I mean, it was a very successful archetype in a very different game. People bitching about aggro getting turn 7 kills, vs turn 4. Not that it can't be successful again, but I don't think it's positioned the same as it was before Justicar.

Now, if you have a Teferi Emblem... :D

I'm just amused that the Mage Quest reward is literally the same card from Magic the Gathering, name, effect, and converted mana cost.

Tank Gideon is pretty amusing. Of course, most modern-day combo decks will just kill Gideon at the same turn they kill you.

Next level stratz is obviously quest Hunter... Fatigue. Only play enough 1 drops to complete the quest, then fill your deck with raptors and wait your opponent out. Obvious best deck for rank 23 play

Of course, this set also has "Cycle or Discard" in it, which has already created a plethora of confused noob questions. Including a few dear souls who think it means "triggers twice when you cycle!" Attempts to clarify can definitely backfire :D

Split card rules change coming with Amonkhet release: Split cards converted mana cost is now simplified to just be the combined CMC of both halves as long as it's anywhere but the stack. While on the stack, the split card has the CMC of whichever side you're casting. This destroys a ton of of...

I mean, Purphoros is kind of a thing in EDH :)

New God spoiler makes me sad. Much underwhelming. At least the shitty invocation typeface makes her name look like Hazoret the Pervert, which is worth a chuckle.

Cycling etbt dual lands is a nice choice. More fetchable duals for edh. Bant now has enough duals to activate Emeria without basic plains.

I like how 80% of that article is "IT'S FREE GOD DAMNIT PLAY" Doesn't reek of desperation at all.

Slower than Dredge and nailed by all the same meta. Will make it a stronger fnm.deck, tho

ICE's Middle Earth CCG would actually be a lot better as a Digital CCG, now that you make me think of the game. Have the computer handle map movement and hazards, slim the decks down, computer RNG for some reason is more acceptable than dice RNG to most people. You could probably retool the...

The immediate hateboner the internet has for these masterpieces is hilarious.

But will there be Peter Dinklage.

Cycling's back again. Come on Astral Slide Reprint, one time!

Obviously it's a Fossil of anti-Patron design :)

We all know what will actually happen. Cursed Blade 6 turns in a row.

Ravnica prerelease promotion plains, for the sneaky.

You have to Freeze their face turn 1. It's about sending a message!

Because Ghost Quarter and Path to Exile are very commonly played cards in modern that have the drawback of letting the person you use them on search their deck for a basic land. So depending on which Colored Spell of Choice your version of Affinity is, having 1 basic of that type is a low-cost...

I feel like the Rogue Quest was specifically designed for DaneHearthstone's youtube channel. He has a shit ton of videos of Bran+Shadowcaster shenanigans.

Damping Matrix is the trollest rare in the set. It took the Set # Slot of Chalice of the Void/Crucible of Worlds, and I have basically no idea who it's intended for. It's not played in modern and barely played in EDH. As a rare, it doesn't provide any compelling "counterplay" to...

The most irritating loot as a Human Monk. Shit kept auto-equipping into my fist slots and stopping my attacks!

I seem to remember the first patch adding a candle to your newbie gear as a human. Life definitely got better once you managed to wrangle your first greater lightstone.

Daze for days!

I kept trying to split prize, but people kept thinking they were going first and had a better draft deck than me. They were wrong on the second point :). Miracle-ing Terminus against aggro decks is just as bullshit as it ever was.

Upside of being a teacher is having plenty of time for shit like this in the summer.

Prize support was 51 packs for first, +3 packs for the t8 draft, +6 packs for the entry pool, for $60. I think it was 3-4 packs into the t8 prize pool per player entry. Two stores work together to run the Lincoln PPTQ, so as far as I can tell they pretty much run it at cost or at a slight...

Foil Tarn, 3 Lilis, 1 Tarmogoyf, 2 Blood Moons, 2 Marsh Flats, 1 Misty, 1 Arid Mesa, 1 normal Tarn, 1 Damnation were the standouts from the prize support.

Maybe she thawed a little on the trip?

"This is a really crappy thing to do. There's no reason to single out someone at Bioware just because you don't like their work." Of course there's a reason. They do shitty work. The problem with the game's industry is that the shitters don't get called out enough, and that's why you have...

Took down our Modern Masters Sealed PPTQ today. Had a great R/G Tokens sealed pool, but my spider senses (and my midnight drafting experience) told me that R/G tokens is a horrible trap, so I avoided it by going 4 Color Blink with my 3 terrible Shimmering Grottos of Awfulness, my 4 signets, and...

See, THIS is tempting to play. Ain't nobody want to play EQ expansions past 2003. That's why they all quit in the first place.

Modern Masters drafts were fun. R/G Tokens, and to a lesser extent B/R Sacrifice feel like traps unless you aggressively hate draft away Cower in Fear. Watched those decks just roll over and die every time they ran into anyone who drafted what essentially amounts to 3-mana cost, COMMON, Wrath...

The *option*? Shit's gonna be mandatory for the plot.

Rating/Reviewing game is just more of the patriarchy's oppression. Bunch of white dudes mansplaining why a game is "bad." There are no bad games, only different experiences. ME:A just refuses to be what is traditionally defined as "good," because the foundations of that tradition is the...

A nice part of a non-"action combat," GCD, tab-targeting game is that you can basically test a bulk of your class/ability system as a tabletop system and identify shit that's not pulling its weight there. D% rolls like a man!

Banning fetches+blood moon after reprinting them in Modern Masters would be the supreme troll move.

Yeah, plowing 3 lands against a deck whose mana curve ends at 2 feels bad.
