Part of the reason I feel out of place in Belgium is that everybody here loves League of Legends and Big Bang Theory. I have a theory for this. Belgians grow up watching American television, but only sort of. They grew up watching the shows that could be exported and sold for cheap licensing...

I cannot play Haakon with my density of looting effects. Ophiomancer seems... annoyingish? I kind of hate the design. Maybe not as much as I hate the design of my second least favorite green card, but I can see it maybe leading to annoying games.

Devotion!

My cube ran pingers and this guy for a while in its very earliest iteration. Basilisk Collar The second deck to ever 3 - 0 an 8-man draft of my cube was a Boros Pingers deck with Collar, Stoneforge, and, one that you've forgotten, Spikeshot Elder. I really don't run any anymore and don't think...

It can be either. I'd write about the one you think has a better chance of winning the contest. Or if related, talk about both.

Hmm... On my phone, can't really answer without card tags but I'll take a look later.

I played Tumble Magnet in Scars era Standard. Three counters was plenty

I wrote two critiques today. These are fun! Hey regulars, give me some submissions to shred!

Today I got a rando LinkedIn contact request from somebody whose job title is "Professional"

One of the categories was: "The next superhero duo: _____ and _____" I put "Robert Downey Jr." and "crippling debt", but the judge totally didn't get it and I felt mildly indignant.

Happy Black Friday errbody! Phyrexian Obliterator

But note that I play a very mana constrained environment, and value those cards above Counterspell in almost all of my decks.

I think it's fine but don't really see it as being more effective in tempo than something like Evasive Action, Miscalculation, Mana Leak, etc.

Yeah, I think the faster your environment is, the more Tumble Magnet gains over Icy. So many of our games come down to tempo, and being able to deploy and protect something like a PW on Turn 4 can make a huge difference.

Well, yeah, obviously. I won the unstated "write articles for ChannelFireball contest" to settle an argument with the entire MTGS boards. Appeals to authority are incredibly effective.

I went on a blind date a friend set up last night, and apparently it was board game night at the cafe she's a regular at so we went there and played Cards Against Humanity with a big group. It was my turn to judge, and the category was "______ will always get you laid." I flip through the...

Well, the best thing about Tumble Magnet was that it required no mana to activate, which was pretty important. I actually ran it until recently, and would say it's fairly cubeable. Far more palatable than Icy Manipulator, in my opinion.

UG Delver here we come.
