This is exactly how I feel about the game, too. WoW is one of my favourite games of all time, and probably my favourite co-op game ever. But after I cancelled my subscription, I knew that as much as I wanted to, I'd probably never play it again. So far that's held true, six years and counting!

Oh, for drawing cards outside of blue, this kind of does that... Armillary Sphere I tried to make this work in Standard right after rotation, when I foolishly thought 'Big Red splash Ajani Vengeant' could be a deck. It took about all of thirty seconds for Bloodbraid Elf into Blightning to...

Halp! So after Jason spurred me into action for my puke-inducing choice of Wall of Reverence, I tried the Seraph of Dawn experiment. It's been a moderate success here, and while it goes late, the control decks often maindeck it to hold off evasive bodies, gain some amount of life, and peck...

We had a topic on this waaaaaaaay back when in the old Google Group. My take on it back then, which I think addresses some (but not all) of Alfonzo's questions, was thus: -------------------- I had more combat tricks in the past, too, but they weren't cutting the mustard. Vines of Vastwood...

I've updated the first post in this thread to keep a running tally of the winning decklists here, week in week out. Part of it is to preserve them for posterity and bragging rights, so the winners can look back on the draft they crushed. The other motive is to let newcomers to my draft group get...

Then you don't even want to hear about my Plan C: Wait eleven turns until I hit eight mana, cast Profane Command targeting Massacre Wurm. My opponent shows me the Delay. I show him one specific finger on each hand.

Yeah, I'm not really into the idea of a package of cards. Goldenpineapple summed it up very well: custom drafting rules add complexity to an already complex process, which may or may not be worth the payoff. Supporting packages by breaking singleton and doubling up (or quintupling up, as it...

I dunno, I had Harmonize for a while here, and it was nothing but underwhelming. Concentrate never really excited anyone, and color-shifting it because green is poor in pure draw still doesn't get the juices flowing. The problem is mostly that it's slow, and taking up your whole fourth turn to...

There's totally a Sylvan Caryatid in there. (That I didn't draw once all night, but that's beside the point.)

I'm.. not sure. I've run this style of BUG reanimator deck with six finishers before, and that was probably a hair too many. I think the ideal mixture would be four reanimation spells and around five fatties. In this case, since all of my finishers were hardcastable, I could at least reasonably...

It should totally be a Cleric Shaman.

For a variety of reasons, no 3-0 deck emerged last night. But I thought I'd still post my list cause even though it wasn't good by any definition of the word, it was fun! Ones 1 Inquisition of Kozilek 1 Thoughtseize Twos 1 Baleful Strix 1 Fauna Shaman 1 Merfolk Looter 1 Reassembling Skeleton...

Not exactly on topic, but last night, a guy in my draft assembled this. I don't have any special rules here, so.. he spent five real picks on his collection of birds. Squadron Hawk Squadron Hawk Squadron Hawk Squadron Hawk Squadron Hawk Pack Rat I was immensely entertained. His opponents...

Pssst, guys: Daring Skyjek is better than Accorder Paladin! No, for reals. I've tried them both and Skyjek has a mode where it survives. Cloistered Youth is not good. Not in draft, not in constructed, not in cube. The life loss is a real downside, and pretending that it's not won't make it go...

I really like adventureson.com for old-ass, hard to find commons and uncommons, along with bulk rares. They stock lots of 'em at pretty reasonable prices. If they're out of stock on anything, they have an option where they'll track it down for you, though that can sometimes add a month of delay...

Yeah, as a cube owner, it's often up to you to fill the void when your players' sensibilities just don't line up with a particular archetype. In the beginning, my early playgroup had an aversion to red, so it fell to me to bust their balls with near mono-red aggro decks. More recently, my...

Well, that sacrifices, so while you get your pinpoint land destruction, you're theoretically still at card parity. These lands draw you a Pillage. Maybe the closest comparison would be the Windbrisk Heights cycle, which also drew you a card. I suppose if something like Shelldock Isle can...

Or something oddball like Slaughter Pact

Yeah, Acid-Moss doesn't set the bar very high. It's just that while it's a spell that ramps, this is a land that casts a spell, which I think is nearly an order of magnitude better because it doesn't cost you any slots in your deck. Have there been any precedents for this? Honest question, as I...

if Deathrite Shaman had been submitted as a custom card we might have insta-banned that user
