I think Kayla is fine and interesting for occasionals. This is where it needs the italics rules/flavor text that I usually hate. "Draft Weenies - 4, T, Discard all the cards in your hand...." On the Blue stun creatures, I would be ok with the Kraken in my cube but wouldn't want a 4/5 flier for...

I actually just put Arbiter of Woe on my shopping list today. I like it. I think it's my favorite of the 6 MV fliers, but I wanted to look at my options. I do like the idea of multi-purpose fatties, or fatties that have an ability from the graveyard. GravewakerKokusho, the Evening StarMiasma...

We had another 4 player draft, this time with a slightly increased cube size of 240 using 5 packs of 12 cards each (previously 11), burning 4 per pack, still resulting in 40 card pools. We could do 44 card pools, but I think the 40 card pools help us build decks a little faster with no shortage...

Related to the talk about ramping to 6 MV instead of 8+, what is people's thoughts on reanimating at more of a 6-7 MV level? I'd like to run 2-3 cards like Blood for Bones, Dread Return, and Diabolical Servitude as midrange value spells that target stuff like Pentavus, Tyrant of Kher Ridges. I...

Speaking of Remand, they committed a crime by increasing the text from 3 lines to 5 lines in every version after the original. I was happy to finally see a reprint with M15 border and original art, but the oracle text is ugly by comparison.

It's a Flametongue Kavu of sorts in the blink-est color. This is something we haven't had before. Momo, Rambunctious Rascal

Cool, that last mountain is a nice one.

This is my thing. I could try to dial up the rest of the cube to make 3/2 for 2 okay, but I don't think I want that. I don't want the format to be so fast that you can never afford to whiff on an early turn. I also don't think I'd be able to find enough cards at that power level without dozens...

These sound fun. DuplicantSneak Attack

Sweet, thanks for the endorsements. I'll run it.

What's your opinion of this card? Key to the City On one hand, I hate it because it's a little confusing to read at first. On the other hand, I love a colorless discard outlet that activates for zero mana, which also doubles as a source of evasion/reach that can end a stalled game or push an...

There's a Strixhaven set coming out next year, so maybe they'll bring back Learn there. But, knowing them, they'll instead create some updated version of Learn called "Study" that tweaks the mechanic to fix some issue they thought they had with Learn.

So many cards would awesome if the rate wasn't all wrong. Right now I'm lamenting Umbral Collar Zealot in particular, because I just can't get behind a black 3/2 for 1B with nothing but upside. It sounds really fun to play that with the WB humans/aristocrats deck, I think it's just too strong...

Folks, I thought you'd want to see these gibbons, which are somewhat hidden in the photo here.
