Race for the Galaxy Expansions were awkward because you either had to unsort out the other expansions to use the new one, or just add it to a growing mass of non-synergistic dreck. Terra Mystica is a good time. Some real imbalance in the races though, so doing opening Victory Point bidding...

EDIT: Double post.

But then Billy The Rogue would be expected to do something other than be melee DPS #5 on fights that really hate melee DPS. And that would be a negative play experience.

Heh, need Jungler, tank derivative that spends the whole fight farming add-packs.

It'll be an announcement for new DLC: New interactive playmaps!

Whenever I see a Golden Shaman I don't know whether to feel pity or impressed.

Jenga started selling its 2-for-the-price-of-1-bundle like a week before the attack. The sign was clear. Twin towers were collapsing for at least a week before the twin towers collapsed.

It was also amusing watching him get 100% hard-countered by Hoogland's deck. Colorless Creatures, instant-speed Wraths, and Counterspells hoooooo.

No, but scrubbing with garlic-infused water prevents Split Ends.

@a_skeleton_03: If you watch the footage from his games, it didn't matter that Tutelage didn't trigger from it. He was using it to restock on Fogs. Treasure Cruise delves non-fog cards out of your graveyard, improving your deck-composition for Fog re-draws. Once the deck is set-up, it only...

Where's Gaea's Blessing when you need it.

Replacing pack prizes for winning with other things is a good move. Market is way flooded with packs, and they need to restrict the faucet somehow to bring their value back up to something more healthy. Doubling entry price was a dumb move, though. If your goal is to make events feel worth...

However, I like that it looks like a deck with a lot of room left for tweaking. The numbers are relatively raw at this point.

Well, time to test out some Dwynen's Elites at tomorrow's PPTQ. Elite creates a lot more "nut" play-sequences, but it was painful making the cuts to slot him in. Got 2nd at the last one I was in using my pre-Origins Elves, missed the win by 1 point of damage in both game 1 and 3. Still not...

I just always keep track of my life on a lifepad, even in casual play at this point. Way too much random shit happens to dice/spinners/duelist abacuses during play.

If you gear them out first, surely they'll stay to help with farm!

There are still a bunch of tier 2 Modern decks that build for 50-60 (Ux Tron is pretty fun, and does decently on MODO), but even the 'cheap' tier 1 stuff has become non-cheap over the last year. My eyes still cross when I see $30+ Goblin Guides. I'd suggest waiting for a couple things before...

No B&R list changes. No Blade of the Meek to celebrate M:O's Thopter Tribe.

Got to sacrifice a 6-counter, Supression-Bonds-ed Hangarback with Pia and Kiran Nalaar. Was the best feeling.

Managed to dodge all the amazing 2-drops in the format in order to pilot my Curve-Starts-At-3 (not by choice) R/W Control deck to a finals prize split. Every time you play Gideon's Phalanx, it is the best feeling.

The majestic winged flaming meatball soars through the skies of Draenor, an awe-striking spectacle.

Yeah, in order for our stores to survive they pretty much had to all get together at a Perkins, avoid strangling each other for a couple hours, and plot out a non-conflicting PPTQ/GPT schedule.

So, if they're hiring a Wildstar designer, does that mean the Add-On that put colored templates down to represent raid hazards will be re-legalized?

I did actually see someone murder another player with a Pick-axe and then scribble their name on the guy's pre-release box.

Well, our shops put Moxen (hooray for Shop Owners who played magic in their youth), Duals, Multiple Boxes per t8 Member and shit in their t8s at the pre-releases in an attempt to drive the other stores out of the Pre-release business, then insist it's still a casual event that doesn't need deck...

Well, I mean, any attempt at hard-assing a Pre-release is defeated by the 5 guys who went to the midnight pre-release and purchased Intro Decks (Fuck wotc for making these things sellable AT the prerelease. They know the reason people buy their inefficient shit that night is to cheat the rest...

They're doing the packs differently this time. You get 6 normal packs, and then 7 cards of your chosen color. So your "seed" shouldn't have as big of an impact as it did the last year or two. And thank god we're back up to 6 real packs. Being basically guaranteed to get a worthless shit rare...

Azeroth just needs to invent some manner of sport for both sides to hash out their issues using. Bloodbowl.

Obviously the best way for Wizards to bypass all the PR mess is to just put up an article confirming Zendikar Fetches and Serum Visions in Battle for Zendikar.

Apparently any magic player who is a convicted felon needs to make damn sure they never end up on camera at a magic event.

Inspire needed an Opposition/Glare of Subdual style enchantment

Yeah, different design team, different intended power-level for the set. Theros was supposed to be a power reset, but people did not respond well to it.

Each of the 10 Color Combinations was planned to primarily represent a different Plane theme, but there's bleed-over into other colors in the final arrangement. B/U: Innistrad B/R: Regatha B/G: Lorwyn B/W: Dominaria (GET IT, BLACK AND WHITE, OLD TIMEY) U/R: Kaladesh (Steampunk India)...

There's definitely some fights in WoW I would have killed for a Save Point at Phase Transitions. It's even worse when the first X phases are so mindnumbingly easy that they basically exist as a way to say "We're giving you the first 30-50% of this boss's HP for free." So many hours spent on...

Evolutionary Leap is going to be a tits commander card with Ghave/Marath. Sac cheap tokens to draw more dudes? Sure!

But if you're playing legacy dredge any kind of mulligan prevents you from glorious turn 1 draw-discard!

Get some [EXHAUSTED] counters to track game state

Amusingly, the current form of the Mulligan is a long-standing tournament rule, but not a particularly old core-magic rule. Took em a while to decide to put it in the game rules instead of just the tournament procedures documentOf course, most people played by the tournament rules in casual...

We haven't even gotten to see Lady Vox made out of Voxels yet. A travesty.

They've seperated the new wow team into 3 company baseball teams that have spent the last 6 months participating in a drawn out tournament to determine workflow structuring.
