I still like it OK. If you get two 3Mv dudes off it, you're feeling great. I just don't want to sacrifice a gold slot for it. All my ruminating about the card does make me reconsider the very cool Raise the Past, though!

Having the mana available to hit both abilities is really hard, but in a mono red deck just imagine playing a lightning bolt in response to your top decked goblin guide on turn 4 and then doubling both of those. I think the confusion my players will have about the "target creature spell" is...

This is kind of where I'm at. I don't like how visually similar they are to Adventures still, but it's a really neat and resonate ability. It reminds me of the excitement my friends got when I explained that planeswalkers "can cast spells just like you", and casting wizards who themselves cast...

Skycoach Conductor, a blue Restoration Angel! Compared to Resto, here are my pluses and minuses, knowing they don't actually compete with each other for a slot in most Cubes: Pros: 1. Can be played a full turn earlier, easier to split the mana 2. Vigilance is cool! 3. Spells-matter support 4...

I don't think it's a bad card or anything, I'd just rather enjoy my Chart a Course. Honestly, I'd rather have See the Truth as well, that's a very cool card that came out during the worst time for testing in paper and I don't even remember if I picked up a copy. Even if your deck has a ton of...

Such an unbelievably cool card. Makes the gears turn with joy the moment you see it. I like it. I am a big Pelt Collector fan and maybe should still play it as my one true aggro-focused 1-drop in the color considering all the tokens, but I play Pawpatch Recruit right now for its more explicit...

This reminds me of The Capitoline Triad, which I quite like but have struggled to get my drafters interested in. The Capitoline Triad Maybe I finally take out Emrakul, the Promised End for The Dawning Archaic because, again, no one seems jazzed to try for Eldrazi titans these days when 4 and 5...

My response to you is also the card I'd recommend if you feel so strongly: That's Rough Buddy

It does and it should not be from a power-level view. It's 1 mana at instant speed to craft your hand in a meaningful way. It may not be card "advantage" but because every card in your deck has different situational advantages, it brings you much closer to "what would be the optimal set of cards...

To add to what Train said, they want nearly every set to have the feeling of "wow, I can't believe I opened a ______" that is provided by both Special Guests and other bonus list cards like the Strixhaven Archives. I love bonus card lists for retail draft...well, not the way they do it in Avatar...

I recently relented and put this in my list online...but then couldn't find it in my on-deck binder or bulk. I will absolutely play it once I remember to pick up another copy or brave the pits of my Aetherdrift RCQ bin or buy another copy. I tried this out for a while and it just didn't do it...

I ran Battle Cry Goblin when it first came out just because I was/am enamored with the design space for 3/1s for 2 and was trying out the great Hobgoblin Captain and they seemed like a great pair. They were. Battle Cry Goblin ended up being my favorite of the two, but I didn't keep enough...

I've really pulled back on this set, mostly for aesthetic reasons rather than for gameplay ones. I didn't like the Gearhulks much because of how much of a trap they felt like for my drafters either. My two ride-or-dies remain some of the most pivotal cards in my Cube: Marauding Mako...

Metalwork Colossus + Mana rocks Prototype cards + Ephemerate Metalwork Colossus Rust Goliath I still do think making big creatures is a big part of it. So yeah, the easiest option that gives off that same feel still ends up with a big creature/planeswalker is MELD: Urza, Lord Protector...

Aligned Heart is great, and from the same set, I love Rally the Monastery. Rally the Monastery It basically rewards you like these other cards do, and can give you two more prowess dudes as a prize.
