Sounds pretty great for new players.
Hopefully it actually suggests like Loot Hoarder as Thalnos replacement and not Amani.

But it has a flaw. Let's say I am in the lead, and necrotime to beat is 24 hours. I can just post a new post every 18 hours and make it impossible for anybody else to score a point.
You can't score any points either, so why bother?


But you are in the lead, so you are playing optimally to win.

Edit: @Hadock - how do you enforce that?

So, if I understand correctly, I now have post 40 or more seconds after you to get a point, and next person needs to wait like 10+ minutes, and so on?

If so

You are right, but I never called it plagiarism, I said I hate the name. It doesn't have to do with WotC, it has to do with players. I feel it is very tacky, to say at least, to take such an iconic name that means a lot to quite a few of your target audience.

It's a sad game for me where I tried to convince everyone that Tables was fascist and as a result was considered fascist myself.

But he was so cuddley :(

It's not just tempo/aggro decks (tho it does shine in Delver variants) it's all blue decks - combo and control too. And by blue decks, I there also are decks that splash blue for FoW. I've seen dredge splash FoW. DREDGE.

It is very iconic, it is just such an important piece in Magic history. It is omnipresent in all eternal formats, has this unique ability that no other cards have (tap out, counter anything, no questions asked), it is one of most recognizable blue cards, highly sough after (and pricey), represents the Magic of old that we probably ain't ever gonna see again, and even tho I'd agree art ain't particularly good, Terese went and became probably the most beloved MTG artist. So, yeah, we love it very much.

I do not care about Dr. Pepper so I do not take insult from Dr Thunder, but if I saw an obvious cheap knockoff of a brand name I would, 90% of the time, skip it.

Insult comment was a bit snarky, but I do hate the name. I do not buy that if you want to compete with a product you have to rip-off a iconic part of it. It would be like if League of Legends was called Sentinel vs Scourge or Omniknight or something.

Pretty lame that when Dragons of Tarkir in MTG came out, HS done Blackrock. Now when Eldrich Moon comes out in MTG, HS is apparently also doing some eldrich horror.. coincidence?

I agree more or less with what Faust said. But I wouldn't exclude the possibility that gkrieg is Hitler.

Also Grujah as president is not possible after Tables, but ADK is. I would actually prefer to skip ADK, so that Faust/Tables can be the third government.

Would he really kill a liberal even if Hitler? I doubt that.

So this is a "if we killed a liberal we are screwed anyway, so we will just assume that we killed a fascist?"

I can stand behind that.

I will shoot later tonight. I'm shooting among tables/egork tonight. We know that one of them is fascist. Right now I will probably shoot Egork because he has a possibility to be hitler and has acted more like a fascist.

Can you say why Hitler would select F out of FL right after he was confirmed liberal?

Basically any review of Secret Hitler mentions that Hitler should play as staunch liberal. But look how after 3 F laws everyone and their mothers want to appoint someone who may be fascist, but not Hitler at least.

You wrote that.  ;D

Yeah, I'd support a Tables goverment most likely.  Like, if he chooses me or faust.

Calling it now: Tables, faust and ADK are fascists. Who is Hitler - that's another question
so you believe gkrieg drew FFF?

Magic with better art

Art (and theme) is the very first thing that completely threw me off this game. I like seldom anime here and there, but the FoW is really not my thing. Also land(crystal) deck was fine, but I don't think I found rules attractive at all other than that.

Also, really, FoW? I take insult.

You need to learn/determine one big thing: what's my game plan?

First you need to determine who's the beatdown and who's control. In most cases, you're the beatdown: you are the faster deck and need to close the game quickly. Unless against other hyper aggro decks like Aggro Shaman you might be the control. And I'd say usually only if he gets a fast start with Troggs, as usually he is mostly burn and you are mostly creatures.
Than, you need to know how you win.  Most of the time, you win by attacking face each turn, only killing minions when they are a threat that can reduce more of the damage output in upcoming turn than you lose by killing them. You usually clear them with weapons as that loses you momentum/overall damage. In rare cases, against a another fast deck, it will be a race to deal 30 damage so you might need to recognize when you are losing the race and start contending the board.

Now, Healbot doesn't help you with your main plan at all. When you cast it, you used 5 of your mana for subpar body and you get yourself.. what? Some health back? Does it really matter? You are pressuring your opponent, your shouldn't be under the pressure yourself, you are not really advancing your game plan. What you are doing is applying less pressure, and giving them additional turn, which might be enough to stabilize. If you played a charger for those 5 mana instead, you'd be going in the right direction.
It does help you with the race, true. But a charger would help with the race as well. There are some nieche matchups where it actually does matter (Druid perhaps) but overall it does not give you what your deck needs, either.

Good job fascist. Tables plays spectacular game, everyone seems to think that only scum would lurk (why scum would lurk here of all games?). 3F now would kill town completely (if Arch or me is killed fascist can just shut down any goverment, chances for liberals to win are minuscule). Grrrr

Scum would lurk as less info = worse for Ls. Why is Arch lurking this heavily, that I do not know.

Jaraxxus is a good card (MUCH better than Mistcaller), but he does carry a huge tempo loss, but great way to easily get it back too.

Not sure how many of you actually played the Erdard Lord, but he doesn't really bring anything to board when you play it. Yes, you can attack, and thats it. You need to have a clear board or be taunted up to not get steamrolled. Yes, 6/6 add up, and you win most of the time you get 1 or two out, but you played nothing (w/o Emperor shenenings) the turn you went Oblivion, so unless you manage to recover the turn after (usually means re-clear the board and/or taunt up), you can go down easily. Ok, you are less likely to die to some less bursty classes, but even against Pally I find myself in this weird spot where I just cant aford to lose a turn Jaraxusin'. Even if he just goes Boom that is enough presence to threaten possible lethal if you cant deal with it.
 
@Awaclus - Jaraxxus won't let you go to fatigue, most of the time. You need to deal with 6/6 each turn and than find a window to burst him (Ysera Awekens/Grommash is the most effective). Edit: at least I dont. Vs warrior you are the beatdown and need to wear him down before fatigue.

Yeah, when you're running something in your deck that you can't really play before turn 9, it needs to do stuff immediately. Like, it needs to have charge, or a battlecry that actually does something that's relevant now, and it also needs to have a pretty big body if it's a minion (or whatever it does needs to be extremely powerful if it's a spell). Mistcaller doesn't do anything immediately and it doesn't even have a big body.

Yeah, you've just played a 4/4 for 6, you will need a lot to recover. If you were behind on board, you going to lose the board. If you were even/ahead, you've given opponent chance to catch up. Sure, your guys from now on will have +1+1 (or +2+2, w/e) but how much till that actually recovers you? And why are you putting yourself in that situation in the first place?

Same reason why Jaraxxus is not as good as one might think.

and for most cards those +2+2 might not matter than much. Like, you'd have way less trouble by just playing some good cards on 9, and than following it up with Alkir / Rockbiter instead.
