The fact that it costs 4 mana makes it too expensive for what I'm looking for. I need it to be 3 mana, sadly. I already run it! It's way better, but it hasn't been oppresive after I revised my 6 drops.

I agree that most cards are designed this way. However, I don't think it's because the design space has been depleted, it's intentional. That is, they are intentionally making variations on the same principles or card designs. The issue with unique, simple designs is that they are hard to...

So, I really like Worn Powerstone in my cube but it has one issue: Since it enters tapped, it doesn't work with Goblin Welder, is a dead draw in storm and combo decks and, in general, is a bit limited in other niche scenarios. I was wondering if I could find a replacement that had a bit more...

Ennis, Debate Moderator vs Charming Prince I do run a small counters theme, but it's small and not as useful as the Scry 2 in most decks...but it's still a free counter and it's not like you would run Charming Prince for the scry, right?

Thanks guys. I think I'll switch to Cosmogrand Zenith because it has a few advantages: - Only 1 pip of coloured mana - Bleeds more openly into other archetypes (+1/+1 counters, spells) - Is both a go-wide enabler and payoff. - The decision to attack with its 2/4 body, pump it with counters or...

It's what I feared, then. I just like the concept of the card, I just wish there was something like it that was more conductive to good gameplay.

Cosmogrand Zenith vs Adeline, Resplendent Cathar Note that I already run Monastery Mentor.

Is Library of Alexandria ever tutored or played in a synergestic way? Or is it just raw, opening-hand power? Library of Alexandria

I did try with 2500 draftrs, but it doesn't lead to better data since it runs into limitations with duplication and clustering. The data is pretty much identical to 500, it's just repeated more times. It's also hard to adjust it to a reasonable level. If sorting by colour, rather than just...

So far it seems fairly accurate. Sure, the decks are a bit off; they'll build Reanimator decks without enough discard outlets and not enough targets, but if you look at them as a whole rather than deck-by-deck, the average seems pretty close. I do wish I could select two different groups and...

Wow, that's an interesting tool! I decided to run more drafts (500) and got this shape which looks like a flat icosahedron or dodecahedron drawn into a two dimensional plane. I'm not the best at disentangling this kind of information but I can draw some positive conclusions. For starters, the...

Bone Shards. Let's be honest, if Bone Shards isn't great for most of my decks, then my black decks need a little spice in them. To be honest, I don't think edicts are an effect that work in today's design environment.

Worth testing interesting Variable Solutions A better balanced take on Pest Infestation, which is more than welcome! The versatility and decision making involved make it far more interesting than the raw power of Pest Infestation. Unlike other designs, this seems properly balanced if you...

8 copies of Manamorphose seems like a problem about to happen. I would be up for it, though

Imaigne having all that resume and still failing so hard at aura farming.
