I hate the card so much that were I a famous Magic figurehead, people would send me copies of the card to sign. But unlike Rosewater, I wouldn't sign them and send them back. I'd just dump them into an industrial shredder, then take the remains and use them to line the bottom of my hamster cage...

Mark Rosewater : Hornet Sting :: Jason Waddell : _______ a) taxation without representation b) restrictions breed creativity c) seeded grapes d) Bow of Nylea

In the field of data visualization, standard practice is to take some awful plot that was published in some publication and just lampoon the shit out of it by breaking down in great detail all the ways in which it is patently terrible. If I ever taught an MTG Card Design course my first slide...

Of the five mechanical attributes of the card (ignoring the ridiculousness of it being a Legendary Enchantment Artifact), only one seems remotely bow like. Maybe you could make a case for deathtouch being bow-like, buuuuut. I could have this card in my cube for a decade, and every time my...

Like, this requires two posts. There is nothing about this card that is intuitive from a mechanical or flavor perspective. If you went back in time and posted an image of this card to a custom card forum you would be laughed out of town.

Bow of Nylea looks like it was made by a bad random card generator. Bow of Nylea

Avenger was not great in my cube, but I'd be far more enthused about Boon Satyr.

I think 3/1 First Strike for 1R would be too OP.

I legitimately forgot that place existed.

Mr. Waddell looks like many things to many people. See: old Facebook logo.

I'll say that, perhaps those are things are ideas that CML 2011 had, but they don't really come through in the book. I don't see anything that points to saying that Americans work too much. Privacy and surveillance? I'm not really sure where there's a loss of innocence either.

Cycling lands from the Utility Land Draft are pretty great with Loam too. I think the key is having a critical mass of cards that you want in your deck anyways. I've also had good success using Loam in midrange decks to make sure I just never run out of land drops.

Primal Command has been an integral part of many 3 - 0 decks over here. You all are missing out.

Utility Land Draft + Primeval Titan = ????

I dunno, my green decks are always trying to ramp to 5, where Cobra is a boss. Do you run Prime Time?

Tangle Wire is a fun and unique card without being oppressive. In my cube all the decks are very low CMC so it usually creates very interesting board states.

That sounds like way too much effort for a statistic that nobody but you will track. But whatever boils your spaghetti man.

I don't know about you fuckers, but I love me some Loam + Mox Diamond decks.

This is one of those formats that make me feel like a scrub, in the Sirlin definition of the word. Like, when I played it, it was really fun because we all sucked and were just scratching our heads and throwing like, Scavenging Oozes onto the table and casting Ancestral Recall every chance we...

I know you have rants on here about it, but one of the things we touched on was having the protagonist make progress while not making progress, how people don't really change. One piece of media that I thought handled this well was Season 1 of Lena Dunham's Girls. Lots of stuff happens, but you...
