    Time for a good 'ol fashion grump-off.

    General MM2 is amazing, says man who hasn't played with it

    Hey CML, for the "card reviews" are we supposed to know which card it is? I can usually figure it out (Blood Artist, Stoneforge Mystic), but it might be easier on the reader to have it listed explicitly? I was pretty lost at the intro until I found my bearings.

    General The Pro Tour Sucks

    I read the first book and couldn't get into it, then jumped into Season 2 of GoT and had a blast.

    General The Pro Tour Sucks

    Yeah, Community. Britta is protesting something dumb an non-controversial like an oil spill.

    General The Pro Tour Sucks

    Well, the main contrast is there are people in the community that are far less whiny, in either direction of the earning spectrum. Nobody has ever sold competitive Smash as an "advisable career choice", so...

    General Judging the Judges, Pt. 1

    Just a word of warning, asking people to vote on content is against some reddit rules, and can get your content banned. As usual, the comment section is immensely entertaining.

    General The Pro Tour Sucks

    Yeah, this was a big talking point in the Smash reddit the other day. It's actually a really awful article, based on some terrible quotes by the most annoying person in the Smash community. Smash players don't make much, no, but much of his public persona comes across as being really whiny...

    Card/Deck Multipost

    When we did that, it introduced a weird hate draft dynamic that wasn't really fun. Better to have them packaged as two picks than open up the possibility for someone to randomly hate you off the deck.

    Card/Deck Multipost

    3/3 was too strong, and 4/4 would be outrageously good I think. I use the past tense because I haven't run my cube in a long time, not because I took them out.

    Card/Deck Multipost

    My final package was 3-Cloud, 2-Glimmer. That felt about right for a 40-card deck.

    General Do finishers have to be so boring?

    Would you consider the Sidsi deck to be "control" though?

    General Do finishers have to be so boring?

    This is a callback to our first ever Riptide thread, back in the Google group era: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/riptide-laboratory/FAmmz5r5d50 Prompted by the discussion in the three-color card thread: My original question was: To update it: are there finishers that...

    General Drafting with 4 players

    The same thing should work with 12 packs per player, instead of 9. You still get 36 picks, taking one from each pack and discarding the remaining ones.

    Card/Deck Three Colour Cards in Cube

    Not only is it narrow in effect, it is narrow in terms of color requirements. I can't imagine a reasonable cube that wants this card.

    Card/Deck Three Colour Cards in Cube

    Man, if only we had a thread for discussing Utility Land Draft stuff. Oh, wait, I found it. Here.

    General Winnowing? aka Gatherer is still broken

    For all the years I have played Magic, Gatherer hasn't worked correctly. Set a query and tell it to "sort by user rating", and it never sorts it. You have to let it do the query, then re-sort it after that.

    Card/Deck Three Colour Cards in Cube

    Yeah, I don't think it's a bad starting point. Everybody's natural inclination seems to be to overload gold. I remember painfully cutting to 6 gold cards per guild at one point, before making the adjustment to 3 per guild.
