The funny part is that it would have been really straight-forward to complete the cycle. They're just 3/3s for 4 who give you the appropriate shrine trigger three times if they get overkilled. That's, what, six life for {W}, three cards discarded for {B}, and three 1/1s for {G}? Alternatively...

Man, that Ghost Dad article made me feel nostalgic for a Standard that happened long before I started playing. That should be illegal.

I will also accept a Pia's Revolution emblem.

Ah yes, the beautiful Übermyr. I love that guy. I feel like mass-reanimating cheap creatures is a different strategy than reanimating cheap permanents, even if they do have some definite card overlap. Which isn't to say that a deck wouldn't want both cards, mind you, but the idea is to lean...

Jason talking about Skaab Ruinator reminded me of a dumb micro-archetype that I keep wanting to stick somewhere (cards are examples): Selesnya "Reanimator" Sun-Blessed Healer Satyr Wayfinder Renegade Rallier + Guardian of the Great Door Serra Avenger Bayou Groff Talara's Batallion It's...

The duality of Riptide Labs.

Clearly you need to figure out a way to play it on here.

Man, if I had the mental energy to cube, a cube where everything is a 3+ card combo would be funny as hell.

Honestly, that's my problem with a lot of old border treatments - the art and text ends up feeling just a little bit off. Like, I think new cards in the old border can work, but you have to be kinda careful to only use cards that could feasibly be printed back in the day. It's also, like... you...

As someone who can't listen to podcasts, I'm looking forwards to the results post! I want to see how badly my design got crushed.

BNG is a bit of a weird one for me, since it was close to when I started being legitimately into Magic. As a result, there are some cards from the set that I always thought were super cool that I mostly haven't cubed with: Hero of Iroas Spirit of the Labyrinth Flitterstep Eidolon Vortex...

Big Game Hunter Boom, headshot.

Yeah, pretty much. I'm not completely opposed to having a single card that turns your deck into a mill deck, but I'd kinda want it to manifest as something like Wildfire, where it makes you re-evaluate your draft picks because you suddenly care about something new. That's definitely a...

A bit of an odd question for me specifically to be asking, but has anyone here had any success with a mill-to-kill archetype in a relatively normal cube? Aggressively milling villain to death is one of my favorite archetypes, but it has a bit of that Storm problem where most other decks don't...
