they announced 12,000 new cards this weekend try to keep up man

I think I generally prefer an environment that has a decent number of sweepers more than an environment that has none. Sweepers add a huge amount of tension to the game. When you're playing an environment that you know doesn't have sweepers, there are a lot of board positions where the outcome...

all i know about this format is that i got to run some games with someone else's decks at a cube event earlier this year and the mono red deck ran 4x ball lightning so i think it's safe to say the format is perfect

can we keep this one around I like its provacative and postmodern style

I don't really think that's true. You definitely CAN play Languish like that, and it's cool that it has that mode, but it absolutely will see play in control decks in most environments.

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!
