Unblockable in Selesnya?

Chris, the difference is that the creature would still die EOT. So I don't know if the Torch Fiend parallel really holds. Like, if I play it I get a 4/1 sac EOT. Maybe that's terrible. You could still 2 for 1 if you got an attack in unblocked, but it seems to offer some interesting timing...

I am going to be completely honest and say that, although I have read EVERY word you have posted on this site, sometimes I don't know what to make of your arguments. The primary reason likely being that your rants tend to cover too much ground and focus on things like unifying theories, and you...

Have you read Sirlin's Yomi stuff? (theory, not game)

I think I just got negged by a woman:

Although if you did change that you might have to make the creature more powerful? I don't know if that design necessitates changing the stats. But if you didn't, the power would strictly decrease.

CML, don't you think those are separate issues? Like, I can feel that society should take car of its own while still feeling that individuals should take more ownership over their fate and their perils. I mean, we can debate over what counts as the "basic cable" of human existence, and it...

I like Sparkseal but kind of wish there were a design that had some more subtlety or finesse or choice to it. Great idea behind it but I wonder if there's not a way to tie the two parts of the card together more. What if you had to choose. When the creature dies, you lose the enchantment. When...

That would be one of the most broken one-drops ever, no? It swings through x/1's without blinking.

P.S. no room for Silverblade and Fabled Hero?

Thank god there's no more Hornet Queen. hate hate hate hate hate that card

As a side not I think the "nobody owes you shit" is a good mantra to live by in general. In job applications, games, romance, school. If things are sucking for you, it may be due to outside sources, but even so, the only way you can positively impact it is by changing you. Outsourcing the blame...

Yeah, I browse the OkCupid subreddit, and there's a fairly regular stream of butthurt guys angry at the female population for never responding to their messages.

And while we're on the subject, I was drinking with a couple younger cubers one night (hi Hannes), and they kept using the term "friendzone", which I found quite disheartening. Do we really need to have a term for the assigning of blame to women for the lack of a romantic attraction?

Okay, I'll bite. So I think there's a distinction to be made here between "teasing" and "negging", and while they may hold some surface similarities, I think they're pretty fundamentally different in nature. Negging treats the recipient as some sort of objective to be captured. When I make...

I also hope I never see the word "neg" used here again.

I'm not really a fan of terms like "fraud" here. If somebody wants to self-identify as something, I'm not going to question someone's "authenticity". Read the rest later.

I've got a bit of the reverse over here. In America people knew what my school was, but it's just outside of Ivy League, so in Europe nobody has no idea what it is.

Thanks Dom!

Yeah, that's a good distinction. I'm very grateful for the connections I have made through games over the years, but they have all been exclusively non-romantic. The closest I've gotten to that was an editor at MLG I would have considered asking out, had I not been married. And had she not lived...
