Bejeweled with spells and crap.

You asked this last year when Oath won too! :p

Perhaps as befits my membership on a site called the Casual Players Alliance, I don't actually attend many tournaments. I've planned to at various points and had schedule conflicts or other things come up. On Monday, I was already working morning and afternoon in Seattle, just a little south of...

I've played it a little. It's a bit buggy, but mostly enjoyable. Seems like it could be an improvement over the DotP series.

Gogo Mooseman.

But it hasn't even been a year yet! Anyway, playing this with the physical deck was a mistake, at least with the timing of this, but I've now unpacked the box that had this deck in it, and I still had it set up, so let's see... UUD, Ezuri, Renegade Leader (draw a card off Primordial Sage)...

I can hardly believe it, but after all these years, I am finally caving in and playing Standard. I mean, I haven't actually taken this to FNM yet or anything, but I did build a Standard deck, so there is that step taken. An actual, Standard-legal deck is sitting on my desk in front of me right...

I'm bemused that you can purportedly not understand what I've said, then go on to use different words to express the same thing that I'd said.

While he doesn't explicitly state that all of the information they're getting is from in-house testing, he does say... Considering that most of what he talks about is dealing with alternative versions of the mulligan, I suspect that most of this is gleaned from in-house testing. There aren't...

New article submitted. Yeah, took long enough. I alluded to it, but there have been some obstacles to my aspirations of continuing this series. My crazy work schedule is the biggest factor, but I also recently moved and changed computers, then kept putting off a return. While I do really like...

The one you made up? It seems like you're trying to get some sort of rise out of me by referring to the contents of my head. This is silly. From your wording, perhaps it's worth noting that data collection is a thing. Stringing the two words together creates a reference to a concept that is...

Internet Explorer still exists?

No one was talking about data collection with regard to this change until you made it up on your own. It is entirely your own idea, and yet I'm the one who is hung up on it? The best hope for "continuing the discussion further" is that it presents an opportunity for you to attribute a position...

It doesn't take that long, just too long for it to be a reliable kill by itself. If Goblin Bomb at been blue, it would have been a semi-popular kill condition in control decks at some point. The blue/red control decklist I made back in 2006 isn't great, but I think that it shows how the concept...

Well, if you go into things with your mind made up that it won't be changed, you'll probably get what you expect. I think that you're not even wrong. Lacking time travel, I can't say whether WotC will have observers recording data on mulligans at PT Magic Origins. Also, lacking time...

So, for example, the part about how Wizards of the Coast has an article up referring to tests and to player feedback, but not to data collection of game details from tournaments, is not a fact, but merely my opinion? Really? Oh. Well, in that case, perhaps we should discuss your claim that...

And how many of those threads involve Spiderman? :p

I agree. To be fair, WotC doesn't really bother with Legacy anymore anyway and if this type of mulligan becomes the new norm, it should probably be judged more for its effects in Standard and Modern (and maybe Limited formats), since that's what they had in mind. In their podcast about...

I've spent a fair bit of text explaining why I don't believe that this sort of data collection is going on. You've simply repeated that I don't know, without justifying that position in any way. Also, the article that Melkor linked to included a brief summary of what is behind the decision, at...

Absolutely not. They can make whatever decision they want, and I've admitted (a few times now, I think) that I believe them when they say they ran tests and listened to player feedback. That's all fine. They also made a claim about interactivity in games and have stated that they don't think...
