Right, Whip of Erebos is legitimately very strong, and maybe the best reanimation spell overall over here.

To be fair, I didn't know that card existed either until the limited guru in my playgroup insisted I throw it into my cube, as it's one of his all-time favourite draft commons. I figured it was more interesting than my second Riftwing Cloudskate anyways, so I made the swap.

True, I basically can't play any of the Starcraft games, because my brain just can't handle everything that's going on.

I actually enjoy all of the threads that get side tracked into an art discussion, but I think it's a meaty enough topic that it deserves its own thread.

I guess it's like a slow as molasses Whip of Erebos in that regard, then?

Complete non sequitur, but do you start your work day at 9 am? I notice a flurry of posts from you everyday at around that time.

Yeah, I've only done one Fates/Khans/Khans draft, but I concur that the first pack is really bomby in the rare slot, and mostly filler afterwards. It seems to reward opening well more than triple Khans, so I'm not sure I'm a big fan. Also, that guy is totally not Man-o'-War. He's a Mist Raven...

That was a game I could not get into, despite really trying to multiple times. It felt too hipster to me, for lack of a better term.

You guys are crazy, Bastion and Diablo are both sweet. I can't imagine playing Bastion on anything but a gamepad, though; I remember dodging being a crucial element in some of the later Proving Grounds (those arena-type battles).

Yeah, as I've chatted about with Suicufnoc before, I'm not too keen on running an image hosting database here. But if the images were hosted on one of the many available external services, we could host your webpage and code on this domain.

The only thing I regret about putting Bow of Nylea into my cube is needing to pick it up off the table every other turn from my opponent's side, because I can't remember what any of its five abilities are. Seems like it hits the mark for power, at least.

Anyone tried the studio's next game yet, Transistor?

Great post, Rasmus. As you saw in my Modern Archetype cube thread, Gruul was the colour combination that gave me the most trouble by far when coming up with interesting designs. A lot of RG cards lend themselves well to good-stuff-midrange, and if you're not careful, the decks players draft in...

Yeah, I find that describes a lot of Level 5's catalog of RPGs - really beautiful to look at, but somewhat pedestrian to actually play, sometimes bordering on boring. Dragon Quest IX was guilty of this, and I gave up trying to slog my way through it after about twenty hours in. Dark Cloud 2...

Bastion is one of my favourite games of the last gen, and that soundtrack is boss! I really like the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack, too. It's super cheerful.

Crap, I never bought 999 when it came out... it's probably impossible to find now. :( Maybe I should just pick up the sequel for 3DS. I felt that Phantom Hourglass was just ok, so I didn't bother picking up Spirit Tracks as a result. Minish Cap, though! That was a fantastic portable Zelda...

I played a ton of Nintendo DS back in the day, though I think the only game I ever really got into the multiplayer for was Mart Kart DS, which was incredible both online and locally, the latter of which could host eight (!) players. Man, that was a riot, especially because the only time we could...

I generally don't care for iOS games, and I barely know a midfield from a midrange, but this is gobbling up all of my time right now.

Sweet list! Those are all classics. Diablo 3 was just okay when it came out a few years ago, but post patch (i.e. Reaper of Souls) it's some of the most fun co-op multiplayer I've played since World of Warcraft. The endgame becomes a grind, but everything leading up to that was very satisfying...

Also {G}{W}{W} is non-trivial to cast, even for a five-drop. I really wanted this to succeed in my cube to give GW more angles of attack, but its restrictive casting cost was its demise: Advent of the Wurm
