There are two ways you end up playing Jeskai. One is your U/W control deck wants to splash Red for additional point removal like the old Firemane decks. More often the reason you're playing Jeskai is that your Boros deck is improved by having counterspells in it, of course the odds of having a cheep...

So if you want to do M:tG you've got basically four options in terms of formats. 1) Draft/Limited: this is the format that 90% of cards are designed for and the one you will won't be punished for not having a collection. The upfront buy in is lower than any format, but of course you need to buy pack...

Re:Unsong, Scott touches on a lot of interesting ideas into but the actual plot in which those ideas swim is terrible. Things just sort of happen and characters move in and out of focus without coherency. This is because Scott two story ideas in mind (a technothriller with name magic and a theodicy ...

Man fuck that piece of shit at cygames who keeps on giving solitaire spellboost one turn kills while earth rite gets shit The recent sets were weighted towards Spellboost because the almost all the best spellboost cards were in sets that have since Rotated. But too be fair the backbone of Burn Rite...

So the new expansion is out and I've played some of with the new version of Spellboost Rune. There was a little worry over losing Smol Chimera but the fact that Fates Hand is back alongside the new 2pp removal spells makes up for it. The deck lost the old backup plan of vomiting out bunch of Flame d...

I like Atomy decks but hate how reanimate revolves around Zeus. Got into group A with an earthrite deck, elder Mage of dragon lore delivers surprise 5dmg finishes I got into group B also with earthrite, tried with aggro forest the previous time around but that was like banging my head against a wal...

So Reanimate Shadow is now a real deck in Unlimited (and also in Rotation but the rotation version isn't as good) Game Design wise, It's got the D-shift issue - in that playing against it, you are just hoping that the deck doesn't hit its combo(es) right, because there's basically nothing in the wa...

I've always been fond of Sufficient Velocity it's a pretty cool community. They mostly focus on amature writing with a sci-fi/fantasy bend, but the also talk about various other geek ephemera along with usual news and politics discussions.

But I was thinking that Pauper would be an excellent format to get into so that I could assemble a bunch of moderately priced decks that were all documented as being on similar footing, and then maybe even slip a couple other archetypes into the pool by putting desirable rares and uncommons in seco...

[MTG] the Prince and the Pauper
It's been a while since we started a new MtG so let's talk about Pauper. Pauper is a format where you can only play cards that were printed as commons. Despite this pauper decks are not as cheap as you'd hope but regardless it's still the least expensive format. It also remains to a degree an "...

Core Principal: Buy a Fvcking Bow
It seems like every other fvcking fantasy game design thread devolves into hand wringing about fliers with bows and how they give sword fappers the sads. Allow me to present a counter-proposal, buy a fvcking bow. Exclusively melee mundane fighter is a dumbass concept and as evidenced by the endlessl...

Something I've proposed before and not gotten any feedback from Frank on is slicing tiers into 1-3/4-9/10-15/16-21. Like the reason that basic is three levels is partly because it you can fit most of the lower specs monsters people are going to want to play into three levels and then have them be st...

So Daria has apparently taken over the meta (again). I'm not complaining given my love of all forms of spellboost but I'm sort of wondering why it took so long. Mysterian Knowledge came out months ago but it seems like only after all the top decks got nerfed did everyone remember who the best girl a...

Also, introducing single card restrictions at this point in the game is bullshit. Have the g...

So ass is my style of following the meta like a sheep I've built Burnrite. It wins games but even if it's fairly powerful it kind of inelegant to play. It feels kind of Jundy where it's just a bunch of individually powerful cards that don't really have a common gameplan. I think it's mostly Wizardes...
