Imagine that you assigned point values to each land. The highest one being 100 (or whatever), and the next 80, then 75, whatever. The lands do not all have equal value. The players will start by taking the most valuable lands, and eventually the value will kind of level off. By giving somebody...

Eric I think that's bad, I would hate to be player I. The average may be the same in pick index, but not in average pick value, which is a function of the value of the distribution of power level in your draft pool. Statistically speaking, this is a bad idea.

I've been thinking about bringing Tezzeret, Agent of Balls back in, to bring in competing demand for lifegain enabler, Vault Skirge.

Are there ways to abuse that here? One issue with these unique build-arounds is that they're really not worth building around unless you have multiple copies, since you can't rely on having access. I feel like you need a suite of overlapping effects to obtain it, or a card that is flexible...

Snake is the only acceptable answer.

Maybe take the discussion over to your thread?

Part of my problem with blue is that, many of the themes I design don't have much design space into blue. Blue is the least important color in the Zombie / Birthing Pod suite, and doesn't really have any connection to the lifegain package. How can we connect it to other colors in interesting...

Is that the goal? Isn't it aggro < midrange < control < disruptive aggro < aggro ? Um, are there any like, blue prison decks we can build? How many tops and brainstorms does one need to pull off Counterbalance? That's a stupid idea, right? What are ways that blue control has been interesting...

That rare intersection between reanimation and combat trick.

MKM is useful but super tedious. I've been surprised, my orders from CFB have both had inexpensive shipping (~$5) and gotten here within a week each time. Ordering from a real site is far more convenient than MKM when hunting down loads of cheap cards.

Hey Lucas / Chris Taylor, show me a theoretical Cipher card that isn't an abomination.

Do Standard cards classify as "staples"? I generally don't buy standard cards > $5 if I can avoid it.

Yes, that's the idea, but I can't get the specific implementation right.

I have never regretted buying a format staple. They just never come down. Even banned cards. Like, how is Jace more expensive than when he is in Standard? Who the fuck is keeping Survival of the Fittest at $25?

My worry for Tooth and Nail is that it requires you to fill your deck with too many expensive duders. You need like, two finishers in your hand or not in your hand, which is not always where my ramp decks want to be, curve wise.

Just putting this out there, if anybody ever wants to get on Skype and be my sounding board while I brainstorm ideas that would be much appreciated. I'm currently trying to figure out what would be the most entertaining response to the question "what would you say is your biggest weakness", in...

I actually read Dom's post earlier and didn't realize what the other card was, so I'd say it was fairly effective. :)

Remand has a price tag?

Are you also a resident of Value Town? Mulldrifter Undying Evil

I hovered over all of those and none of them were Cryptic Command!
