I think you're thinking of the wrong game?

Schools of Magic? I'll just leave this here... But to actually respond to this concept, I notice that Liliana of the Dark Realms is not in their section for planeswalkers and mana acceleration, like Dark Ritual or Elvish Spirit Guide, isn't in their table of different game effects.

I don't know how much it comes across in text, but I think the main idea was Psarketos's sense of humor in that he is expected to bring "goblin tribal" as in a deck based around the goblin creature type and cards synergize with goblin-type cards, but he goes and actually builds a powerful...

Well, I'm in big trouble no matter what, but I guess I'll have to sacrifice my giant unblockable River Sneak otherwise I'd presumably die. :(

New Doomsday are looks great. Rishadan Port was possibly the most needed non-Reserved reprint up to this point. More Lightning Bolt is good. I like this. This is good. I am happy with this. Don't buy Masters sets specifically or don't buy new sets at all? If you avoid Masters sets...

Oh! Yeah, that's another factor. Multiplayer games get all nuanced like that. On a kinda related note, Tribal Game 13 was one of my favorite games I can remember playing in, and not specifically because I won in the end. There was just so much stuff going on. Mooseman and I trying to outdo each...

Likes for the like god! Yeah, I'd forgotten that those trophies were a thing. I assume the XenForo setup was made that way to serve forum communities a bit more, uh, populous than this one. I'm still waiting on my trophy for "Most times someone saw the 'submitted message is too long' error...

You forgot Kelgar, your friendly neighborhood hammerpriest!

Definitely. I can speak pretty well for my own intent, I think and also for some other cases beyond that, but a lot of this stuff didn't end up getting documented. And I'm not really even sure how much intent matters. When I played dragons, my intent was that I'd try to take over with big...

I had some car trouble and didn't get back to this. Was picking up my mom from the airport and my car battery gave out while I was in the middle of heavy traffic at the airport arrival lanes late at night, so that was fun. Anyway... So far we've got as a marching order that Carrow will be on...

In response, Selesnya Charm to give my Guildmage +2/+2 and trample ueot.

I think you brought that up before at some point. I forget what I said. I do think that's a valid consideration. Calling something "Tribal Wars" seems like it would lead people to the expectation that the format is about the tribes. And we even tried the "Lowlander" deckbuilding restriction to...

Doomed Traveler, done. Spidey: 17 Hand: 5 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U,U,U) Forest x3 (U) Burning-Tree Emissary (2/2; When ~ ETB, add RG to my mana pool) (U) Skaarg Guildmage (2/2; RG: Creatures I control gain trample ueot.; 1RG: Target land I control becomes a 4/4 Elemental creature ueot...

UUD, Plains, Wake the Reflections (copying my centaur token), attack with a Centaur token. Blocks/responses?

Expected Value. A statistics term often applied to situations involving games. i.e. the EV of placing a bet on red on a typical Roulette wheel is -$0.053 per dollar (of course you don't lose 5.3 cents in any transaction, but that's the average "value" you get over time). MTG finance nerds try to...

Likes for the like god! I did a full recap at some point, but I really do blame myself for most of it. There was a bit of a misunderstanding when I tried to propose switching the format from using Vintage as a template to using Legacy as a template. I did a poor job of explaining myself...

While I was typing the previous post, they spoiled Dark Ritual. I'm sold. :D

Spoilers are here for Masters 25. As I've noticed tends to be the case early on with set spoilers, first glances at set composition can be deceptively mundane. Even well into "spoiler season" for a new set, I am left thinking, "There's nothing good here." It takes a while for the dust to settle...

Pillage is getting reprinted in Masters 25. I approve, in principle. However, every Pillage reprint has been a bit of a letdown in that only one of them reused the original Richard Kane Ferguson artwork and zero of them reused my single favorite flavor text ever.

A lot of us were introduced to the game by essentially being thrown into it and allowed to explore. We weren't learning under the guidance of experienced players, so we learned the rules as we went. Our first decks didn't make much sense and might have been "the cards I own" or "the red cards I...
