    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    Yeah, my first thought was Pandemonium. Dash works double-time there since your creatures will always be safe in your hand. Is it too poisonous? I've always been a big fan of Quirion Dryad. Edit: sorta obvious but Dash also goes really well with Raid, Battalion, Bloodthirst, etc.

    General MM2 is amazing, says man who hasn't played with it

    It does look like MM1 has better EV at $39.39 per draft set.

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    safra, I just looked at your cube for the first time and I have to say that I really like your list. It's definitely one that I'm going to keep my eye on. You should bump your thread. And Lucre, WHEN are you going to make your cube thread...I've been waiting to see that since the day I joined.

    General MM2 is amazing, says man who hasn't played with it

    It does sort of pay back, though. The current expected value for three packs on MTGstocks is $31.41.

    Attacking capitalism by associating it with the fall of Rome seems like a stretch to me. In the same breath you can attribute Rome's massive and longstanding success to the same economic ideals. On the topic of Rome, it was explained to me that the "fall" of Rome was rather a long, slow...

    General Judging the Judges, Pt. 1

    I would agree that among the judge population there's probably a slightly higher proportion of weirdos than the average Magic-playing population, but most of the judges I've known in my area have been fine and not weird. A friend of mine is an L2 and he always handles things as smoothly and...

    Diakonov's Cube (450)

    So my main goal with welding effects is have a strategy of incremental gains / toolbox rather than cost-cheating. Welder is great for that since you can get it running right away and do something every turn. With Daretti you need four mana and he can only weld every other turn. I've only...

    Diakonov's Cube (450)

    I'm thinking about adding a second Goblin Welder 2-squad instead of Daretti. Daretti just seems kinda worse than welder. The only potential issue is that someone could pick both welder squads and end up with four welders. Should that be a concern? Could be harmless.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Sorry if I was flippant, I was just comparing it to Necromancy in my head.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Seems extremely situational, though, outside of that sort of deck. I wish it could hit both graveyards.

    General Modern Masters 2015

    I see your point, but it's still better that they're exploring new territory than not at all. If Alesha was just another non-transgendered character, most people wouldn't have blinked an eye and we certainly wouldn't be having this discussion. Also, if you complete the google search on "Alesha...

    Edit: whoah there were like 4 posts by the time I posted this As with almost any social movement, there's always a radical contingency that annoys everyone. I think the heart of the LGBT movement is in the right place. Equality issues are so ubiquitous and run so deep that it isn't...
