Honestly it should have just been an option. Offer both "start as your class" and "I have no fucking clue what I'm doing let me explore my options."

Yeah, I ended up caving and buying a box since the next magic expansion is a month out and I had a ton of fun at the pre-releases for this. Lotta people at the game store blaming dice for their losses when they had directly attributable poor play lines actually at fault for their loss. Sold...

EQ2's Innovation was obsessively trying to force the players to play the way the devs' intended.

I mean, to be fair, as far as the vidya gaem industry goes, the more experience you have the shittier the product you produce, it seems.

Pros have been writing "Unban stoneforge mystic!" articles (although the one released today was tongue in cheek), so I assume the stores've got a thousand grand prix promos they really want to sell.

Yeah, it's a fun time. If your playgroup's pretty creature fighty and casual, Shields of Velis Vel is unexpectedly fun in him :)

Went to black friday sale, gutted old man with a broadsword, saved $200 on card sleeves.

Yeah, I'm just selling all the Legendaries I open while the market's silly in order to recoup my costs.

Anyone else have a chance to play this game at the preview events? Seems pretty fun, and decently deep gameplay decisions. The dice are a bit less frustrating than other dice games I've played (where you're aiming for a threshold of success) what with 5/6 of the sides of any die actually...

I've got $100 cardboard to buy for $60, man, ain't no way I'm stayin home!

How's replayability looking for it? Any of the encounters structured in such a way that once you know them they're completely trivialized? Or will playing back through with different decks still be fun.

Planning on picking it up for our boardgame group as a once-per month psuedo-RPG thing.

Dumb enough to do this, smart enough to graduate college.

Hillary's Vengeance is Swift.

Took Kynaois and Tiro out for a spin today. Running Astral Slide/Lightning Rift, Cycling Lands, and Land retrieval like Loam, alongside some good recursive ETB creatures to abuse with slide. Was pretty fun. Pulled off some pretty huge turns fueled by mountains of lands generated by Burgeoning...

Cobbled together a weird Yidris Reanimator/Fatty deck on Friday and gave it a whirl at the game shop. Only spells below 2 mana cost are Hypergenesis, Living End, and Ancestral Vision. The vision was likely a greedy mistake. Unlike other folks at the shop who were trying to use Yidris to...

Back of the Atraxa box says she "decimates" her foes. Proliferating a Poison counter brings your opponent 1/10th of the way closer to death. This makes me smile.

Time Stop Instant End the turn. Best foil, takes away the book of reminder text.

Nebraska down 3 to 62. Is this Football or Basketball?

I'm okay with $10 for a class when they also have to go through and design a full suite of Set items, legendaries, and a full rune system to go with their new class. Hopefully they've also overhauled pet AI.

Also, Tawnos's Coffin is the best magic card. I have an unnatural love for it. Every time I have it out in Hazezon Tamar I can't stop smiling.

I've got my Weatherlight Set Guide sitting in the other room, just to make sure I'm ready to draft weatherlight again some day.

Oh god, AEG's Black Box this year is Phase, a game they designed in 2006 and wanted to release in 2010. I am going to have to buy it out of morbid curiosity. The original idea was to sell it as a CCG, and create the "ultimate" collectible game. Make cards double-sided, but marry the sides...

The happiest magic players are the ones with no idea what their collection is worth.

I don't buy pre-made proxies, since that's just enabling people trying to sell counterfeits. When I need proxies, I just make a PDF of card images, add PROXY in red where the set symbol should be, then print them out on a sticker-sheet at FedEx and sticker them to some basic lands.

The decision by wizards to disallow IQ+PPTQ combo tourneys helped kill the IQ for any middling turnout area.

Sargeras can totally win this war, all he has to do is offer the PCs some reskinned Mounts for killing off the horde and the alliance.

Having to press Auto-Attack Off, Hide, Auto-Attack every time I had to evade on my rogue was huge APM increase. And then I became a leet haxxor and macro'd that shit.

No more SCG State Championships, that brings us down to what, 8 State Championship tournaments per state per year?

My one regret about going back to the 2 year legality cycle for standard is that it pushes Enemy Fetch Reprints even further back by lengthening the legality of the Battle Lands.

1) Representative Terms set to 6 years so that there's more time between election bullshit detracting from work. Limit of two Terms, does not preclude joining the senate or running for President. 2) Senator: 12 year term so that changes you are involved in have time to show their fruits before...

I try to have a variety of power-levels in the actual decks. We've got 11 shops in town, so I have decks I will or won't bust out based on what shop I'm at. I also keep a little "sideboard" of cards with some decks to adjust their power-level. Like, Hakim I sideboard the Treachery in or Out...

You only need 8 total of each Shockland for EDH. Example: Watery Grave is needed in: BU, BUR, BUG, BUW, BURG, BURW, BUGW, BURGW Fetchlands are the real "god damnit you need so many" point since they aren't restricted by commander color as much. But I uh, played a lot of Onslaught and...

I mean, I was buying all 5 anyway, gotta update the 27-decks to 32 :) Probably going to go budget on their manabases though, don't really feel like trying to get another playset of shocks.

Wizards full set spoiler is out: Commander (2016 Edition) Most of the decks look pretty decent for a commander product. Amused at there only being 1 Nephilim. Time to start working on a Decklist for Saskia. Probably just going to break down my Gisela deck and move the theme up. "Double...

The only sensible form of governance is singular direction backed by divine mandate, with citizenship benefits extended to anyone willing to produce wealth for the state via running a business, or willing to murder the state's enemies, either by main force, or by using their own resources to...

You don't sound very open-minded about polls.

Any political opinion developed after 1138 is rubbish.

Honestly, I just find the religion mechanics tedious.

Like, the ring would at least make sense if it functioned in PVP. You'd get to feel powerful *somewhere*. I think the shitty ring/neck artifacts also just feel way, way worse due to them removing primary stat from jewelry. If it was at least giving you a hyooj fuck chunk of primary stat you'd...
