    NGL, yes! I was excited about the difference between Obliterating Bolt and Lava coil, I'd be excited about this Sidebar: Pettiest possible complaint: why does the tap ability say "another"? It's a tap ability :P 1G, draw a permanent from the top 5 seems interesting. Excess doesn't go to the...

    Christ I didn't even talk about spoilers This is an annoying little bugger, half Archon of Emeria, half Thalia, Heretic Cathar. Honestly with what I've played of Archon, you don't need to be facing down a storm deck for locking out multispelling to be effective. The symmetrical nature means...

    Yeah one single Fortell or Morph card is especially egregious, even if there was a version of Glorious Protector with reminder text. "Yes, I'm playing this card face down, yes I'm allowed to do this, no you can't see it, no I'm not cheating" etc etc etc A one off powerstone, or food card...

    Huh, this aint bad. Hallowed Burial meets Phyrexian Rebirth (Appropriate I suppose?) Having a giant creature locked behind the 2 mana payment has both upside and downside, in that sometimes you die to a hasted creature, but said creature is also getting at least one swing in if they're on...

    Oh man it's not just a one off quote, it's a proper law with a wikipedia page, not just a TVTropes page :P Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap (context: not just scifi) I would be surprised if somehow -inherrent to the grenre- the percentages of "good" scifi and "good" fantasy were...

    I think Rusje is saying that representation is a common problem for fantasy series, and that that there's fantasy series that do get it right, but don't work as fantasy series (I do think it is a bad argument to draw a connection between those two facts)

    Those are rookie numbers man, you gotta pump those up! I....you want all these cards to just be bad? You just want them to print more cards you can't use? All Sieges work the same like the battles we've seen, but given the siege subtype I can absolutely see this in the next commander product...

    Are people just categorically against any card with something on the back, regardless of implementation? Genuinely curious: Are Kessig Prowler, Barkchannel Pathway, and Cosima, God of the Voyage all equal in your mind?

    Honestly this is a sweet little overrun for smaller board formats. What if we took Venerated Loxodon but instead of making it 6/6-8/8 worth of stats, it could draw you 2 cards? It would be worse. Maybe worse in a way you want?

    Yeah I'm with Train, Ravnic. I think only being able to target your side (and only artifacts/creatures) makes this a cool thing to run in addition to flickerwisp, not just replacing it. So far, the battles seem interesting. I think giving yourself a 5 loyalty walker to beat up before you start...

    Remembering who went first on T10 is not great :( Are you okay with them shuffling If so: {T}: Add {W}. {T}, sac: Add one mana of any color, search for a plains, put it into play tapped.

    Oh trust me, I know, it's just whenever I sit down to do some reading I blink and suddenly it's 3am and I'm 40 chapters deep in some comic book/manga I've never heard of

    Man I missed the boat on Prachet. Not that it's ever too late to experience a work, but all my friends read him voraciously in high school, and I opted for RA Salvatore instead for some reason, and from everything I've seen and heard I can't say enough good things. But I just don't read like I...

    General Secret Lair Spoilers

    IF the answer is "control decks have creatures thesedays, this isn't that bad", I'm okay with it. Hard to remove but doable, and works with basically any removal spell, but still costs you. IF the answer is "This only dies to wrath and your control decks have wraths", that's still a bad answer...
