Which is, if you're familiar with both games, damning with faint praise. (Eclipse Phase is a game with a great pitch that has crappy mechanics and some pretty bad setting writing. So... most RPGs, really.)

I'm reminded of how, back in the day, there were two RPGs that were both published by the same company - CthulhuTech and Eclipse Phase. The devs for CthulhuTech were always very salty about the fact that Eclipse Phase outsold their game... despite the fact that EP's author literally let you...

Behold, true love! Seasoned Pyromancer Mandatory Friendship Shackles Fable of the Mirror-Breaker Reflection of Kiki-Jiki (The shackles aren't actually necessary. I just had to give them friendship bracelets.)

To distract us from our bitching about Magic... How imbalanced would this be, a priori? 1. One player has 40 cards and no life total. They win the game if they reduce their opponent to 0 life. 2. The other player has 44 cards (a normal 40 + a playset of Hedron Alignment). They win the game if...

Those two cards are of such wildly differing power levels its not even funny. Seasoned Pyromancer is really good. My suggestion? Tilonalli's Summoner (shut up it's a pet card)

Here's the thing... if people are buying them as an investment thing, how many of those packs are actually gonna get cracked? Especially since there's a very good chance that the contents of that pack are worth less than what people paid for them. It's depressingly likely that people are going...

I would honestly love it if we got more Strixhaven Archive-esque art for spells. Like, it's all well-and-good to have representational art for permanents, but I like the art for spells (and enchantments) being a little more abstract.

I'm not sure I agree with you on Burmak (not to my tastes, really), but I am glad that Wizards have started to commission artists with distinctive styles again. I would replace her on that list with the other Guay, though. Change of Fortune|VOW Demonic Bargain|VOW Lethal Exploit Impulse|DMU

I like Faldorn + Conspiracy Theorist, though I could honestly lean either way on the two-drops depending on how often you think Channeler's "4/4 for 1R" mode will be active.

I would love to contribute to this thread, but I lean too heavily on twisting the rules for my cube (and I'm also generally pretty bad at "decks not cards" design...). Like, you couldn't steal any of the my loose archetypes from the Capitalism Cube, because a lot of them rely on the fact that...

I don't believe you, blacksmithy! Surely proxies must cost roughly $15 per card to make? Otherwise, why would this fine product exist?

Honestly, that's the galling thing. I'd love to do a paper draft or a sealed pool with the honest-to-god Beta card pool, and I sincerely doubt that I'm the only one. If they had priced these things like normal packs, they'd probably sell like hotcakes. If this product sells well, it's going to...

The sweet thing about this pair is that Mishra's the only one that actually has to survive — Unearth means that you can continually threaten a swing from one of the Timmiest creatures ever. It's wild to me that it's going to be possible to curve T3 Liliana (pitching Phyrexian Dragon Engine), T4...

What's pissing me off is that this is probably going to sell out. This is the kind of product that needs to fail, because it sets precedent for much they can charge for literal garbage.

In my defense, it was 5am when I posted that. No, I don't wake up early. Insomnia is a jerk.

On a slightly different note... here are my favorite bounce spells that aren't just Unsummon (or Unsummon+cantrip). Familiar's Ruse Withdraw Release to the Wind Baral's Expertise Familiar's Ruse is probably my favorite "bad Counterspell", since it's actually Counterspell with an upside if you...

They're so expensive because I own all of them. Sorry.

This is part of the reason why I specified that the duals would be check/slow. If you draft a Rootbound Crag, suddenly Forests and Mountains are higher picks. If you draft a Shattered Sanctum, any basic becomes a higher pick. If you didn't see any duals, you're generally just going to draft...

Do it! Absolutely nothing will go wrong!
