    So between Camel Up, Nefertiti, Princes of Florence, and Last Will, which is probably the most friendly to the uninitiated gamer? Also, some of my friends are really into Resistance and Avalon. I saw that they have a third game called Coup. Has anyone tried it?

    We're currently doing a league for Khans. We each opened a sealed pool, then every Wednesday we open another booster and add that to the pool. Simple but fun. As CML has complained, Khans sealed can be sort of maddening. I have all this great fixing for Abzan but really strong Mardu and...

    I've been considering 2x Lotus Cobra for some time now. I love landfall, so I think it sounds interesting.

    Ha, my wife wouldn't touch almost any of these games. I got Ticket to Ride last year hoping to bridge the gap a bit. I've played Race a number of times and enjoyed it. Terra Mystica has been on my radar since it jumped into the top ten on boardgamegeek, but I haven't played it yet. I'm...

    The Board Game Thread

    Camel Up sounds interesting, I'm gonna look I to it. I'm looking for a couple games in that category (fun, simple, broad appeal) as well as maybe one more hardcore one. I remember that you're into the train economics games, which is a bit deeper than what I'm ready for. Agricola is probably...

    The Board Game Thread

    My birthday/Christmas is coming up shortly and relatives have been curious about gift ideas. As with most years, I desire more games. I find that boardgamegeek is a pretty reliable source for new games, but I trust the riptide community more for obvious reasons. Here's what I own that's...

    I've been pushing a tempo/aggro theme in blue, and while I haven't added it yet, Sunder fits that perfectly. I like Armageddon more than most, and at that casting cost it's pretty fair I think.

    Lawkeeper keeps guys down on the offense too. Locks down two blockers on the big swing.

    True, but I think it's pretty reasonable in mid-range. It's also the most likely Genju to synergize well with Titania.

    I am so sick of hearing about GamerGate. I was sick of it from the minute I heard it.

    Well, it is a costly red spell after all.

    Mardu can be strong but a certain threshold of cards has to come together or it will be terrible. Sultai and Abzan control have both been solid. Jeskai and Temur can be good but so far seem to be less often for us.

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing, so my thought was that they're free to take their time with the binder while continuing to take picks from the packs. If someone else plays one in the meantime, they have to wait until the current person is finished.

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    Alright, I think I might try something new. Put 20 or so cards into the cube backwards (magic logo) as proxies to serve as opportunities for utility land picks. After you've drafted one, you may turn it face up at any time during the draft to go take 2 picks. Some people will want to do this...

    FlowerSunRain was looking for potentially interesting 1-drop artifact creatures. He uses squadroning and myr servitor is a good candidate for that.

    Is Skittles a terrible idea? I know it's literally poisonous but that card is fine on its own.

    Same thing is happening to me on my iPad. I suspect for Dom as well.
