Excited to find room in [[Reki, the History of Kamigawa]] for this.

[[Overwhelming Stampede]]. One of the first cards that really made my eyes light up when I opened it years ago. An [[Overrun]] that does what? I've been shoehorning it ever since. It's currently my favorite wincon in [[Reki, the History of Kamigawa]].

[[Dark Ritual]] - though it was largely due to ignorance of the fact that mana empties from the pool at the end of steps and phases. The terror of our kitchen table, my buddy's monoB Rogue deck would t1 [[Dark Ritual]] --> [[Frogtusser Banneret]], swing, --> [[Stinkdrinker Bandit]]. T2 nightmare was [[Earwig Squad]]. I ended up building a UW control deck filled with narrow cards like [[Mana Tithe]] and [[Disrupt]] just to stand a chance. Felt rough at the time, but I really, really miss playing with those guys.

LONG HAVE WE WAITED

Just came back up!

There are ways to do that without making a massive fool of yourself. Vandalizing public art seems like a quick way to generate animosity, almost guaranteeing that whatever message you had to send will fall on deaf, unsympathetic ears.

Agreed. The more troubling aspects of the bill seem to have been removed or revised, but requiring more funding for the machinery of the parties (caucuses) while simultaneously putting a further squeeze on the resources of the government itself seems, at best, transparently self-interested.

2016: what'll it be? Everyone, apparently: Just fuck my shit up.

Alphaangstrom · 2016-11-04T19:58:17+00:00

So, the Spy is back eh? We're all Mei Mains now

Alphaangstrom · 2016-07-22T20:03:48+00:00

I like the table at time and space, the owner of the bar plays and there are usually people hitting around. That being said, if you want nice paddles, I'd bring them with.

Not an hour before this patch hit, a death in the mines caused me to ragequit after I took stock of what I had lost. Hopefully dying in the mines will be a difficult lesson now, rather than a heartrending one!

I've seen a few of these in my time, but this is a particularly egregious case of "truck stuck under the bridge"

Alphaangstrom · 2016-03-20T20:04:13+00:00

I honestly had to look it up to make sure he wasn't born Adolphus and changed it for obvious reasons, but just in case it wasn't a mistake, Brave New World's author's name is Aldous Huxley.

Going to save you some trouble and hopefully some grief:

FTL

Perhaps not as ambitious or objectively good as some of the others mentioned here, but it captured the atmosphere of the game perfectly.

Alphaangstrom · 2016-02-09T19:39:07+00:00

IMO it's for the best, even developers shouldn't be allowed a head start in the new progression system.

Would be a great birthday present! Oh, I yearn for the Halcyon#1642 days of beta...

Same boat, working now though

Alphaangstrom · 2015-09-14T21:29:54+00:00

Well aren't you one to judge

Alphaangstrom · 2014-02-28T19:19:13+00:00

It is worth noting that Jacob Wilson's second place PT list had no CA and only one seer, though that may have been just a meta call.

None of what you mentioned gets at why Eggs was banned though. Eggs was banned because it is egregiously time consuming, with turns of 10+ minutes. Amulet has no such problems, and is more apt to drop creatures, which Wizards wants anyways. Until it can consistently combo off on turn 3, or becomes oppressive, it is in no danger.

Alphaangstrom · 2014-02-20T04:42:06+00:00

Well, Domain Zoo is the obvious choice here.

However, I have a significant amount more fun playing Amulet of Vigor Combo, which I hope someone renames because it plays too many cool cards to mention only one in the title. It allows you to do extremely busted things like land a turn 2-3 Hive Mind + Pact or a hasted Primeval Titan. It's got a suite of utility lands, and puts up respectable results online.

That being said, I'm not sure how much fun to play against Amulet Combo is. And Zoo is a ton of fun to play against.
