The Gaming Den

Mostly the fault of the US?! PL are you on crack? Like before last month maybe the ooga booga NATO expansion line would have been plasible at least as whataboutism, but in the past month has made it clear that this invasion is motivated by tawdry and indefensible irredentism. Putin isn't commiting c...

I NEED AN ADULT

I am an adult.

So I've been still drifting in and out of Shadoverse. I'd say that they've managed to avoid repeating the mistakes they made with Wonderland Dreams. They've even managed to do what they were trying to do with that set (take a theme that's anchored in a set of neutral cards and then have each craft t...

Yeah for a lot of people even if they've never played D&D they've played some game N generations descended from D&D

“What’s the fucking point, ISP?” He's trolling, and it's not even high effort trolling. ISP is a chud, he doesn't actually believe what he's posting. He's just gotten it into his head that he can "own" us by acting as a caricature of a "Sorcerous Jackal Wiseguy" and throwing aro...

Didn't we already do this whole song and dance years ago, like it boggles my mind that ISP is a fully grown adult.

Yes ISP a RPG source published in 2004 was bad. Let's not beat around the bush here we all know what you're about. Can we cut to the part where you start ranting about the Skeletal Jaguar Warriors or better yet the part where you get owned and slink off back into whatever festering warrens you inhab...

Doesn't the Chairman break ties anyway? I don't see how this changes things fundamentally. Any defection from the majority party means the bill fails but the fact the chamber is 50-50 already means that is the case.

and a motion for impeachment.

Edit: Of course I read the letter, I quoted some of it even and like the NYT I don't see how what I quoted implies any but Impeachment. Honestly I'm not interested in arguing narrow semantics. What would it take for you to believe that Pelosi is seriously doing impeachment and not just cravenly kick...

The NYT summary of that letter said impeach, so I assume Impeachment is what is being considered.

“Today, following the president’s dangerous and seditious acts, Republicans in Congress need to follow that example and call on Trump to depart his office — immediately,” she wrote. “If the president does not leave office imminently and willingly, the Congress will proceed with our action.” What ac...

Pelosi just said today that impeachment will go forward if Trump does not resign immediately . If I had to guess the reason Pelosi was making noises about the 25th yesterday is that it could have been logistically faster to arrange. These various backroom shenanigans are happening not instead of an ...

Trump's on his way out and the Democrats are on their way in. What the fuck are you blabbering about, Mistborn? :confused: Have you've been living under a rock the past few days? Trump ordered the people at his seditious rally up Pennsylvania Ave. Then those very same goons were let into the Capito...

"Donald Trump has incited a literal putsch therefore it's more important now than ever to unite against the real enemy, the Democratic leadership!" - Kaelik as far as I can tell.

Here's the thing, people who play spellcasters want to play characters who cast spells. Shitting in their Cheerios by having their spells not work or force them to roll on table 420: "hilarious" random mishaps would need to actually balance the game in order to justify itself and it never ...

"I for one trust Cap'n hobbly with my life"

"this is a mistake! he is not called Cap’n Hobbly because he is good at hip replacements!!!"

In the cascade environment, were there competitive decks that didn't use that mechanic at all? There was always the various builds of Bant which happened to not have any of the generically good cascade spells in their colors. Those decks along with Superfriends would eventually edge out Jund and Na...

That's a very aggressive statement, and the majority of MtG players would disagree with you. Cascade was well-received. It has a powerful mix of upside, controlled variance, and it gives free cards which players love. I think that article touches on almost every reason that Cascade is popular. Play...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/kind-acts-randomness-2009-05-04 I don't think this is all that good of an article given that it exists to justify Cascade, one of the worst mechanics ever printed. Like cascade and miracle are the go to examples for mechanics that amplify t...

I did have fun with Zendikar, which he 'criticizes' because few did: http://blog.killgold.fish/2015/02/kill-reviews-zendikar-block.html I don't really grasp what the criticism is, but I only played that set casually with allies and landfall aplenty. His beef with Zendikar era standard is threefold....

Affinity was never the problem with Affinity, like no good version of that Deck even played Broodstar and cards like Myr Enforcer, Frogmite and Somber Hoverguard are eminently reasonable to the point that the Modern Affinity doesn't even play them anymore. The reason why affinity actually won games ...

"Banning politics" in the way reactionary nerds often demand is untenable for the Den, but let's be clear that's not why fbmf did what he did. Rather the discourse in the General Election thread got so bad that our site owner would rather delete MPSIMS than continue read it as part of his ...

Let's all get real here the Den is in a deathspiral. First we just lost one of our most prominent content producers and now an entire fbmf has been badgered to the point he feels the need to nuke an entire subform. I think we all at some level know what the problems are, but for the life of me I don...
