    General Alter card trade gone wrong. What do I do?

    Honestly? Accept that you're down 30 kroner — you aren't getting them back, and it isn't reasonable for you to expect to get them back. She is absolutely correct that it's not the seller's responsibility to make up for any losses (or gains!) due to exchange rates. She has, after all, returned...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    And of course I was the one to bring up cubing with it... I have a problem, folks. ;)

    So, something that I just noticed... Writ of Return Because this doesn't target, you can cipher this onto the creature you reanimate. That seems pretty nice if your cube has hasty/evasive threats to reanimate.

    General Cubing at GenCon?

    Thanks for the definition (that makes quite a bit of sense)... but I was trying to point out that you never define the term in the rules. ;)

    General Cubing at GenCon?

    I just skimmed those rules, and there's a reference to "Bury" roles. What are those?

    The Video Game Thread

    I think it's because that's how roguelikes did it back in the day, and people are weirdly eager to carry design stuff forwards (see all of the card-based roguelites where you have exactly three energy every turn, because that's how much STS gives you.)

    The Video Game Thread

    True... I'm just a little salty that "we made procedurally-generated levels for our game, because we couldn't afford to hand-craft everything" has turned into a selling point, especially since it feels like that's the only thing that anyone ever uses procgen for (I know that's not literally...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I feel like it'd need a "non-token" clause.

    The Video Game Thread

    Sorry, it's like the one thing I'll yell at someone on the internet over. I have opinions about roguelikes, mostly as a result of how incredibly lazy most mainstream applications of procedural generation have been. If every game that people were saying had "roguelike elements" approached their...

    The Video Game Thread

    It's 100% not a roguelike¹. It lacks the all-important emphasis on randomness-driven system mastery, and instead focuses on... scenario mastery? I think that's the best way to phrase it? Basically, it gives you a big list of things you need to accomplish within its limited timeframe, and your...

    Yeah, Arcane Bombardment either wants you to have a slow environment or a deck dedicated to powering it out as early as possible.

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    I could see 1GE work for Exploring. I think it'd need a bit of playtesting — GE might end up being fine in your environment. As a name for the card. I'll admit that I was looking through the move lists for both Pokemon to see if there'd be a move that you could reference, and Helping Hand...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    Exploring feels really strong. Mechanized Growth, on the other hand, is perfect. As for the Eeveelution card... why not Helping Hand?

    General CBS

    So, who wants a cube with Vampire Tribal to be a thing? I basically threw this together this evening because my life has been hellish lately and I wanted a distraction. It probably doesn't have enough creatures and some of the cards are probably terrible in this particular format... but rest...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    My eyesight isn't particularly bad. It's my brain — I got a defective one, so my senses don't work properly. My eyes gloss over art something fierce.

    General Edict Effects in Cube

    @TrainmasterGT I think I have to disagree with the assertion that Standard was improved by War of the Spark and friends... but that might just be because I can't look at any of the top decks from ELD standard without vomiting in my mouth a little. I also have the suspicion that a lot of the...

    Sudden Death Cube (1 life)

    Sorry to double-post, but I just found the perfect removal spell for this format. :p Blazing Hope

    General Phoenix Tribal

    I feel like this is the kind of "archetype" where you'd be better off picking 2-3 cards and breaking singleton on each. The problem is that most Phoenixes were designed to be curve-toppers or synergy pieces for different archetypes. While you could build a deck that, for example, runs Flamewake...

    General Edict Effects in Cube

    I don't think Ward is the right comparison, really. Maybe if we were talking about death triggers/leave the battlefield triggers? I think it's generally better to look at ETBs as if the card was a Sorcery (or Instant, if the critter has Flash) that happens to make the appropriate token. Honey...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    That would require me to have eyes that work properly, sadly.
