Interesting! I don't really talk in the RiptideLab skype group, but finding a replacement video calling software might be in order now.

If there was ever a card that needed a mana off and -1/-1, that was it

It's essentially flux, which is pretty shit, but then again... Maybe cycling RR? I dunno, this gets way weirder when you have to start planning around legacy dredge. R1 is probably fine in cube

I think bootman is on to something here. Pillar of flame has been solid in my cube, and yamabushi's flame was a crowd favorite in my old old cube. (Carbonize is a little cute) I think the reason for "can't be regenerated" dropping off is for whatever reason, new players just don't understand...

Oh I thought the artifact in question was Chalice of Life, not Elixir of Immortality

Damnit guys why yu do dis

I hadn't actually found spirit keeper to be that good, and was contemplating going back to double blade splicer (the boring, if powerful choice) How has your experience been lucas?

Wildfire makes being a 3/5 great :D I've got it at 5, but it's been nice. Mulldrifter is better though

Eh, probably. CML's here after all :P

Standard sideboard play, and is was pretty aweful sideboard play. For those youngins who don't remember kamigawa standard, this was the combo one with nothing was brought in to counter: Howling Mine Ebony Owl Netsuke Dat Tech

Okay sure, but the whole "having to play it before everything" still sucks :P Despite the increased number of synergistic cards, I still think runechanter's pike is better

I find it's either Moat level boring or kills you. Strong card, swingy, but a bit all or nothing for my tastes

So what you're saying is when hornet queen sits around the house, she really sits around the house?

Skype is malware?

I will say, having to play scroll before all the instants and sorceries, and still having to pay mana later really turned me off it

Perhaps a better comparison is chimney imp instead, though he's hella old at this point :P And to it's credit, Battle of Wits is still hugely popular...in other formats. Mudhole and One with Nothing have no such luxury :P What I'm trying to say here is I think things are on the up and up...

Maybe? Proclamation of Rebirth

This same logic applies to 4 drop curve toppers vs 5 drop curve toppers in aggro: You might not be able to thundermaw hellkite each game, but it's very unlikely you can't hellrider during a game. That being said, I still prefer Ashen Rider. I feel that the increase in gameplay is worth the...

Sure, I like all my cards to be playable too, but that's a deffinition we need to be careful with. I wouldn't call Elite Vanguard unplayable if Mardu Woe-Reaper is available in the same format, for example. I think my problem here was that maro seems to be responding to something different...

That's fair. The reason I have it as a cantrip is because nobody's willing to play a card that doesn't affect the board, but affects their card quality somewhat, same reason people don't usually play careful study just to ditch lands. The reason it doesn't cost cost 2 is because nobody ever...
