    General Renaming 'Breaking Singleton'

    If you're looking for a more positive spin, "Unrestricted" would work well! It even works within Magic's existing internal terminology.

    General Distanced Drafting--Online Cube League

    Hey Ravnic, great to see renewed interest! This kind of died out due to life getting crazy, but I'll be wrapping up grad school admissions around the end of the month so we'll try to get things restarted for June.

    RiptideLab's Most Liked Posts of 2015

    Is it possible to look at this data compared to other metrics of user activity? Also, I'd expect total likes to increase exponentially with activity, not linearly, as more people means not only more likes per post (because more people see any given post) but also more posts.

    So... it's a hyperlink for phones?

    You raise a good point that making sex scenes look good on camera isn't their only job; however, by saying they're making it "satisfying to the camera" does, in fact, mean that they're "creat[ing] the most evocative sex scenes possible. Of course they're going to want it to play well, (duh), but...

    Grixis Ninjas? Jeskai Blink? Mardu Aristocrats? These all come to mind, but I don't have anything particular in mind beyond "that sounds plausible." And the first is a bit of a stretch. Really, so long as you don't mind the critter dying, it can be decent, especially if you almost want it in the...

    Horse hockey. That's like saying that the universe of Dora the Explorer is ripe for adult themes because no R-rated Dora the Explorer film has been a flop thus far. We absolutely can and should judge based on our expectations of things--it's a great part of the reason we don't get into traffic...

    My objection is more that LotR isn't great at telling those sorts of stories. As Japahn said so well, sex is not on anyone's mind in LotR. To insert discussion of it would be like having a musical episode of Breaking Bad or suddenly spending an episode of Battlestar Galactica on global...

    Cool new feature I found--you can start writing a post on mobile, and then when you forget about it and go to re-write it on desktop, the draft is there waiting for you! Was this intended? Regardless, it's pretty neat.

    Jason, why did you make me read this with my very own eyes.

    I am....not. Part of the casting call included being being comfortable with nudity, and I don't want my Song of Ice and Fire anywhere near my Lord of the Rings.

    Froggy, I think we're on the same page here in that it's a lot nicer if these off-the-wall things are appropriately supported (which is what I think Inscho is getting at). That's one of the reasons why I've advocated for paying attention to Funch's (and your!) philosophies--you're really good at...

    Sorry if I'm unclear; I'm saying that you actually have a much higher emphasis on interchangeability than the average cube seen here. This means that people will fight over numbers and quality of effects rather than the effects themselves. Either there is plenty of that effect to go around...

    Throwing my hat into the ring of the debate we've been having the last few days here, I think the main difference between Funchian design and Riptidean design is that Riptide wants to make better Limited environments whereas Funch's main thing is drafting decks that are as close to Constructed...

    General CBS

    Something that also has to be considered is making sure that counterplay is simple. As you said, Brad, newer players aren't going to know what makes the opponent's deck tick, so maybe looking at your interaction to make sure it's obvious what you should be pointing at what would yield dividends...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I ran it for a while, but switched to Sram's Expertise as an alternative because the flying was a little too hard for other decks to handle. I'm not sure if I prefer the expertise, as it's a lot swingier (expertise -> O-ring is REALLY hard to beat without a wrath), but they occupy similar spots...
