    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.

    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...

    As they show more and more of the set, this feels like some weird social experiment where they're testing how terrible they can make the average rare and still sell packs on strength of cool lands.

    It's too bad there's 25 card in the cycle, so there's unlikely to be a "god pack" style thing floating around. Although judging by how frequently they've been fucking up booster box packaging this past year, there'll probably be a random box with an expedition in every pack just due to print...

    Buying a case opening week, and selling cards opening week, should make you your money back with a lot of excess cards remaining for use. Prices are probably going to crash on the bulk of the set rather quickly though, so I'd get that shit out the door ASAP release weekend. Also, god help...

    He looked so much more comfortable once he was sitting down. The Oreos bit was amusing. The cursed charm bit lasted way too long to be funny. Will probably take a while for Colbert to adjust to filling twice as much air.

    We just haven't seen our Lotus Cobras/Emeria Angels/Rampaging Baloths yet. This iteration of landfall has been pretty underwhelming, comparatively. Of course, we've seen like, a fifth of the set, so there's more to come.

    And Vanguard stole the funding for Mythica, a game that had looked genuinely non-shit, and significantly closer to being a AAA title at the GenCon hands-on.

    It's bad for the game when your opponent's cards lock you out of playing your cards. It's good for the game when your own lands lock you out of playing your cards. /Rosewater

    If you want to play a Good MMO again it's more realistic to invest in a Time Machine Kickstarter and go back to whichever period of whatever game you thought was best, rather than pray that 40 monkeys on keyboards can randomly produce something non-shit.

    Yep. You can also gather up all the "gather a trophy" quests from Gorgrond ahead of time and use those as the final slam dunk before your potion runs out.

    With flying added, I wonder how efficient it is to level alts via just flying around scooping up all the treasures. With heirloom gear, it's like 5% of a level per treasure.

    I doubt they ever unban JTMS, even if he'd be balanced. It's too much negative publicity. The only sustained *reduction* in player base magic has experienced since Alara was Jace's standard reign. You're dealing with way too much ill-will directed toward that card. Related, MaRo has said...

    The packs that contain the foil full art BFZ Duals should also be equipped with a greeting-card-chip that plays the Sad Trombone sound when you open it. And yeah, it's going to be a pretty cheap set to buy into in the singles market, pretty rapidly. Also, the fact that Fat Packs are...

    We can't melt it because its legendary affix "transforms" it into its own purified version, so they consider it silly to tack onto non-ashbringer weapons, I'd assume. "MY FURNACE HAS BEEN PURIFIED. IT WAS ACTUALLY ASHBRINGER WITH A BRICK TAPED TO IT ALL ALONG."

    Haven't tried cubing yet, when you melt down an item to cube that has one of the "range" legendary attributes (EG, "Increases Damage by [30-40]%.") does it snapshot the random number you had on that legendary, or does it just do the max value?
