Oops. I guess you have one mana left for another one :p

More good news, the {g/u} bicycle land was leaked from the commander release. Fingers crossed they also give us the missing {w/b} and {u/r} versions.

This is my favorite from all the leaked stuff today. This spoiler season already made me so happy.

How is Moonshadow hard work at all? Crack a fetch and you got yourself a 2/2 menace for {B}. Cast a Faithless Looting and swing with a 4/4 on turn two. I am really clueless regarding constructed, but I'd be shocked if it doesn't see play, probably even in modern. Btw, where did you get that...

Another one I would love a discussion about: Nevinyrral's Disk Besides being very hard to spell, how much worse is this than Day of Judgment? (it should be, as it's colorless) Is it better or worse than a Day of Judgment for {5} would be? I thought it could help motivate people to draft mono...

These decks look fun! Seems like you guys had a good holyday!

I think I'll cut all cards I said I was okay cutting except Prosperous Innkeeper – that guy has just overperformed too often. The eight cuts will be replaced by the following. Avenger of Zendikar Zendikar's Roil Courser of Kruphix Three more landfall effects. Lair of the Hydra Crawling...

Rampaging Baloths A 6-drop with ramp will always feel underwhelming or at least not super high powered to me – but I also notoriously undererstimate landfall cards. Is it crazy to run Baloths at lower power? Would you say it is worse/better than Honored Hydra?

Another thought that recently plagued me was how my green section might be a little too divers. So, for each color there are 3-4 themes that usually can only be a deck's main idea if you add at least one other color. For example, for white that is: Blink (mostly {W/U}, sometimes {W/B}) Tokens...

I once had an idea how to potentially craft a cube that allows for more-like-constructed decks being drafted. The idea might be shit but I'll share it anyway, maybe you could build upon. It was about a smaller draft (2×15 or 3×10, you'd have to figure that out) from a singleton draft pool. And...

Happy holydays to all my riptiders. And may the upcoming year be like a super fun 3-0 draft for all of you.

Are there ways to bounce or blink the trinket? Then synthesizer all the way. If not it's closer and I'd lean towards the card that doesn't create a unique token.

https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/1d087f5b-a485-431f-b36b-41519442b4d0 You think that deck would be good?

I think I might try Temporal Spring. It has that certain elegance of Apocalypse gold cards. Yeah, I think it will be very playable. It's almost Vindicate if you squint, right? Nothing that makes you force {G}{U} but a reward for being on that track. And I don't mind the Uproot mode. As a gold...

Yeah, that's awesome, I'm running two copies in my RAV block cube to give simic some interaction. But this is for my main cube where I don't have 0/0s running around :/ Plaxmanta is cool, but what I'd prefer would be something that interacts with opposing threats in some way.
