These are all fine cards that get along great with hellrider, bombardment etc and I recommend you try running more weenie cans instead of unexciting white 2-3 drops. and maybe some red ones too. Original costed orcish offlamy or whatever it's called is a great add. Might even make red decks...

Try doubling up on raise the alarm and run a bunch of those cards above and you'll find your delver of secrets, young pyromancer, glorious anthem, carrion feeder and blasting station get better.

Yeah I'm inclined to agree with you on both counts. I don't want to consume that book with the opinions of my friends fresh in my ears.

So like, after you've sunk 7 or 9 mana and several points of power into it you may have done 4 or 6 damage? I know it's a way to turn things that aren't cards into damage, which is great and all, but it still cost a card to put it into play and it costs what a spell would cost for each...

From what I know about the main character it seems to be a really idealized version of the classic American industrialist "robber baron" that deals with a variety of people and troubles that are all sort of straw man arguments to prove the central thrust of her philosophy. I relate that easily...

Betrayers I thought was weaker than saviors, but I just hated that draft format so I'm probz missing something and I love Celestial Kirin, Pithing Needle, Channel in general, Miren, the Moaning Well, Descendant of Kiyomaro, Hail of arrows and Ghost-lit Stalker to death. I don't think we agree...

I think you've got it. It's also playing more than one game. You've got to see more cards and it gives you removal. I think it really helps green decks in this regard and other midranged decks in colours that don't get to kill creatures extremely often or are often in top deck mode.

I don't really care about ice bucket shit but I thought this was weirdly worth sharing. Someone took David Lynch's entree and played it backward The original

I'm gonna say this now: If you run double Young Pyromancer you probably want to try out double Firebolt.

Yeah I'm sure it's totes the point. It just seemed so cartoonish when he read it and like every character or argument from the way he described it seemed to be part of some obvious straw man argument. Maybe that's the point too, but it didn't seem like it would be as entertaining to me as it...

No dude, I mean the pace of the game reminded me of playing in extended, and how hard the hard counters were and how you needed them. I have no idea why you think I'm making a direct comparison between modern affinity and Clamp Affinity etc lol. Nearly unbeatable? I dunno man goblins + oxidize...

Protection is very powerful sometimes. My argument for SOFI is that it's protection abilities are more or less the least relevant of any sword and the least powerful abilities on the card (unless you have tonnes of multicoloured removal and stabilizers in the format). No one believes me so...

I couldn't bring myself to. I do have it waiting on my desktop in audio, Peter got to it first and it felt wrong to read it right after him. I feel like I might move from moderate to liberal if I read it and I don't know if I like that.

Hahahaha my friend would read sections of it to us while we were drinking as he made his way through it. It's like modern epic meets mary sue fanfiction from what I can tell.

Lol I'll lift the wikipedia first line because it does a pretty good job. I was a little glib with that word, but you know what I mean right?

CML remains my favourite poster because of this shit. This example absolutely illustrates my frustrations with Maro content and the way magic players relate to wotc design shit. That set made such a huge positive impact to the draft format and added a little freshness to a pretty diverse and...

Hahaha, okay I know I'm not addressing any points right now, but it sounds like you me and Anotak need to talk! At least you can probably help me put my dumb cube experiment together. Don't worry about pedigree man, I never knew how to play proper peasant competitively and I was always really in...

It's really weird when I find out people I respect take that book seriously (also not like inter-textually or whatever, it's obvious blatant political ramifications)

Cubers and EDH players both enjoy casual magic and playing in a format where anything can happen but we seem to come at it from entirely different perspectives.
