Just be patient. We didn't get to 31000 posts on accident! Oh, what's that, we haven't gotten there?

Due to a weird shipping error I'll be buying Smash 4 from a Dutch colleague tomorrow at a deep discount. It'll be a birthday present to myself.

I had avoided actually looking at this thread until today, and this is the first post I saw. Good times RipLab.

Inspired by a conversation with Hannes. Let's talk about dumb restrictions for formats. Maybe one of them will turn out to be good and interesting. First up: Every creature is a 2/2. And for some reason the most prevalent removal are Pyroclasms. Like dozens of them. Curse of Death's Hold is...

A lot of those things are in fact weird, Jason Derulo.

I've only played it very briefly, I don't know, the magic isn't there. I will say it's pretty terrible to watch. To me the Smash series will always have Melee (and to a lesser extent 64) looming over it. I played Melee a few weeks ago with a friend, and the game still exists, and I still have a...

Strange, Vault of the Archangel has never been that strong over here. Wonder what the differences are attributed to.

Is the 3DS worth owning yet? What games do you guys actually like on it? Also, I've been wanting an Xbox One, vaguely, but the only game I really really want (Master Chief Collection) is borked as fuck, by all accounts.

I gotta say, the Wii U is much better than I thought it would be. Mario Kart 8 is the best racing Mario Kart experience ever. The controls are tight and the boost system feels natural and rewarding. Online play is fun and painless, the only downside would be the lack of a proper battle-mode...

By that metric most of my socializing is pointless.

In what ways, specifically, does this honor me?

I read The First 15 Lives of Harry August and it was pretty enjoyable. It's a book about some dude who gets reborn at the start of his life after he dies each time, with all his memories intact. Normally I'm all up in a book's business about plot holes and stupid tropes, but this one was solid.

On a corporate level they'd seek to create a draft format that maximizes replayability. I'd imagine more variance correlates to more plays, so long as you don't exceed your player base's frustration tolerance. I don't know.

I find that Reddit is great for sorting out the "best comment", but I hardly ever find it conducive to actual debate and productive discussion.

I think Geist is a great design that becomes dumb with sufficiently powerful and plentiful pants. Aggro in a way that feels very blue-white without really having precedent in those colors.

+1 for Confidant, it's great here. And supports Lifegain!

Whenever I ran this I wished it was another card in my hand.

I like Gideon, but maybe most people don't live in a world that need those sorts of anti-aggro measures.

Okay, I will admit I haven't really looked at the latest visual spoiler. One of my biggest problems with the archetype was that there wasn't sufficient diversity of lifegain effects outside of the 2CMC slot. Probably what we needed was to have enough incidental gain to let pridemates be a 2x...

Yeah, I didn't expect it to be as fun as it was. I started with 3 and was just like "what if there were more?". People take them highly and in diverse deck types, and usually they get spread out among 4 drafters, which isn't something that could ever be said about Crawler or Pod. Also they have...
