Imagine designing chess today and try to sell it. Would be impossible. The game offers almost nothing by today’s standard. Yes the game is simple. As is Ludo and Monopoly. However it does have historic roots. Like the unmentionable fairy tale some people believe in. The best thing it has got...

It certainly shows something. I don’t agree that it shows that it is a superior game design.

That’s certainly a lot of words.. Maybe you misunderstand. What I meant was: Chess hasn’t been fun for me since I was a kid because when I was a kid I was playing the game like games are normally played, I dealt with the situation in strategic ways. However today I would have to think not only...

A game of chess is by default not a game using time control unless time control is added to the game. It’s like saying a game of Magic uses Commanders. It’s only true if Commander rules are added to the game.

Nah that’s not relevant. The game is solved and the person who knows the most moves, will always win if that person knows the same moved as the other person + some extra. That is because there is only one random element in the game and that element is a coin flip at the start of the game. The...

Yeah why did Gimli actually go? I can’t remember reading the reason(s).

Yeah.. I used to enjoy it when it was casual for me. You could outsmart or be outsmarted (never happened) But it is a ‘solved’ game. And it has so few components as well. It would be like Magic only had Alpha to play with. That would also be solved pretty quick.

If you want an X spell there is also Epiphany at the Drownyard

I see what you did there! :D https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Compleation

I mean..that’s what happens when you (Memnarch (Mirari)) create artificial life form. The result might grow in a way unheard of.

Okay, here.. have two ‘likes’

Perfect! :)

I am not sure if it is just me but I cannot get into ‘General Discussions’ because an ad is covering the bolded thread title. I have tried different things but I cannot remove it. (I can’t upload a picture to show because “The uploaded file is too large.”)

I prefer Hour of Revelation even though it is more texty. Directly connected to the story arc of the Inventor's Fair -> Planar Bridge -> Final Reward -> The Immortal Sun -> In Bolas's Clutches -> Interplanar Beacon -> Commence the Endgame -> Dreadhorde Invasion -> Command the Dreadhorde ->...

I run it and I like it. It doesn’t do much but it never really feels like an Un-card as well. It is just a simple card, always. I would not run it in a tight 360 cube though.

Yeah okay it might not be super powerful because it starts as a 1/1 and can only really be cast if opponent has more permanents to eat. Withdrawn! The rest of my point still stands. I don’t think it’s funny (and I did say that ‘I’ did not want to run it). And each upkeep will be daunting.

A card I would never run. It’s a joke that isn’t funny (haha you can regenerate it by eating food) but do you actually want a creature that can’t die? And the random effect will take forever because you have to assign a method every upkeep and perform that method. Finally the creature seems too...

Yes. I created exactly the same keyword in my first custom cube in 2012. Also named last strike. All the cards with last strike were a bit pushed but I ended up realizing they were all super bad. At 4/4 Extremely Slow Zombie would be decent enough in my opinion. But even then it could not...
