I think elspeth would be a lot more fair if there were more threats to planeswalkers out there. Ones that are easy to rationalize main decking. Things like rolling earthquake and dread bore. But likely I'd want more things that just deatroy it than do trivial damage. Neo lava spike R Sorcery...

I don't think I'm comfortable enough to be sarcastic with you guys yet so don't worry about it. If I seem insincere just picture me with a glow of childlike innocence and wonderment. Maybe I should change my display picture to suit that.

Is being a statistician as fun as I've heard?

Yeah I was considering that in my perusal of holy light effects but I was wondering if pontiff would equate to a more interactive version of that in cubes that were excited about spawn tokens and sac effects like bombardment. Like I can imagine sacing this guy and a spirit to bombardment or...

Poop I was hoping we had just entered some sort of block season. I guess people only ever cared about it for tournament testing though. Yeah I haven't played constructed in ever so I'm out of the loop. I don't even think scg tournaments were a big international deal back then.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes: I was considering posting on the salvation card evaluation thread but I don't think too many players there nurture environments where a card like Orzhov Pontiff can excel or even really be considered for a multicolored slot. I...

I like this trend of finding out what the internet thinks about when you say things. This has got to be the driest humor I've ever seen. Oh and welcome Kranny, I've really been enjoying your cubing podcast.

What does Sarkhan do for you guys? Either one? I've never really played either when they did anything interesting.

Well that's the thing, it really doesn't need to happen on turn 2. I will say it goes a long way to making your decks less reliant on blue for their low impact card advantage / fixing spells. It's like how you don't Thirst on turn 3 all the time. If your black section can gain any life or if you...

I'm going to miss jackal pap

I think I know where you are coming from. I guess I was just reaching to add more rationalization. I think some of the judge promo cards might be fun because I know I love them and there are a lot of them that do something interesting that modern design has yet to find a really solid way to...

Give them few things to ramp into? I guess this question is exceptionally hard given the necessities that domain x five colour imply. I guess fixing can be of the mana exchange variety. We could also see a surge of 1 and 2 cc aggressive spells. Making 1/2/3 drops more interesting keeps people...

What format are you guys playing? Is block season over yet, I've been bad at paying attention when I haven't spent much time with my computer of late. Good luck man!

Man ROE had bad discard? There was a really big patch between cabal therapy and thoughtsieze where the best you could get were cards like ravenous rats and distress. These eldrazi decks seem like something we were talking about earlier. Tooth and nail decks or rude awakening decks or plow...

Hhahaha a five colour format where every card is the same power level sounds like you could pick up just about anything and feel good about yourself so long as you're curving! I'm trying to imagine such a thing. It sounds kinda idyllic, yes?

I'm generally pretty happy if they terminate my thragtusk, less happy if they terminate my Kiki but I'm probably feeling fine. Frost titan is more interesting, but I think I'm feeling comfortable if I'm only losing 2 tempo points and it got to do something. It's more about having played a six...

I was hoping he'd make it a little more fast and tweak a few things here and there so it wouldn't be such a "disruption made me cry" type of format.

Passing the terminate test to these people implies it did something other than just die to terminate netting your opponent a big tempo windfall. A card like shriekmaw passes, it did something A card like elesh norn passes, it has been doing something A card like grisslebrand passes it can do...

Maybe that's why I loved M13 so much. The format felt like they could get an easy handle on the power level because we, and more importantly, the designers, had walked that ground before.

Jason, I found some pretty questionable picks when I decided to try drafting what I thought was your cube in cubetutor. Mark of the vampire stands out in my mind. Maybe some sort of error? I just did a quick run through trying to pick the worst/weirdest card every pick to see if I could post...
