hey guyz. so i turned in a characteristic CML performance at the SCG opens, starting 5-1 and dropping at 5-4 in standard and playing excellent magic at legacy for four rounds before fucking up in a fashion that brought about much self-loathing. it was very "me in 2011" and I'll try to do better...

So CML, approximately what percentage of your book is fictional?

My problem with Plow Under and its ilk is that the card produced bad games of Magic. It either ended things in short order or did very little. Design-wise I consider Primal Command to be strictly superior.

Right. I think this is a good dynamic.

Kind of hate Shudder as a card.

Yeah, but if you sac the enchantment post combat pre-end you get a twofer. 4/1 Token for 1R? Test it? i would play that card. Maybe.

Apparently the northwestern OkCupid market is filled with MPDGs.

Looks like we have our first forum contest. Actually that would be the worst.

Unblockable in Selesnya?

Chris, the difference is that the creature would still die EOT. So I don't know if the Torch Fiend parallel really holds. Like, if I play it I get a 4/1 sac EOT. Maybe that's terrible. You could still 2 for 1 if you got an attack in unblocked, but it seems to offer some interesting timing...

I am going to be completely honest and say that, although I have read EVERY word you have posted on this site, sometimes I don't know what to make of your arguments. The primary reason likely being that your rants tend to cover too much ground and focus on things like unifying theories, and you...

Have you read Sirlin's Yomi stuff? (theory, not game)

I think I just got negged by a woman:

Although if you did change that you might have to make the creature more powerful? I don't know if that design necessitates changing the stats. But if you didn't, the power would strictly decrease.

CML, don't you think those are separate issues? Like, I can feel that society should take car of its own while still feeling that individuals should take more ownership over their fate and their perils. I mean, we can debate over what counts as the "basic cable" of human existence, and it...

I like Sparkseal but kind of wish there were a design that had some more subtlety or finesse or choice to it. Great idea behind it but I wonder if there's not a way to tie the two parts of the card together more. What if you had to choose. When the creature dies, you lose the enchantment. When...

That would be one of the most broken one-drops ever, no? It swings through x/1's without blinking.

P.S. no room for Silverblade and Fabled Hero?

Thank god there's no more Hornet Queen. hate hate hate hate hate that card

As a side not I think the "nobody owes you shit" is a good mantra to live by in general. In job applications, games, romance, school. If things are sucking for you, it may be due to outside sources, but even so, the only way you can positively impact it is by changing you. Outsourcing the blame...
