Stern Scolding Reprieve Wizard's Rockets Orcish Bowmasters Boromir, Warden of the Tower Grey Host Reinforcements

i played UWx legacy stoneblade for years and feel like I can say a few authoritative things about stoneforge/batterskull together. even by the mid 2010's in legacy 'cheating out a batterskull' was not very good; you tutored for batterskull in matchups where the ability to 'gate' the equipment...

and just what exactly is wrong with casting Lingering Souls in a game of magic? what a joy!

I'm closing this thread, as it's almost ten years old and I've grown significantly as a designer. My new thread is here. (mods plz lock thread)

View the Cube list Playtest (draft) against bots I began this project on a mechanical level, with the intent to bridge the gap between "blue's historical dominance over the game engine" and the 'legacy-lite' gameplay I want. Blue's broken old spells have been able to 'pitch to force' broken new...

invasion of gobakhan is violently powerful and "goes in" every deck with creatures and a plains in it

nope.

Poxwalker !!! love this duder also you have to be exactly my Cube but big ups to a 3/3 flying zero mana recursive threat (so handsome in foil!)

Thragtusk first and foremost, but rhino with haste also very good card more gooder card than other three cards

Strong starting place here for some good theory. I like the essay! (I particularly enjoyed the distinction between the two builds of UR Ensoul - maybe there's actually more to discuss here?) You write that you've long wanted "to support some sort of Blue/Red artifact deck", and that you "still...

this post brought to you by: everyone who's had to buy 1x full-art Jegantha in the past few years. it's so true.

i don't even remember the last time I had nine mana.

The problem with Kappa Cannoneer's Ward 4 isn't just that Ward 4 is obscenely big ward number but ALSO that the Blastoise is a big/big, so if Hero needs two spells to remove it (red burn, -x/-x effects) then the ward effectively just becomes hexproof. Not a fan of the design; a cheap big/big...

read Plato so you can read Aristotle so you can read Kant so you can read Hegel so you can read Marx so you can read Sirlin

oh, is it real 'talking game theory' hours? fuck yeah... Iterated prisoner's dilemma is fun but central IMO to any broader discussion of "prisoner's dilemma" is its most compelling real-world example: nuclear war. 'co-operate' and 'defect' are broadly analogous to 'don't use nuclear weapons'...

My favourite demonic tutor variant is actually one they printed in a recent 'Alchemy' online-only release, but it's a card you can cast in paper without having to do any, uh, "translating" between digital and cardboard. Assemble the Team two mana is about right for a really good Impulse...

ELSPETH CONFIRMED TO HAVE SURVIVED THE SYLEX BLAST i don't care about nothin' else

There's a combo deck in Pauper that does some adjacent version of this. Cards that do what you want: Gurmag Angler Tombstalker Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos Keen Duelist Illuminor Szeras Energy Tap Sacrifice Slobad, Iron Goblin Soldevi Adnate One With The Machine Rush of Knowledge Sister...

Absolutely.
