I'd consider Shriekmaw to be more of a Doom Blade. Well, when I ran two of them, I classified one as a 2-drop and one as a 5-drop, but I'd most likely "file" it under the 2-mana spell category.

If you don't get out of it it just keeps going, basically til death-ish.

Both players agree not to chain-grab (grab the opponent, throw them, grab them again) each other. It's a much more skill-testing and entertaining matchup without it being nonstop chaingrabs.

Yeah, I saw the Ken v Westballz set on YouTube. It's like 3:30 of actual gameplay across two games, and Westballz looked uncharacteristically sloppy. Ken, to his credit, played a pretty tight set, punished well and set up several really nice Ken combos.

It's awful. I have a friend who wants to always use it. Whenever he drafts against me I let him just put it into his deck for free (it's not in the cube), and when he plays against me I let him put it in his opening hand every time, and it still seems awful.

Here is a conversation I had with Tafo on the topic: His response: Here's the Westballz set: https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/3da5ny/a_silly_set_tempo_westballz_vs_shinobi_at_wtfox/

I am most satisfied with a loss when I walk away thinking "I wish I had done this differently".

Armada's recent character switch is "bad for the game". People, even people who don't play Melee competitively, know that Fox is the best player, and when you have WF Fox Ditto Mango - Leffen, LF Fox Ditto Mango - Armada, GF Fox Ditto Armada - Leffen I think it's bad for that appeal of the game...

I think you guys are kind of misunderstanding this guy. I've emailed him several times. He's very like... he goes to the beat of his own drum. The B and C cubes aren't actual cubes like you guys think about it, but just piles of cards that people can use for deckbuilding. Think the "utility...

Reject rares might not have a legendary in them.

You gotta let the Melee flow through you.

I feel like we're all going to be quoted and made fun of on some EDH-dedicated forum.

Mmm, let's make more unfounded statements about EDH.

Are you an actual Leffen fan? I think competitive Melee is interesting, because I watch hours and hours of it every week, but I don't really have strong favoritism as a fan, like I do when I watch other games / sports. Armada winning wouldn't be a very compelling story line to me,but a Leffen /...

I was hoping that, in his explanation of the game, he would also try to sell me on the concept a bit. But I have made a habit of intentionally not Googling things on here, if nothing else but as a measure to drive the post count up.

Man, so many things have to go correctly for that card to be worthwhile. +1/+1 is fairly negligible, and you have to spend 4 mana for the first cast + equip. Also, there is a fairly small intersection between decks that want to attack a lot and decks that want to ramp. I think in general...

I hate all of you.

You're going to have to expand that acronym.

Get it? Single Card Spotlight? It's a Single Card and a Spotlight? Oh what's that, you got it and still don't think it's funny? Thanks meatwad.

I am a legitimate statistician but I can't be arsed to make these probability calculations, even though it would take so, so little time. I like giving vague estimations and having Zeeboot confirm them.
