    General Hooks for Drafting Aggro

    This is a great topic. Personally I don't consider something like Figure of Destiny to be a hook for aggro, but recently re-added Koth because I felt I didn't have enough incentives for players to go the beatdown route. On a related note, if you envision X% of your environment being aggro...

    Article ChannelFireball: Grid Drafting and Tenchester

    Make 36 packs of 10. Give 6 to each player. Then each player takes their first pack (at the same time), picks one card and passes the pack to their right. (optional) When you get your pack back (from passing around the table), you may look at the remaining cards before discarding them. Then...

    General Cards missing from the MODO cube

    The MODO cube is complete again. I can't remember who it was, but somebody (whoever is CubeDruid on MODO) said they loaned up their own Nev Disk. This appears to not be the case: Nevinnyral's Disk 12/5/2015 -1 Traded away to ChrisKool 12/5/2015 1 Acquired in trade FROM ChrisKool 1/1/2016...

    Hey guys, I've been staying out of this conversation. I have a response typed up that I sent to Eric, but I'm holding off for now. That said, if anybody is concerned about the dialogue happening here, feel free to send me a PM. From what I can tell people are being civil, despite...

    If this launches I can probably draft and play a round, but I have friends coming over later in the evening so I'm a bit booked.

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    The issue is that regular duals grow at a much faster rate. Duals: 2 color: 1/10 3 color: 3/10 4: color: 6/10 Fetches: 2 color: 7/10 3 color: 9/10 4 color: 10/10 We're talking a 43% increase instead of a 500% increase.

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    I'm not actually talking about power creep at all. I just mean like, in the abstract, you create a game that provides tools to the players. Some of the tools are strictly superior to others. I see this as fine. There's always some cost to them. I'm not saying I like Chris' design, but the...

    I find this really curious. Why don't you want to have unconditionally better cards?

    I tried to stream Rocket League but my laptop couldn't really handle it. I guess I need to build a desktop for that sort of thing?

    So far I have not been very impressed by Narset, and I run 10000 Brainstorms. Still testing though, I am optimistic if only hopelessly.
