    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Games with the Med Mage grid have been similar to older constructed matches: lots of early action and then some back-and-forth until a deck wins (or clearly will win). Kirblinx and I had some really exciting games out to turn 10 or so; including one where he was recurring land destruction, and I...

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Thank you everyone for your interest and dialogue! Please accept my apologies; I have not distilled these thoughts beyond huge blocks of loosely related text. And looking over everything, I feel some of my initial confidence in the outline of grid attributes to have vanished. Hopefully, I'll be...

    Sets [KLD] Kaladesh Spoilers Thread

    I hope to see the mechanic in some of the supplemental products, like commander 2016 decks. WotC leaves too many mechanics by the wayside. (Arcane, I'm looking at you!)

    General MTGO You Make The Cube

    Mtgo weekly post on oct 11 said "now that submission review process is wrapping up" ... it seems lie the cubes hadn't been selected yet.

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Thanks, sigh! I am excited to drudge toward finalization. The interaction would be intentional. Side note: One thing i want to write about at some point is the pick dynamics of grid versus conventional draft, and how cards must be selected to influence the pick process. It feels a bit...

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    More M-origins Musings If I were to change Reave Soul to Last Gasp, it seems only ~5 creatures would be positively affected (don't die to Gasp but do to Reave). The change feels healthy, though, to add some interplay to combat and auras. I also feel like Death Grasp should change to a card...

    General Shitpost: Strictly Better in the Same Set

    I prefer the art of Coral Merfolk to Azure Mage, that of Sky Skiff to Smuggler's Copter and am on the fence between Glory Seeker and Knight of Cliffhaven. The art of Yavimaya Wurm is really bad, but I'm sure it doesn't reflect on Steve Belledin's character. That has to be some WotC art...

    I just buy cards for what are essentially expensive scrapbook projects. Cmon, btp hasnt played a game since 2012, and Y'all are still going to GPs.

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Thank you again for the well-thought-out feedback. I have a proposed set of changes based on your feedback, which I will use to conclude this post. RE: card advantage. This may be the first time that I've designed a nonblue Limited environment, and it seems that I feel into the design...

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    I think he was disappointed that he didn't win a game, but during games one and two, he seemed generally enthused. I do not know if he'd want to try it again, but I did suggest that he try it with his own cube (so who knows what'll happen). And thank you so much for the feedback! It summed up...

    Grid Fired!: A Paper M-Origins Story Went for a stroll to the local gaming haunt this weekend to proposition a game of grid... and had success! Grabbed a beer and cut out my mini, laminated tokens in an attempt to generate some curiosity. It failed, but look at these little cuties. I highly...

    General MTGO You Make The Cube

    One plausible theory: Someone from the (format) super leagues played with some wotc employees with their cube and that is the the inspiration for this contest. It was 528 cards with a few conspiracies themselves in it and a card or two not added to Magic Online. After some chitchat, the wotc...

    Not having a singular vision is too similar mtgo's current offerings. Sorry, Jason.

    General Too Many Lands

    For some reason, I always think you're running a lower-powered design because of the 'ktk of alara' moniker. D'oh! :) How would your lands look like w/o customs?

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Random note: I think I want to remove Void Stalker#3 for Frantic Search or Mana Leak#3 in MEDMAGE grid Edit: Might also consider cutting Thick Twice and adding Preordain (in which that Void Stalker may become a Preordain).
