CCDD 032014—Blind Levy

Cool Card Design of the Day
3/20/2014 - In some ways better and in some ways worse than Silence, Blind Levy exists because white has dabbled with cost-increase effects for a long time, but never at common. Ironically, this could easily prove broken below rare. At least it's simple.

CCDD 031914—Mnemonic Sorceress

Cool Card Design of the Day
3/19/2014 - I wanted to use devotion to blue to determine the quality of spell this card nets you.

New Player Perspectives: Session 2


[New Player Perspectives is the ongoing story of my non-gamer girlfriend's introduction to Magic.]

A month had passed since Freyja's first game. Not ideal, I know, but both of our careers require a ton of extra work around Christmas. (She's a choral conductor; I'm a baritone.) I offered to recap the rules, but she elected to jump right in and pick things up as she went along. We used the same decks as in the previous session.

CCDD 031814—Bridge to Anywhere

Cool Card Design of the Day
3/18/2014 - Last June, I proposed a land called Bridge to Anywhere that would help alleviate land screw. Today I offer an updated version that eschews shuffling and is less powerful (which is good, because that makes it more usable at common—the place we want most of our fixing).
