    A big sticking point for FFG was that folks were buying all their LCG chapter/data/whatever packs on CSI for 40% off, then expecting the local stores to still run tournaments and shit for them. Makes the LGSs a bit cranky. Makes the online buying a lot more explicit when a dude actually shows...

    Yeah, there was a Double-Sided Test Print that leaked out, two different cards on the front, two halves of an Endbringer on the back, fitting together on fat-sides to make one huge Endbringer. The rumor is it was a test print in preparation for having two different cards that transform into one...

    Played star wars rebellion for the first time last night, as a 4-player multiplayer. Was pretty awful; will try again as 2 player, since the multiplayer mode was just awkward and painful. Dark side managed to pull off a capture+turn to the dark side on turn 2 because no one had any clue what...

    Mothership Spoiler Season (2 Week Duration) begins on the 27th, although there's a possibility of a Mechanics Article on the 20th which will spoil a few cards. This is similar to SOI, where the Mechanics article came out a week before the actual spoilers started. Full spoiler will be available...

    Unfortunately you're ~8 months late to snag the mint English Seal I had. Had to sell it off to help pay for a car repair. :/ Hooray for doing P3K Drafts at our store back in the day. Shit's hard to find, and I've run across fakes. Selling a piece of cardboard that expensive was so awkward...

    it also had the best Twinking. But then I leveled two characters through the Shadowlands Knowledge grind. By the time the keeper hit cap I was pretty much burned out on that shit forever.

    Just got back from the movie, enjoyed it. It was definitely bleeding from some heavy cutting, though; so it should be interesting to see what the DVD version is like.

    Enjoying the company of the people you raid with? When content's on farm, the raid is just a backdrop to chatting, more or less. And a source of amusement when someone dies to something they should have stopped dying to a year ago.

    Correct. I don't pretend to understand the coding behind it, but it's been working well on beta. I assume what's really happening is everyone's actually level 100 in the overworld the whole time, and the game is just reporting bigger numbers to you as your "level" increases. You get an...

    How much do you weigh?

    6'2'', 285. Lucky to be broad-shouldered and carry it well, but still a fat fuck. Down from when I was chaining Dr. Pepper like an IV Drip, though. And like 4 feet of my height is torso (exaggeration, ofc), so my pants are silly looking, and I'm like Lurch when I'm sitting at a table with...

    Neverwinter: PC

    I remember leveling in Foundry at launch. Just endless corridors of ogres, since ogres were big sacks of EXP and HP that didn't auto-attack much, just had big, predictable, easily-dodged swings.

    Also, with mob-scaling, the level 110 isn't two-shotting the dude before you can land your hit.

    Demonhunter intro also ends up with you being 50% through level 100 at the end of it, which was nice for the beta pass where there was only actually 8 levels worth of quest exp in Legion zones. Course, that 50% will be wasted on anyone who makes it during the prepatch

    Lambholt pacifist is hilarious in all these bant matchups, totally breaks parity, and allows absolutely brutal openers. EDIT: Wheels fell off the bus in the last couple rounds, was still a very fun event. Had to play against 9 4C Rites decks, so I'm glad I picked a deck with a good game...

    I would guess Grove and Horizon Canopy have a solid chance of being Mythics in MM3. But the Expedition Canopy may mean no to that.

    A thousand times this. It's like all the Stonemasons in civ are also Drill Sergeants, so they have to choose between building shit or training troops. Fuckin Defias Gang shit going on.

    Random writers calling it the end because they can't process that the "support units" are just barnacles attached to actual units to give them a modular benefit; it's still effectively 1Unit Per Tile.

    A lot of the secondary benefits from leveling up crafting recipes are broken or NYI for individual ranks atm, but it should be a pretty nice system once it's all working.

    GP Charlotte apparently shit the coats. Event software is broken so pairings are being done completely at random, and half the event dropped after round 4 to get refund-badge. Makes me excited for what Passtimes will do at Minneapolis next week to assert their dominance as "Terrible Event...

    Not really. You can play magic duels "free", but it'll take a while to cobble together decks/collection There are third party platforms like xmage and cockatrice that are actually free, but they're very "sticks and twine in a cave" construction, compared to true programs.

    Cryptolith Rites is definitely a card that is either busted or pure garbage, and it currently leans on the side of busted. What horrors will abound once Languish rotates, if we don't get a replacement 4 mana "conditional" wrath. And yeah, the B/G deck isn't the best competitive choice. I...

    Be a bit hesitant on buying into the decks using Dragons of Tarkir/Magic Origins power-mythics, the expensive ones (except Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, Collected Company, and Kolaghan's Command) are pretty much useless in Modern, so they're going to crater a bit post-rotation (Which is in ~4.5months)...

    The original EDH banlist is mostly just "Cards Sheldon Doesn't Like" which is defined as "Combo Cards that aren't green, and expensive cards Sheldon's playgroup doesn't have enough copies of for all their decks," and "Cards Sheldon lost to too many times." Which was fine, because in the...

    EDH is great with a consistent group of like-minded players. Much like any casual-play format. The problem is finding that group for you.

    The Shock lands are also only 1x-2x ofs in decks (with a few exceptions, hi scapeshift!), thanks to the Fetches, which lowers their price threshold.

    Also, something you'll learn as you play more, 2 life is worth less than the tempo-hit of a land coming into play tapped much of the time (but not all of the time). Most uncommon lands are worse than the Shockland rare cycle because the "important" turns in the formats where the Shocklands are...
