    General Peasant Power Level

    More relevant to the original topic, 1-drop aggro does a good bit to limit the power of "ETB.dec", particularly for things with ETBs that don't effect the board -- e.g. if I'm attacking with Jackal Pup, I'm probably pretty upset about Cloudgoat Ranger, but barely care about Mulldrifter...

    General Peasant Power Level

    Haven't done a ton of Pauper cube but it's definitely not "egregious" at Peasant, not even close. There's a billion bad burn spells at XR that nobody wants or uses, so the only selling point for Thunder is dividing it up to punish aggro decks. But... there it's only particularly worthwhile at 6+...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Goblin War Drums i like the effect on an enchantment much more than on a 1/1 undying

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Leaving a bear behind on your game-winning Overrun doesn't seem too impactful. I'd rather stick to a mono-red card so your Grizzly Fate or Moan of the Unhallowed can get in on the fun.

    General Nonessential staples? (and Gruul cards)

    Cutting Force feels crazy -- precisely BECAUSE it's not broken or required like it is in constructed formats, it's a super fun card to play with. I mean, I remember specific situations where I used Force on stuff like: Rushing River Gods Willing Arc Trail

    How do people manage custom cards? Is there anything better than Cardsmith out there?

    General The Card Art Thread

    i don't see anything out of line with most mtg art from 1994 generally conveys the idea of "headache" which seems to be how blue deals targeted damage with spells probably bottom 25% of legends card art, but far from the worst thing ever

    Card/Deck Creatures With Neutral Card Economy

    I've always thought that Elvish visionary fundamentally sucked -- two mana for a re-draw and a 1/1 speedbump not good enough for even lower power cube settings It's certainly fine in normal booster drafts and can be exploited in constructed settings... But why is this a card I'd ever want to...

    I mean I can't spew Ponder-related shitposts in real life, so... I'm a pretty great catch

    Anyone in Portland? I'm house sitting here (my hometown, but came down from a podunk Washington town I'm living in now) and could use some cube time.
