DMX... Yes, I want to see them play it out. In Canadian football, the clock stops after every play within the 2-min warnings. A simple rule change for a better game.
Fetts, yeah, IDing is part of Magic... And that's what finally pushed me to quit. It seems so counter to the idea of a game that you can extract a benefit from NOT playing.

ID'ing can't be removed, because players can easily just draw intentionally by playing slow/poorly. Basically, it would be impossible to enforce. I don't mind chopping up prizes in top 8/4/2, that's an EV situation. But I would prefer if more people played it out.

... which the Leshens ALSO do, especially Justin.
There are penalties for slow play; I think people don't call it enough, thus weakening its efficacy. If you play poorly intentionally, well, hey, that's your problem.
PLAY. It's a game, and that's what you do with games. You play them.
EDIT: Was listening to Francesa on my (short) drive home from work. He was talking about the play in the Giants game that everyone's been talking about (where TB "violated" the Giants' victory formation play). Why should the Giants have the right to squat the ball, ever, when one score changes the game on either side? 42-3 is one story; the Giants led by a touchdown. The knee is NOT an NFL rule, at all, and no team is expected to honor what is, in effect, the one "gentlemen's agreement" in football. The NFL defended Schiano. If you listen to Schiano's comments, he basically said, we play to the whistle. I respect him for that alone. It's the same reason we don't always scoop when we're at 1 life. When Jesse almost made that bad judge call against me, I was putting my opponent at 1. He won that game. Imagine if he "scooped" while I "took a knee." PLAY THE ****ING GAMES.
(super-late-edit: didn't cheers almost scoop out of a stack game he won recently?)
The only way to remove IDing would be with a Magic Online clock system, but that just isn't doable in paper.
Um, I'm pretty sure that's what they do in some variants of chess (speed chess being one, I believe, where you have a limited amount of time per game).

Kneeling has been a gent's rule for a HOOOOOOT minute now. Schiano pulled a college move that basically every other man in the NFL sneers on. Schiano better run every play till the end now even when he's ahead cus his boys are going to start coming under fire if thats how he wants to roll.
That's not true. Though usually teams don't have an incentive to run plays off a victory formation, they can and have. Defenses also sometimes do that if they want to catch a team sleeping on that play. The reasons the offensive formation tightens up into the victory formation are to prevent moves like Schiano's and to protect the ball in case of a poor exchange.
I'll admit, it's not done frequently, but it should. The fact that the NFL itself is explicitly defending Schiano's right to call that play is an indication that running a victory formation play should in no way mean that the defense is required to stand down and let it run.
Taking a knee is a cheap way out, especially when one score changes the game. Why should they be denied the chance? If the Giants are truly the better team, then it shouldn't matter, no?
EDIT: How could I forget this? I gotta see if I can find it on YouTube. I remember the Dolphins were down one score to the Jets, but time was low and they weren't close. Fins went to take a knee... and Marino fakes the knee, pass, touchdown, Fins win. Yeah, gentlemen's agreement my ass. - Wait, I saw the video and remembered, it was a fake spike he'd hurried up for... That's also kind of gentlemen's agreement as well, when you call for a spike, what defense rushes the passer? The Jets half-played the play because most of the team expected the spike. Only a few guys figured it out - one because he had a clear view of Marino after the snap, the other because he was on the receiver.

Yeah, that was one of the Iconic plays that Marino made that solidified him as my favorite QB.

I can't lie, it was a smart play, it made sense, and it is still surprising that so few coaches even try plays like that. No one expects it now, and most QB/WR combos can pull that off.

I'd rather discuss the cube here and not the blog, if that works better. If we choose the blog, I'll copy the below as the blog post we'll comment off of.
So, I'd like to whittle down cards from the pool (the available pool is ~1100 cards) to get to the good stuff. Then work out color and curve to get to a 360-card cube (unless anyone can make a case for a larger one). I'm already working on it, but I'd certainly like your input as well. If you'd like to begin discussing anything, I'd say let's start with the 135 mono-white cards... What's automatically out? What's automatically in?
Back to the previous topic.....MirroCube, white review.
Okay, to prevent this from being a WALL OF TEXT and having everyone hate me massively, I'll put everything behind spoiler cuts. Should save space. And no, I'm not covering every card. Just most of them.
I will say this - white probably got some of the best cards in Scars block that straight-up win games, but their overall pool is not as strong as some other colors. Still, a mono-white deck within the MirroCube is likely feasible, provided that the card spread isn't too wide.
CMC 1:
Yes
Dispatch
Glint Hawk
Marrow Shards
Salvage Scout
Steelshaper's Gift
OK, I'm going to do something similar. But I'll be a bit more descriptive. I have the advantage of having every card in front of me instead of using the link. For the record, I'm going to have all the cards that are not definitely out available as the cube is built in case we identify changes. I want to change on the fly.
I've identified two potential subthemes for white: Equipment and Lifegain. I'll identify cards that may be better should the subtheme be necessary.
Watching:
These are the trump cards for the subthemes. Auriok Survivors - With a lot of Equipment, someone's going to bust one. Victory's Herald and True Conviction can be good on their own, but with a Lifegain subtheme, they seal the game, pretty much... Especially Conviction.
Um, I'm pretty sure that's what they do in some variants of chess (speed chess being one, I believe, where you have a limited amount of time per game).
The main problem is the fact that priority passes constantly back and forth between active players. It is damn near impossible to keep track of the time each player has to respond to each game action in real time. Chess on the other hand has each player getting alternating turns where accurate time can be counted.
Makes you wonder if magic will ever move to a solely digital product.....
Yeah, it is. I'm almost finished putting that stack together, too.
A few of us should assemble one day soon at my house to maybe speed the process because we will have the cards.
If we do, it'll have to be a weeknight or weekend, and definitely not until after this Friday. As you may have seen on Facebook, the ****-mobile that is my car needs new brake pads, and I'm broke right now. So yeaaaaaah, some things need to be taken care of first.
What do you have going on this Saturday night? I could make the trip out then.

Haven't seen the FB yet. But weekends was what I was thinking. Saturday night should be fine. Anyone else who wants to come through my way is welcome.

Edit: OH NO! is probably right that the volume of switches of timing would be too chaotic to implement a "speed chess" style clock system. I hope they don't move to online-only, ever, because the thought of paying all that money to not actually own what you're paying for doesn't sit well with me.

Thank you sir. I'll see if Akida wants to join us if he's not busy.
Spoilers almost done and OH MY GOD UTVARA HELLKITE I THINK MY KARRTHUS DECK JUST CREAMED ITSELF ENTIRELY. And my Kaalia deck. And my Rith deck. Sweet mother of crap, that is DAMN good in EDH. Doubt it will see play in any other Constructed format, but I couldn't care less. This might be one of my new favorite cards in all of Magic. I already love Dragon Broodmother for its ability to make dragons. This makes EVEN BETTER DRAGONS. And combined WITH Dragon Broodmother.....okay, now I need a new set of pants. Excuse me a moment.

Okay, nerdgasm over.

Also, Akida is a no go for MirroCube building. So it'll be just me. I'll probably take the train to save my car a bit. Let me know where and when I need to be in Brooklyn.

Yeah, making it through that nonsense is nice. That said, I think I'm going to start searching for other work soon. It's just too much to put up with now.

Not a problem, DMX. But I think you need to review my Karrthus EDH decklist. Of the 38 creatures in that deck, 27 are Dragons (may or may not become 28, depending on what I cut for Utvara Hellkite). I don't need MORE dragons, I need THE BEST dragons!
