This has been the problem for me as well. If I'm running graveyard synergies, I don't want to exile cards from there! Still, Inscho, how good is Mesmeric Orb? Because it seems good to enable self-mill outside of its colours but it seems busted strong in black! Mesmeric Orb

This is true. The thing is that, design-wise, archetypes are pretty new to Magic. For the first 20 or so expansions, cards were made mostly on an individual level, without too much attention being paid to how they worked with other cards in the set. Sets had 2 or 3 mechanics and you just made...

To change topics a bit. I've been struggling with this card: Skaab Ruinator I'm not sure I'm building around it correctly. Most of the time it seems a luxury compared to just running Serendib Efreet. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get the best out of it?

That's from the fan-made Print and Play version, not the new edition. Either way, the mention is not because people make inappropiate questions but because the game is unnecessarily wordy. For example, there are no "instants" in the game so all the talk about "pausing the game" is pointless...

Because there's a cost attached and it shifts responsability from the person being inappropiate, to the game designer.

But if they are a regular guy or girl asking silly questions, why not just talk to them? I think it's better to just talk to people if something's wrong. For the record, I've never seen someone use Truthtrance in Dune or Seeker in Cosmic to ask out of the game questions, much less inappropiate...

I like Wildfire, but I already run it and Devastating Dreams. And Cataclysm, too. Which is why I'm not so sure about Death Cloud.

The targets just weren't as great. I mean, the best thing to curve into from Llanowar Elves was Troll Ascetic. Which is a good card! But it won't kill you in a long time, even if you slap Loxodon Warhammer on it. And the best target for Goryo was probably Akroma, Angel of Wrath. It could kill...

The kind of person who would insist on making invasive questions regarding someone sexuality is not going to be deterred by a technical change of the rules of a card. I think attempts to address bad player behaviour through game design are misguided. You cannot use a game to prevent people...

I do remember Doran Rock. Which is crazy, because you had so many "Rock" variants at that time. You had Loam Rock, Gifts Rock, Aggro Rock, Doran Rock, White Rock...The variety back then was just absurd. I did not realize at the time, but I think I played the game when it was close to its best. A...

I should be able to shoot you with a gun, because you were the bad guy in Counter-Strike. Just don't play with those people, c'mon ;)

Yeah, stuff like that. The most obvious way is to use the effect twice and force an answer by asking "Will the answer to your next question be yes?". Which everyone can agree is trying to game it. In fact, it's how a similar card ended up being banned and in Vampire: The Eternal Struggle. Note...

I don't have experience with it, per se. However, as a fan of both Cosmic Encounter and Dune, which is where the effect comes from, I can tell you a bit about it. This is a fun, surprisingly powerful ability that makes for amazing games, cool plays and laughter. It also takes significant skill...

When I first started cubing, I aimed for an Extended-like environment, but I found a lot of issues that aren't evident at first glance: - The card pool is small: We already struggle to find playable black 2-drops, that problem worsens significantly with - Enemy colour pairs weren't supported...

More little changes. For example: Shardless Agent -> Hydroid Krasis Boros Reckoner -> Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger I used to have Alesha, who Smiles at Death in Rakdos, I moved her to Boros. Boros Reckoner always seemed meh. Pelakka Wurm -> Hornet Queen Here's a controversial one...

Sadly I don't. I haven't found a good replacement yet. I'm trying Mikaeus, Angel of Invention and so on but who knows. I might come back to it.

I agree with the other posters in that tokens is best, not so much as an archetype but as a somewhat common tool. For example: Gather the Townsfolk This is a spell for Saheeli, humans for Champion of the Parish and fodder for Aristocrats. If you run Raise the Alarm, the tribal synergy is...

No, no, the order is wrong! First you play Hostage Taker, then Batallion. Then you use Fiend Hunter to flicker Batallion over and over and take all their stuff. For value. EDIT: Wait, this doesn't work. SLAM CONCEDE BUTTON

Hehe, I already run Smallpox! Hence the question between Pox and Bigger pox. No wait, what was that playtest card called? Bigpox? haha

Pox Death Cloud These two cards are not as similar as they seem! What do you think?
