I have nothing against gaming (obviously), but one of the big downsides it has is that it holds very little value as social currency. This may change, but when I use other forms of entertainment (movies, TV, books), I feel that they enrich me more as a person. I can reference them in...

Somehow the people I end up liking the most are always either musicians or lawyers. Even my first highschool girlfriend I was really into ended up going to Harvard Law. I've always been a partitioner. I don't care if the girl has never touched a Meeple or a controller. I prefer to share...

I pretty intentionally avoid foils, but I do make a mild effort to obtain the original printing of a card when the cost is not prohibitively expensive.

Wait, we can post .gifs on the forum???

I have no idea what you're talking about, or how anything in that post gave Seattle women a bad name. I've never been attracted to anyone who self-identifies as a "gamer", and I don't really broadcast my proclivities either. I'm sure they can discover that with a cursory Google search, but...

You can ask Eric about setting up a domain. Buying one is cheap, like $15 for two years. The most expensive part about this site was the forum software.

I don't know what a BPD is. I'll address the rest later.

You know, I haven't really cried about the end of the relationship. It died in such a long slow decline that when we finally had "the talk" there weren't really any overwhelming emotions or fighting or anything. She broached the subject, and my response was the equivalent of "yeah, you're...

Make a case in terms of power level or in terms of good design?

I'm generally looking for pod decks to have more ETB effects (particularly 187s) and ridiculous value chains like Kitchen Finks -> Resto -> Reveillark -> Titan. Varolz and Zealous Conscripts are also great in pod, Huntmaster is insane, and blue cards like Brainstorm and Jace II end up being...

We demand dangerous hitchhiking for our reading pleasure!

I cut Mana Leak and run Evasive Action.

It's not your job to force players to play optimally. In fact, you should give players all sorts of chances for interesting suboptimality. This is where designing with textures come in. If your cube is filled with interesting effects that are context dependent and not strictly superior to one...

I agree with Goldenpineapple. I would also say that in the theoretical sense, I like the way that Gatecrash attempted to make milling more creature-based and interactive. The most powerful cube milling archetypes will be super non-interactive though. Sure, they can work, but I don't think it...

This could also be relevant to the discussion: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/mcd-primer-mill-you.74/#post-1321

In an alternate world Rich Hagon parodies himself during broadcasts: "Erectile whichfunction?"

Do you guys think we should have a separate subforum for non-Magic discussion?

Since when do people read stickies?
