Blood for Bones best reanimation spell imo

This does take longer than expected, and I'm only halfway through. Collecting posts, spamming and killing time all in one. Nice. 013 Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate So. Many. Cards. This set is quite flavourful, I really like it. What I dislike is Initiative, and backgrounds are...

007 Mercadian Masques Weak set. I don't like many designs of it. Pretty Deece made a good video about it on youtube. I dislike the majority of free spells, it depends on the format/which kind of game is played. Cards I like from MMQ: Depletion lands for whacky plays Forced March and Wave of...

So, I'm replying to all those sets just because I have time to kill loooorl 001 Coldsnap The set came out when I started a break from mtg, I was just a filthy casual (which is what I still call myself today) and I didn't know about the cards for years (started to play mtg again about 4 years...

I despise UB with a passion but goddammit this set is a blast to play for draft

It even has seven vocals in its name

1. Ramp/Selfmill/playing cards from grave (flashback variants eg)/Selfmill 2. 3/5/8/7 I really don't like zimone but I dislike landfall in general. Looks decent as a payoff. Wood Sage is a strong enabler and sometimes hits something which is cool but I'm not super excited about multicolored...

Idk I'd say so far this isn't an obvious roots build. So far you only have chatterstorm, a card I'm not exactly excited to play in a selfmill/gy deck. On the other hand, there are earthcraft and altar, two cards that love tokens, and you only have crab so far as selfmill. Do you know what else...

Landscapes are my go to lands for lower/peasant power level with a slightly higher retail limited power level in mind. I just love them.

I can second chain reaction, blasphemous act, slice and dice, starstorm and crater hellion Hour of devastation and breath of darigaaz also look fine to me. Having a real wrath cost 5 is a good measure for lower powered cubes I believe, although I see a lot of cards posted here recently that...

Off the top of my head I'd choose INN, MH1, MH2, NEO, FND but I do ignore most of the rares and mythics. I also think that BLB, MID, DMU, BRO, MKM, DOM, OTJ, SNC, WOE, MOM, AFR (+commander) and MH3 were great for lower power/peasant power level. Also M19/20/21 era. Best old sets are INV and APC.

Containment Construct, if there is enough discard this card looks pretty appealing to me. Since there seems to be a lot of cycling in the cube I'd pick that, especially since it's colorless. Untapped duals are also always worth a pick, even this early. Mind Funeral for selfmill also looks...

Personally, I like the patrician. It was actually playable in triple innistrad, a life swing of 6 each of your turns is actually quite good in a format where games often are a tight race. If you do have a lot of 1/1 tokens or pingers this card gets unplayable, though.

While I agree on your concerns with virtual gold cards (and it's something that doesn't get mentioned often enough) I find guttersnipe to be a bad example. RW and RG often are aggressive decks utilizing cheap removal or pump spells, and while a bear for 3 isn't impressive, a bear that is able to...

That's a tight one @henkdetenk I have a soft spot for the broker and also like sandblast and mulch but for me it's bishop or arcane sanctum. I like value through attacking on a nice body, costing 5 makes the card very reasonable for lower powered lists since you also need something in your gy...
