    IMO the most fair way is making it delayed somehow- geddon is too punishing to decks that start slowly. "Until your next turn, at the beginning of each player's end step, they sacrifice each land they control" ? Or something. Prevents "geddon, land, pass" resets as well. A friend has a...

    Over the perfect fit, good lord. Only cards I have that are actually drawn-on were straight-up donated to me. Mostly signatures of donors, but some doodles as well.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I am probably the only person who does this, but I cut/alter cards that slow games down too much- jace's brainstorm, mirri's guile, top, and similar are real speed bumps to my tournaments, and I just don't feel enabling the minor skill-test of these cards is worth the massive time-sink it...

    Friends have called cyclonic rift "bounce house" since it bounces the whole house.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think renewal is more of a constructed card- the toughness clause is real awkward to make it work 100% of the time in the average cubelist. It's very powerful, obviously, but seldom is available to cast if you need to curve into it unless you're running a graveyard deck, and removal spells...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've actually gotten mixed results with it but eventually removed it for just not seeing play, despite it being pretty cool when it worked. If grinding out attack steps with tiny flying guys or recurring bros is legitimate in your list I'd give it a shot. I don't think it's really fair to...

    I tried as hard as I could to make that guy look good (Lightning mauler into him? Anyone?) but my players were just not having it- I cannot remember anyone else ever playing it the year it was in my list.

    General Best starter deck(s) you've seen?

    This is the biggest problem with bystanders- saying something like "Before you do anything else on your turn, untap all your stuff- lands, creatures, everything" and having someone clear their throat and "well ACTUALLY there are plenty of cards you DON'T untap" etc. etc. and they drag on. The...

    General Best starter deck(s) you've seen?

    I teach newbies to play all the time. I actually find it a lot easier when they don't have enough preconceived notions or enough game knowledge to want to play a specific deck (by name, no less) as their first. I'm not a writer like (apparently) most on this forum, but I've been working on a...

    I like it- she's vulnerable enough to stay out of the GRBS zone IMO. If I'm casting a 7-mana spell I want it to be great- fitting in multiple archetypes is a nice plus.

    Planning a Video Game Night (8-10 people)

    The problem with castle crashers/gauntlet/something is that they're pretty long and pretty grindy- I haven't played crashers in a long time but I remember it being a lot more time-consuming than actually difficult. Games like mario / r-type that "reset" the level when you screw up, and have...

    General The Card Art Thread

    I just like how the art credit is 'Rebecca "Don't Mess With Me" Guay' I've been slapping a google form together to both poll a bunch of different magic art across the internet and familiarize myself with the app. Some stuff I'm just skipping over for no real reason (sun titan) but I'm still...

    Planning a Video Game Night (8-10 people)

    The few times I attended this type of event they had similar stuff- team games, 1v1 games, and a casual "overall tournament" scoring system. They were fine, and your 8-10 people sounds closer to the right size than the 20ish we always had. Biggest problems were some games being a little...

    Sets [DTK] Dragons of Tarkir Spoilers Thread

    Did anyone else just kinda glaze over this card as janky? I'm re-reading the spoiler and it actually seems pretty cool. Mirror Mockery A sorta-narcolepsy that you can alternatively abuse your own ETBs with sounds like a fine this to test- removal with a wildly different mode is cool.

    These are my picks: Sidisi, Brood Tyrant Yasova Dragonclaw Dragonlord Silumgar Sidisi takes the BUG reigns from The Mimeoplasm quite easily, and while I daresay I'm a lot more supportive of 3-color decks than most here I just have to sit back and admire how big of a signal she is and how...
