    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    That custom name is great :D Also, it does look like Gids is tryin' to put the Blackblade to use. Don't know how he'll get close enough to use it by just running at Bolas like it seems he was, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I think you've sold yourself tbh. Seems like Rally does good things for your list.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    it is better overall in RW, or with a R splash, but this card is a house: rally the peasants

    General Cube archetypes help

    I've found your suggestion of the Gitrog Monster to be an excellent example of what you are talking about. I've also enjoyed Borborygmos Enraged, Gisa and Geralf, and a variety of others in different sections. I'd be a bit cautious, though, because no one card is quite as low an opportunity...

    Card/Deck Control Mirror Matches

    everything japahn is saying, especially the card draw imo. I think this is the primary focal point of "control mirrors". When both decks can just... keep running at full power right up to decking, they will just butt heads. Thinking about things like: careful consideration ancient excavation...

    90% chance those cards aren't uploading because it's the wrong ' symbol

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Make sure you have some good counterpoints to the strategy, just like if you are including any other strategy. Give other decks tools to handle tokens and it shouldn't be problematic Things like Pyroclasm etc. Trample Flying Regular ol' wraths A tweak of the "average" P/T ratio of other...

    General Advice on Smoothing

    I absolutely disagree on "I don't think the chance to actually have that card in hand should play into his calculations." If it's not in your hand, you don't have to cast it. That's intrinsic to how a deck runs, and therefore intrinsic to the actual reliability of the manabase. He's...

    General Advice on Smoothing

    I don't have the time to find it, so you'll have to imagine a link to a counter article that says it's really not as intense as Karsten states, because he misses the variable that you have to have the card in your hand in order to need to cast it. So Karsten basically assumes you always have the...

    That one that made three spirits with convoke was pretty bonkers. One of the core sets?

    His talk goes hard from sentence one tbh: "This is my first time in Davos, and I find it a auite bewildering experience, to be honest; 1500 private jets have flown in here to you know, speak about how we are wrecking the planet" And maximum credit to Winnie Byanyima, stepping in and noting...

    Rutger Bregman is a good egg. Takes some Hutzpah to call out an entire room of rich folk in Davos right to their faces.

    If you take the social factor completely out of the act of playing games and say they are only played to win, you are sorely missing the point. Same goes for almost any interaction involving two or more people. A classic example with a game is letting a child win even though you might have a...

    General CBS

    Reflecting a little, I have to say that my best experiences have been with good simple kitchen-table magic. I play with a couple coworkers on occasion and we're slinging some of the jankiest shit, but it's no-expectation and entirely social. Usually over lunch. We're talking like OG Force of...

    One problem is EDH is only quasi-sanctioned, so rules and bans and stuff are by a third-party committee

    General CBS

    yeah, that's what I was getting from it. It's also truly a lot more work to curate a non-power-max environment. That's why over of MTGS they often call each other "managers", but I think of us here more as "designers". There are definitely downsides to this RTL approach
