Re: "Strictly Worse" Cube
Actually, a cube list does exists, built around the "Gatherer-Terrible" Format, (in which the only cards legal are cards with a rating of 2 or less on the gatherer) The Gatherer-Terrible Cube, mind you this list is a year or two old now, so ratings may have changed a little bit. To my unde...

Re: Thinking of starting some streaming: Advice?
Yeah, it's only noticeable if the people watching are fullscreening on a 1080 or better monitor, and even then, as plenty have mentioned, 720 still works fine. You just don't want to be any lower than 720, and if you can do 1080, it's certainly better. I used to stream, and I probably will once agai...

Re: Custom cards - Playability assessment
Ah, no, I was torn between two names. And realize: This is basically an indestructible, and harder to cast Phyrexian Arena for you if your opponent activates it once. But, I suppose to make it a real Phyrexian Arena, regardless of whether or not your opponent uses it: -------------------------- Form...

Made the life drain symmetrical. Form of the Demon - BBB Enchantment - Rare Indestructible 1, Pay 1 life: Draw a card. Place an ascension counter on Demonic Ascension's controller.

Re: Books you're reading now
I would recommend either Cat's Cradle or The Ocean at the End of the Lane , they're both tragic, heartbreaking, yet, ultimately, hopeful, and uplifting books. Out of all those, I would have to say Stranger in a Strange Land , while still an influential book that people should definitely read, is my...

Re: This thread is so gay
Tell what the story needs to tell; with a well-conceived character, I find they tend to define themselves in your head, and you should let them do what they want to do, not force them to do what you want them to do. Look at how other writers have portrayed closeted characters. Ask yourself; is this ...

Re: Custom cards - Playability assessment
I feel like you should have an upper bound on the number of counters that can be on it. Although I guess if you make the number too high (Graham's Number, anyone?), it'll just sit there and do nothing. Seems like a fun minigame card, actually, and the cost is high enough that you can't just go "...

Yeah, Khans occurs in the present. I believe Fate Reforged will be the set in the past, with the third set returning to a wildly different present day.

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
Also, regarding an earlier point about special actions, mana abilities are also a weird thing here that don't use the stack, although, to my understanding, they aren't a special action, just a special classification of ability that doesn't use the stack.

Re: Watch + Play
Why... WHY does the developer think that long camera pans of someone walking are a good thing to use ever. I swear, it's what 50% of all of the cinematics in the game are. The other 50% of them all is a mix of bad dialogue and dancing.

Nah, I think this block will just be the resurrection of Ugin via wibley-wobbley timey-wimey stuff. EDIT: Also, looking at the set as a whole (or rather, as whole as it is spoiled so far), rather than as individual cards, I think I'm liking the set more now. It certainly comes together much better a...

Re: The KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANs of Tarkir Spoiler Thread
Honestly, the creative for KTK is the only thing I'm excited for, plus the new Sarkhan. The rest of the set I'm pretty unimpressed by. which is nice, because it means sitting on boxes until the price jumps will be easy. Definitely a "buying singles only" set. I think it's because I'm tired...

I can't understand how Mojang can so easily call out Oculus Rift on selling out to Facebook when they're considering selling out to Microsoft at the EXACT SAME PRICE POINT, and they don't even have the benefit of the costs of hardware mass production to use as a reason for the deal.

Re: LRR Minecraft Server
Yes, Likal, I know that that's what you meant; it's certainly not feasible with what's in place at this point. It's why you constantly hear the term "frontier hubs." These would serve as rail hubs far from Spawn with a teleport line to/from spawn, and potentially a mini-market/level conver...

Re: LRR Minecraft Server
That's how the rail system initially started out, but the issue is, as new rail stops get added, the hubs get congested and it just sort of organically sprawls into winding branching paths, because to maintain that would require reworking multiple lines whenever a new one was added. I could see it g...

Again, yes, if you fuse a card, you cast them both, left to right, as a single effect on the stack.

Re: The KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANs of Tarkir Spoiler Thread
And it plays well with wrath effects. The main thing I'm not sure about is why it's Sultai. The card seems more Abzan.
