Looking at other wheels, I noticed that ECL has an interesting hybrid and multicolor split. Counting full hybrid symbols as multicolor: Pair: #multi, #hybrid WU: 4, 1 BR 3, 2 GW: 3, 2 UR: 2, 3 BG: 5, 1 Avg: 3.4, 1.8 UB: 1, 3 RG: 1, 3 WB: 1, 3 RW: 1, 4 GU: 0, 4 Avg: .8, 3.4 The summary is that...

I like Reckoner for other reasons, but it's more of a multicolor card or W/R devotion payoff. Yeah. I'm obviously on a ton of colorless here. Working on the list now that there won't be a real set for a long time.

ECL has about 1/10th hybrids. That's like 4-5 per pair in a 360-450 cube. The uncommons in ECL are largely triple hybrid symbols and hard to cast, though, so we could go a little lower to get a similar feel. Similarly, I wouldn't suggest Boros Reckoner as a hybrid card as much as I'd suggest...

ECL Draft Review I ended up on RG Vivid with a ton of hybrid cards. Typically had like 3.5 colors of permanents out. Would have 4-5 by the time I was casting Prismabasher or Aurora Awakener. The deck was really consistent. Basically every 3 land hand was good due to tweeze eclipsed kithkin...

White in ROE was basically dead unless you were the only one on the levelers deck or got Gideon Jura. Green was super juiced there and supported a lot of drafters. Maybe my problem is that I've historically put equipment into RW and counters into GW, but they should stay more centered in just...

White I don't like white (in this context). It's doing the opposite of what Eldrazi do. It kills big creatures and loves small creatures. There's very limited overlap between a big Eldrazi deck and the entire color white except that board wipes can make the game go long and there's a few...

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures using /ci or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Every New Card Main Set Commander Mystical Archive Did anyone here learn any secrets? Disappointed to see them change 4 of the 5...

Try telling that to the aggro deck... Is this even better than Tidings?

environmental scientist paradox surveyor ETB draw a land. I'll take it.

Kinda hate Channel. It's either nothing or totally broken.

mind into matter Thoughts on this in mid-high power? It's bad Explore meets At Least Urban Evolution meets Genesis Hydra. I like it as a ramper plus ramp payoff, but I can't tell if the flexibility is worth the variety of slightly subpar options.

There's almost no way they put Learn in this set with the Avatar lessons around unless the Learn cards are really bad. We've seen a lot of cards already with no Learn.

virtue of persistence

I think you're right. The words "sent" and "graveyard" have never appeared on a card together. It would specify how they were sent to the graveyard like "put into your graveyard from anywhere" or something.

I was just thinking that it's surprising no one made a Charms post. They're all really cool. Love a good modal spell and all of these are decently appealing.
