I don't know, I feel like the Titans do an effective way of "upping the urgency" of the gamestate, as Cooperfauss would say. Grave Titan is beatable, but it certainly changes things. I realize everyone has their line (wait, that's a lie), and for me Grave Titan and Wurmcoil fall on opposite...

Flood ruins many fewer games if you run a heavy dose of utility lands. Being able to pump that mana into a Faerie Conclave and chip away at their PW is the difference between a game and non-game of Magic often.

Yeah, I thought about this card when considering the CMC of effects discussion earlier. Stealing instead of destroying (or exiling, whatever) for 3 mana is what feels so off here. Couldn't the steal target artifact at least have been a -3? Like, the closest analogue is probably if Liliana of...

Uh, I write compute code all day, and create (kind of) software for performing statistical analyses. Does that count?

Yeah, I think I've mentioned it several times before. It's my favorite fantasy book that I've ever read, not that I'm the most well versed. It's gotten pretty popular too, especially with the Penny-Arcade guys always banging on about it.

Player 1 opens Forest, Lotus Petal, Channel, Blightsteel Colossus Player 2 opens Black Lotus, Island, Dack Attack The game lives on forever as a tweet.

One more article on the front page and Eric's "giant mouse cursor of doom" will finally escape us.

Is there a "destroy target artifact or enchantment" card with Cycling on it? That would be some fun tension.

Maybe you just need artifacts that need to be stolen less? I mean, if a player pays 3 mana to yoink a Wurmcoil and STILL has a PW left over, is that really the spot you want to be in? Also, isn't this dude's ultimate, like, the worst ever? Maybe not, but I can see it being useless. Either...

MODO also never has players tie and reroll. The dice are rigged! And the shuffler too!

I do kind of look forward to seeing if / how people use this in Vintage. I'm always intrigued by cards that make their only home in Vintage, although I guess "artifact" in the text is one of the major ways to make a home exclusively in Vintage.

Maybe more brutal this way. Imagine playing an early PW that bounced a land back to their hand. They may never recover from the tempo loss.

Eric, why are you rolling 6-siders and not D20s?

You duders have lists of the JOU cards you're running?

I like the analysis of the CMC of effects versus the CMC of the Planeswalker. Are there other PWs with weird disparities? Curiously, JTMS is comprised mostly of (extremely efficient) 1-CMC effects.

Probably just for clarity to new players, not for rules lawyering.

Probably just a filler / limited mechanic.

I'm guessing the number of cubes that run profitable artifacts to recur far outweight those with strong enchantment themes.

Just follow the normal rules mid-game.
