I just love  how [card]Deadly Poison[/card] is a Nature spell instead of something that makes sense (like Fel or Shadow or no school). What's next, rogues running, oh I don't know, Earthmuffin Apprentice or whatever Blizzard comes up with as …

[card]Self-Sharpening Sword[/card] is flat-out better, and no-one will save poisons to combo with the Shank if they can get any value out of them in combination with SSS or hero power so the combo is unlikely to ever work.

Ugh. It's cheap and flexible, which might be to say it has many ways to be useless. If I had to assign an archetype for it at gunpoint, maybe Weapon Rogue, where one could use it for extra damage that …

Seems really good against aggro and stealth strategies, leaving aside the obvious hero power synergies. Seems solid in all formats.

NationaI PI day

Nice link with great info! Including that Pi Day is also Albert Einstein's birthday. If that isn't cool I don't know what is!

[card]Circle of Healing[/card] died so we can have this. Yay. Seriously, this only seems useful as a surprise lethal in an [card]Auchenai Soulpriest[/card] world or in a spell synergy deck, so weirdly this might be a tiny bit better in …

Quote From Alfi

Just to explain the sheer number of cards released, in 2020 MTGArena released the following sets:

• Theros Beyond Death (254 cards)
• Ikoria Lair of Behemots (274 cards)
• Core Set 2021 (274 …

Former HS player and current MTGA player here:

The economy of MTGA is better than HS, but not great. As Almaniarra mentioned, the starter decks get you going just fine. They aren't great, but they are enough. I started …

Exactly this. Particularly if you are running a low mana curve, you'll never go through your deck anyways and you'll pitch two cards you can't use any more in most cases. But I guess the "buffed" Tracking is great for... …

For the Horde!!! Better expansion theme so far for me since knights of frozen throne

Yeah, brings back memories. The [card]Mankrik[/card] flavor text makes me feel so sorry for him for all …

Former HS player on mac, so LoR not an option and stuck on 64-bit OS so Steam Mythgard also not an option. So that leaves Magic, which I like fine. It is more complex and has deeper gameplay than HS, …

Exactly this. But as a workaround I just noticed that typing into the browser address bar something like https://outof.cards/members/madcat/ works.

A congratulatory Snowball to our current cochampions Alleria and Pezman, and like Caro the final Snowball to Fluxflashor for an awesome event. 444 seems a fun number to stop at, so I will bank the remaining snow for next time!

Same here, and when I select Snowball (after I bought Candy Cane) sometimes it shows a Snowball and other times not (never the Candy Cane).

Hmm, methinks my forum title will become very apt soon...

Quote From Trimutius

Snowball fights are not what they used to be... Stupid global warming... Lately there is not enough snow to build a snow forts like we used to when I was a kid...

Hmm, a G god with a UB artifact on the flip side. Sounds hard to use. At least since one of the colors is G you can splash a color with [mtgcard]Lotus Cobra[/mtgcard] but still.

Edit: fix stupid typo …

I do. That hair! Ugh!

Foretell seems awfully strong, particularly if it costs no net mana. It lets you save a card from discard and other hand stealing/surveillance effects, stash a card from overdrawing, and spend unused mana for a cheap surprise play later. I …

Yeah, I got one (fortunately near the beginning of the expansion) using the gems from one of the promotional starter packages, and since then with the draft token, the gems, and stonks it has been pretty much self-perpetuating. But I …
