    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Baleful Strix is one of my favourite cards. I know why it isn't in standard, that's just humane, but I have to wonder about what she'd be like in modern. Maybe I should ask caleb to do a banned series on it because boy is there a gaping hole where a UB deck could be. Anyway how does everyone...

    General Making Aggro more inclusive

    Man does ion storm seem slow. Notes on young pyromancer. - He's pretty strong in low removal environments - Incedentally most low removal environments rely more on enchantments which are usually bad against pyro, and woes with him. That sort of removal is also just bad in general for...

    I'm imagining more of a palanquin or litter.

    Sets [KTK] Khans of Tarkir Spoilers

    I think it's really depressing that it's an equipment for gameplay reasons, but they are really opening up what can be flavored as equipment.

    General Beginner Mistakes

    I feel like it's wiser for me to just sit this one out at this point, I don't want to sound derisive, misrepresent myself, correct anyone, fight old battles, be the bad guy again or go on and on like a crazy person. It just isn't worth it. I don't see anything new coming from me explaining what...

    The Book Thread

    Yeah I think Pratchett has given me all the urban fantasy I need for a while, and I'm way over my limit for fantasy as is. I think I need something that makes me wonder or makes me uncomfortable so maybe weird fiction can go in there too? Southern gothic? Classic Robert Chambers / Lovecraft...

    Tron is like giving grey / topend decks card advantage. The real beauty of tron isn't necessarily getting mana faster, which is still super sweet when you get to grim monolith people out that way, but it's more that it's so many fewer cards you have to sink into your land pile to play bombs...

    Sweet thanks anotak, Iain Banks is probably one of my favourite genre authors I've been through all of the culture books already, but it says great things to your taste!

    General Beginner Mistakes

    I wasn't saying grillos formats were for babies, I'm saying standard is one. It is required to be somewhat tempered due to it's flagship status. The only thing to do with grillo was criticizing using a standard article reinforce his point regarding removal. I was sick of the argument so I didn't...

    I don't think you read me right! Your reply didn't really deal with any of the ideas I had when I wrote that post. Maybe I need to explain myself further. 1) My reply about how it applied to baby formats was more or less just for grillo. I think it's fine to sculpt your standard format around...

    I'm looking for more SF and short SF. Especially anything popular enough to have been released in audiobook.

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    I actually kinda like that saying, but I'd prefer not to be playing in formats where people are constantly second guessing their place on the rock paper scissors metagame at all.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    To me they are just both wordy and timingy ways of breaking synergy that an unenfranchised player will not pick up on immediately but can be explained. On this enchantment note, what would it take for heliod's pilgrim to be worthwhile. I know it's already a powerhouse in peasant.

    Are cloudposts actually fun? Did anyone here play any standard format dominated by tron?

    You could go really heavy on 1-2-3 and really lighten up on 4-5-6.
