This was one of the most usual episodes I’ve ever listened to. Fantastic work.
Could yall leave a comment with a list of all the top 5s you went over corresponding to each archetype? Also, where were yall able to gather this data from?
I agree, I think having something that shows all the cards for us schmucks that don’t have them memorized would be great. If it exists 😀
I think the issue with W/B looking as unfocused as it did is that there are two separate decks there: an aggro deck and a control deck.
I don’t know if it’s just me but the “what a card asks of you” test sounds a lot like the children’s book “If you give a mouse a cookie”
So you guys are looking for a word that describes “How much does a card ask from me”.
Brian’s quip about Marshall’s girlfriend actually gave me what I think is a decent idea for a name – “maintenance”. Borrowed from the vocabulary about girlfriends/boyfriends, this is a word that already has this connotation for most people – a high maintenance BF/GF is one that, while he/she might be great, demands quite a lot of work from you to make things work between you.
Given that the word already has a use to describe something similar, I think it could be very intuitive for people to get the meaning behind the term immediately.
Even if my offer is not taken, I would kind of like to hear an episode about “maintenance” of cards and how that should affect my evaluation of them. I would also be interested to hear what word you guys come up with to describe it.
Keep up the good work 🙂
Demanding also works. Plus is more upfront cost rather than easy to get out but have to keep up with it afterwords.
Other synonyms that sounded pretty good:
arduous
burdensome
challenging
exacting
grueling (or gruelling)
laborious
onerous
persnickety
herculean – bonus points if it starts in the greek inspired set with this
taxing
toilsome
Awesome show and a great sign off by brian!!
Warchanter of mogis does have a home in BW grindy. If you have a couple oak of odunos and servant of tyramets with an oak u can sit on ur butt and hit through with his intimidate all day. I have lost some games in a stalled board state over it.
Great episode! I hope you are able to do this kind of thing for each set.
umm… wheres this week’s show? I respect having a dynamic busy life, but at least an update would be nice. WOW i feel like a naggy girlfriend, i wish i knew how to quit you limited resources 🙂
Marshall has been a travelling a lot for Magic coverage lately. Maybe that’s why…
My vote for word is conditionality. The card is good under certain conditions or under all conditions. Maybe contextuality or something using the base word context.
Actually I think dependence is a better term. It can be used in almost any context and is a very clear term. i.e. That card is very dependent. Oh that’s a very independent card. This cards dependence is on manager fixing.
Ugh auto correct. *mana fixing
