    if you're willing to take some time to assemble a PDF of the deck, you can get a deck professionally printed out on playing card stock for relatively cheap from any of the little custom playing card websites. Much like Inked Playmats, they don't arse themselves to check whether the material is...

    Amusingly, Madness is awkward with Liliana of the Veil, since you can use it to activate your own Madness cards... but also risk activating your opponents' madness cards. And since lili generally comes down and -2s, it's pretty easy for the opponent to "set up" for her +discard.

    They said under the new core-set paradigm we will be seeing Reprint Planeswalkers in expansion sets, because of the limited design space each individual Planeswalker has. "Jace draws cards and mills" can only iterate so many different ways without feeling silly, and reprints pad the amount of...

    If it involves any of the big three (albeit Passtimes isn't in the same league of CFB/SCG), nothing will come of this in public. I'd guess SCG is involved, since they've got a Special Relationship with Wizards.

    Really wish the Mage Affinity added Charge instead of 1SP, it's kind of silly how much worse it is than the Warrior one. It's like you're getting 2-3/4th of a Charge per mage troop you play. Maybe Spellpower will prove to be more valuable as the talent tree expands. Of course, it could take...

    Dwarf Cleric has been a nice combination of slow and fast. You have your explosive robots games where you straight murder folks right off, but also the healing and silly Soul Vessel synergy to go long. You attack from the ground and from the air. Being able to run 3 sapper's charge, 3 burn, 3...

    I like the investigation mechanic because it theoretically lets them cost cantrip-spells as fine stand alone spells, since the cantrip part has its own separate cost part later. Also, Shape Anew shenanigans in Modern. Madness coming back is going to be hilarious with Jace. Also, tracking...

    I like that they're convinced the only reason they weren't blown away was because of the stream. "You need to do this David, the bravest and most liberty-loving thing you can do is to give in like a pussy. Like Christ and the Apostles."

    I actually really miss the stupid Trinket-madness playstyle monks had for the Thunder King's Palace, with its hilarious reforging plate-spinning insanity.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    EQ2 devs seemed absolutely terrified of the "emergent" game play in EQ1, and wanted to make sure the shackles were firmly in place from the outset of EQ2. And then like a week after release you had all the tanks spamming group buffs for uncontestable ultra-threat, and "DPS Berserkers"...

    Having worked in CCG/LCG playtest/design at multiple companies, a lot of shit that seems obvious in hindsight is overlooked in testing. Often because of testing directives/conceits that push towards focusing on other things in order to meet your job requirements. And sometimes they're caught...

    The reasoning behind the shared EXP debt in EQ2 made sense. It was dumb, and wouldn't work in the wild, but there was logic behind it. Force people to be better at the game by making them absolute pariahs if they suck. Didn't work that way in practice, just made shit miserable and everyone...

    Amusingly, like half the on-camera U/R Drazi wins have been with no Sol-lands in play. Just playing normal lands and draft chaff. And, the silliness isn't just Sol-land Eldrazi. Affinity winning on camera with a 0 land hand at 30+ life against Lepore's Eldrazi deck. And Instant Speed...

    Good thing we've got 54 weeks until the next Modern Banned/Rotation list Not having to worry about Twin makes it a lot less frightening to rock a 0 creature-removal maindeck. Greed must be rewarded! Some of those Eldrazi games on Camera looked a lot like Elves! when it actually fires...

    Elf Warrior is hilarious. With the various +Charge/-Cost talents you really consistently ramp into shit way too early. Kind of a bummer that most of the good aggro orcs are Clerics and Rangers, though. I made it past the Wormoids with all 60 Gnomes on my back as Coyotl Cleric by going...

    Yep. On a logical level, I understand fully the design purpose behind them. That doesn't make it feel any less shitty. Unfortunately, for the most part, non-resource-progression CCGs from the first and second generations all pretty much croaked. Most of the games that managed to avoid the...

    Note: As of their latest partnership, it's now against TOS to sell accounts, despite being kosher before that. So if someone buys your account, strips it, then chargebacks you, HEX won't help.

    Reports from the previewers were ~10-14 hours of content. But it meets the requirement to "bring out PVE before we publish set 4" and lets them greenlight set 4 to get more moneis If they really want money, they'll let us buy extra character slots for platinum.
