Very true! I guess it depends on design philophy because even though the card might have high enough power level for my cube, I will still not include it because I do not want to signals to the 8 players that they can go into a Pirate-route. Kind of the same way I feel about Mausoleum Wanderer...

I bet it's gonna feel reaaaaally slow. But also very rewarding if you get to transform it and go a bit long. I can't wait! :D

You have convinced me. I was wrong. I must even admit that Ascend seems a little interesting now. Perhaps I can find one Ascend card from RIX to try in my cube. However having multiples seems like a more interesting angle if the power level is adequate.

On a second (fifth) thought I will admit Sigh is right: There are ways to push Ascend strategies during game play. I do not see them as optimal if we’re calculating win-chances but there are ways to affect the outcome. I concede my point and Sigh wins.

So you’re going to run into a sweeper on purpose in order to give a creature flying? I might be stupid but I do not get it. Aggro decks usually play all their stuff as fast as possible in order to win before the opponent can stabilize. I did not intent to get under his skin. I asked him a...

Oh okay so the suggestion is to simply do as follows: “I wouldn't go so far as to say you can't do anything about it during play though... you can play more permanents!” ? So you are going to solve the Ascend mechanic issue by simply playing more permanents than you have? Or you want to...

I wouldn’t say that either. In fact I just said you could change your deck building strategy in order to try and make it work ;) May I charge you with the assignment to test Ascend? Not only to see how likely you are to complete the 10-permanent-task but also how rewarding it is?

That's very true. However I feel like you might misunderstand what I meant with the 'surprise' element. That's my fault because the guilt is always on the messenger end and not on the receiving end. With surprise I meant "Hey! I just drew a permanent! Great man, lucky me." Doesn't it have the...

Well on the other hand you also sometimes cannot attack because you have 8 permanents and are waiting for the last two permanents. To me some of the Ascend cards look a little like the Miracle keyword. You can’t force the effect or help it with anything but deck building (which is half of any...

Your story lines up ;) I will hereby grant you at least 30 % of the royalty-revenues! ;)

Peter LaCara is gonna go SO crazy when he sees that mana cost on Jadelight Ranger

Hey that's my idea :) A friend of mine (Emil Sarauw) and I talked about the die roll issue and then it just hit me. I introduced the Fantasy Cube group to the seating-cards the following tournament which is a little less than two years ago. Vince was present the first time I showed the cards...

Dear Taamas I just now realized (as I posted my AskUrza on forum) that the AskUrza app changes visual design whenever you make the window smaller or larger. Is there anything we can do about this?

(Sorry for long spam text incoming!) So this is for anyone interested. Below you will see my exact AskUrza abilities as I have them on my AskUrza app created by our very own Taamas. You do not have to copy mine and I am not trying to prove that my AskUrza is better than anyone else's. Here it...

Me neither. In all honesty it doesn't matter much but having the stats be high makes sense from a flavor perspective and thus looks 'good' on the card. And giving it indestructible must be a lore-decision. So it's very, very fine and I like the design. I'm sorry if my post sounded like...

I think he was referring to 8 toughness and indestructible kinda hurts the eyes of a great designer.

It’s perfect. Lore: Cool name, art and flavor text. Power: Strong enough to warrant a place in aggro or midrange decks even without an enemy permanent to remove. Not so strong that it’s pure good stuff and goes into any green deck. I love it.

Is there any way to upload videos on Riptide?

All suggestions you guys have written above is possible within the program as it is now if you are willing to do the legwork (find all the abilities and write them into the program) I have taken all existing Planeswalker abilities* and added them. All of the + and - abilities are ‘Choose One’s...

The app comes with a single folder. In there you find a very easy to read text file with all the information. The app comes with exactly the abilities that the real AskUrza comes with but it is very easy to change those. You can write whatever you want in there. Even add many more abilities...
