I stopped playing tourny because the BGA is very perfectible. Most of my tournaments ended up with a timed up players, you cant invite as many players as you want, and very limited in formats. It would be so cool to have a real tournament editor with endless playtime.

My innitial point was, why is Tree Swallow quoted in the top 11 starting cards posted by FranckJones considering its much worse than many (and from which House Finch is suspiciously missing) Of course id play it if its my only drawing card in starting hand. Now if i have to blindly choose between Tr...

Why is Tree Swallow very bad and should be avoided 1) early game your worm is your most precious single ressource. Considering you don' have a crow or a spotted thowee, you will need to find food or die. A single worm will allow you to play 29 of the 175 cards in your forest, while on only 21 for a...

Why is Black Cronwed Heron good for Anatomist and Horned Lark is not ? It does not even have a crown.
