Rebound requires you to cast it from your hand.

excited to take an interlude between new york turtles and new york superheroes to explore school bullying ok I am mostly uninterested in this set on a mechanical level as none of the set themes really appeal to me, I kind of like the silverquill theme but I'd much rather just have crime. The UR...

Omnibian Firemane Angel Vulturous Zombie Wee Dragonauts Pillory of the Sleepless Loxodon Hierarch Rumbling Slum Rakdos the Defiler Bloodletter Quill Sky Hussar Entirely on an emotional level, I make no assertion about their gameplay quality. Most iffy on Rakdos, I kind of want to put Rix Maadi...

Bold assumption to have after playing a 5-mana do-nothing in a combo deck. If you have vintage cube level storm support I think either work, and you might need both. Reservoir can be played in advance, but is significantly worse if your opponent has interaction for it. You could also be...

I have two Animate Deads as a "broken" reanimation spell with underwhelming targets. It sucks how wordy it is, but it lets you do some cool things like have Mirrorshell Crab and Colossal Skyturtle as reanimation targets without the ward necessarily becoming too oppressive, because you have the...

Paramecia Coloniex Mouser Foundry I think these two cards are kind of neat. I doubt I will play anything from this set though. That said, I like Sneak, I might import it for my custom set project.

You could indicate what's on the backside by having grayed out text and/or the mdfc marker with the upgraded mana cost. Doing it at random sounds fun though.

My guess is most players are not prepared for or especially interested in deliberating on where they want the exact cost:effect of some basic game effect to be. This is a bit like adding several extra "how many lands of each color do I want?" phases to the draft. It probably doesn't help that...

What if the backside was "the same card, but better", and then after your draft and after each round you can upgrade some of your cards.

Shelldock Isle Vintage cube classic, but I think it's a cool card. Might be a bit too powerful for your environment, not necessarily because of the mana cheating, but more so the card advantage and breaking timing restrictions. Ishgard, the Holy See I don't know if this is too slow, haven't...

I just have to vent about how it bothers me that Brigid, Clachan's heart, Sygg, Wanderwine Wisdom and Trystan, Callous Cultivator all starts on their Lorwyn side as the color the creature type shares between the two sets, and upon turning into their Shadowmoor side, ends up as the color...

That Rimekin looks very strong. Very exciting card, I'm already playing the saga with somewhat similar effect. Blue 3 drops are getting crowded though.

Could stifle it for those looking for more targets than dreadnaught to justify putting it in their cube.

I like all these cards. I generally try to avoid cards that are just generically good, but I'm making some concessions when it comes to multicolored cards, and I like the play decisions these incarnations introduce. Glen Elendra gets my vote for coolest design of the set, I really like the...

If this was a new plane I might have liked this set, but knowing that it's a revisit to Lorwyn, I just have to live with it not delivering on what made the original set special to me. The full art basic lands really sell the disconnect in the two sets the best to me. The set looks fun to draft...
