Today I got a rando LinkedIn contact request from somebody whose job title is "Professional"

One of the categories was: "The next superhero duo: _____ and _____" I put "Robert Downey Jr." and "crippling debt", but the judge totally didn't get it and I felt mildly indignant.

But note that I play a very mana constrained environment, and value those cards above Counterspell in almost all of my decks.

I think it's fine but don't really see it as being more effective in tempo than something like Evasive Action, Miscalculation, Mana Leak, etc.

Yeah, I think the faster your environment is, the more Tumble Magnet gains over Icy. So many of our games come down to tempo, and being able to deploy and protect something like a PW on Turn 4 can make a huge difference.

Well, yeah, obviously. I won the unstated "write articles for ChannelFireball contest" to settle an argument with the entire MTGS boards. Appeals to authority are incredibly effective.

I went on a blind date a friend set up last night, and apparently it was board game night at the cafe she's a regular at so we went there and played Cards Against Humanity with a big group. It was my turn to judge, and the category was "______ will always get you laid." I flip through the...

Well, the best thing about Tumble Magnet was that it required no mana to activate, which was pretty important. I actually ran it until recently, and would say it's fairly cubeable. Far more palatable than Icy Manipulator, in my opinion.

UG Delver here we come.

Na na na na I 3 - 0d with Rotting Rats.... unearth rats, Gravecrawlers come back, sack to bobmbardments, gg

You're going to have to fix that for your next hitchhiking article... :)

Hmm... Hexmage is probably the cut here. I have too many :b::b: cards already. I like the design (in theory), but... Oh, this reminds me of the time I included Hex Parasite as part of a Trinket Mage package. Speaking of a card that never kills planeswalkers...

Am I the only one who gold borders around here?

Sol Ring is a stupid card that I might not even include in a Vintage cube. It ramps, whereas Moxen mostly just burst, if there's a difference to be appreciated.

Quick poll, how many people have actually seen Hexmage kill a planeswalker?

Yeah, I'm thinking like, three full sets of Moxen. Make it super Vintagey and interactive. I think there's potential.

Happy Spanksgiving! Here's to all the creepy uncles of the world.

Yerp. It's pretty cool.
