hey ITS A JOKE ok??? amusingly i remember a maro column where in one of the great designer searches they attempted to make a 'fixed' design of steamflogger boss, and one of them tried to tap cards in the graveyard or something

with 20 fetches, is cobra good? that's still only 2.5/player

i'm trying to put in more non-creature cards and trying out new graveyard enablers, hence desires. this is tied to the sac and recursion theme, hence shepherd (rotating fatties in and out anyway). mindslicer is also part of this. shard lands i'm switching out to the utility draft to make fixing...

i <3 these. how's the agent?

yep, you add it up. so 8 off a boom/bust, 13 off w/w/w/w/w...

note: i also object to the notion that sex can be anything but hilarious and/or hot, ESPECIALLY in retrospect

jason: remember though that the mtg advertising schtick is 'make a good second impression' now. i.e. i hated dgm at first and then i convinced myself i liked it (when i was right that it sucked all along). think of it like one of the game's methods of picking up a woman -- first, snare her...

i agree. i kind of like how you can't really be 'cut' in my cube. or you can be, but then you don't have to scrap what you have. or you can draft whatever you want and have it be competitive. or you can not use your first picks and have your deck turn out great. or so on. it's the opposite...

i played brood war for several years and though 'progress' was always being made in both technical skill and game knowledge, the matchups were so exquisitely and elegantly balanced that you could just tweak it to where you wanted it to be by making a nice map. of course on lotem -- which...

oh GOD weeds. yeah, in new york external signifiers of success are all the progress one makes. the city is both valuable and cruel for bringing down rich people as well as the poor (or letting them bring down themselves)

zaiem was sanguine enough about the draft format that he bemoaned the ridiculous prices on twitter. on the other hand he thinks there exists such a thing as an 'amazing development team' with max mccall. really?? it's like tryna win an NBA championship with ray allen

yeah, unhappy people get prickly when you suggest that they're not really happy, though. they want direction from authority and it's infuriating that wizards encourages this kind of pretend-happy self-abnegation with the way it treats its player base. your comment on 'strong cards' is...

oh yeah. i'm on the same page as you, i think. re. fame and pressure, a close analogue came up in my TV viewing today (he fouled out with :56 to play). i'm gonna type out some more ideas below since girls is interesting and i've gotta at some point start my own big book about why i hate new york...

it's just the wasted talent that annoys me. i've read enough literature and gone to college with enough english majors to be sick of brilliant people who use their intelligence to fall in love with being unhappy. "only a smart person could be so stupid" in other words

black: flavor remember when they did that well and it wasnt fanservice for 12yos (OMG ANGELS N DEMONS) http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/feature/145

i want some damn fixing at common then it'll be great. idgaf which common lands they print so long as they're bouncelands and there's 10 of 'em

haha, thanks! i'm working on it. i think i've told you guys before that i've written a 2nd and 3rd novel but am still working on my first. cards that caught my attention today: dakmor salvage, heartmender, unfulfilled desires, trade routes i may try triple g'crawler too yeeeeeeah!! the...

Linked a friend to this thread, wrote this: --- hahaha the mirran crusader comment is the best yes it seems like the problem is that people start with decks as their premise and then arrive at cards as their conclusion in both cube and YMTC YES an argument made from conclusion to premise...

this idea didn't suck so much that i think i came to the wrong conclusions about what cards to include. jason was right -- don't go with the glimpse-style cards. confusion and breaking are not good. hedron crab and drownyard are two of my favorite cards. mesmeric orb is too funny, i refuse to...
