I am addicted to French electropop today:

I know the Young Pyromancer write-up was a little lacking, and in retrospect maybe it seems like an obvious suggestion, but I had never thought of it, and it's the one I think I am most likely to include from this contest.

Ugh, the worst part of living in Belgium is having to abandon my usual gamut of cultural references. I had a line that would have been perfectly completed by the phrase "how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootise Roll Pop", but the Belgos have never heard of that commercial.

We had a frontpage article written on the topic a while back: http://riptidelab.com/live-big-live-heroic/

I do snaking with 4 picks. Something I realized when doing 15-card decks is that the diversity and focus of my decks dramatically increased. I could pull off super powerful Delver decks. I could go all in on weird interactions. I believe that as you increase deck size you more greatly...

Last draft a player committed so hard to the "take all the fixing" route I had to play a *gasp* two-color deck.

I figured something out for that bit, but required a different setup.

Out of curiosity, has anybody ever pulled off the Vedalken Shackles + Sac Outlet deck?

Apprentice might be playable without a mana activation cost.

Anybody play this bad mutha?

If only this guy were a zombie...

I already run both of these though.

Imagine that you assigned point values to each land. The highest one being 100 (or whatever), and the next 80, then 75, whatever. The lands do not all have equal value. The players will start by taking the most valuable lands, and eventually the value will kind of level off. By giving somebody...

Eric I think that's bad, I would hate to be player I. The average may be the same in pick index, but not in average pick value, which is a function of the value of the distribution of power level in your draft pool. Statistically speaking, this is a bad idea.

I've been thinking about bringing Tezzeret, Agent of Balls back in, to bring in competing demand for lifegain enabler, Vault Skirge.

Are there ways to abuse that here? One issue with these unique build-arounds is that they're really not worth building around unless you have multiple copies, since you can't rely on having access. I feel like you need a suite of overlapping effects to obtain it, or a card that is flexible...

Snake is the only acceptable answer.

Maybe take the discussion over to your thread?

Part of my problem with blue is that, many of the themes I design don't have much design space into blue. Blue is the least important color in the Zombie / Birthing Pod suite, and doesn't really have any connection to the lifegain package. How can we connect it to other colors in interesting...

Is that the goal? Isn't it aggro < midrange < control < disruptive aggro < aggro ? Um, are there any like, blue prison decks we can build? How many tops and brainstorms does one need to pull off Counterbalance? That's a stupid idea, right? What are ways that blue control has been interesting...
