Demonhunter intro also ends up with you being 50% through level 100 at the end of it, which was nice for the beta pass where there was only actually 8 levels worth of quest exp in Legion zones. Course, that 50% will be wasted on anyone who makes it during the prepatch

I mean, it'll prolly take another 30 years to reach launch, so you should be retired and have tons of free time by then.

Lambholt pacifist is hilarious in all these bant matchups, totally breaks parity, and allows absolutely brutal openers. EDIT: Wheels fell off the bus in the last couple rounds, was still a very fun event. Had to play against 9 4C Rites decks, so I'm glad I picked a deck with a good game...

7-2 at the end of day one at grand prix Minneapolis, room is pretty stacked going into day two

I would guess Grove and Horizon Canopy have a solid chance of being Mythics in MM3. But the Expedition Canopy may mean no to that.

A thousand times this. It's like all the Stonemasons in civ are also Drill Sergeants, so they have to choose between building shit or training troops. Fuckin Defias Gang shit going on.

Random writers calling it the end because they can't process that the "support units" are just barnacles attached to actual units to give them a modular benefit; it's still effectively 1Unit Per Tile.

A lot of the secondary benefits from leveling up crafting recipes are broken or NYI for individual ranks atm, but it should be a pretty nice system once it's all working.

The Greatest Reprint of Our Time.

It was the 31-point talent before Wyvern Sting put it out of its misery.

Time to sell some Archive Traps.

On my first WoW character, a Dwarf Hunter, I ran out of ammo halfway through my first Deadmines run. So I rolled on and won the 2handed axe off the goblin and went melee, specced survival for dem +X% Raptor Strike Damage talents, yo. It was early enough in the game's life that not even the...

GP Charlotte apparently shit the coats. Event software is broken so pairings are being done completely at random, and half the event dropped after round 4 to get refund-badge. Makes me excited for what Passtimes will do at Minneapolis next week to assert their dominance as "Terrible Event...

Not really. You can play magic duels "free", but it'll take a while to cobble together decks/collection There are third party platforms like xmage and cockatrice that are actually free, but they're very "sticks and twine in a cave" construction, compared to true programs.

I believe!

Cryptolith Rites is definitely a card that is either busted or pure garbage, and it currently leans on the side of busted. What horrors will abound once Languish rotates, if we don't get a replacement 4 mana "conditional" wrath. And yeah, the B/G deck isn't the best competitive choice. I...

Be a bit hesitant on buying into the decks using Dragons of Tarkir/Magic Origins power-mythics, the expensive ones (except Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, Collected Company, and Kolaghan's Command) are pretty much useless in Modern, so they're going to crater a bit post-rotation (Which is in ~4.5months)...

Bunch of announcements today: Fall set is on Kaladesh, Chandra's home plane; artifact themed. Planechase anthology in November. Commander 2016 introduces four color legends in November. New intro pack product features standard legal cards exclusive to the intro pack, including 2 new...

The original EDH banlist is mostly just "Cards Sheldon Doesn't Like" which is defined as "Combo Cards that aren't green, and expensive cards Sheldon's playgroup doesn't have enough copies of for all their decks," and "Cards Sheldon lost to too many times." Which was fine, because in the...

EDH is great with a consistent group of like-minded players. Much like any casual-play format. The problem is finding that group for you.

The Shock lands are also only 1x-2x ofs in decks (with a few exceptions, hi scapeshift!), thanks to the Fetches, which lowers their price threshold.

Also, something you'll learn as you play more, 2 life is worth less than the tempo-hit of a land coming into play tapped much of the time (but not all of the time). Most uncommon lands are worse than the Shockland rare cycle because the "important" turns in the formats where the Shocklands are...

Having fun leveling one right now. Can run away from any fight you can't win

Not a huge fan of Civ5's city states. Makes the game feel much easier. I'd be more of a fan if they did the crazy shit they rarely do (go on a conquest path) more frequently. As they normally are, they're just loot pinatas where you can brute force whatever resource you're missing using gold.

Why are those 30 story tall samurai about to attack Stormwind?

Brave Archer+Arcane Shot is some amusing cancer. Innervate+Yog is hilarious. Turn 2 Yog is 100% fair, because it has like a 50% chance to kill itself.

Not much wrong after Gods, and nothing wrong after Brave New World. Base Civ 5 was... a game.

Can't wait. Mostly can't wait until it gets an Expansion that turns it into a great game a year or two from now, since that appears to be the status quo for the product line.

Beta invites have started flagging accounts today. My first Recruit a Friend Account, from back when they started the program, that was only subbed for 2 months, got in over my actual accounts. So I assume it's completely random.

I moved to a high pop server after my old backwater-server guild crapped out this expansion. Farming random stuff/questing on the new 4 tradeskill alts I have to level, the high pop is annoying, but for everything else it's been pretty great. I imagine it will be a fucking nightmare at...

A ton of the casual players in my guild were balls deep on Transmog collecting. Different strokes for different folks. I personally preferred the way it was pre-x-mog. Putting up with some fuckin derpy looking sets was worth it for having gear be an actually recognizeable measure of...

I doubt we'll see general gold costs increase, since that only hurts new/returning players. Much more likely to see the sinks on superfluous/vanity/convenience items.

Your graves will permanently take up 6x3x6 dirt space!

High pass was so fucked, beset by gnolls, orcs, goblins, and random adventurers camping their guards.

It'll be interesting to see how.much the next convenience gold sink item (think mammoth, yak) will cost. They need to bleed some gold out of the hyperinflated economy or anyone starting or returning after treasure missions are removed will be right fucked.

Would be amusing if they lost the 1.12 Vanilla code, but still had the beta code. "WE'RE GOING EVEN MORE OLDSCHOOL THAN THOSE VANILLA NOOBS."

This is why I always play new classes the Expansion they're released. They always feel fantastic (and are often overpowered, but that's not really related to how smooth their gameplay flows), because the devs haven't had time to second-guess themselves and dick the whole thing over too hard...

Blizzard devs executing the Nost team via Guillotine at noon tomorrow, streamed live on twitch.

TACTICAL RETREAT!

No official word. Prepatch is generally 1-2 months before the actual launch, so probably some time in June, following the Movie.
