He could not do this on his own. All the ways he wishes he could be? That's me.I'm smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that he is not.

"I design cards...", "how I believe they translate...". etc. I mean honestly, if the process is that this highly casual player is the stand alone designer then Hibernum should be fired. If he is part of a team, then perhaps he shouldn't be such an "arrogant ****" and actually talk about how the team designs cards. Even if he is on an island he would serve himself well to talk as if he were part of a team effort. .

A quick review of his linkedin shows he has a decent amount of experience in the industry, and he likely does exactly what he says in the interview (why lie?). Also, he has shown a decent amount of character whenever he pops in the forums, so why all the hate?

Thuran said: The pros:- Very interesting to hear about the design proces, and whilst we might not like it, It does make sense to "budget" cards based on their rarity to ensue comparable power. It is actually not that different from how paper magic is designed, if they are making a common 3/3, the base cost is 2G for instance. Add on flying and the cost should be 3G. That is their starting point, afterwards costs are adjusted, and likewise cards of a higher rarity has more leeway in how they are budgetted. You will almost never see a 3/3 flier for 2G at common, but a rare 3/3 flier for 2G would not be out of the ordinary. So in that respect it quite fits. Also it is a good starting point for comparing cards and for trying to determine apropriate mana costs.Lets say the same flier draws a card when it enter the battlefield. That effect costs 1½ mana, so the designer of the card knows the correct cost is likely to add 1 coloured mana for a rare, or 2 colourless mana for a common/uncommon. The end result would be a 3/3 flier that draws a card when it enters the battlefield, for 2GU. (Would be a really good card actually! At uncommon a 3GU with same stats is also really really solid)

It's apparent you take me for a nitwit. That's fine, I suppose you are entitled to your "beliefs".
But let it be known, it's quite clear which posts are inflammatory and which ones are genuine. I'll just leave it at that.
