Nice reanimation, but I raise you one: Diabolic servitude For the grindy matchups

My cube has a fair amount of etbs/dies. It is just that you lose a creature and get tapped one’s back. So returning regular creatures is often quite an opening to be attacked. This was also the problem of the precon tombstone. However, if you return cards like Karmic guide Peregrine drake Dark...

So the if a card was warped is just to avoid stacking triggers to punish an opponent from warping or would it not be put on the stack if no card left and no warpers?

I have experience with victimize in my urza block cube. That is a cube where phyrexian gargantua would be on par as a target. The thing with victimize is that you need 2 targets, fodder, and since the targets enter tapped, you need to survive a turn. It might seem like a 2 for 1ish, but it is...

Well, I had a few decks in a few regular boxes like https://ultrapro.com/products/2-piece-clear-100-deck-box with us in a backpack my better half was carrying. Their internal scanner alarm went off due to the density of the cards and I had to unpack the backpack due to the deck boxes/magic...

Not at all. However, where do you want to start? There are some weird care about creature types in the old days. Let alone the powerlevel differences. rashida scalebane Blaster mage Spirit mirror Knight of the mists Endemic plague Extinction Goblin pyromancer Pure reflection Suleiman’s legacy...

There are more egregious combos than overburden and mass flicker/reanimate. It would be completely fine and much simpler with the controller returns (yes both old school and definitely new school).

Taste and objectively do not belong together in a post/sentence. To each their taste. I like the old border, it has much more a fantasy/magic feel to me. However, the old borders/frames and especially the white border frame combo had some reading issues. They made 2 changes: the first one is to...

Yes. So, use man-lands/opal/hidden/idol/tokens and you avoid the tax.

Yes strong cards. Thing is that the monger can be chumped for life. The kavu is strong, but a liability when the opponent has no creatures (which happens sometimes). Other times it's a 2 for one, which the ipa block is famous for. The burst is a 3 for 2. Edit: I am speaking from a draft/cube...

I will try to make a list. What website would you prefer?

Besides the ones already named: Draco Doomsday specter Shivan wurm It is hard to choose a favorite, but maybe: Tahngarth, talruum hero The ipa block was great. The games have a good pace (slow for these days), no power outliers which run away immediately and so on. The only thing is that...

This. Thousand times this. Old border wise is nonsense. However, desiring a certain power level is much more reasonable. Even some new cards fit in nicely with cards from set xxx from decades ago. There is a quite a power level difference between the old border sets. However, recent creatures...

Sarcasm and jokes are hard to pull off (on the Internet). Maybe somebody did not get it and thinks, yeah great idea without taking into account that it will be an outlier. Maybe they know this and their cube can handle it, who knows.
