Jul 2, 2019Kryptnyt posted a message on A New and Exciting BeginningI guess two sites trying to 'compete' is ultimately the best for us all. No shortage of Magic fans, and there is a shortage of polished card search engines / card discussion.Posted in: Articles

Sep 21, 2018Kryptnyt posted a message on The Limited Archetypes of Guilds of RavnicaGetting a seeded booster in sealed makes it less likely that you'll be in strange colors, but splashing seems very viable with the available fixing. I think it might end up a very bomb-centric sealed format.Posted in: Articles

Nov 30, 2017Kryptnyt posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemThat's fair. I didn't know about any Wolfenstein outcry. If there's flamethrowers in that game, it makes a lot more sense I guess. I still don't think Nazism has anything to do with cosplay however.Posted in: Articles

Nov 30, 2017Kryptnyt posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemIf the problem is hate speech then the solution is reason. It doesn't matter if you convince the offending party as long as you convince everyone else. If you are advocating violence then you are automatically in the wrong.Posted in: Articles
Then again, maybe when you say flamethrowers are the answer, you're just joking around and people should just not take you so seriously. Do you advocate for Jeremy then? Because I don't. -

Sep 8, 2015Kryptnyt posted a message on The Running Tally of Current Sets for September 4, 2015The purple/pink thing isn't working out. I think even you are confused as to which denotes an increase and which is a decrease, just look at some of those set summary pluses and minuses. Though the temptation to deviate is strong, you must overcome, and try the traditional red/blue out.Posted in: Articles

Greater Good - your commander is cheap and potentially very big, and discarding permanent cards enables it
Smokestack and Grave Pact can be great value engines that keep the board clean
golgari grave troll is the dredgiest card
Sewer Nemesis is very big and mills you
I like that Life From The Loam is already in the deck. Definitely goes hard if you include Exploration, Burgeoning, and fetches in the deck, though that can be an expensive avenue of upgrading the deck.
The new Squirming Emergence card seems absolutely stellar for reanimating your Altar of Dementia or the like.
Finally I'd recommend Living Death and Bojuka Bog
Bouncelands are definitely a lesson in virtual card advantage. It's pretty easy to translate a bounceland play into "I played a tapland and drew a card," but the same advantage is given when you play an Ancient Tomb. Not a lot of people will be able to identify an Ancient Tomb as card advantage when asked, they usually just see it as fast mana, but as long as you're willing to spend a card to put a land into play, spending a card to put two mana sources into play will make your card resources go further. In Legacy this mostly means you get to trim land count from your deck. In Commander it means your curve may be a little higher.
It's all Tarmogoyf's fault
I'm wondering if the Fallout 3 version was more memorable, or has a better name if they want to have a Jet card, but that's a great idea.
Is Latinx just a way of saying "Latino or Latina or Latin-other?" To include all three in the same group. Traditionally you'd say Latinos to refer to everyone in the group, and that works, but some might reasonably accuse it of being sexist. Shrug
I agree that D&D rakshasa are different from the magic ones, and even though they are indeed shapeshifters, their true form is as a cat-humanoid. The Tarkir ones can really be anything they want them to be.
I think the reason "Tribal" is a problem is a little more sinister than you guys describe. People speak of tribalism and culturalism as a reason for why racism is perpetuated and why different cultures don't integrate well into the American system. It's a good discourse to have because we need people to come together and stop hurting each other, but not everyone is ready to talk about it, and certainly not during a preferably politically agnostic/neutral game of magic.
On nagas becoming snakes- They probably should have been. It would be nice to see Viashinos become lizards. Maybe some zombies and vampires that are clearly human can become Human Zombies/Vampires since we have Elf Zombie/Vampires, Cat Zombie/Vampires, etc. Just more consistency would be great.
"Abuelo's Awakening" has me rolling, Abuelo just means Grandpa in spanish. "I stored my soul in this poncho!"
