Flame of Anor is my favorite. I love that it's a totally fine card as a floor that usually does exactly what you need it to, but you feel invincible if you have a wizard lying around. A little more than 25% of my blue section is Wizards, plus two of my red cards, a few others, and, of course...

you assume me to be far too smart, though I do agree I meant my red section is not spell-focused enough for this, it has too big of themes for discard, tokens, and artifacts to properly focus on spells-matter and big spells

I put it in my list for this exact purpose, and swapped in Jeskai Revelation for my Jeskai slot for maximum Tablet-ing. It lasted a few weeks, but I took it out before it got an in-person test because I kept seeing Cursed Mirror in packs and realizing most decks wanted that one more, and it felt...

Nesting Dovehawk Mondrak, Glory Dominus I've been playing Mondrak, Glory Dominus since it came out. My EDH-pilled playgroup loves it. They love tokens, they love doubling things. (To this point, I've had a few players ask me to replace Sun Titan with Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation). But it...

Just three, they're from the biggest annual Star Trek convention in Vegas last weekend. We didn't get much, but I am stoked for the Klingon-language cards and the Klingon-style cards. General Chang looks great, I wish it was just a little more juiced, like allowing us to sacrifice artifacts if...

This is true, but it's a worthwhile cost/benefit. Black doesn't have much in the way of interrupting game plans that aren't creature based, and so when hexproof is relevant or low-creature strategies are valid, cards like Thoughtseize are an important part of the ecosystem to proactively cut...

One of the many Alchemy cards that plays extremely well online but would be rough to do in paper. Drafting from a spellbook in paper in particular is annoying, I wish you just got one wholly at random so that it would be easier to skip reminder text / yet another component/decision to understand...

Badgey...well, when he first showed up in Lower Decks, I can't pretend I wasn't annoyed. Way too far on the Rick and Morty scale for Trek, to be honest, but the show's really good at justifying its craziest excesses. I ended up coming around, but would have preferred to not see Badgey get a slot...

Red Midrange Cards Pre-2019? I like Dismissive Pyromancer, Pia and Kiran Nalaar, and Inferno Titan for sure on this. But it's hard, red was a pretty shallow color before MH, and it's one of the reasons I've been so excited by the Trumpeting Carnosaurs and Seasoned Pyromancers of the modern...

I love it. I played it for many years, but thanks to its reputation from EDH, it got treated as a combo card rather than a value card, and people would draft it with the expectation they could go infinite with it and then would be disappointed. Technically, I think I did have Nim Deathmantle and...

MBC is a new convention-exclusive* starting with release in November's Magic Con Atlanta product that comes with 59 new cards, one Alchemy card that's getting Vintage legality, ten other foil-only Alchemy reprints (9 of which are new to paper), a couple cards getting Futuresight frames for the...

Full set is now revealed. It's a small set, with only a few clear power level outliers intended for eternal formats in a way that feels extremely calculated to be lower power-level besides a few specific constructed plants (more than most sets, I mean), similar to how I felt about the last...

Today's already been pretty interesting. First, we got 9 cards from the upcoming 2027 "Battle of Five Armies Co-Op Kit", the new Bilbo of which seems to imply that a "battle" box set will be our first return to the battle card type since MOM came out 3 years ago. That's interesting. Less...

Lovely bird. I think it's just shy of what I'd need, partially because I worry folk will whiff on the Speak Secrets half of the card too often. I love a dude that will help me fill up my graveyard, and I especially like it with ninjutsu/sneak, so I'll keep my eyes on it, but I'm not quite sold...

I was actually feeling the same way. Maybe I'm feeling this way because it's a small set and the spoilers have been slower than in other recent sets. It's a full two-week spoiler season, something we don't even normally get with large sets. We haven't even seen half the cards yet...though I will...
