    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Mystery Tribe Leader 1GG Creature - Guess! Whenever you tap a creature for mana, add one mana to your mana pool of any type that creature produced 2/2 I interpreted this to mean something like Evermind or Hypergenesis: Blind Leader (no mana cost) Bestow {1}{W} Blind Leader can't attack or block...

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    I do this and it's very popular, but it does add another thing to explain at the start of a draft with new players, along with ULD, mention it's not singleton and whatever else.

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    Oath of the Gatewatch seems like the set they've been building up to since Lorwyn, pretty much. It seems fairly transparently a set up for the Magic movie, and a shift from self-contained block stories to overreaching arcs. I'm interested where this is coming from - planeswalkers as the...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I love Restoration Angel, it's one of my all time favourite cards. It's so flexible, matches to your power level although it has a pretty reasonable floor as 3/4 flash flying, and I even like the art.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Oh yes, I was thinking that those mostly triggered off ETB effects as well but I had forgotten that a lot of them count allies when they trigger.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Well, it kind of is, except the majority of allies trigger on ETB, so making something that's already in play an ally doesn't actually do much. It does work with Cohort, I guess, and a few of the existing allies like Veteran Warleader.

    The TV Thread

    As well as stuff that others have mentioned like Master of None and Sense8, I saw And Then There Were None on BBC over Christmas and that was very good. I hadn't read the book so I can't say how faithfully it sticks to it, but it was somewhere between murder mystery and horror/thriller. Game...

    Pretty much everything Netflix has put out seems to be great. I watched the first episode of Master of None on a whim and ended up watching the whole thing in like two sittings.

    *SPOILERS* Star Wars: The Force Awaken

    I was a bit confused about the fact that whilst the Emperor was killed at the end of Return of the Jedi (spoilers) and the Empire apparently destroyed and replaced by a Republic sympathetic to the rebels, there still seems to be an Empire who rule over....not sure, and the same people resisting...

    You could probably get away with something reasonably beefy with "Landfall - Return this from your graveyard to your hand", possibly with a mana cost as well.

    *SPOILERS* Star Wars: The Force Awaken

    I've just seen it, and really enjoyed it. I did think the first half was a lot stronger than the second, but it was still a good time overall. I watched the others yesterday, and I never noticed before how often characters say "I have a bad feeling about this", and then laughed out loud when...

    Someone linked this in one of the other forums, but it's probably the best advice for starting a new cube:

    I thought velocity was how quickly you could see various cards from your deck. EG RUG Delver with 4x Brainstorm 4x Ponder has high velocity whereas standard Abzan has low velocity. High virtual card advantage through card selection, meaning low impact cards are drawn less often.
