hey doodz i played a power cube last night and inspired by its wanton degeneracy i have compiled a list of 'banned legacy cards that might be fun in a riptide style cube' (in addition to such classics as tutors and multiple-use tutors that get value out of vengevine) mainly i'm curious about...

Dom: re. powered Cubes you had not only the exact same thought as me ca 23 PST last night but expressed it in exactly the same language. I dunno how you feel about this, but there it is. The subtext to my post above is that I'm not sure how one would go about solving the 'haymaker' problem. One...

oops maybe i should stop drinking at Monday Legacy hahahhahahh

today i played a power cube for the first time. power cubes lack things that i value in games of magic, such as interaction. i imagine there is no way to really fix this.

check out the new todd anderson 'necrotic ooze in modern' deck (first one) http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/5969643

by far our most stereotypical playgroup member went to CMU and is a CS savant. name of "adam ruprecht" if you're an old mellonian too mr wadds

both are direly necessary, i hate playing without either. i'm not sure if one is more important than the other, but in any event, brainstorm is certainly not the most-misplayed card in legacy. Wasteland is.

barrin -- prettay, prettay, prettay good? i'll throw it in mine and see what happens

"Punishing Fire was't oppressive before and certainly wouldn't be now." http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/worlds11/topmod i dunno i kinda like playing with small dudes. beyond that i agree with most of what you said and espouse wholesale todd...

EVERYONE in seattle who plays works in CS. the good players work at google, the mediocre at amazon, and the terrible at microsoft today i visited the suburbs' finest restaurant, the google cafeteria. it was wonderfully stereotypical. i wonder what it would be like to program

i don't disagree that we don't need to not do that

ETA on theros?

TALMUDIC COMMENTARY dilettante of dilettantes -- a double negative per ecclesiastes. you're half-assing being half-assed. one time i wrote a novel and then did nothing with it. this has actually happened twice. doing something with it is so much more daunting than just writing it. brave...

agreed, though i see at least some of this on twitter. it's a nice intermediate step between power-level assessments and talking about the culture of the game ... the opposite of this is, of course, 'casual' EDH players talking about power level

yeah, that card seems like a major beating. fwiw i made a number of cuts after the first whirl last night. Hammer of Purphoros will not be one of them. djkf

sure, like everyone else. they're people, after all, even if they're not aware of it

i can't claim to be as good as kibler but i kinda like thoughtseize in modern. the life loss matters, and i think that's a good way to go about balancing a card that might be necessary. in legacy it's very much the nuts

i swear that line is a joke about libertarians suppressing information

nah glorious anthem is a piece of shit. spear of heliod though...

Kibler and a bunch of other dudes ('pros' in the parlance) were Tweeting their hatred of Thoughtseize the other day, and as Black is by far my least favorite color and I like Thoughtseize I was rather surprised (in b4 racist ban). 'Take anything' in Kibler's interpretation made things less...
