So... Why is the idea of someone spending $5K foiling out an EDH deck horrifying? Why is it obvious that all personal discretionary spending is on a sliding scale of immorality? I'm not well versed in either side of the pro- or anti-capitalist debate, but to me that sounds like an extreme thing...

Capitalism certainly has its downsides, but since I'm already rolling my eyes at the "economic inequality is a crime" part, I think it's safe to say that your thoughtful post is enough of a synopsis to not make want to read the article.

Does this mean I can skip the 7500+ word angry rant?

Oh good, much better then :) It's hard to read context over the interwebs ;)

That's... a bit passive aggressive, isn't it? You've never struck me as abrasive online, quite the opposite really, what's up with that remark? Now I'm wondering group dynamics and how the rest of the team reacted to that remark.

I've drafted two mono blue decks already in Dominaria (vs AI), and I think the 1/1 statline on Artificer's Assistant is misleading. In a dedicated deck, you can scry 1 almost every turn, and that's actually a fairly strong effect, as Contraband Kingpin has shown us. Meanwhile, it does chip in...

I've gone from two, to one, to none. Delver is often a trap, and as an anchor for the spells matter archetype, it's one of the least interesting ones, and completely out of blue's comfort zone as well.

You two should play games with nothing on the line more often :')

Step 1. Open a golden Darius Crowley. Step 2. Dust it and craft Baku. Step 3. ??? Step 4. Profit! Also... Fair enough, nott every card is for everyone. I actually like Darius, and despite Jason's misgivings, I think he could see play as is. Maybe I'ld initially want to test him at 3/3 just to...

So... Blame Chris for this batch. I went through a few Hearthstone sets to see if there was something worth stealing for our cubes...

Meh, wither also lowers attack. There isn't really a good analogy in MtG for how damage is handled in Hearthstone.

This is going to be the best thing in a while :D

Definitely a build around me type of card. Gets better if you have library manipulation (Brainstorm, Sensei's Divining Top). To answer your question though, one ;) Edit: I did probably make it a bit too fragile, cutting 3 health was probably a bit too drastic. It's harder to trigger for sure...

I'ld totally draft Dollmaster Dorian <3 Darius seems a bit pushed with its Hearthstone stats, honestly. I shaved off 3 health on most of the other minions, because health works differently in Magic (and all of those cards would be silly with +3 toughness), but a 4/1 Darius would be pretty...

I'm curious for Tempostorm's meta snapshot coming Monday. I'm seeing a lot of warlock (cubelock and zoo mostly), paladin (dude and odd), and warrior (specifically odd fireplume warrior). I think the best even deck is warlock, but cubelock is still so powerful there isn't much of an incentive to...

Yeah, here's someone opening packs proving just that: Edit: You have to wait for the sixth booster, but there is actually one where none of the uncommons are legendary, and the rare (*cough* mythic *cough*) is. I did notice all of the other five boosters had exactly one legendary creature...

I really wonder how they are going to implement the "at least 1 legendary creature in every booster pack", since historically these gimmicks have replaced a common or basic land card (see dfc's in Shadows over Innistrad and mana fixing in Fates Reforged). I did some drafts vs AI under the very...

The Priest did! It narrowly edged out Shadow Servant: http://riptidelab.com/forum/search/1929642/?q=CFB+Design+Contest&o=date&c[title_only]=1&c[node]=5

Yeah, that's true. I like Guldan because he's one of the ways you can keep up (and come back from behind). I run him in an Even Warlock build that's fun to play. The demons it can get back are the 2/4 taunt, the 4/4 hooked horror, and the 6/6 that deals 1 damage to everything else as a...

True, but at least they need to get to 10 in a deck that's full of self-damaging effects. It was always a race. Now Lackey or the Legendary weapon puts a 3/9 taunt on the battlefield that turns into three 1/3 taunts if you manage to kill it. If you don't, congratulations, they play cube on the...
