    4 Mana Wraths, Non-Basic Land Hate so that it isn't so insufferably easy to play hyper-greedy 4+ color manabases, and solid sideboard-dwelling hate cards are all things I'd love to have back. Ghost Quarter, Pithing Needle, the middle-aged core set cycle of color-hate cards (Flash Freeze...

    No banlist changes, which makes sense (and is preferrably to them knee-capping another 3-4 cards again). Amonkhet is 5 weeks away, and they've got Modern Masters Release Hype followed by Amonkhet Spoiler Season Hype to try to carry them to Amonkhet hopefully shaking things up.

    I mean, the devs finally succeeded in pruning all the bits of the game they say "ruin Magic." Except it turns out the Magic that's produced without those bits? Pretty bad. But I wouldn't let that take away from your friend's win. Anyone winning a GP put in a lot of work (and probably...

    Yeah, the new starting area looks like it was made by an intern. Shadowlands/Alien Wars starting zones were much better looking, and felt less like a corridor funneling you through.

    Got to play Anachrony last night. Quality game, but I don't know how much replay it'll get. The density of decision-making (not really the complexity, most choices are relatively simple) piles up to make the game feel a bit taxing. I was the only one at the table who wanted to play anything...

    That and the duping bugs that were in beta and made it into live without fixes pretty much wrecked the economy right out the gate.

    Depends on whether the modern masters run is as massive as the early rumors said. Prices will do their standard dip, then rise, but will take longer to rise based on how much product there is. You aren't going to get $12 fetches out of this like you did with Khans, but it should be a severe...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yeah, don't know if they're reverting for good reasons (Game's making enough money they can afford to self-publish) or bad reasons (Gameforge shedding a toxic asset), but fuck gameforge either way, so at least they've separated from that particular cancerous mass.

    Sad Magic-related smiles this week. My Dad passed away friday, and I found my original DCI card worn and faded in his wallet; he'd kept it ever since he registered me for our first DCI-sanctioned event as a wee lad back in the mid-90s, moving it from wallet to wallet over the years. Also, he...

    I like how "We can't keep up with the poopsockers" has become a justification for "We're going to make no effort whatsoever. Slap some PVP and griefing in and hope people amuse themselves."

    He was wished back at the same time as everyone else, and then went on to be a park ranger (yeah... the fuck), thus the silly RANGER armband. I guess he's fighting to protect the forests! Except 18 and 17 would need some pretty serious upgrading to be even remotely relevant at this point...

    Rogue Epic *not* having a giant flashy lightsaber effect was actually what I loved about it. You're a sneaky git, having a blade that drips poison every once in a while makes way more sense than a raver's glowstick. And it's not like we went through the same PITA to get our Epic as the other...

    It also makes them a game-shifting military threat, since they're the only faction that can *always* move as their next action (at least until you can get a factory card on the other races... which the Russians always gets to first and takes the good one, reducing the value of going for one with...
