This might be a good idea, but Wizards kind of messed it up already.

Ten Movies From My Collection I Like to Show to People
Is this topic really of any interest? It is to me. Or at least it’s just funny to me. This is more about the weirdness behind being a movie fan, when you find you have dug yourself deep enough.
Building the Nemesis in RPGs (My Way)
I’ve been playing the old Arkham PC games recently. I like those games, but they have made Batman less interesting as a character to me. He is just too morose. Playing with Catwoman in Arkham City is much more fun. But this is about the bad guys.
Failure of March of the Machines Double Legendaries
I don’t know what to call them or if there is already a commonly used name for them, so I’m calling them that, double legendaries. I have a lot to say about them. Not much of that is positive. Note that I’m not criticizing their playability. I’m here to talk about them from flavor point of view.
Dungeons & Dragons – Honor Among Thieves Review
TL;DR: A fine movie. If you are into action and don’t mind the extreme fantasy setting, you’ll like it.
The Weird Assumption that Players Can’t Distinguish Between Reality and Fantasy of RPGs
So, let’s start with the RPG witchhunt of mid-1990s in Finland…

How to Approach Sideboarding (Mathematically, sorry)
Note: I understand that you can never get exact numbers, but that is not the point. The point of this is to give you an idea on how to think about sideboarding, because it is easy to make mistakes with it.
I Think Magic Arena Is Making Me a Worse Person
For the record, I decided to stop using money on WotC in general after the Magic 30 debacle and I am not going to start spending money on the game until they make huge changes to their management and philosophy. Obviously, the amount of money I used to spend is not going to make a dent on their margins, but at the same time, if I don’t feel like I’m contributing to the game the existance of which is actually worthwhile, why should I use any money, when its making me feel bad?
The Magical History of Red’s Impulsive Draw
Red has struggled to find its place in the card advantage game. Back in the early days there was Wheel of Fortune
and similar effects, which had a lot of potential, but were also highly situational. Then there was looting like Faithless Looting
, but in order to differentiate between blue and red, this was nerfed into rummaging, where you discard first and draw later.
While rummaging is still going on regularly in cards like Thrill of Possibility
and Big Score
, red has also had impulse draw for a while now. Like so many other recurring mechanics without an official name, this has been named after the first card where it appeared, Act on Impulse
. Impulse draw is basically card advantage, but only available to you for a limited time. I have limited this specifically to exiling the top card or cards of the library and being able to play those cards within a specific timewindow. I have disregarded any Alchemy shenanigans, because I don’t want to take those seriously. Also, I’ve left out anything that lets you play those cards without playing their manacost or lets you play from your opponents library.
