I don't get it.

Silent Extraction Have we talked about this card? Seems really strong, tbh, a nice incentive to draft a {g/u} deck that gets to threshold quickly and interaction for a color combination that always could need another piece. Of course you would have to turn seek into reveal until ... then shuffle.

I am currently trying all companions except Lutri and Lurrus as occasionals. The problem hasn't been that they were too huge power-outliers – But so far they have only been maindecked. I am talking about the good ones like Yorion, Umori or Gyruda. I think for lower power levels, especially when...

I've considered Worldknit as an occasional. It might be fine but power wise in a synergy focused cube, but it doesn't lead to anything cool imo

Wow, I wasn't aware of Soldevi Adnate. That's a cool card. Also a fan of the Old Man.

But it does not have the same coolness factor. Juzam Djinn has a legacy and fame. Some sweet ones here! Keep them coming :)

This post made me think that Juzam Djinn could be a cool occasional for my lower/mid powered cube, where a four mana 5/5 would be like a C- or maybe even just D+, but the Djinn has a cool legacy. Now, of course I would be proxying here (wtf, I knew it was expensive, but 18oo€?). So I was...

I think you guys are right in that I'm overreacting a little bit, but there have been a few decks, too many, I think, that play zero occasionals. I think I will just try to reduce the core a little bit, maybe go down to 300 core cards, and try a 12/3 split instead of having just one or two...

So currently I am using 327 core cards and 33 occasionals for a draft pod of 360 cards. That's been working pretty well, you could say. Occasionals appear in most decks, sometimes 1, 2, or even 4 or 5, and they make an impact. All the archetypes I try to support with my core still show up and...

This card is actually close for me, but I just can't have red get a splashable 4/3 for three with upside, that's disgusting 2020s stats. If it was a 4/2 or 3/3 or even better, just cost {R/G}{R/G}{R/G} I would be all over it.

Mai, Jaded Edge Abbot of Keral Keep

Quake, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D Only card in the whole set(s) that's tempting me despite the aesthetics. Could be a really dynamic game piece and help further signalling white prowess.

They tricked me. I was going to skip this set as I really dislike Marvel. But they promised white prowess and I got too excited. And now the only cheap white prowess creature is this: Agent of Atlas Strictly worse Seeker of the Way! Just give it any minor upside like etb scry 2 or something...

I want to live in the parallel universe where these designs are in Shadowmoor Eclipsed, the second set of our winter block, together with the rest of the cycle.

God, Marvel and the whole superhero bs is so cringe.
