    Then they can be outcompeted by Blizzard in yet another genre. What an interesting business strategy! :eek:

    I've been wanting to present more of my own take on this, but I hesitate because there are so many possible factors in this discussion, with nothing so concrete that it can really be pinned down. I want to avoid interpreting these changes in a "back in the day" sort of way, or to place too much...

    Sliver Deck I Traded For...and it's Standard-legal, technically.

    Anyway, Sliver Queen has a special place in my heart. But really, like a touched on in the "Magic Memories" thread about it, Sliver Overlord's power in a dedicated slivers deck is crazy. No reason to use Sliver Queen as commander over Sliver Overlord except style points or if you have a deck...

    Archenemy: Nicol Bolas preview

    On a somewhat related note, I have this item on preorder and thought, once it comes out, we might try getting four people together to try it out on the Games Run board. We tried Archenemy once before but it got abandoned. This time the decks are set up for us, so no one would need to find a deck...

    Innistrad Event Decks: Spidey (Hold the Line) vs Oversoul (Deathfed)

    Yeah, it's a grey area for sure and dependent on what you'd have to respond with. In hindsight, obviously not attacking didn't work, so I'd have gone for it because I had nothing to lose. And if I'd been more familiar with these decks, I may have seen that beforehand as well (although I also...

    M:tG MMO?

    The 1997 computer game has those things, just as a single-player game rather than an MMO. I think a lot of MMO games use a third-person view. I know the game is super-old, so it seems like a big leap from something like it to a modern MMO. But like, a newer version of the same concept is Puzzle...

    Innistrad Event Decks: Spidey (Hold the Line) vs Oversoul (Deathfed)

    I did some mental math and concluded that you'd probably gain enough life off Butcher's Cleavers to withstand my attacks, but there could easily have been more favorable lines that I missed, especially if I'd acted earlier on. I could make a whole lot of spiders, but once you killed the Boneyard...

    M:tG MMO?

    Yeah, that possibility occurred to me, but I'm hoping they do something more to make it special. Oh yeah, probably. But I mean the old 1997 computer game as an example of a computer game that got it right. Obviously they don't want to just copy that game entirely, but it did a great job of...

    I generally agree with the things that others have been saying in this thread, so I'm not really saying that anyone is wrong. But one thing that we haven't really emphasized, which Abe Sargent touched on and I think is key, is that some portion or aspect of the change he's concerned about is, in...

    Innistrad Event Decks: Spidey (Hold the Line) vs Oversoul (Deathfed)

    Well, I'm past the point of no return (no possible way to avoid being decked). So I scoop. I had a several potential outs at first, but one by one they got milled away (drew Ratchet Bomb eventually, but it's too late to use it before I'm decked). I felt like a bit of a rube when I realized that...

    M:tG MMO?

    https://crypticstudios.com/magic No idea just what form this'll take. But they could make a modernized version of the old Shandalar game and I'd play the crap out of it. Hoping it's something along those lines. If it's not heavily employing some version of the card game itself, this seems like...

    Notably, Ugin is of useful in decks that quickly ramp up to large amounts of mana quickly because it has no colored mana requirements and can be used to gamebreaking effect if not dealt with very quickly. In tournament play, this has mostly been Modern Urzatron and Legacy 12Post decks, but for...

    I mean, realistically, we could have been pretty much certain that there was going to be a Bolas planeswalker in Hour of Devastation since there was not one in Amonkhet and Dark Intimations referred to it in Aether Revolt. While WotC is going to try new things that seems strange, not putting a...
