Q: Can we please have a new tag “cgt” as an alias for “combinatorial-games”?

PJTraillCan we please have a new tag “cgt” (which does not currently exist) as an alias for “combinatorial-games”? Reading the tag-info of the latter makes it clear that the tag applies to the sort of games considered in Combinatorial Game Theory, which is commonly abbreviated as CGT. Anyone looking for ...

Related, a while back someone challenged me to make some X-Men designs, and this was one of them:

Q: Rename [combinatorial-games] to [combinatorial-game-theory]

doppelgreenerThe combinatorial-games tag should be renamed to combinatorial-games-theory, because that is what it is about and what it is used for. The tag wiki says this, emphasis added by me: Use for questions relating to Combinatorial Game Theory, terminology and concepts, particularly in regard to the...

https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/44394/can-an-apothecary-create-space-marines

Do we support questions that are about the lore, not the games themselves? I think the question belongs more on the sci-fi stack exchange than ours, though I can't vote to close because it belongs there.
 
Would that be a flag to the mods (if we determine it is so)?
 
@JonTheMon Even still flagging it as belonging on another SE only gives the option for our own meta.

@doppelgreener do you have the full set up anywhere? It's always interesting to see what sort of custom cards people have put together.
 
8:39 PM
@Malco There's not a set, but here's the other couple of designs from the set I consider successful on some level:
The learning experience from that is that most things that make x-men special is just a french vanilla creature. Like, Bird Boy is just a Storm Crow or something.
It's hard to make interesting magic cards representing them.
Rogue and Juggernaut I both love in this.
 
hmm, some of the high-power ones might be interesting though... Magneto doing something with gaining control of artifacts, Jean/Pheonix having some sort of reanimation/pheonix type effect
also one upside to Arena, sets get better trailers now since they are 3d modeling the cards and doing voice-overs anyways youtu.be/TLlg0CcS4Vs
Oh and spoiler season has started

This one is very specific and weird and we've been trying to figure out what it'll actually do in Scryfall's chat. So far we've got:
- The first effect can stop storm (provided you're relying on rituals and mana rocks to access some of your spells) and stops you casting expensive spells for lower alternate costs or reduced costs
- The second effect stops cascade, suspend, rebound, and a lot of ways to cheat out things (but not all)
 
2 mana "You must play fair magic until you remove this creature"
though won't work with taxes type effects
 
(standard) Hits non-creature convoke, etali, omnispell adept and....?
 
9:30 PM
for convoke though they can just pay 1 mana and then use creatures for the rest though
as long as they have the right number of lands that is
 
yes
 
Conclave tribunal is only 4cmc? dosen't seem to ask too much
 
unless you have a bunch of creatures and only 3 lands
 
I suppose so, but seems marginal
is standard so fast that you want to be conclaving before turn 4 often?
March of multitudes is hardest hit of the convokers I think
 
Search for azcanta? (if printed) authority of the consuls?
 
9:49 PM
Azcanta is a good point
