Grixis Midrange decks on SCG stream this weekend looked pretty fun. Flipping Bolas to get back Liliana to get back another Bolas is a nice value train.

My only question is whether Ryan Dancey is involved or not.

Need another raid where you can murder all your friends with Path of Frost.

Hex doesn't either. At least not one they're willing to develop at anything other than a glacial pace.

This is the project that taught me to never back anything but boardgames on crowdfunding. I already had MTGO. I didn't need a second MTGO. Implement the fucking shit that was actually interesting and new, and maybe I would have given you more money. But no, just more sets for playing MTGO-Lite.

Demo warlock is really fun. I like the ramping feedback loop they built into it. Once a fight's been going on for a little while you're barely pressing your Shadowbolt anymore, because the demons keep generating more shards to summon more demons.

This is all just elaborate set up for their excuse when the last raid tier of BFA lasts 22 months. "What, you guys saw what happened when we rushed an expansion. You wouldn't want another BFA would you?"

Hazezon's super fun Strossus. It's the "Come at me, bro" of Commanders. You pretty much have to set up, and then tell the table "You've got one turn" by casting Hazezon and creating his delayed trigger. Creates some fun tense games. Definitely hurts his win rate tho :D It's also fun to have...

They did increase the price of precons by ~$5, which translates to +$10-15 to the total price of the reprints they slot in there. So there's an outside chance of a middling-costly card that really works for the deck theme sneaking in there, like Scroll Rack for the BUW deck. But yeah, my...

Eclipse 2E Kickstarter seems kinda shitty if you aren't somebody with a hard-on for minis. Locking my rules updates/balance tweaks behind $150 in extra plastic is kinda shitty. No early bird specials, stretch goals are all either reselling us things we already have, or "an extra discovery tile...

Commander 2018 Deck themes/colors announced on Twitch Stream: Blue-Red Artifacts Matter Blue-Green-White Enchantments Matter Black-Red-Green Lands Matter Black-Blue-White MIracles/"Top of Deck Matters" Can we get Angus Mackenzie to $500? YES WE CAN

It was amusing when different armors looked completely different depending on the race wearing it. Like that armor that dropped from the fucking Ice Orcs in Velious. Looked like normal chain mail on most races. Slap it on a Female Dark elf and it was slutty chainmail negligee. They knew who...

Finally got actual release news for the WotC Transformers CCG, release pushed to late September, or early release at SDCC/GenCon. Apparently someone at Hasbro has a big hard-on for functional promos, as this game's getting them too, like Magic's new Buy-a-Box Promos, despite the shit being...

But I've been on the internet since the 90s, at this point I receive near-sexual gratification from being pissed off.

Them allied races yo. Gotta get those sparkly shadowy butterfly wings for your badass warrior.

Obviously Rogue needs to get a theme of recasting "burnt" cards to go with that.

Will be interesting to see how they keep Omega Neutrals from just being "extra druid card slots" in the expansion. Probably by making them shit.

Pretty sure that Legendary Spell has been on half of Kripp's "user created cards" montages.

The only good collection is white-item tomes/journals/missives that you're given for quests that don't get deleted when you complete the quest.

Bearer of the Mackenzy Hammer is the original RNGesus Take The Wheel card.

Yeah, Wizards has a new branch of devs working on making new CCGs again (some folks reshuffled, others new hires), now that Hasbro's apparently unlocked their IP vault for WotC to fiddle with. Might have contributed to the decision to fuck over netrunner. And weeaboo-fighting-CCGs are still...

Or Transformers CCG killing magic off yo! 22 days till its August release date and we've seen hide nor hair of that product since its announcement last winter. Methinks they brought it to playtest and realized they fucked something up hard.

The reddit threads where E-Lawyers argue about the reserved list are the best. WOTC/Hasbro's lawyers have been teabagging this entire genre for decades; if they think it's not worth breaking reserved list, and pushed for more guideline clarity last time it was updated, I'm inclined to believe...

I mean, if that were true it'd just be a random grab bag of who's doing well each week, rather than players consistently performing at different levels. Case in point, it's pre-release weekend, plenty of good players with rare-less decks beating out the derps rocking the lucky pools.

There's gonna be so many genders.

Goreclaw is a fucking bear. The tempo advantage if you untap with her is unreal (if you can capitalize, of course). Dryad Greenseeker feels a lot more "Courser of Kruphix" than a random 2 drop uncommon has a right to. Haven't even come close to dropping any game I got her out in so far...

But if you don't stay in the train you won't get the to learn the riveting conclusion to "did the hero manage to collect all 10 bear asses?"

LRcast show for M19 out, no LSV. Apparently there's some negotiations thing to straighten out between Limited Resources and Channel Fireball. While I like LSV, I kinda prefer when Marshall has other guests. LSV is just "marshall, but better at the game," so the set reviews tend to be a whole...

Shiv Silent is super fun, but I always end up facing the stupid time end boss when I successfully get a Shiv seed.

Successful Ironclad Runs Made Easy: Find the stupid "Deal damage equal to your Armor" attack in the first map. Upgrade it. Collect welfare checks.

Sam Deathwalker, obviously.

Why on earth would you hire artists from the company that produced New Freeport?

I believe it's called "Soccer."

He's a dude who whines about not being able to play "fair" magic, but thinks instant speed infinite combos tutored directly out of your deck are fair magic :D One of many folks who tried to jump on the Pokemon Bandwagon after pokemon go briefly made Pokemon TCG a "thing" again online. Turns...

But they're not dog-men. #notmykobolds

The real joke is that I expect about as much out of this as I expect out of any company that says it's making an MMO. Never coming out might actually be an improvement over the ones that actually launch.

You get rewards for doing individual islands, but there's also a weekly "big" reward of AP you get after you've completed ~6-8 Islands. The Gauge fills up based on the Azerite you gather on each island as you're trying to complete the island. I am mostly joking, although there's probably a...

So expansion launches at 3pm monday, so if you spend 16-18 hours leveling, you've got a solid hour or three to grind out island expeditions for the weekly Azerite before the servers reset tuesday!

Brad let his company be run by an inbred family of southern baptists or something, who made new concept art on napkins.

Our rogues seemed to be having fun.
