magic would work better if your cards were randomized from all existing cards rather than from a pre-picked deck *gets nuthin' but land 20 turns straight*

There are a bunch of cards that let you poo poo out a bunch of mana on turn one. Then there are a bunch of cards that just let you either pick a creature and just play it or do the same but randomly.

So if you have some dark ritual , quick silver amuletl, emrakul, and some swamps you can bust that poo poo out quick. This isn't even a really good way to do because lol at ever getting that draw but the only one I could think off the top of my head. I know blue has some horse poo poo 2 or 3 mana spell that just shits out what ever creature you want.

A rather unfortunate logger indeed.
a friend and i pool cards and run a cube and we've had a lengthy discussion about high variance in cube drafts with another friend, who has his own power9/channel/etc cube

after many fair and balanced drafts with our cube, we decided to try his cube once and drafted it up, so i channel + emrakul'd 6 times in the course of 8 games (three times turn 2, the rest 3-5, thanks vampiric + demonic tutor), winning 8-0 and never coming close to losing

high variance is fun though i promise

One finds that this is the best of all possible worlds.
Rise of the Eldrazi was the best set for draft.

and yeah my deck mentioned above has Show and Tell, the aforementioned 3mana blue spell, and i never got to cast it because every game i had it in hand, i had already used a discard spell to check their hand and they had some big fatty so i had to go about it the hard way

one guy showed me sundering titan when i thoughtseized him so instead of show and tell i just armageddon'd with ancestral visions suspended and hosed his poo poo up

e: also balance, thats a fair card

My opponent waits
As I prepare
Should I choose a Zombie Crocodile
Or a Grizzly Bear?


Now it’s his turn
What will he do?
I await his trick
But he’s not through


He too plays a creature
I can tell.
He’s done with his turn.
Now I can play a spell.

This game we play
Of spells and creature.
We play it a lot,
This we know for sure.

Come and play.
If not, what a shame!

Love this game.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
I had a good friend in high school who was super obsessed with Magic the Gathering and spent hundreds of dollars on packs all the time just to play with his other group of gay wad friends doing the same thing. One time I asked him why they didn't just print out their own cards since they were just playing together and not going to official tournaments so whats the difference if the cards were legit or not and he got really pissed off at me.

Wouldn't getting this in turn 2 be pointless? You wanna get it late in the game when your graveyard is full so you can resurrect all your dead cards.
Probably. I don't actually know how M:tG works. It might be like Uno where you're trying to get rid of all your cards first.
