Jun 3	comment	Should we take good cards out for better cards while sideboarding (magic 2014 rules update)? @deworde: Alex P discusses the extreme case - Battle of Wits deck - pretty well in his answer. For a 60 card tutor deck, everything I said still applies. You still want to maximise the chance that you'll either draw your key cards, or draw the right tutor.

Feb 11	comment	Why is Homelands considered among the worst Magic expansions? @thesunneversets: Sure, Legends wasn't an all-time great. But at least it put new ideas into the pool; Homelands didn't. (The legendary mechanic wasn't revised until much later, and it still owes a lot to the original. And I submit Planechase in evidence that Enchant World is not dead, and should not be. But we're moving off Homelands, so I'll shut up.)
Feb 11	comment	Why is Homelands considered among the worst Magic expansions? @thesunneversets: I don't think it's just the few "marquee" cards... Legends was at least exploring new design space. Multi-coloured creatures, cantrips, Enchant Worlds, Legendary cards - all new and interesting at the time. While few Legends cards are still relevant, most of its mechanical ideas are now staples. Homeland had no such innovation; its few new ideas were specific anti-strategy targeting.
Feb 8	comment	Is Dimir's millstone strategy viable in Gatecrash sealed deck? If not, what can they do instead? Welcome to the site Jonathan. While I back this approach in draft, in sealed deck I don't think it can be counted on - there's too little chance of drawing evaders and finishers.
Jan 29	revised	Is Dimir's millstone strategy viable in Gatecrash sealed deck? If not, what can they do instead? Made question less dependant on the prerelease (which is time-dependent), and more about Gatecrash generally.
