It's very weird to me seeing how adamant these cards are about mixing flavor text and rules effect text. With expectations set by stuff like MTG where flavor text is in an italic font at the bottom of a card or Hearthstone where it's not even on the card itself, the format of stuff like Alaskan Wolf...

The Stormlight Archive genuinely takes a tremendously long time to get rolling. Normally Brandon Sanderson is a lot better about being punchy, but with The Way of Kings he simply isn't. At all. Multiple kilopage bricks of prologue is basically accurate. I happened to end up liking it, but someone re...

Why do people keep responding to silva threads? He's even resumed his old habit of filling the board with a billion barely-distinguishable Grand Theory topics. It's just that he's now a bit more circumspect about calling TGD favorites the worst-designed RPGs ever and hailing PBTA as the system that ...

If you slice it up so that not every subgroup is meaningfully present in every location, what's the strategy to avoid the trap option situation you identified here ? Or is the idea something like this geographical heterogeneity of distribution only really applies to NPC factions, and since there's a...

At a glance, it seems like PBTA evangelists have really good experiences where their particular MC is a great storyteller and has cool ideas for scenes, and then they attribute that to the system Unshackling Them From Petty Rules. It's obviously not impossible to have a great actual-play experience ...

Huh. Just missed a chance to check out an interaction I'd never considered before. What happens if Seraph Lapis, Glory Be is destroyed on the opponent's turn? I assumed that the card text is that the owner wins the game, but maybe it's the current player? I should've tried to play Bahamut to see if ...

I'm trying a Jabberwock deck, which right now is basically just a Ramp Dragon deck with a slightly funky curve. Instead of 2-cost followers, I have Goblins and Ivory Dragons, I ditched Israfils to free up a cost slot, and I dropped Grimnir for Goblin Leader. It seems to work okay, although since I o...

Yeah, I think Shaggro getting hit is a much bigger deal. The thing is that LB is already an incredibly slow response to Nephthys, so if things have reached that state the deck is probably fine. Getting better inevitability on turns 8+ is fine, but actually surviving to recovery turns like 6-8 in the...

It seems like Nephthys is back, and capable of really amazing recoveries. I'm still figuring out what works best against them. Ouroboros turns out to be a star player against Khawy, since unlike most of the rest of your threats Ouro dies outright during the combat. So Khawy's Last Words gets directe...

I'm not sure how worthwhile Lightning Blast is now when Odin's right there. For two mana more, you get a 4/3 body. I guess Lightning Blast is still nice for when you want to combo it with a 3- or 4-drop. Lightning Blast + Rahab or Lightning Blast + Dragoon Scyther could be pretty sweet and you can't...
