    That's a shame, Puerto Rico is one of my faves. Guess I'll just have to pick up the board game version...

    Nothing is actually good in EDH.

    The only Evo mainstage game I truly care about is Guilty Gear. I hope they rigged the brackets and put as many Japanese players in the same pools as possible so that there's SOME tension as to how it will all turn out. Also I understand the appeal of flying out top players for the big ticket...

    ok have a real keyboard again Dungeon Fighter Online is a 2.5D Streets of Rage style beat-em-up MMORPG that is still huge in S.Korea and China, despite being like 7 years old or whatever at this point. It does use a gating mechanism (Fatigue Points) to keep you from playing FOREVER and dying...

    But you end up looking pretty similar to other people with the same free avatars :<

    A lot has changed but yeah that's mostly still the case. The global version is new and is directly run by the devs and they have done a good job with engaging with the players tho. also they have monthly temporary avatars that you can purchase for in-game currency that are dirt cheap and can be...

    Leonin Scimitar is pretty much unplayably bad and costs half the mana. Rampant Growth is playable but not exactly exciting at half the mana and without an attack step. As for whether you should run the sword and the likely return of landfall, a wise man once said "you are allowed to put as many...

    I like alchemist's vial. Won't put it in my cube but a copy is going into the battle box.

    ALSO after having just said context is everything, I think Magmatic Insight is pretty bad. Cheap card draw is great for fixing mana screw and flood; this card is really bad if you are mana screwed (can't cast it at all if you draw it, high risk for low reward if you open with it) and it isn't...

    Context is everything. I mean if you a) cut efficient removal, b) don't support aggro, and c) try to jam a bunch of value-based themes into your cube, then a generic (if good) midrange 5 drop value fatty is probably going to look closer to overpowered. That doesn't mean the sky is falling and...

    I'd guess that it is much better in general than it was against my deck of all creatures that it can't block. Doesn't really seem too powerful, but yeah not really the most interesting card. It's good against a singular flyer/big creature and pretty poor against multiples of either. I guess it...

    Impressions on cards I played with or played against: Demonic Pact - obviously the best card in the set. Kothophed, Soul Hoarder - was good but mostly as a big flyer in sealed. Dunno if he will line up well in most cubes- he plays well with cheap removal but is also really bad against cheap...

    Demonic Pact has won me 3 games and the game I lost to the trigger was the game where I had zero cards in library left :<

    Demonic Pact gained me just enough life to not die to my own Kothoped triggers. I'm literally Liliana.

    I'd rather go full Flores (never go full Flores) and play Crucible of the Spirit Dragon if I wanted to break the control mirror. Quick list of cards I am looking currently interested in trying out from Moriginz: White- Kytheon/Gideon, Kytheon's Irregulars, Consul's Lieutenant, Vryn Wingmare...
