    Don't forget that anytime they errata a card you can exchange it for its full purchase value in dust.

    I'm gonna piggyback off that in turn to plug a rogue-like that a friend of mine is currently making called Haque. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1507109559/haque/description

    Alright, I'm sold. Cosmic Encounter + TTA comes to $102.48 on CoolStuffInc.com, and it's free shipping on orders > $100. Hurrah! I have bought far too many games in the last few months.

    You sound a lot like the sort of table top gamer I've become. I definitely tend toward the eurogame side of the spectrum. I like Rahdo generally but I'm skeptical of his argument in the 504 video review. He says that his favorite thing about 504 is the number of "light bulb moments" that you...

    Don't a lot of people run Goblin Bombardment?

    Overall I like him, but the writing on his show does feel a little "pushed" sometimes. I thought he was excellent during his stint of hosting the Daily Show, which leads me to blame the writers of Last Week Tonight more than him. I rarely enjoy the song-and-dance type segments at the end of...

    Black needs more 2-drops, so I wanted to design something aggressive that had some small level of strategy to it. A 3/2 for BB that can become a 2/2 flyer is definitely above the mana cost, so I wanted to attach another cost that didn't feel arbitrary. I've also been looking for more self-mill...

    Alright, first update of Luxozoa. Still too lazy to find good flavor text. Tell me what you think. Chris & Jason, how would you grade the following card?

    Re: Luxozoa The first time around I couldn't locate the artist's name, but I dug a bit deeper, and his name is Pedro Cerveira. I'll add the credit when I post the updated version of the card. Agreed about the lack of flavor text. I knew it didn't look great, but I was lazy at the time. I'll...

    My design (Luxozoa) may be too strong. Scry 2 instead of 3 might be more appropriate.

    Personally, I love Dominion, but I played a shitload on isotropic back when it existed, so the game for me has mostly evolved to "assess the best combination at the beginning of the game, then see how it pans out." Depending on certain setups it could change and become more dynamic, but it...

    If you have an Xbox, Playstation, or access to Steam, the Jackbox Party Pack is pretty solid ($12), but one of its games is amazing: Drawful. To give you a quick idea... Each player connects to the game via their smartphone (it's easy to do and works well). The game will send each player a...

    Has anyone played Brass? It's on sale at coolstuffinc right now and I'm considering it. Any other games in particular that people have been really enjoying lately?

    I added Academy Ruins, Faerie Conclave, Shelldock Isle, Phyrexian Tower, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Volrath's Stronghold, Gaea's Cradle, Treetop Village, and Yavimaya Hollow to the main cube, and people are happy with it. Like B8R, I've gone down to only 2 ULD picks, since we found that without...
