Is it a competitive game though? I mean, sure, I'm trying to win my games, but I'm not ruthlessly playing the most optimal deck to do so. I want to have fun, and I want the other players to have an enjoyable night as well. In fact, winning isn't even required to get a kick out of a night of...

force of will Turns out, if you don't run a combo-centric cube, giving up a blue card and paying five mana are both too steep a cost to counter stuff. Definitely not worth the investment :)

I can't quit now! I've literally spent at least 8 hours this weekend to craft a custom class for one of my players who wanted to play something else than the same old classes in the PHB :')

Sulfuric Vortex and Hellrider are indeed failing from my cube :) I think you have a pretty solid list there. Basically they're colorless Rampant Growths that are easier to abuse, and Rampant Growth is a pretty decent ramp spell anyway. Better actually, because they fix two colors. Since most...

Well, I can agree on that, and I do consider myself lucky for having a play group which roughly operates in the same power band. I think the difference is that I don't count that as a flaw of the format, but more a flaw of how the format is managed.

Off-topic is what we live for here :P That's an opinion that I respectfully disagree with, but I won't force you to play a format you don't enjoy. It's just that I don't really get why people feel the need to badmouth commander, when there's obviously a lot of people (myself included) that do...

The prerelease is draft instead of the regular sealed, so I think it's safe to say that this set was designed very much with draft in mind!

Oh please, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a bad format. I hugely enjoy the Commander games with my playgroup, and really, there's nothing inherently "worst" about 100 card highlander Magic with a general that you build around. In general, I find that players who soured on the...

Here you go, ravnic: Clockspinning Skyship plunderer Doubling Season Maulfist revolutionary Pir, Imaginative Rascal Quarry hauler animation module Edit: Actually, some of those specifically proliferate +1/+1 counters only, which you didn't ask for, so I guess I'll move them to their own bonus...

Ha! Bad advice for my Cube :P I run 3+ mana artifact ramp exclusively, with all of the 3 cmc options tapping for only one mana, and upped the cost of Wrath effects to five mana, so there's a natural progression for control decks. Meanwhile, green accelerates at 2+ mana (yup, that means no mana...

No, that's a fair point :)

Well, Murder is pretty hard to come by in mono red... (Yeah, yeah... Murderous Redcap + Dark Temper, I know...)

Also, can we talk about these four cards? Chandra, Fire Artisan Chandra's Pyrohelix Jaya, Venerated Firemage Jaya's Greeting Is there a reason the synergize the wrong way around?

I quite enjoyed the prerelease today, despite all the planeswalkers. I do run a few in my cube as well, but in general, I found that running too many doesn't make for fun gameplay. For me at least, some players did enjoy them to be fair. I've cut more and more planeswalkers from my cube, to the...

It won't hurt the land because it is from the land, technically...

You put all the cards in a single [ ci ] tag, you need to use a separate [ ci ] tag for each individual card I believe. Nope, this is just wrong, it should work fine with one tag as long as the cards are on separate lines, see Edit2 below. Edit: Holy crap... That's weird, I just did that in...

Just yesterday my kids were merrily playing, enjoying the windy weather. You could say it was a fun gust! ... Ok, I'll see myself out.

Yeah, he grows on you, doesn't he?

I've done four sealed pools so far on Arena, went 4-3, 2-3, 7-2, and 7-2! This format has some craaaazy stuff. I scooped to a t3 Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, and had an opponent scoop to mine on t3. That card can get out of hand ridiculously fast. In one game I followed up a t3 Krenko (my...
