    General How to make red aggro more fun

    Well, I don't know if you've seen the "Squadron Build-Arounds" thread, but there are some ideas being discussed there. I'm not really wild about the packages. I think there's another issue at work here though. Sure, you can get goblins to "work" power level wise, but I feel like you'll just...

    General How to make red aggro more fun

    Isn't that kind of Wizards' approach to the goblin tribe though? Every constructed Goblins deck I have ever seen is just a pile of shit cards that somehow work via critical mass.

    Hey man, multicolor decks are sweet and we get ones that are full of synergy and not just "good cards". Don't hate. :)

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I haven't really seen it in too much action, it was super strong in Eldrazi Domain though. Uh... let's theorycraft it? If this was 3-mana for a 3/3 flier we'd be almost there. Gold is problematic, but, you know. If you trigger this even once you're probably rolling in value town. Obviously...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    I mean, this is all well and good in the abstract, but given cards in hand of varying value I've had to actually make this decision many times. Cast a 2-drop and fetch a shock with my third land? Cast the 3-drop and take the damage? Cast the 3 via dual and risk not being able to cast some...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    I think you guys are being too hard on Duals. 1) You actually have to draft them. That is an inherent (and very real) opportunity cost. 2) Let's say you have a multicolor deck of duals and shocks. Sometimes you have to make a choice about which to fetch and there can be an interesting tension...

    Possibly dumb idea: to compensate for added lifegain, replace dual lands with shocklands?

    General Say hello!

    If I recall I couldn't get him to agree to a time slot, so the interview was just a crappy list of questions I sent him via email regarding a scene that I no longer followed. "Fake it til you make it" was my approach to a lot of MLG content. There was one time I did an interview for Gears of...

    General Say hello!

    Yeah, but... M2K always seemed like a good player but I can't even remotely be considered a fan of his personality. Ugh, MLG's site is borked to shit and misattributes authors to the editors, but if you want to read a terrible interview I did with him once...

    Since when did you ever peg me as a fan of Naya decks?

    Card/Deck Bloodghast

    I dunno, my regular practice partner at the time played Vampires and I usually just didn't care about Highborn. It was super beatable.

    Card/Deck Bloodghast

    Just so you guys know, you're no longer allowed to discuss Bloodghast in this thread. This thread is now about terrible "TfK" card names.

    The Music Thread

    I don't know why I like this song so much. Is it the lyrics that are reminiscent of the drivel that would play on Austin orthodontist-lobby secretary rock station Magic 95.5? The redundant chorus? The groovy synthesizer work? The various remixes?

    I hate everything you like

    I'm okay with knowing that I will never find out whether it holds up. Hell, I don't even know who I gave my Playstation away to or even when. I have an Xbox 360 here in Belgium, but no TV, so these days I just don't play video games.

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    If I added Stormbreath, I would run it and Zealous as my only red 5's.

    I hate everything you like

    Also, I feel the inflection point on me becoming older was when I stopped wanting games to last a really long time. I have no tolerance for BS anymore, and the idea of a game that can be beaten "quickly" in 40 hours is a nightmare to me.

    I hate everything you like

    I never never never pay attention to video game plots and am always the guy to skip cutscenes, but FF10 is the only game whose plot I actually followed and, at least at that age, I found it really enjoyable.

    That deck would be better if Blighted Agent had Hexproof. Get on it Wizards!

    General Say hello!

    Hey Felix, welcome! Yes, I could talk 2006-era Melee all day long. Watching Ken get dethroned and the competitive field blown wide open was amazing, but probably not as amazing as sitting around in hotel rooms playing 2v2s with the pros when the official tournament action was said and done for...
