Other potential discard outlets: Riddlesmith, Erratic Visionary

I'm also willing to accept that Haven might be too hard to support/swingy in this environment. Definitely something I'm thinking about!

What are cool Riptide trends that I've missed while being away while our son was young/pandemic? Any pet cards, design theories, or other cool things I should know? Link me!

I'm trying to limit the number of repeatable discard outlets so that the Haven player has to work for things a little bit. I'm okay with it being an aspirational card that sometimes goes off and makes a dozen drakes and other times doesn't make the maindeck. That said here are some options I'm...

It's still very weird to me which creatures in neo-Kamigawa are enchantments vs not. Newer cards show even less border, so the sparkly stuff is hard to see and the art itself doesn't speak "enchantment" to me.

This would be in addition to Beanstalk Giant, yeah.

Greater Tanuki vs Krosan Tusker

This is why I keep my cube list written down on a stack of slightly soiled napkins in the back of my car

I just read it for the lurid and titillating pictures

It's been a minute, but I'm excited to jump back into Riptide waters. I'll create a more formal write-up as I get more time, but wanted to get this thread made. (Hopefully no one else here is using this name for their cube.) I'm going for a retail limited power level environment based on...

Necromancy scales pretty directly with your environment's power level. It'd be perfectly fine in a retail limited environment that wasn't centered on the graveyard, for example.

Please do!

Was brainstorming an allied cycle of hybrid token-making lessons: WU - 5 mana 3/3 flyer UB - 4 mana 3/4 BR - 3 mana 3/2 menace; can't block RG - 4 mana 4/2 trample GW - 3 mana two 1/1s with vigilance (or a single 2/3 with vigilance) Do those seem about on-par with the rate of the Strixhaven cycle?
