I could see the card as a one or two of in aggro strategies since land flood is a huge issue and they can operate on 2-3 mana. Of course, Hammer of Purphoros might be better. Edit: The card might have modern implications for burn. Also are there any decks that can reliably cheat lands into...

The card designed by Notch seems really good for aggro strategies as a one or two of. Flooding out? No problem draw seven cards by the time your next turn rolls around (2 on end step, two on their turn, draw step, then two in main phase). Of course the downside is very real.

WotC, especially over the last year, has ensured that running pretty much any event on MODO is not worth it. I think the only events that are worth it anymore if you want to go positive is constructed dailies. You play Vintage Masters because you like it and if you win the card lottery all the...

It is MTGO so the reserved list doesn't exist as the cards are digital. Currently finishing a Bloom Titan modern deck. While waiting for the final cards I have been using proxies to practice and holy crap is the deck complicated. I am going to have to do a lot more practice so that I can be...

Which is why I draw my cards face down on the table for putting them into my hand. If I draw extra I can then see that and put it back without penalty. But yeah any messages at all in the game should be at the very least a game loss. In magic if anyone says anything to me that gives outside info...

Can anyone else confirm that ziplines can take down helicopters? I did a bit of experimenting and it DOES indeed look like if I run into a zipline as a helicopter it crashes the vehicle. Not sure if I ran into a levolution though since a building also went down at the same time.

Yeah, thanks for the advice. It has helped, though it'd be nice to get some of the Legendaries. I've lost a bunch of games to things like Baron Geddon into Ragnaros, or a game where I had everything under control and he plays Deathwing. Would be nice to get one of those

Yeah I am fairly experienced with MTG so my issue is just figuring out things like pick order, draft archetypes, etc.

So I am just getting into Hearthstone. What are the best websites for reading up on arena strategy, meta game, etc.? Basically I am looking for something similar to StarCityGames.com

WotC's development cycle isn't as far ahead as everyone thinks it is. Maybe in the past, but with how modern supply chains work, among other things, WotC can be quite nimble when it needs to be in making last minute changes to set. As for treating customers like shit, that is mostly related...

Fake Russian girl doesn't count as the mole since he was a bad guy. I am talking about the one within the CIA or President's circle.

We'll see what happens, I'm hoping the fact that it is only twelve episodes lets them skip past some of the tropes that made 24 tired. For example, the inevitable mole.

In the long run Kruphix is probably one of the more valuable gods but yeah, right now he'd be a bit disappointing.

If you really must rationalize why Stark wasn't involved: the time frame of the "public battle" was pretty short for him to fly all the way out from the west coast. Before that Captain America didn't know if he could trust him and the most Stark would know from the news is that Captain America...

I have been thinking about enchantment creatures, constellation, and the card Extinguish All Hope and I actually think there might be a deck there. Obviously we need to see the commons and uncommons but Extinguish All Hope I think has some interesting applications for an enchantment creature...

This is true, though we will see what happens. I suspect it won't be that bad as there are still lots of exile effects in standard. Might just mean I'll move over to naya monsters if this manages to cut down on the amount of monoblack and control decks.l since naya gives me access to lots of...

The bright side is that Anger of the Gods is an answer.

So Athreos... Holy crap. Also an interesting point was brought up today at PAX in that missing Keranos's ability is a games rule violation, not a missed trigger. That will be very problematic at competitive rules enforcement but dies present issues at casual rules enforcement.

You are right, either way there is some fun stuff you can do like EOT flash in Dictate of Kruphix, draw a card, leave mana open, then on your opponent's draw phase flash in a Notion Thief to steal their extra card. I look forward to this set since it seems like we are going to finally get...

The new Ajani seems pretty good. A lot of people seem negative on it but I think it will slot perfectly as a two of in Selesnya aggro decks since he comes down on the curve precisely when that deck needs more gas or needs to go big to tackle things like Polukranos. I could also see him in Bant...

Yeah, we'll see what happens. Worst case Drown in Sorrows/Anger of the Gods/the new black board wipe come back into vogue. Also, I liked that mono-green deck at SCG this weekend haha.

Is it just me, or is the power level of Iroas far above that of the gods in Born of the Gods? Well, except maybe Xenagos.

The bonus episode on the KLK release later this year will be their graduation from the academy.

Gah, sorry for the necro. Somehow it was on my front page in the Mobile version of the website. Or I misclicked.

Well the audio drama leaves the ending wide open as:

Halo is not overrated. It took a lot of the lessons learned from Half-Life and put it into a package that was not just playable on consoles, but was fun. Plus didn't it revolutionize FPS controls on consoles?

Did anyone listen to the audio drama yet? It wouldn't surprise me if FFX-3 is in the works given the way it ends.

There is a hook for a second Kill La Kill series if they really wanted to do it but I think it is over, and that is probably for the best.

I am also a software developer and Riot's corporate culture sounds a bit more messed up than most. Things like flexible vacation time (take vacation as needed, except if you do it is frowned upon), being openly proud about working over weekends, as well as describing the lack of hierarchy when...

That goes a long way towards explaining how the patch process is so slow. Their corporate culture looks like it needs some serious work.

Morsakin when you say that you and your friends can't be on opposite teams because your skills are antithesis of each other it basically says that you guys only play one role and can't adapt. Branch out. The reason why people want repairing removed from the scout helicopter is because, until...

This is exactly what needs to be done.

I scrubbed out yesterday too, I did a side event and won a box at least. That R/W burn deck that mostly ignore board state is rough.

Here is a consideration: What about playing Slaughter Games? It can absolutely destroy control by taking away their ability to Sphinx's Revelation, against MBD you can take Pack Rat, finally against G/R monsters you can eliminate their biggest threat (Polukranos?). That said I am unsure of what...

I think two is the right amount. It's not something you want to see every game, especially if you're against aggro. As for whether it's sideboard or main deck, it really boils down to how much mono-black, G/R/x monsters, and control I expect to see. Which I guess is to say, a fair bit...

Going to be participating in SCG Seattle this weekend. I have been playing a lot of jund monsters so I think I'm going to stick with it since I know the deck well. However I am expected a bit more of the metagame to shift to aggressive/burn strategies given their recent success. This is the deck...

It is called the illusion of freedom, and Bioware has a few employees whose primary job is ensuring that illusion is maintained in their games, to varying degrees of success.

But where are you getting this information? I live in Seattle and know a few people at WotC so if you REALLY want I can go ask.

The argument that a card will not see a standard reprint because "it is too expensive" is not a good one. Especially when WotC is trying to push Modern as a format, and it was expressly designed such that WotC could reprint cards as needed. For Modern to succeed it needs to be accessible and you...

Well right now fetchlands are holding modern back, so I would bet they are being reprinted in the fall set since to affect price they need to have a massive print run. Though I suspect one or two will end up in the modern event deck to tide things over until then. If you have fetches and...
