The return of 2018 standard Simic Flash

Wizards sure did release a trailer for Edge of Eternities. Didn’t say much, though.

“you may instead create that many tokens that are copies of enchanted permanent.”

Finally, legal squirrellink!

Space-Time Anomaly

End the turn or extra turn? What do we think?

In several years, This Town will join the glorious list of cards that make people go “why did this random draft chaff get banned?”

At this point, we need to amend that saying about how mechanics are either clones of kicker or split cards. They can now be clones of kicker, split cards, or adventures.

Tic Tac Together is team-based recursive tic-tac-toe. When both teams try to claim the same square at the same time, they have to fight for it by playing a subgame. Or a subsubgame. Et cetera. It’s surprisingly strategic. How much board control should you give up to secure a contested square?

I’ve heard good things about Sunderfolk but haven’t played it myself. It has hex-grid tactical combat with co-op done via smartphone, so only the buyer of the game needs to share their screen.
