    So.... How long is FT? In the Netherlands FT for most jobs is 32-40 hours a week (excluding overtime), or you work in shifts. Both leave plenty of time and energy to pursue hobbies.

    Yep. Executive summary is spot-on.

    Yeah. That comment made no sense whatsoever if you actually think even a second about what he's saying. "Federer will use mousetrap to play tennis instead of racket from now on. Change > Staleness." "New York closes metro, opens citywide whirlpool network. Change > Staleness." "Onderzeeboot...

    Yes, but most of it is pretty crappy... fortified area wall of mulch chaos charm evil eye of orms-by-gore juggernaut Huh, Krovikan Plague is weird... Krovikan Plague Oracle text: Tap enchanted creature: Krovikan Plague deals 1 damage to target creature or player. Put a -0/-1 counter on...

    Well... 1. There was hardly any incentive to play rebound cards during Emerge Unscathed's time in standard, other than value, whereas now we have both delve and, more importantly, prowess. 2. Emerge Unscathed was outclassed by Brave the Elements, which was far more powerful in the environment...

    Yeah, I have to agree here. I cut both Beast Within and Song of the Dryads, and the effect hasn't really been noticable. Green decks have an easy enough time splashing removal from other colors, and their creatures are very efficient as well. The green decks don't have use for a bad removal...

    I think Conrol Magic is fine in standard, depending on the available answers. Something like Flickerwisp and good etb creatures would go a long way towards making it just good value. Mind Control (i.e. the card that shows that this effect should cost five mana nowadays) is an uncommon that is...

    Ah yeah, turn-based, duh :) Anyway, I like games that I can pick up quickly, and generally dislike how the "it has to be better than the previous best game in this genre" has generally lead to games with more options, which is not the same as better games. I'm also prone to abandoning a game...

    Oh man, I tried to get into that, but it has way too many options for my tastes. Dominion 4 is definitely for the hardcore RTS player. But! I heard that if you are a hardcore RTS player, it's also maybe the best RTS out there.

    Aaaaaah... So, if I'm understanding you correctly, you want your players to intuitively parse this: arcane sanctum as this: dimir guildgate if they're drafting {u}{b}, with the upside that it also splashes for {w}? But the problem is that your players are disregarding the option of using...

    That's a neat trick. I used to bring my discman to a Dutch festival I used to visit. The music boots were often more fun than the festival itself. It's as if you're sifting through a treasure trove of forgotten records, some of which are really excellent :) Nowadays I use Discover on Spotify...

    I always go by the album cover when leafing through bargain bins. Discovered (ha! dis-cover-ed!) some really nice music that way!

    True that. Maybe it's my cube, it's a little less cutthroat then most cubes I'ld wager.

    The upside is higher. If you hit a creature you can unmorph it. Butcher Ghoul is never going to be more than a 2/2. Unless you meant Geralf's Messenger, in which case, no, this isn't very similar ;)

    General Modal "Dual" Lands // Trilands

    In Dutch the word "bivakkeren" (English: "to bivouac", apparently it's also a verb in English, that I didn't know!) is relatively common, as is "bivakmuts" (English: "balaclava" or "ski mask"), so I guess the word is less alien to us. I remember people on mtgs asking how the hack you should...

    General Modal "Dual" Lands // Trilands

    Yeah, this seems prone to memory issues. Modal spells work best if they are immediate, or if the choices are few and far apart (see the Sieges). Why not try something like this. Doesn't that kinda achieve what you want to be doing as well. Note to self: I should totally include these in my...
