    As long as one of the tags is Tempo, and we can have a 4 page discussion on how to define it, I'm down.

    I'm up to about half-way, really enjoying it so far even though i've had what's up by 4 nonblondes stuck in my head all week.

    General Is this a deck?

    Trained Condor might be a miss but I think some people have or do run Abzan Falconer and +1/+1 counters theme to some success.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Yeah a lot of the time Fastbond is just going to be Summer Bloom that costs you a couple of life. You need to combine it with something like Life from the Loam, Crucible of Worlds, Courser of Kruphix or Gush for it to be insane. I've run it for a while and it often goes pretty late.

    Frank Karsten did a similar article for Modern: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/frank-analysis-tips-and-tricks-for-modern/ He's really good at highlighting niche situations that are pretty cool. Bouncing a mountain with Valakut triggers on the stack from Scapeshift is my favourite.

    Moxen as commons doesn't make any sense. They should replace the basic land box!

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    Probably something a bit more aggro-friendly, either painlands or Scars of Mirrodin lands e: or a whole cycle of Horizon Canopies, that card is sweet.

    General Fighting Disappointment: Lets fix some cards that were almost sweet

    Just thinking about it this morning: converge means moving towards a single point. Surely the mechanic asking you to spend mana of different colours should be called diverge?

    I played a deck in standard once which killed with Gravecrawler/Rooftop Storm/Burning Vengeance/Sac Outlet.

    Found the original of this here. I guess CFB are just rehosting BTP posts now?!

    General I just play it for the flavour text, I swear!

    I have a soft spot for Jaya Ballard Incinerate Inferno Sizzle (Incinerate is my particular favourite. E: the autocard gives the wrong picture :( ) Also I can't not mention this guy Werebear

    The Board Game Thread

    This is what I did before I bought it, and it's still great. I hadn't realised just how many words the game comes with - it's like 400 or something. If there's some interest I'll do a forum game down in the games area.

    General Post your 1-2 and 2-1 decklists

    Yeah but it was called the legacy cube because it adhered to the legacy banned list, rather than having any playstyle relationship to the format.

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    I read this the other day and I thought I had been linked from here, but apparently not. Here's the Great Designer Search entry where the competitor, Jon Loucks previously of Limited Resources, makes this exact mechanic almost five years ago and it is almost universally poorly received...

    It seems bizarre they would introduce something this impactful - the "sixth colour" - in a small set.

    General Tavish Draft

    I want to find someone else as insane as me to do a full 8 person team rotisserie draft, except each team is just one person and they have to draft 4 decks each. Alternatively, 1v1 team rochester draft.
