Played in the Thursday event at GenCon, went 4-1, losing last round to the sheer randomness of singleton 30/30 decks :) Was a lot of fun, even if they really shouldn't have allowed people to "play out the turn" at time. I will admit to having a big dumb grin on my face hearing 700+ players do...

Yeah, supposed to be out for general release in Q4. Companies just sell that shit at gencon early because it's pure profit. They cut out the distributors and the LGSes, but still get to charge full MSRP :)

Picked up TI:4 at GenCon, seems like a good iteration. They aren't trying to compete with Eclipse, and stuck with the "big slow comprehensive game" approach. Pretty much just cut the gristle out of TI:3 and kept all the fat in. Will have more thoughts on it once I actually wrangle a table to...

Working in the Boardgame/CCG sphere, this is pretty much a problem with any "vision" guy. The best is when they become convinced their design is flawless, and delude themselves into thinking it's just people with personal vendettas trying to personally harm him/her that's causing everything to...

150 Packs,7 Legendaries: Prince2 Hunter DK Mage DK Priest DK Lilian Voss Rogue DK Warrior DK Prologue DK: Paladin Happy with my pulls for the most part. Spent the night playing DK Garrosh Whirlwind deck to finish quests. Not a huge fan. Feels like you do a ton of planning and...

"Nobody makes a run for the border on my watch."

What if after the Magic the Gathering MMO comes out, they make a Digital Card Game based on it?!

I kind of want to craft Golden Uther DK just to see if the 4 Horsemen are also golden

Yeah, the last couple patches haven't been particularly kind to DH. Which is fine, since the servers are lousy with them. DKs being amazing in Wrath pretty much permanently flooded the class with "derp it's a HERO class I should top the meters with 3 buttons" kids. I liked how DPS monks blew...

Commander 2017 spoilers are pretty nice. All the cards either have interesting mechanics, a fun flavorful design, or are powerful. Good first day of previews. Also, first time I've had to update my old Sliver Queen "Weatherlight Saga" theme deck in a while. If we don't get a Crovax in the...

@Rat Just variance. Fatpacks are true-random pack order, versus the curated (and complex) seeding order of normal boxes.

The only time it's an issue is if one or two decks are wildly more popular than the others, like the Atraxa deck was last year.

So we're up to what, the 4th announcement of an announcement from Wizards on this garbage? %age odds the next date will also be an announcement of an announcement date?

Gnomes have been pure arcane beings in D&D settings before, so probably there.

Opened 10 of Classic, 10 Un'goro, no Legendary in either. Either it got fixed or it's just small sample.

Desolator's channel is pretty much Cancerous Idiot Incarnate. Life must be pretty terrible when you're convinced every card ever printed is going to destroy the game.

Is that a reminder sheet for keyword abilities in the front of that binder?

Put me in, coach! *sad music as he forever sits on the sidelines*

Game was great fun until you got out of the first PVP bracket. Became fun again in that zone with all the bridges over lava, but only if you have a punt :D

In two months, half of standard rotates out. So if you want to buy a deck, you may want to focus on a deck that is mostly Kaladesh+Amonkhet, like: Blue-Red Control Deck for Magic: the Gathering or Temur Energy Deck for Magic: the Gathering Or whatever pops up as good after the upcoming Pro...

Would be amusing if there was 1 at every casting cost.

Well, interesting in that its mana cost lets it fit into Combos Faceless's 5 is too unwieldy for. Main issue will be finding those combos, and whether they're worth the deckbuilding restriction.

Why, it's the Frozen Throne after all!

Yeah, first commander set was vastly underprinted, since they didn't know demand yet, and contained various staple cards for EDH, and other formats (Hi Flusterstorm!). I'd probably move them if I had them now, though, since Wizards has shown a willingness to aggressively reprint Commander set...

Games come out of early access?

/pizza was just ahead of it's time. We didn't have the technology for /openthedoor and /shoveitinmyfoodfunnel yet

Yesterday, Star City hikes the price on blue Dual Lands. Today, new Pro Tour stuff is announced... with a Legacy section. Hmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. "What an odd coincidence!"

Was SOE staffed by extras from an Indiana Jones movie or something?

All the oxy really smoothed the experience out.

The only EQ3 we'll ever see is a mobile game with extremely aggressive monetization.

I don't think it'll be played, joking about making the best of bad promos.

Heh, 3 of my pre-release promos have been Hollow One. I am now on the "Hoping It's Busto In Older Formats" train. Don't really want to buy any Bazaars, though ;)

Tuco still plays on live, I think, posted his 6-box set-up a while back.

So, they're capitulating on some of the Fee-to-Play stuff at least.

Looks like a pretty interesting bit o' cardboard. Valuetown USA. Of course, you have to sacrifice a billion years of tempo in the process :)

I like the disconnect between the MMORPG.com guy's stream of the reboot, where he's bitching nonstop, and the article, where he's praising it.

There was interest, just not at the price Rhode Island was asking. RI didn't seem to understand whoever bought the shit would have to completely retool it since there was no way they'd get the same programmers et al back to work on it. Nowhere near worth the number RI had to bring in to claim...

Picked up the Endless Legend Collection and Shadow of Mordor, should provide enough entertainment to last until the next wave of games are out.

I'm just happy they said we're never seeing Humanoid Slivers again, even if they did confirm we're saddled with "your slivers have..." as effect line going forward.

The only way we're ever getting a Timespiral style "REFERENCES!" set again is as a Summer Draft/Multiplayer Weirdness Product, so that it's tucked safely away from the new players that make up wotc's expansion set focus group.
