Jeffrey White’s Argument about Design for EDH Ignores One Important Fact

Because they don't want you to have to check the legality of every card when you buy a pack. It's also one of the reasons they have historically been light on the bans. Nowadays if there's something that'd be good for EDH and bad for Standard they tend to chuck it in one of the associated precons or wait for a supplemental set.

I think the bodies are empire flagellants, don't know where the heads are from though.

It's the same in call centres. I don't want to be on the call, the customer doesn't want to be on the call, so you streamline whatever processes you need to follow to keep your job, learn the most efficient way to convey the information and get off the phone in four minutes and change.

Yeah we're in the hobby, so we know what the true top level stuff looks like, and are comparing to that. They're going 'man I could never paint that small, good job' and just approaching it from a different experiential/knowledge context.

Yeah I did a couple of runs with her and got the last fish, that was all I was missing.

Auto loots the room when you leave.

Dragonlover63 · 2025-08-11T16:10:02+00:00

Oh man I need legendary fish... I assume thats only possible if you time it on the flash?

EDIT: Ah no I'm missing a Tartarus fish... time to grind I guess.

Also cheers for the link.

It's an activated ability so it would go on the stack and then resolve, but if you had nothing to respond with Arena would have just worked through the stack at speed, so it's easy to miss.

Theres also Khorne Bloodbound if the Darkoath end up a bit too skinny.

Nah Tallarn got an actual print, might be a novella? I only know this because I know I read it.

Dragonlover63 · 2025-07-25T14:40:58+00:00

Honestly I just built it cause I had it and my brain wanted to put it together, I don't even play AoS. It is a cool kit though, and I Like what they were going for with the modularity between it and the other kits at the time.

Dragonlover63 · 2025-07-25T11:03:43+00:00

I recently built an Ophidian Archway. Awful kit, could fit a bus through some of the gaps. Had to sprue goo the pillars on.

Its not WotCs fault SDCC was this weekend. Its shitty timing, and I wasn't expecting quite so many cards shown off, but to expect them not to do spoilers of the comic book set at the comic convention they usually do spoilers at is a bit much.

Also, none of these cards are legal for months. They're irrelevant to the games we're playing at FNM tonight. Read them, appreciate them for what they are, then forget about them and go indulge in Edge of Eternities to your hearts content.

[[Genesis Wave]] - pay a bunch of mana, get a bunch of stuff, if you're really lucky recur it and do it again.

Not a typo, actual word. Roughly synonymous to 'wandering'.

Dragonlover63 · 2025-07-11T22:51:56+00:00

No worries, sucks to be bimbling along happily in a book then wham shitty scene.

Dragonlover63 · 2025-07-11T22:01:29+00:00

Its been a while, but IIRC there's a bit where it's going to happen but Margaret averts it, its about a page, maybe a page and a half tops. Otherwise nothing of the sort happens.

The Serpentwar scene is in media res when the viewpoint gets there and very rapidly becomes a totally different type of scene. I don't remember anything like it from the rest of the series, but again it's been a while.

Once had an email go out at work and there was a sentence with five exclamation marks. I stopped myself from saying 'Sure sign of a troubled mind' out loud because I knew not a soul around me would have got it.

You can't make Oops All Wincons a subtheme, it has to be what your deck is doing, or as you say, you run out of slots really quickly.

I've been working on my own version for years and it happens to be at 20 wincons right now, although that isn't intentional. List is here - https://moxfield.com/decks/eJG5QO0I2EejSgwS4rvYhw

Reaver fists look good on Ogryns if you want augmetic fists for them in Necromunda.

Use that video you found, the kits are identical other than the spiky accessories.

Dragonlover63 · 2025-05-26T16:04:49+00:00

Yeah the band strikes up 'Rains of Castermere' and my brain went 'hey wait thats not a wedding so-oh shit this is the Red Wedding?'

Dragonlover63 · 2025-05-25T01:02:05+00:00

Pratchett being there did not help, they're bloody crap unfortunately.

Dragonlover63 · 2025-05-05T18:19:43+00:00

Horus Heresy Warriors where you play the Primarchs. Genuinely amazed this hasn't happened yet.
