yeah I probably shouldn't have said "whiff city" sorry it is more like you are not even bothering to step up to the plate bc randy johnson is pitching. city.

lmao i do think Kayla actually does have a pretty cool text box especially bc there's sooo few boros cards with interesting text on them but the problem is that it's long as hell and full of little qualifying statements that make it a chore to read. i also don't think the rate is that good and...

grafted skullcap This one seems very ravnic speed and has the kind of high octane play patterns that suit an occasional. I'll always shill for this card, it's fun as hell.

Goblin Trenches is sick ignore the haters. Definitely not a card you can play alongside new fucked up threats but it's a total beast if you are constraining card advantage and tokens in your list. Once it gets going it makes tons of bodies, and if that's a rare thing to come by, then it's a...

I would say Ragavan is considered pretty powerful, yeah, but like others said power is always contextual. My point with mentioning Ragavan there was that it doesn't really have many "hooks". It's not a card that encourages you to build around it, or take advantage of it's synergies. You just...

hangarback walker vs marketback walker Anyone played with both of these? How do they compare? I really like hangarback but the new one has cool art and less text and gums up the board less. Which is stronger? Which is more fun?

We also end up with a lot of cards that are technically backwards compatible, but have trinkety text on them that doesn't matter outside the context of the set. Void from EoE is one example, but there's also stuff like Creeping Peeper and the Eerie cards from DSK, where it's like, enchantments...

I think a lot of it was just around making cards feel unique, increasing replayability by making games feel different every time. Jesse talked about how one of the cool things about drafting and cubing is that its not just the same cards over and over, and if you want that you can just build...

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on that!

Train and I were on a podcast somewhat recently talking about singleton breaking where we touched on a bunch of aspects of it, might be helpful: https://usmantherad.substack.com/p/pack-one-slick-ones-episode-13-breaking

wildfire so when everybody talks about how you should only ever play this card as a 2-of, how real is that? are there any wildfire singleton defenders left to weight in on the other side of this debate.

This card is very cool. I love an aggro 1-drop with a downside that's an upside that's a downside and this one adds some really interesting texture to the game. The player putting the 1-mana 2/2 in their deck is likely going to be the player who is less able to crack the lander and take...

I really like fair Dread Return. The floor of just being a zombify is already pretty good for most low power fair stuff environments, and then the occasional splashy moments of flashing it back can be cool and exciting. I think it depends on how easy it is to generate tokens in an environment...

that set already gave us Legendary Artifact Creature - Equipment Jellyfish I feel like they really did not give a fuck about typeline length
