Sigh... Back when she wasn't driven batshit insane by all-consuming anger.

Well, that's my point. I don't know how experienced my opponent is, exactly, but I've seen him at various prereleases for a few years now, and he plays well enough. As for me though, I'm a tcg fan, playing other games like Hearthstone and Eternal, besides Magic. I've been a rules advisor (when...

I always liked... Sunblast Angel Even though I don't cube with it anymore. It was great when someone got in under their Mimic Vat that one time though :) Nowadays I actually run one of the already suggested cards: Sentinel of the Eternal Watch This is a great card for control decks...

Same here, except I run two Bloodsoaked Champions :)

My example happened at the local prerelease. Where both players where paying attention, and both players missed not one, but two! static planeswalkers abilities.

Truth, Ihad this at the prerelease, where we both realized we fucked up the game state because I cast a Band Together eot that I couldn't actually pay for thanks to Dovin, Hand of Control. I then cast it on my turn, only to have my opponent realize, as he was moving his creature to his graveyard...

I just traded for one (in a bulk trade, it's worth a pittance so why not), because it looked interesting. Then I started second-guessing myself, because reusing this to keep denying your opponent an untap, upkeep and draw step seems utterly unfun. And finally you post this. Poor Clocknapper, I...

Yup, still disagree. But I don't think these two camps are going to see eye to eye on this issue. Again, Commander's not badly designed, it caters, on purpose, to multiple play styles. Yes, you could design CommanderA (for competitive people), CommanderB (for people who want to have a fun...

Is it a competitive game though? I mean, sure, I'm trying to win my games, but I'm not ruthlessly playing the most optimal deck to do so. I want to have fun, and I want the other players to have an enjoyable night as well. In fact, winning isn't even required to get a kick out of a night of...

force of will Turns out, if you don't run a combo-centric cube, giving up a blue card and paying five mana are both too steep a cost to counter stuff. Definitely not worth the investment :)

I can't quit now! I've literally spent at least 8 hours this weekend to craft a custom class for one of my players who wanted to play something else than the same old classes in the PHB :')

Sulfuric Vortex and Hellrider are indeed failing from my cube :) I think you have a pretty solid list there. Basically they're colorless Rampant Growths that are easier to abuse, and Rampant Growth is a pretty decent ramp spell anyway. Better actually, because they fix two colors. Since most...

Well, I can agree on that, and I do consider myself lucky for having a play group which roughly operates in the same power band. I think the difference is that I don't count that as a flaw of the format, but more a flaw of how the format is managed.

Off-topic is what we live for here :P That's an opinion that I respectfully disagree with, but I won't force you to play a format you don't enjoy. It's just that I don't really get why people feel the need to badmouth commander, when there's obviously a lot of people (myself included) that do...

The prerelease is draft instead of the regular sealed, so I think it's safe to say that this set was designed very much with draft in mind!

Oh please, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a bad format. I hugely enjoy the Commander games with my playgroup, and really, there's nothing inherently "worst" about 100 card highlander Magic with a general that you build around. In general, I find that players who soured on the...

Here you go, ravnic: Clockspinning Skyship plunderer Doubling Season Maulfist revolutionary Pir, Imaginative Rascal Quarry hauler animation module Edit: Actually, some of those specifically proliferate +1/+1 counters only, which you didn't ask for, so I guess I'll move them to their own bonus...

Ha! Bad advice for my Cube :P I run 3+ mana artifact ramp exclusively, with all of the 3 cmc options tapping for only one mana, and upped the cost of Wrath effects to five mana, so there's a natural progression for control decks. Meanwhile, green accelerates at 2+ mana (yup, that means no mana...

No, that's a fair point :)
