Draws from Faithless Looting sent. This is interesting. I had no idea how the game might go. Pack Wars is so random and with three players instead of two, in a set with so much diversity, I still have no idea how this is going to play out...

Beastmen fight in warbands led by old, savage warriors who have long since proven their ability to lead. They are powerful and very resilient fighters with big, brutish heads, sharp, piercing horns, and hooves that can kick in a man's rib cage. There shouldn't be any beastmen in the city of...

Throg drinks the beer. Throg is now extremely inebriated. "I have failed. Well played, mortal. Khorne must have smiled upon you this day. I think you'll make a great champion of Chaos. But now, let's celebrate your victory." Throg and the daemon party well into the night, searching the...

I had some possibilities mapped out, but this depended on the number of "wins" Throg had earlier in the contest. The more times he "won" a round, the less harmed he'd be and the more leeway he'd have if he messed up in the gin round. Throg did well enough that even drinking the gin undiluted...

The brandy seems to partially freeze the gin. Throg finds this mixed drink to be quite pleasant, and eagerly slurps up his whole portion. It seems that he has found a good solution to this puzzle. Also, he is quite drunk at this point. The bartender brings another round. It's hard to look at...

Man, I don't even like foil cards, but these just look so cool. I pulled two: Cataclysmic Gearhulk (meh) and Static Orb (not bad). Mana Vault looks amazing and if I had one, I just might use it over my Unlimited copy. Bah, Alpha Mana Vault is pricey. Some day...

Anticlimactic after the wait, I know. Anyway...

-The Power Phase is 6 for the turn. -A thug spontaneously throws himself at Ty hoping to take him by surprise, but... -Ty's Pit Training kicks in. Before the thug can reach him, Ty lashes out with his Pit Flail, eviscerating the man (9 damage). -Ty lands a knee strike on a thug, but the man is...

The daemon deftly catches the bottle of gin. Grinning savagely, he drinks half of it, then places the bottle on the table and slides it to Throg. An unearthly roar emerges from the daemon as his eyes bulge out and faint wisps of smoke begin pouring from his ears. The cumulative effect of the...

Same here. I think their attitude has shifted multiple times in the 12 years that Legacy has been around. But they really have developed a tendency to save clearly safe cards for "prisoner exchange" changes in which something leave the list and something else is added. Out of the cards I...

Still need to know what Throg's next move is in the drinking contest, by the way. Kelgar is around town and we'll get back to him at some point. As for the other three of you, of course the sentries attack. I'd meant to get to that fight, on my day off, but missed it. Soon, though. Soon.

Upcoming "fixed storm" card in Kaladesh that might be fun for a casual deck... This costs the same amount of mana as Tendrils of Agony, but to actually kill an opponent with it requires the chain of spells to work in reverse, with Aetherflux Reservoir already on the board before a bunch of...

Another round of no changes. Since I clearly cannot bring myself to take the time to write a real article for this, I'll settle for a forum post. I've commented on my frustration at the lack of changes in Legacy even when it would make perfect sense to make changes. And I've already written...

Well, the whole set is spoiled, and a cursory glance at everything doesn't reveal too many really promising cards. So I have mixed feelings because this set looks so darn cool and I like the mechanics and aesthetics more than any Standard set since New Phyrexia. But it's a bit underpowered...

Yes, that is exactly what I expected to happen. I was wrong, as noted. I had wanted to get better with the rules (still do, really), but I'm just too out-of-practice. I know the interaction must be obvious to judges, but I think most players are going to read the card and think, "It says the...

Yeah. I haven't had time to get a deck together. Even just going off a list, it might take me hours to dig out the appropriate cards. Of course, I guess I could just netdeck and fire up MTG Workstation, which would be much faster. I've grown used to actually using the physical cards, even for...

Yep. I think I've decided on a deck to start with, and once I have some time to dig through my cards and purchase a couple of ones that I might be missing, I'll have a deck...

Usually Spidey starts some thread about like every new set, but he went on vacation and didn't do that. So yeah, here's what we've seen spoiled for Kaladesh. It's looking pretty cool so far...

Well, I just stumbled on a ruling that notes I'm actually wrong about this... So I stand corrected on this point. However, I do want to emphasize that most of the issues I noticed had nothing to do with my own misunderstandings regarding the rules. There have been game crashes, hiccups where...

To be clear, I understood you. Otto either really is that obtuse, or he has some hidden agenda. But which one? :cool:
