This is more or less the exact opposite experience we had with Terra Mystica. As the sole "hardcore" gamer in the group, I planned my moves ahead of time, while other people were taking their turns, and never spent more than a minute or two actually executing my plan. The casual gamers, on the...

I will say that, as someone who always wonders why my group is bothering with board games instead of playing Magic, Resistance is one of the few games that doesn't automatically bring that question to the forefront.

I like Resistance (and Avalon) a lot more than One Night Werewolf, and a little more than Coup. Resistance is one of my favourite games that I've played in the last two years, actually. I'm in no way an expert, though. Echoing Onder, I'm a big fan of Suburbia. It's one of the best games in the...

My thoughts are: those cards are beautiful, and you should include them for that reason alone.

Super thread necro, go! A post on Twitter recently got me to thinking - is it time to include some hot signet action? Control could use a boost around here, and one of the cornerstones of a strong control deck is solid fixing via mana rocks. I currently run Wayfarer's Bauble Coldsteel Heart...

it feels to me that he's almost the equivalent of the worst gamergate trolls, except that he bats for the other team but i'm sure the irony would be lost on him

i tried the red genju for a while but didn't like it because it essentially has an upkeep of :1: (in addition to the activation cost), which is a big deal even in aggro decks, which tend to be constrained on mana

i love the idea of self-mill in BUG and really like Sidisi that said, for a three colour card like her to be worthwhile, the power level would have to be capped. even in my middling-power cube i don't know if she'd cut it

i remember pros were fond of drafting uw aggro in shards, but in my own experience decks were never two colour

not only am i a fan i contributed to his patreon for about two months. he even got sue ann harkey (early magic art director) to post a comment on one of his posts i think the author is one of CML's friends irl

That's really interesting, and doesn't seem to be too far-fetched given the draft-altering robot constructs we've had in Conspiracy. My only concern is that fetching two lands can be a bit of a mental puzzle, especially mid-draft, and that it would hold up the current packs from making their way...

couple of highlights from my last cube update Dictate of Heliod ----> Ajani Goldmane Sublime Archangel it was pointed out to me by multiple drafters that while Dictate of Heliod isn't necessarily too powerful for my list, it's very uninteractive. it's for the same reason that i removed...

i will also chime in to say that with Jason mostly inactive on the cube front, i now regularly compare against CML's list whenever i make changes to my own cube, as kind of a sanity check

Ancestral Vision vs. Treasure Cruise this was an actual prolonged debate at the office that started in one room and moved to two others

It's probably slightly better if your sacrifice theme extends into green... but even then, if that means waiting until getting a Birthing Pod activation to cash him in for a land, he's probably not your best ramp option. He's a little bit like Lotus Cobra in that he's more useful in decks that...

I think you guys are right, my nostalgia for Boggart Ram-Gang is probably clouding my good judgment. He's still fine nowadays, but that mana cost is awkward in anything but mono-red or straight RG. Burning-Tree Emissary is an all-in kinda gal, but provides a unique effect that can give you some...

Burning-Tree Emissary vs. Boggart Ram-Gang

Yeah, I think this is probably still a cube I wouldn't fork over real money to play, but it's the first 'power-max' cube I can think of that's cut all the Swords. Which means it isn't really power-max anymore; they care about players being able to interact, so that puts them in the realm of...

It's not a Lucas post unless he's patronizing you, or otherwise being condescending. My last warning to him on here didn't really change anything, so I've given up - Lucas will be Lucas.

600 cards, no Swords to speak of. It's certainly a start! The fact that Randy Buehler is now in charge has me excited. edit: a wild human theme appears! Champion of the Parish Gather the Townsfolk Xathrid Necromancer how is it that they're missing Mayor of Avabruck
