    Yeah, of all the ideas here, adoption of the forum sig may be the most successful. People on MTGS are already uh... in the Magic forum demo, and if they see quality posters all repping the sig maybe that generates interest.

    I wonder what the player psychology behind "fuck you" spells is.

    The Music Thread

    This has become my go-to to listen to while doing programming / reading, so I've heard this song several hundred times by now. Then I listened to the rest of his catalog and wasn't really into the other stuff. Strange.

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    One of my 4-man ideas was to do something like 6 packs, but after each pick you shuffle and randomly remove one card from the pack. Then you all draft ~45 cards while still seeing 360 cards. It's not perfect, but maybe pointing in that direction might yield results?

    General Does Anyone Actually like Traditional Black Aggro?

    Regardless, I don't think that having aggro only represented in two primary colors is ideal for a number of reasons. I have been much more satisfied with aggro and control each spread around the colors, versus other cube configurations where red is virtually 100% aggro and some colors are like...

    General Does Anyone Actually like Traditional Black Aggro?

    The most pleasing feedback I've gotten on the various Gravecrawler archetypes is that they are really challenging to play against. It's like an evolving puzzle you have to solve, but you always have some tools.

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    Yeah, I've been known to say that even 6-man drafting is significantly worse than 8-man drafting. I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about 4-man drafts because I haven't done one in years. The last time we had 4 (a year ago?) we busted out Team Sealed of the Eldrazi Domain cube.

    General Does Anyone Actually like Traditional Black Aggro?

    Sweetest card of the new Gravecrawler archetype: Innocent Blood Unique removal that both hardcore aggro and control want? Check and mate. Last 8-man a player beat a Deathrite Shaman -> T2 Geist of Saint Traft opening via Innocent Blood + Snapcaster Innocent Blood.

    I will say, I spent like, the first 20 minutes of the movie trying to remember the lead actress' name. "Uh, oh shit, I know it's not Julia Roberts. What's the other one called... ugh... oh Sandra Bullock" "Wait, the While You Were Sleeping one or the Pretty Woman one? No, her mouth isn't...

    I thought it was one of the most visually impressive movies ever, even if the plot was pretty straightforward and predictable. Fun way to spend an evening in my opinion.

    I hate everything you like

    Fighting games are so cool to watch when you know the egos at play. They're so goddamn mind-gamey and personal, like, when somebody wins, they didn't play abstractly play better, they beat some very specific chump. In shooters people play mostly with a disregard for their opponents. For this...

    Card/Deck Bonfire of the Damned

    Hmm... this is making me a little more tempted to push a Miracle subtheme. But isn't Reforge the Soul kind of, you know, awful? I've even cut Wheel of Fortune from my cube at this point.

    General What are the failings of the MTG cardpool?

    I love Oracle of Mul Daya but wish it were pushed just a weeee bit further. Cost 3? Some real P/T? The effect is neat, but oh so flimsy at 4 mana.
