I feel personally attacked.

No, I think you are right. The key here is that Magic has evolved to the point that 3 mana creatures now cost 2. There used to be a ton of effects, most notably any snowballing or repeated advantage, that just weren't available at that cost. Now you have creatures that do, and while this is...

Don't you feel it's too good of a blocker? Os has that not been an issue?

I've been trying Chatterstorm and Awaken the woods and there's little information about it, so perhaps I should talk a bit about my experiences. First, this is a fantastic piece for a plethora of decks. Naturally, it's great in combo decks by ramping you one turn before going off. But it's also...

Haha, don't worry! I was joking, not referering specially about your post! It's not a bad card, but it does have two big limits: You divide the pile and it rounds down. In practice, it's removal that does nothing against one creature and Diabolic Edict against two and three. It's only when you...

Look, Bone Shredder is good removal and it has a ton of synergies. If someone wants to take Order of Mid-night, they can.

Yeah, at that point, it doesn't matter what you have you want that it will be good. Of course, it's best with Nektrataal, Venser and friends, but anything works, really.

Predator's Howl is much worse than it seems because you have to keep the mana open and, if you run it, chances are removal is too expensive for you to trigger Morbid yourself. I agree with Ravnic that Hunger is not a combat trick, but something closer to Oakenform.

This looks like a great set! I'm not finding much I'm interested on because my cube has a high power level, but the fact that I'm not finding outliners here is actually a good thing.

They keep reusing that joke over and over again: "I am not in danger ARRGH" - [Name], [profession], last words. or "I underestimate you" - [Name] "the ironic", last words. If you look up "last words" on Scryfall, you get 49 cards. Not all of them follow those two templates, but most do...

By the way, I have no idea of where I would play it or how you are supposed to, but I love this: Scrawling Crawler Other than Stasis, how do you play with Howling Mine variants in cube?

I hate how the fantastic art is ruined by yet another attempt at funny flavour text. It's hard not to notice that Magic's flavour text has been increasingly limited to two flavours: Cool "I'm better than you" lines and Marvel-like humour. I like this card as a design, sadly it's too weak for...

I did, but it was extremely underwhelming. First, as blink, it's simply not good enough to wait 2 turns to get any value. You are already spending a card, you open yourself to removal and you need enough good creatures in your deck and in play to actually target. As removal. you usually play...

Dungeons & Dragons. To give just one example: Hit points, as they exist in every single game today, come from Dungeons and Dragons. Of course, I'm talking about designer games here, traditional games (Chess, Go, Tarot, etc.) would probably be on top, but their influence is hard to measure.

There's no dystopia bad enough for capitalists to stop injecting ads into everything. I really feel for you guys. For many of you this game is your passion and hobby. Seeing it destroyed like this is beyond words. Fucking Spongebob cards in tournaments. It's downright vandalism, Magic is the...
