Remember, this is good ol' "vintage doesn't have good enough mana" blacksmithy you're talking to. ;) I love it.

I'd honestly say that it's more of a 4C "archetype" at this point, with most of the explicit support living in Rakdos/Jund and Blue loving artifacts in general. ... As someone who has tried multiple iterations of making a Treasure-themed cube... you really need to nail down exactly what you...

You are correct there. I still think it's pretty clunky, but it's less clunky than I thought it was.

I just hate that, cards-as-written, you can't really use the initiative cards with the pre-existing venture cards. That's just clunky design, WotC! (I mean, yes, cards that go "do THE THING when you complete a dungeon" work, but you can't choose to venture into the Undercity unless you have an...

Is it just me, or does this set feel like a custom set some D&D fans tossed together? Looking at the official spoilers (and the vast number of leaks), it doesn't feel like it coheres. I do think that some of the designs are cute, though I'm not a big fan of how Backgrounds are literally useless...

I think Flash looks fair to me — it's basically Swiftfoot Boots with the haste swapped for a +1/+0.

Is Ascension Level 5 supposed to consist solely of Backup Plan?

Yeah, this. Does it suck that you lost money over this after months of getting no news? Yes, definitely, and she should have kept you informed about her progress (or lack thereof) way earlier. It's just that "she sends you back the money she received" is basically the only simple way to handle...

It's actually exactly $3 at the moment. The current exchange rate, as of the market closing on May 9th, 2022, from NOK to USD is 1kr to $0.10. Also, here's the thing: 1. She does have to pay some of those fees to return your money — Paypal takes their cut both ways, for example. 2. The money...

Honestly? Accept that you're down 30 kroner — you aren't getting them back, and it isn't reasonable for you to expect to get them back. She is absolutely correct that it's not the seller's responsibility to make up for any losses (or gains!) due to exchange rates. She has, after all, returned...

And of course I was the one to bring up cubing with it... I have a problem, folks. ;)

So, something that I just noticed... Writ of Return Because this doesn't target, you can cipher this onto the creature you reanimate. That seems pretty nice if your cube has hasty/evasive threats to reanimate.

Thanks for the definition (that makes quite a bit of sense)... but I was trying to point out that you never define the term in the rules. ;)

I just skimmed those rules, and there's a reference to "Bury" roles. What are those?

I think it's because that's how roguelikes did it back in the day, and people are weirdly eager to carry design stuff forwards (see all of the card-based roguelites where you have exactly three energy every turn, because that's how much STS gives you.)

True... I'm just a little salty that "we made procedurally-generated levels for our game, because we couldn't afford to hand-craft everything" has turned into a selling point, especially since it feels like that's the only thing that anyone ever uses procgen for (I know that's not literally...

I feel like it'd need a "non-token" clause.

Sorry, it's like the one thing I'll yell at someone on the internet over. I have opinions about roguelikes, mostly as a result of how incredibly lazy most mainstream applications of procedural generation have been. If every game that people were saying had "roguelike elements" approached their...

It's 100% not a roguelike¹. It lacks the all-important emphasis on randomness-driven system mastery, and instead focuses on... scenario mastery? I think that's the best way to phrase it? Basically, it gives you a big list of things you need to accomplish within its limited timeframe, and your...
