    Alright, you sit down and your first pack has Zurgo in it along with 3 uncommons and 11 commons. What are the commons and uncommons you value higher than a strong win condition such as Zurgo that you are willing to pass off to another player? Passing win conditions is a pretty shit idea generally.

    I don't like it when someone just tosses a Tracking out when they aren't digging for something specific. The turn 1 Tracking is just asking to get shown something like Highmane Highmane Unleash. Hope you didn't both copies of Highmane this game.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    Why even reboot? The audience knows as much as you need them to know to do X-Men stories. Just cast the same people and get to work.

    Hearthstone Tournament Sign-ups! Fifth RR HS Tournament!

    Hearthstone's competitive depth comes from the emerging multiple deck formats. If a tournament structure was one deck with some "best of X" it would be very, very uninteresting.

    Interstellar (2014)

    Looks like a time travel thing with worm holes and a circular end-is-the-beginning-is-the-end story arc. OH NO THE SHIP THAT WENT TO FIND A NEW PLANET IS THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER THAT MORTALLY WOUNDED OUR PLANET BECAUSE WORM HOLES type of thing.

    Hearthstone Tournament Sign-ups! Fifth RR HS Tournament!

    The least expensive competitive decks in MtG are more in the 200+ area than the 100-200 area. The least expensive deck that I can think of that is still an optimal configuration would still be north of 200.

    In the last draft I played in I started out as W/R with Deflecting Palm and some Mantises before rare drafting (because I'm a filthy casual) an Icy Blast that would later become integral to the Sultai deck I ended up with. Good luck everyone figuring out those signals.

    The Imitation Game (2014)

    He was integral to the cracking of the Enigma Machine. Couldn't they have let him fuck all the legal age dudes he wanted?

    I'm just drafting the best card until halfway through pack three. I don't want to commit too early.

    Jerle Committed Suicide Today

    Jerle was working for Riot for a while under the handle Damiya. He was an insufferable attention whore. Still sorta sad he's a corpse though.

    Yeah yeah, I know. I think there's room for a little more upside but only a little more. I'll start trying to ditch them starting Friday.

    I thought that was a pretty obvious engine card when I saw the spoiler and went ahead and picked up 15 or so at 75 cents each. I kinda wish I had been a grown ass man and really taken a position on them but at the same time I sorta already have to be looking to unload them already. I could...

    Enemy (2013)

    I did find the scene of the gigantic spider slowly walking through Toronto to be chilling. Something about it stuck in my noodle more than any of the other crap including the ending. The only thing I could think of with the ending was "why does she look scared?" Even the opening wasn't very...

    Enemy (2013)

    Thinking about it the day after I like it even less than when I finished it. I tend to have a soft spot for films that are slow and odd but this one just didn't have enough going on.

    I didn't buy Mantis Rider when it was 1.50 and felt dumb about it but went ahead and bought a set for 10 yesterday after watching a Jeskai burn a Mana Confluence aggro deck right out of the game in the fourth round of the tournament. In the span of like thirty minutes on eBay all of the Rider...

    Most of the time yeah. I also think it'll be kinda interesting to attack, pump once, and ask your red playing opponent if the first pump resolves. Queue squirming. Even if you get in big and tap out if your opponent spends mana on his turn three to kill it you still have initiative and still...

    Elf, Rakshasa, swing for six is pretty good. You aren't developing the board on your turn 3 but that's a whole mess of threat from just dude + elf.

    Those I bought on MTGO along with most of the devotion skeleton for basically nothing. They were just cards I liked. Desecration Demon? This has to be good! I'd like this whole physical cards thing if I could purchase and receive cards instantly.

    Random distributions have deviations from the mean. The system is also somewhat zero sum in that each sheet of rares/mythics is not variable so those cards from the sheets his fetches and shit came from are going to end up in other people's far less awesome boxes. Also, what that guy should...

    If you make it to rank 20 in a season you'll get a fancy card back at the end of it. Five-hundred ranked wins on a particular hero unlocks the golden version of that hero. It's all pluses for playing ranked versus unranked.

    When I tell Tanoomba to kill himself (for serious, kill yourself) it just doesn't mean the same because he's a guy and harassing guys is different. You can't even compare the two!

    Happy to see the revamp actually come through and it looks very good and I am not surprised in the slightest that he's no longer a mage with a point and click stun but I am also sad that the champion I liked so much is gone forever a la Karma. His ult is a great deal like Power Ball which...

    I think Siege Rhino is pretty great but that's a slot with some competition. Polukranos is pretty damned solid and there is even Reaper of the Wilds for other 4/5s that do a bunch of shit. And Reaper is like fifty cents.

    Thatsucks. I was already a bit worried about a few of the cards I preordered that have risen significantly and now someone I know has gotten the bus.

    This is the kind of sentiment I was in opposition to, especially coming from someone on the retail side. If you want to scale back to "the worst thing that happens is you can't roll in and buy two cases" that's fine with me. If there aren't any boxes on the shelves than that means all of those...
