MTG Salvation

I might volunteer in exchange for certain promises from the others, especially if the Demon player is winning by a lot. Can't attack me for two rounds, you have to use a certain activated ability to my benefit, etc.

@Stardust: Yep, it's the Demon's Dilemma... I have a feeling this is probably just gonna be a 5/4 flying for 3BB in 1v1 games as I don't think your opponent would want to draw two cards for such a price, but how would it do in large multiplayer games?

I would have trouble choosing what to do. Everyone choosing "Do Nothing" is clearly best, but if that's best, someone's likely to take advantage of that. Uh, like me, for example!

I've got a similar card in my game, Merchant's Dilemma. Each opponent secretly chooses to take a gold or not. You gain a gold for each opponent who does. I guess that's more like tempting offer directly...

Nice one. Thopteria, aka Kaladesh.

I haven't seen the newest Bourne movie yet. I also missed the Jeremy Renner one. I don't watch as much as I used to because I'm not in the video industry anymore.

The Jeremy Renner one was much better than I was expecting it to be, but I was expecting it to be pretty terrible, so not great overall. Probably better than the new one though. The Bourne Identity is one of my favourite movies, and by far the best of the series, so I feel like I should give these other movies a shot. Especially when they keep casting my favourite actresses! Usually I'm disappointed though.

Demon of Cruel Decisions 3BB
Creature - Demon [Mythic rare]
Flying
When Demon of Cruel Decisions enters the battlefield, each opponent secretly chooses 'take the money' or 'do nothing'. Then each opponent reveals his or her choice. Each opponent who chose 'take the money' draws two cards. If an opponent did, each opponent who chose 'do nothing' loses 3 life. If all opponents chose 'take the money', each opponent loses 6 life and you draw five cards.
5/4

Demon's Dilemma!

I watched Jason Bourne last night. It wasn't very good. Nicky was always a favourite character of mine, and Alicia Vikander (despite being one of my favourite actors) was a poor substitute in the story. Also, way too much techno magic ("There's a cell phone in the room! I can remote into the computer and delete the files!"). 4/10... maybe 5 if I was feeling generous.

When Mournithopter dies, return it to your hand at end of turn.
If you don't give me a nice eulogy, I'm not coming back.

Whoops, missed the mark with that last one, I fear. As if we needed to make Storm Crow even more powerful than it already is.

Took a new job recently that starts in earnest January. I suspect I'll have time for a mafia game here and there in the future, but let me get my feet under me first. Have fun with this one.

Don't worry. It's covered in a thin layer of MgO. Handling the stuff in an oxygenated environment (ie: the atmosphere) is quite safe.

Those two are also on my list, and also yet to be seen.

Hmmmm. Metal dice? Sounds intriguing.

They aren't much good for rolling, but the weight difference is incredible. They look more or less identical, but one is 11x heavier than the other. It's pretty cool to hold them both in your hand together, and the look on people's faces when you pass them the light one followed by the heavy one is priceless.

I'm a materials engineer who plays a lot of tabletop games, so when I saw these online, they called to me.



Kank, yeah, I'll probably go see it, though maybe not until the new year. You going opening night?

1) One pair of safety glasses.
2) Two dice - one magnesium, the other tungsten.
3) Three whiteboard markers.

FYI, moving is hard work. Our house is looking more or less like a house should finally, after two days hard labour. Just ignore the random crap piled here and there, please.

(Also, Let It Go (from Frozen) is not technically a Christmas song, but I tend to associate it with the season as well. I suppose the same can be said for several other songs from Frozen as well.)

I must confess, Frozen is actually one of my favourite movies. Top 20, for sure.

Also, I like the hippo song.

Aside from that, I had a great time ! So how are things for you?

Good! Had a rough couple of years there without you guys, but things are going well now. I'm happy. Seeing the interior of my house for the first time today at 3:00 too! Hopefully I don't hate it.

[The Crafters] are gonna party like it's 2012.

Hi Grey! How's it going for you these days? Been quite a few years now.

That is a strategy, but it doesn't always work out. If each other player competes against you once, then continues to compete against you (as you compete against them), they get the same amount of gold as you every time - except that one time they got 3 and you got 0. At the end of the day, there is no perfect strategy. It seems the most successful players are usually shifting alliances several times throughout the game. It's really way more fun than I ever thought possible.
