Yeah, it's cool, I don't expect most people here to care about Candy Crush, but thanks for taking a look nonetheless. :)

Kind of hate Wall of Reverence

Also I like how all your comments were from the first sentence of the article :p

Yeah, although there were lots of parts we predicted. Reflektor is growing on me. I actually liked it less than their other albums when I first heard it, but I've given it a listen through a half dozen times now and I'm coming around. It doesn't have any tracks that are as amazing (in my...

The upside to pod is a) there are a half-dozen variants to it (at least) b) Pod decks aren't so far from "regular" decks, and it's easy to audible into something else.

Yo CML you got some comments: http://riptidelab.com/bottom-eight-worst-modern-cards-by-price/#comments :)

I mean, it doesn't have to be just errata of existing cards. But I think the reward is there if you're willing to experiment. I'd rather try and go through some headache than go through the same disjointed pile that constitutes the "storm archetype" in most cubes.

There are so many good playable hybrids now (thanks RTR block) that you don't even need Borderposts. Burning Tree Emissary into Jund Hackblade is a real thing. Deathrite Shaman into whatever, hell, pick any of the RTR hybrid 1-drops and you're pretty golden. But maybe not Slitherhead...

Yeah, the old discussion was in the distinction between blue tempo and blue aggro. Show me a constructed blue deck you would consider to be aggro? I've 3 - 0'd with many blueish attacking decks. Just jam 3-power fliers until your curve is complete.

If I were proxying Storm cards I would make cards with an utter disregard to the existence of constructed environments, and go for more of like "value storm" type of things. Like, sure, Grapeshot doing 2 (or, hell, 3) damage would be bad for constructed, but could make for better design space...

I don't know if it works here, but in my Eldrazi cube I paired the ____blade Alara Reborn creatures with hybrid cards to great effect. Maybe that could work here?

What I meant was that the fixing was so poor in the MODO cube that the risk/reward you normally face (consistency of monocolor versus added card quality of multicolor decks) was totally out of line and converged on the boundary of the decision space (almost always go mono-red). The problem you...

I'm really happy I don't have a substantial amount of funds invested in a MODO collection.

I think perhaps a larger question is how do you properly balance the tension between promoting monocolored stuff and multicolored decks. What gradients exist between the two? I always considered the existence of the "monored" archetype to be one of the failings of the MTGO cube, and have harped...

Mask of Memory seems kind of marginal if you only trigger it once. And that's not necessarily given. But if you're attacking them and connecting, then... win more... better to just play another creature... hmm.... I've never play it but it seems pretty iffy. I could imagine being wrong though.

Also, that article already has 250+ Facebook likes. I'm not sure what to think of that.

Man that's a lot of jargon.

Somebody who has actually played Theros, does Devotion play well as a mechanic? Does it lend to interesting decisions?

Gideon loses all the time, bit that's mostly a function of pur insane aggro decks. Vorapede is boring but get back to me after you pod one into a grave titan.
