    General Alchemy nonsense / "Seek" mechanic

    I've never seen that version of Mentor's Guidance -- what a lovely card! I'd be jazzed to run it. ...but the problem I have with adding an Alchemy rebalance is that it's a slippery slope. There's no real reason why I shouldn't then edit a bunch of other cards only really intended for retail...

    General Alchemy nonsense / "Seek" mechanic

    There's a lot of really cool cards and designs here. Emporium Thopterist is my favorite. I think "conjure" is way easier than seek in most cases, personally, since it just makes a token. Seek reveals a lot of information about decks and even the card you're seeking, which is not how the...

    This is the reason why, of all products they could make, I wish they'd do more commander cards / decks. they can make a few key cards for every forgotten favorite that are hard to justify in "normal" products, and they don't even have to worry about balance this way. I really liked when they...

    the kind of people who want to play a card called "mathemagics" (and also those who play things like KCI and Valakut) but also I'd be mad if the standard version of the card didn't spell it out but this is the one case where it'd be clean to have it on the bonus version!!

    General CBS

    One of my most frequent annoyances these days with WotC is their lack of a standard and/or changing standards around reminder text. As the only evoke cards in the entire set, I think they should have worked especially hard to ensure that they can show the reminder text on each of them. I am...

    If this were printed in a secret lair or something I would 100% come to Commander nights / Cube draft with a numbered deck of all 59 options in a deck box ready to go.

    I get that there are some impracticalities to doing so, but I wish when they realized that, yes, if you make Magic cards, they should be available to players. Period! While I thought the outrage towards mechanically unique box toppers and Secret Lairs was silly, those aren't a fraction as...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    I took Young Pyromancer out for a while and it felt fine, but I put him back in because the ability to generate tokens nearly every turn in red for 2 mana (sometimes multiple in one turn!) felt like something my Cube really wanted to have. But with Searslicer Goblin as @shamizy mentioned...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    That's so funny, that you say this because I just last month moved a copy of Master of Etherium into my on-deck binder. I've seen that Nettlecyst is falling out of favor in some vintage Cubes, but it's only been going up in my estimation as I've done more trinket nonsense in the wake of...

    Now that we can actually see cards clearly with the official spoilers (and have an extra card or two) here are all the cards I'm really interested in from across the recently-leaked rares and mythics: (note: I know literally nothing about this IP so I may incorrectly appropriate terms and am...

    Potentially the last rare spoiler! Siege Veteran has been sieged. I'm currently running Summon: Ixion and this seems like a general upgrade, as much as I like the temporary removal, additional card type, and incidental lifegain from the Final Fantasy Commander card. Of course it's good with...

    General [ECL/ECC] Lorwyn Eclipsed Testing/Includes

    Loved the set at pre-release. It's a rough set for sealed (you'll never get a critical mass of any creature type), which actually has me excited for RCQ season. I got a bunch of pretty good 2-drops and went Boros aggro. My deck's helpful winners were: Rhys, the Evermore Kinscaer Sentry...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    I actually am really liking this set. We've now seen every mythic and I think are likely to have seen every rare (we've gotten 50 compared to Spider-Man's 53, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is it), so I feel I'm almost ready to make my includes and testing list at this rate!! I still don't...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    More leaks, wow. Chrome Dome This suits my Cube very well, and helps push this theme in a way that I like for 2 mana. Leonardo's Technique seems like a great partner to a lot of the white reanimation we've had going on. Probably the 4th of the best 4, but that may be enough for a Cube as...

    General [TMT] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    looks like there's a couple people getting stuck with TMT promos in their Lorwyn kits. Some interesting designs: Casey Jones, Vigilante seems very fun. Ideas Unbound is a pet card, and now I may be able to get it in my Cube in a form? This is a dumb name, but I like everything it does...
