    The Board Game Thread

    FSR, could you recommend some of Reiner Knizia's games? I see a bunch of them every time I peruse the selection of board games available on my iPad, but I can't tell what's what. Speaking of which, anyone else find that tablets are a perfect platform for board games? I can't stand playing...

    Card/Deck Creature Cloning/Stealing Variants

    When I had it, it was a little below the bar. Even in the aggressive blue decks around here, a 1/1 flyer for :u: didn't contribute meaningfully to the board state, and those decks often didn't hit seven mana.

    Card/Deck Mana rocks / Colourless mana fixing

    My main issue with Wildfire is that you need to devote a lot of space to mana rocks to support the deck, because you can count on U/x control nabbing some number of them every draft. I think the number somebody came up with is 12 in a 450 - or was it 14? I forget - which is a higher density than...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Yeah, I cut Sower of Temptation myself for being mega-swingy; I generally try to avoid cards like that, because Removal Checks are the opposite of fun. Maybe plain ol' Control Magic is the way to go.

    Card/Deck Creature Cloning/Stealing Variants

    the better question is: how many of each effect do you run i'm at one and zero

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Yeah, if you're not power-maxing, I can see Treachery being really bomby & swingy. Maybe Sower of Temptation, instead? At least Shock answers that. It's mostly personal preference, but at this point, I'm pretty anti-steal and anti-clone. I think I run zero of both effects.

    Card/Deck Mana rocks / Colourless mana fixing

    Yeah, I will say that Everflowing Chalice has been underwhelming. Maybe doubling up on, say, Prismatic Lens is the way to go?

    General Fight Club

    I like it! As long as people don't mind the fiddly-ness of Vivid-like counters on their lands. I'd kind of be inclined to make the first ability use charge counters, though, to make it not strictly better than basic Forest. I think you want the land to encourage splashing, and have the main...

    The Board Game Thread

    Played my second game of Betrayal at House on the Hill tonight, and I'll confirm that the game is a hoot. It's got pretty much everything I'm looking for in a game - asymmetrical characters, co-operative planning and strategizing, dice rolling for combat, and a D&D-like mini-campaign once the...

    General Fight Club

    Maybe it comes into play tapped, unless you fulfill a certain criteria? e.g. revealing a white or blue card from your hand? Sure, but I assume the other non-basic lands that Onder is working with come out of the regular pool of Magic cards, none of which are strictly better than a basic land...

    General Fight Club

    Cards that are almost strictly better than basics are a little dangerous, though, no? Especially ones that can generate three (!!) colours of mana. I like the first design the best, but think it should have some sort of cost associated with it, moreso than just not being a basic land type...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    I actually thought The Abyss had that extra clause on it, but you're right, it's actually Pestilence that I'm thinking of. In any case, I think the card would benefit a lot from that rider.
