    I love that each match is 20 minutes with a standard deviation of like 2. Nothing like those horrendous hour long dota matches where I'm pumping adrenaline trying not to get picked off the whole time.

    This is my problem with Raise the Alarm: Raise The Alarm < Ashcoat bear That average case is....mediocre. And Frequent

    A 5 mana enchantment that doesn't really affect the board but wins you the game if you untap with it?

    Card/Deck Tokens

    Gavony Township is a decent one Honestly I think if you try and go mono tokens, you end up slow or bad, since raise the alarm is not a great spell, but you don't want to be starting on T3. The easiest overlap is with pod: Cloudgoat Ranger Deranged Hermit Blade Splicer Huntmaster of the...

    Yes, but you were winning that game anyways, you untapped with a 5 drop named Wolfir Silverheart :P It wins harder when you're even and winning, but it's just as useless while you're losing. It's easier to cast, but it's also vulnerable to instant speed removal occasionally (If you're really...

    The Board Game Thread

    I was a little pissed about that actually, since there's a card in the base set which is based off how many "Imperium" cards, of which there are 3 in the 200+ card base set :P Oh there's piles of them in the 3rd expansion. And the card is still decent, since it draws cards, but man did I have...

    OOooooo please post some of the fails! That thread had me in stitches but I don't have the setup to make my own card joke generator

    Overrun is one of those cards honestly. I do like the better mana, but the higher BCS doesn't really add much for me. I worry about the weakness to doom blade, since usually whichever creature is leading the charge doesn't have shroud like SSS does. But then again, I've never been the hugeest...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    I actually recognize a few of those arts, and I've used one or two myself :P 2) They're mostly from DeviantArt, just search whatecver might be related, filter by "Digital Art" so you don't get photos or pencil sketches, and remember to source the artist. 3) I kinda like keeping my own set...

    Race for the Galaxy has been sweet. There's a sweet mechanic where each player decides one phase of the turn to be done in secret, makes for some interesting next leveling

    Now just to calm everyone down,I just want to say something: These were found by someone trying to sell 3 SDCC promos....when SDCC hadn't happened. I'm also a little dubious of this chandra matching the previous chandra, who's copyright credit was '14 on the one side and '15 on the other.

    Sure, this time, but what is the plan in draft? :P

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    Yeah I agree with the bootman. What are people picking over these? You can't have opened all 11 of these, and what the hell are people taking over them?

    Rasmus Riptide Cube (360 Unpowered)

    Different people play limited for different reasons. Some people enjoy making decisions on the fly, adapting their strategy to what is and isn't coming to your seat in the draft, while others enjoy it because unlike constructed, their deck is more of a tatterkite, a strange machine of disparate...

    I'd also like to note that "boring" archetypes like this do help as a good entry point to a cube enviornment. While the wacky vent sentinel deck is fun, it's not always obvious at first blush, especially if it's your first time drafting this thing.

    Please don't run Fungasaur :( that card was supposed to cost G1 in ALPHA, but was printed like so as a mistake

    I think I actually like her better than beleran/prep school jace, though prep school jace can be better if the aggro decks in your format go wide instead of tall

    AEther adept plays better with nonbasics and reanimation? :P Yeah Selkie seems super bad. I appreciate the lifegain that could happen, but I hate that those cards get worse as your mana gets better (Derugar Hedge Mage also suffered from this, despite having a much sweeter upside) and hey...
