It doesn't have to be. Back when I ran weekly 8-mans we would launch at 8 and finish around 11:30. I think a lot of that though was having a set up bracket system ahead of time, so people could just fire off their matches as soon as they were ready, rather than waiting for the whole round to...

Flip Liliana is one of my favorite cards from recent years. I think in an environment catered to her she may even be a bit over the curve, but it's a very satisfying payoff card to the Aristocrats archetype.

Anybody played Destiny 2? It seemed like a fun co-op type of game for Karen and I, and the Black Friday deals look enticing. I've never played either Destiny before, and we probably would never really get to the endgame, but I've heard good things about it as a casual experience.

How have people experienced Mentor of the Meek? I ran it for a long time but it never quite found its feet. Then again, I never did all that much to explicitly support it.

If the question is comparing 2-drops, the Hydra doesn't really even qualify. I also think the Harpooner is kind of an absurd amount of text, so if the players aren't already familiar with it I would consider giving it a cut.

I uh... play my custom pack wars format on the reg!

I'm more concerned about Jump Start requiring an extra discard than the distribution of the mana.

It's a bit tangential, but I once wrote an article on set cubes that may have some relevance: https://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-set-cubes/

Wait, what's the CMC on split cards again? The cascade into split card was always a weird mechanic... just thinking about Erratic Cyclops interactions.

If you were looking for something to invert....

Of all the cards I've seen, this is the ugliest.

Psssh, no reprinted mechanics is my prediction.

This is nutso, I'm pretty sure I got it for around 20 cents when RTR was released. Or just kept a copy from a draft and didn't think anything of it, other than being a borderline cube card.

Unleash was barely even a mechanic. I think in practice I've put the counter on the card 90%+ of the time. Maybe that's a cube bias though. Only this one ever gets put on blocking duty:

I like that the graveyard mechanics interact with each other in a smooth way. Should encourage drafting certain three-color pairs. Whenever I drafted RTR things felt really disconnected.

What about... Xantcha Sacrifice a permanent: Regenerate target creature Starting & Max Hand Size: +1 Starting Life: +3

This never would have occurred to me. Thanks!
