Wayward swordtooth for sure. I personally like Rumbleweed, but the other two seem interesting as well. I think it's mostly a gut thing. here's one I'm struggling with. I want a charm in Boros that is roughly on the same power as Izzet Charm. So Boros Charm is kind of cracked in my opinion...

I've been running Gnawing Vermin and it's fine. The doggy would definitely excite me more in a pack. Being able to scry/surveil once or twice a turn is amazing on a one drop. Not quite dragon rage channeler, but being able to Raise the Alarm and get two surveil triggers off of Snarling Gorehound...

Blanchwood Prowler mills one less, but also becomes a 2/2 if it whiffs. Ainok Wayfarer is another clone if you don't like it.

I was about to shove a fourth squadroned copy of Heartless Summoning into my Cube's occasionals, which is my only squadroned card currently and then I was like, "Wait a second." Very heavily considering making conspiracy versions of various other niche buildarounds that are lame decks without...

I have found that the "Magus"-es are a sweet low power alternative to some of the "best" cards in Magic. Some of them though are just not that great though. Like Arena is much more interesting than Magus of the Arena, and the same thing with Mirror Universe. But the real unsung heroes are...

I think having these cards right next to each other explains it quite well. Ugin, Eye of the Storms Karn Liberated while the idea of Ugin into Titan woul make sense, the reality is "ugin, 0, rock, rock, rock. Oh look their board is wiped" (But Karn Liberated is a solid walker and usually scales...

You could also play with the design space of Vanguards Ashnod Karn Gerrard I personally think that if Vanguards developed in an age where Magic had more liberal patches then they would have stuck around longer. But be careful, some of these guys are flipping nasty, even seemingly innocent ones...

Song of Creation this is a cheap alternative for Flubs, waaaaay worse (notice how it says "cast a spell" instead of "land OR cast a spell") but also way more explosive too, draw EVERY cast. You definitely have enough scry, surveil, and retrace to support it. Ooooh and that single plot card too...

I've played a lot of Magus of the Disk which is similar. It has some really interesting gameplay like, throwing it on an empty board, and then opponent is like... "do I play cards anymore?" I like the Disks a lot more than the 5 and 6 mana wraths that are usually played in lower-powered...

It looks really flipping strong, but in cubes where the floor is murder it's fine. It looks overwhelming and strong (I mean, it's rampaging baloths!) but the 4/4s tend to get chumped (notably no trample on the 4/4) and they're better as blockers but if you're coming from behind it's like... Myr...

I think it just really shows off how much white was a splash color in 2007, like yes, people played monowhite, but it typically didn't do well in that meta (based on the data, I don't know anything because I didn't start playing until like 2011). Whereas monoblue and monored are basically the...

Blessings to you all! I know very well how lonely it can be around this time and I pray that you all are able to eat good food and be a little extra cozy :D

Not a rg card but fling lives rent free and is a great occasional. Soul's fire is also fine but... really boring. Kazuul's fury is probably the best if you can deal with double-faced.

Gorgon's Head Hunter's Blowgun Vorpal Sword Have all been serviceable for me, if I had to pick one it would be Vorpal Sword because that +2 attack is very helpful to turn an Eldrazi Spawn into a "better" engine rat. But hunter's blowgun is interesting if you are looking for a specific play...

At this power level, what are people's opinions on making green less interact-able in terms of the other colors? Ie: Carnage Tyrant Toski, Bearer of Secrets and all those "give hexproof and/or indestructible" going as high as Heroic Intervention if necessary.
