mana-denying-denying plan :( legacy players say "revoker hits LED, needle hits karakas" or whatever

is this not just weak colossal gruul?

Some time ago there was a gentleman on this forum who asked for help on improving his Orzhov section, to which he had recently added Obzedat's Aid. If I was trying to buff Azorius and was including a copy of Windreaper Falcon, wouldn't you guys tell me? Prog Mimic and Edric are both quite...

So I'm tutoring this kid whom I correctly guessed played mtg, and once I knew he was a friend of ours I decided I was gonna give him some bulk rares. 100-handed one has no use to me but for him it'll make his day! (Though to be fair i thought the same of Desecration "Big Double D's" Demon a year...

either expansion symbol seemed appropriate

for a more detailed discussion of this topic (and the unquenchable gamesmanship that the stupid pretense towards "no bribes" in tournament magic inevitably results in) i recommend my friend Dan N.'s article here! though, as he describes me as 'a nice guy,' keep in mind that he is an unreliable...

Big Gruul section! Already rich in 4cmc cards. I cut Rampager because I have the utmost contempt for Cubes heavy in 4-drops, which, afaik, is all of them outside this website. I think three (Wilt-Leaf, Ashenmoor, Creakwood) is enough. The Eventide ones cost up to $14, which is, oddly, more...

"Time Walk With Me: Everything CIPT: The Sequel to the Twin Peaks Sequel" by David Lynch

it's one of those damn cards that's perfect for constructed (way, way more perfect than one would expect, even, given that its printing antedates loam by what, 8 years? and remember exodus's theme was "busted-ass enchantments") but, horror of horrors, is kinda awkward for Cube. now while i...

but did you envision the OKCupes primers too?
