    General Fight Club

    Honor's a fantastic card and I love it. I don't think it's close, though. Helping Hand is such a winner. Unearth has probably not been cycled in the last 5 years, and white is a much better color for the effect.

    The California Premiership Cube: 720 Cards of

    I had tried it before and liked it, but I am generally much harder on multicolor cards so it only lasted two drafts. I had it prior to the trinkets package, I think it's excellent and a great suggestion. Maybe I use this as an excuse to rebuild a hybrid section of single-pip hybrid cards. I'm...

    The California Premiership Cube: 720 Cards of

    After any new set comes out, I like to test it in a few sample drafts. My first one today was a lot of fun. The key cards are almost all 2-drops: Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11 Michelangelo, the Heart Ivora, Insatiable Heir Biotech Specialist Campsite Cuisine Obsessive Pursuit Lots of...

    Card/Deck Broken cards for lower power

    I would imagine so, but I don't have the reps in with it. The issue may be that there's more things green creature decks want to ramp into than blue artifact decks, and it's much easier to have 2 creatures out by turn 2, making for a completely dumb turn 3. I'd still imagine it's worth it...

    Card/Deck Broken cards for lower power

    I play with it and Grim Monolith as pretty clear power-level outliers. They're great, but they actually haven't been broken. Cool, your nuts hand can get an artifact fatty out turn 3 or 4 if you dump your hand. If it dies, you're out of steam, probably. Very powerful (and definitely...

    General Fight Club

    Man, that's rough. I love both of these cards so much. In most Cubes, I'd do Sevinne's Reclamation. Being able to cast spells that get incidentally milled is awesome, and the options expand for what you can grab. In core of the CCC though, I'd do Helping Hand. For a core card, it fits that role...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    Full card gallery is now up! Some interesting cards: I think I prefer this to Long Goodbye since there's so few walkers at 3 and exiling often more relevant than counterspells. [[Insert joke about Batman UB here.]] Extremely cool card. That's a lot of flexibility, value, and complexity on...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    Wingnut, Bat on the Belfry I think this might be good enough for my Cube, actually, and a nice booster for token/go-wide strategies. I like the Alliance ability here, and you'll mostly choose flying but the flexibility is no slouch, especially the haste to make for a surprise attack that...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    I have an illness that I cannot help myself but obsess over spoilers, even during periods where I haven't been playing the game (like Alara -> Worldwide). Happy to be of service. It's actually just the other half of Spider-Man. It also is a small set with five archetypes set in NYC with crazy...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    Oh hell yeah I love my new Gala Greeters. Very happy for more repeatable food generation in white at just 2mv, and on an otherwise respectable creature. I still prefer Astrid Peth, but this will make a fine addition to my list and makes the artifact aggro cards in white all the more...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    First proper day of spoilers! Nothing too crazy or exciting. I think I'm actually going to enjoy this set for retail limited based on the cards I'm seeing, but goodness some of the alt arts are absolutely ugly. I'd like to see another mutagen generator I like or two to help justify their...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I've tried this a few times in the past and no one ever picks it. I think it might be better situated in my Cube now (i.e. better), which I would be jazzed for. The lack of control it offers is troubling, but not impossible to work around. I don't want to use an Izzet slot for it, but I'd be...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    I am very hopeful (and expectant) that the non-showcase version will be more pallatable. Interesting to see so few additional leaks from this set considering how we got the rare sheet spoiled by WotC themselves a month ago. Prerelease is this weekend! It's going to be a short spoiler season.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I'm looking for another 1 or 2-drop creature in red that helps me discard more cards to support Marauding Mako, Ivora, Insatiable Heir, and Hobgoblin, Mantled Marauder. Volatile Wanderglyph Yuyan Archers Boundary Lands Ranger Plargg, Dean of Chaos Party Thrasher Irreverent Gremlin Reckless...
