Apr 10	comment	Are weighted games in Goko Dominion adventures winnable by sheer strategy? There's some amount of luck in Dominion, so presumably with a hypothetical optimal strategy there's still some chance you'll win, and then the combination of sheer strategy and playing N games would suffice. So... what exactly do you mean by "fair" and "viable strategy"?
Apr 9	comment	How can I speed up a game of High Frontier? ire_and_curses edited your title to avoid asking just for house rules - often when you find yourself asking how to change the rules, there's another way to accomplish what you want, without mucking with the balance of the game. Very commonly with play time questions, the best answer is something along the lines of SocioMatt's last suggestion (essentially, figure out how to play faster), and it's good to phrase your question so that you don't exclude that kind of answer.
Apr 5	comment	Can I sacrifice a permanent to pay an ability cost while the permanent's spell is still on the stack? If you change your example to "suppose my opponent responds with an instant that would counter it (like a Dissipate)" then this would perhaps be a more reasonable question.

Apr 4	revised	Are items shared when hiding alone in City of Horror? tags, capitalization, full title
Mar 31	comment	Can I flicker Aurelia to get more than two attack phases? You'll need another way to blink her - Restoration Angel doesn't work on Angels.
Mar 26	comment	Why is Bang! so predictable when I play it? @Coran The benefits of disguising your role are potentially huge. The costs of shooting, say, one of the right people and two of the wrong people aren't really that high. And my point about information was that if shots are fired earlier, there's potentially some information (combined with banter) before any final all-out shootouts like you were talking about.

Mar 17	comment	What happens when you can't conquer regions? @Let_Me_Be You have to choose to either conquer or go into decline, and if you choose conquer you remove all but one token from each region, then attack as you like. So yes, you do have to choose to conquer, but that's not the same as being required to attack someone. If you don't have any tokens to do anything with, there's nothing in there that forces you to empty out regions in order to attack. (Unless I've missed something - please do point us to a rules quote if you have one.)
Mar 13	comment	Are counters (noun) physical things? You should just start with the d20s; be optimistic that you might put more than ten +1/+1 counters on that creature!
Mar 13	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? This is also kind of related: boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/6195/…
Mar 12	comment	Is a card set aside with an Island considered “In Play”? The flavor of the Island is supposed to be that you're sending things off to an island completely separate from the kingdom where all the action is taking place.
Mar 11	reviewed	Reject suggested edit on How do I build a Pokémon TCG deck?
Mar 9	answered	Diana Stanley dreams of a sunken city

Mar 8	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Can non basic lands be tapped for colorless mana?
Mar 7	comment	Can an indestructible creature die by a combination of damage and -X/-X effects? We like to avoid plain links on StackExchange sites; it's often more useful to readers if they can get the full answer just by reading what's here. You might consider editing in the actual rule that's included in that wiki page (700.4).
Mar 7	comment	Ensuring a game of Arkham Horror runs quickly even with new players I've voted to close this as a duplicate because, though the other question isn't about new players, the advice essentially all applies whether the players are new or not, and the remaining unique thing about this question is quickly teaching, which you've already asked another question about.
