    General Steppe Lynx is a Terrible Magic Card or a different kind of aggro.

    I promise to read every word of these great posts later, but the first thing that hits me is: what makes Steppe Lynx a midrange card? I guess it works better with a higher land count, but it also can't block at all. I do agree that Steppe Lynx kind of makes Scythe Leopard look like a turd.

    I kind of feel like writing an article about the cube community. Kind of like the good old days when I spat fire and people loved and hated it.

    It's mostly that moderating requires effort, but then I cover it up with some bs about allowing freedom of expression.

    Never apologize for derailing. :) What do you like in Magic? That's a good starting point for the Luxor floor. Start with what excites you and build from there. To clarify: I do think Grillo's answer is appropriate, but also agree that there's room for us to elaborate and explore the...

    Oh, missed that it can only copy colorless. Whooopsie.

    I was going to type a response to B8R but I'd just be repeating what Grillo said.

    This is a good point. I not really experienced Innocent Blood backfiring first-hand much, but I'm sure the potential is there. That said, I do like when players have to sideboard thoughtfully based on the matchup.

    GBS

    Uh... I think 1-3 times a week. We just tidily delete them when we see them, they're fairly obvious. Didn't even see the domain, that's pretty funny. Seems like (based on the name) the type of dumb internet site that is filled with fake facts and doesn't get updated for 12 years.

    Article ChannelFireball: Grid Drafting and Tenchester

    Oh, the grid draft is different. All the VoDs seem to have disappeared (my bad), but basically I have an R script that creates a thread here on RiptideLab (see Forum Games subforum), and then we get on Skype and go through the packs. Not that fancy of a thing. Our data collection is pretty...

    James and I were literally talking about making this same list concept as a decklist.

    General Fight Club

    I'm not really a fan of Scion Summoner. I don't think the extra point of power warrants another mana on top of Nest Invader.

    The fact that you kept two of his Oyster cards?

    The Board Game Thread

    I think Avalon is the most fun to be had in the boardgaming world right now. I've played it with so many different groups and it's always been a "just one more game" play for hours hit, even with complete non-gamers.

    Because we needed new ways to make Skullclamp good. Wait, Outfitter makes it worse? I'm so confused.

    *SPOILERS* Star Wars: The Force Awaken

    How likely is it that Rey was abandoned on fake Tattoine to save her from people hunting down Jedi / people related to Skywalker? There's gotta be something to her background.
