The Thursday Card Kingdom draft sponcored by CardKingdom.com

[AdmiralMemo]

That Owl only really works in 1 type of deck. Also, as ColdSnap was basically an expansion of Ice Age, I think they really just went back to the older formulas of calculating the power of cards, which was pretty off.

[Dominic Appleguard]

It strikes me as one of those cards Johnny players see as a challenge. In a deck stocked with snow lands, it hits the board as an 8/8 flying, plus any other snow creatures you have in play already. And if that wasn't enough, it can become an 11/11 the following turn with its ability.

But, in Momir, unless your deck is full of snow lands it's 7 mana for a 1/1 with no abilities other than flying. Sad trombone.

Heads up that they'll be going live today between 4:00 and 4:30 Pacific Daylight Time.
(7-7:30 EDT or 2300-2330z, everyone else can do their own time zone math from there)

High five for anyone who already understands zulu time.

[Jenelmo]

Correct me if I am wrong but is Zulu time not the same as GMT

[the amativeness]

No. Zulu time is the same as UTC (coordinated universal time). GMT is the timezone of the british isles (and some other places). When DST is not in effect, GMT=UTC+0. Zulu/UTC is never affected by DST, but GMT is.

It is a huge pet peeve of mine when people use GMT as their reference point.

[Jenelmo]

It is because i am from Europe and allmost all countries in Europe changes to summer time the same day (Last Sunday in March) so i always is in GMT+1 so I did not think about the fact the North America changes to summertime around a forthnight before

[AzureAngel17]

I'm not sure how widespread the use of UTC is in other fields, but weather geeks use it for pretty much everything. Much easier to coordinate forecasts when everything is timestamped in zulu.


The rare-draft was a bit disappointing, I must say. Enjoyable games, still, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm secretly hoping they first pick a Crackling Perimeter every time they go live.

I think they intend to when they first-pack open a perimeter. They mentioned that the CP should have been there during the first pack when they were passed one during pack 3.

The rare draft was a bit disappointing overall, if only because they didn't get many decent rares they could use (and because James had them take out the Mind Grind ).

This place looks like as good a place to post it as any.

I ordered from Card Kingdom a little while ago and added in the special instructions that "LoadingReadyRun sent me button please", but I didn't get a button with my shipment

I'm not too sad about that since I want to make another order with them, but I'm not sure exactly what and where I need to put it in so that it works.

[AzureAngel17]

That's weird, I don't think it's automated. I just received Sorin v. Tibalt and despite preordering it before the button thing, mine included the button. I always start my comments with "LoadingReadyRun sent me," but I also usually thank them for sponsoring Limited Resources as well.

[billyjr82]

Do you use it as a coupon code, or in the special instructions?

[AzureAngel17]

I use the one on the last page of the order process, the text box above the "Submit Order" button that reads "If you have specific comments or instructions regarding your order, please enter them below."
