Always play whatever new class they add in expansions, they start off well-put-together, OP, and super fun. Then, the Blizzard Patch Machine gets to work making them homogenized, dull, and annoying.

I did like that they found a conceptual way to make how often you "die" and stand back up make sense without make you some kind of shielded-by-the-gods zombie murder hobo in-setting like every other MMO. Instead, your morale breaks, you quit the fight. Also allowed for non-magical healers...

I mean, this one came from listening to players during design. Players harped on about wanting "player reputation and skill" to matter, so they put in a mechanic that pariahs the retards. Of course, they overlooked the fact that for most casual content, you need retards to pad your way up to...

May he drop more bombs than SOE.

Sealed Pool Procedure Update Starting with GP Sydney and GP Madison | MAGIC: THE GATHERING In before the 1-in-10,000 chance of two pros on the same team sitting across from each other whines on reddit.

He's good at Mediocre. A lot of false positive came from him taking something that was asspiss and making it Mediocre, which seemed like a great step up at the time. Mediocre looks less enticing when it's the baseline, not the fix. He was also a pretty chill guy to talk with, for what...

Mounts are okay as long as they don't force you to use Luclin Models.

I doubt Smed would invest in Pantheon, the design goal isn't a mobile cash shop game, so it goes against the soul of Smed's futurist game design vision.

Well, Jace's seeing limited play in Legacy, moderate play in Modern Grixis (3 Blue Jund decks landing in the GP top 32, plus Open/5k Appearances), and was like half of the field at the first open of the new standard format. And he's from a set that's really shitty Expected Value per box, making...

It's like this because LGS have spent the last decade pushing a narrative that they're poor down-trodden charities that you are morally obligated to support at all costs. Once they got their foot in the door with the actual-limited product (Early FTV), they proceeded to jam it directly up the...

They've already told distributors there will not be a restock for Fat Packs. Now just wait for Oath of the Gatewatch, where Wizards prints 18 million fatpacks

Fatpacks are a fun gambling man's product this time. Saw 2 expeditions cracked from the same fatpack last night. I opened 10 Oran Rief Hydra in my 4 fatpacks...

Expansion "reveal" livestream is amusing, people completely forgetting what the expansion features/lore are, on stream.

Some Bards went to Oasis to fight Sand Giants at level 5...

Thanks for the heads up on being able to bank quests. Was really wasting time on the earlier exp bonus items.

Yeah, I started this back up yesterday, got in-game, and my friend immediately noticed me on and went "GOD DAMNIT RAF REWARDS." Leveled a new character to 35 today, definitely much better without the bear-asses. It feels kind of pointless to actually use the complementary exp boost items, so...

It's significantly easier to find 10 competent players with near-100% attendance with personalities that don't involve making you want to tear their molars out through their urethra than it is to find 20 or 25.

Time for the Nestle corporation to invest in space travel.

Lie about finding a massive vein of gold and get yer budget back!

Got a feeling expeditions are going to be here to stay. The not-angry-finance-people-on-the-internet reaction to them is basically pure excitement. Our pre-release participation numbers across the city have been way up this weekend, and most of the stores are nearly sold out of their initial...

Scry Rule is resolved before "If ~ is in your opening hand..." triggers occur. If you put your Leyline into play before Scrying, you've missed your window.

But how am I to force truly terrible puns on people without voice chat.

No, the common card with Gideon in the picture that deals 4 damage to an attacking or blocking creature. My rares were pretty much unplayable, just a good chunk of common/uncommon removal and durdly Eldrazi. Seen some silly ally decks today. Should be a much better deck in draft, where you...

Won our midnight prerelease an hour ago for a box and a half (Payout on Oct 2). Breaker of Armies and Kozilek's Channeler are best Eldrazi. Super durdly format. Red Eldrazi were pretty effective walls to hide behind until you could cast the real eldrazi. Vile Aggregate even scaled decently...

The kit is a Deck Box containing 6 packs, a storyline sheet, a d20 and a random foil promo. I am extremely happy the seeded pack is gone. Now we just need to go back to having a non-sealed-deck-usable, mythic pre-release promo and we'll be back to proper pre-release form.

You'll eat your vegetables and you'll like them young man, there are starving players in europe/australia who don't even get to have a pre-release this weekend due to underprinting the prerelease kits.

Lawsuit settled, Hex gets to move forward. Now "safe" to spend money on, at least insofar as paying cash for pixels is ever a "safe" choice

Lumie actually dies during each of these dates. He then regenerates as a new Lumie, lacking memory of the old Lumie, but maintaining much the same personality, beliefs, and vocabulary.

Comic Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans.

The Comet just landed on the other side of the Ice Wall and they're covering it up.

It's not his fault, the mods raptured him before he could do much hyping.

But the continent is going to tear in half in the middle, yellowstone is going to explode in the north, the entire coast west of the rockies is going to fall into the ocean, and the entire ocean in the east/south-east'll jump up onto dry land. The only safe place is like... newfoundland.

The missing part of the V and the middle of the R look like the checkered flag from the finish line. Pantheon being a Group-Based Fantasy-Setting Virtual Racing Game Confirmed. Except instead of the racer, you play the pit-stop crew, having plenty of time to socialize while waiting for the...

Pretty sure this kills the Jeskai. On the plus side, Esper Control is looking nice. That 2/3 that gets back an Awaken Spell is going to be really nice value, since there's an Awaken Counterspell, Awaken Wrath, and Awaken Hero's Downfall.

I tried to light a candle in vigil for Red's Burn Spells, but there wasn't so much as a spark left.

Picked up Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, plays pretty well as a boxed game. The suggested decks have some pretty lop-sided matchups, but the multiplayer seemed to work fine.

This is the lesson of Everquest Next.

Best multiplayer CCG that's been made. I don't think I ever actually played a single game of it 1v1.

Yeah, it's been in the top 10 selling CCGs the entire time its been in print. Course, there's a 30 mile gap between the top 4 and the next 3It's been a long slow decline into nothingness. Company just finally crapped it up enough that they had to sell the IP off to recoup costs. On the plus...

Not really Magic related, but today's been a weird day for me, CCG-wise. Legend of the Five Rings ended today. Been playing that CCG since I was 10 years old. It's so weird when one of these games, that always seems to just be there, just poofs. So many friends and memories you just kinda...
