Not to dogpile or anything, but I dont think 'deserve' comes into it. WotC and I are in a strictly financial relationship. They produce product they expect to be liked enough (for whatever reason) to be profitable, I spend money on product I like enough to justify a given amount of money lost. I...

This was in the original version of my list which was just the highest CMC of each colour in my cube (Along with Astral Dragon, don't remember, Bogardan Hellkite and Craterhoof Behemoth) but my memories of INN/RTR are so dominated by X-cost stuff like Wolf-Run, Bonfire, and Sphinx's Rev that for...

This is one of a very short list where there is no wrong answer - every single one is fantastic in its own way. I voted for the NPH set printing only because my cube features my Japanese copy that won me many games in Pod decks in Standard. There were two of the prerelease foil in that deck too...

Rhox is perfect. Zee coming in with the single image truth bomb. I had to come back to add Deranged Hermit to my list of iconic green dudes and that I am ashamed of forgetting him. Literally -the- reason I collect all the Baloths. As far as actually contributing to the original topic, I wanted...

I dunno, I like the starker contrast of the set printing, the full art looks washed out to me - a shame as I quite like Boros for his charms.

I totally get it, its the lack of "iconic 6(ish) drop creature" at that power level that reminded me of the Welcome Decks battle to find a decent green creature to represent the colour, and how absurd it is that green is the colour without an iconic creature. I mean, they used Acidic Slime one...

I'm also feeling a bit down on the Eldrazi deck, but admittedly for very different reasons. Was hoping for at least one splashy colourless spells to reduce to 0 with Mizzix.

This is what I came here to say. I want the Magali art on Eternal Witness.

I love that four of the five cards in the OP were very frequently featured in the 30 card "Sample Decks" and "Welcome decks" Wizards used at conventions and such. And then there's Dreadmaw for green - especially funny as from memory the green "Iconic" creature in those decks changed every single...

I like most of Ravnic's picks, but I'd go Mirrodin for Blue and maybe Regatha for Red? Would have to scour core sets for cards from Regatha though. Cards that reference Keral Keep, etc. M10, Origins, M20, M21. Or include anything that references Jaya or Chandra since they spent so much time...

The "Awkward situation for opponent" is the entire reason it still sees any play in my cube, tbh.

A discard-matters card I've enjoyed since the first iteration of my cube: Spirit Cairn

I warped my entire cube around the power level of Astral Slide and it was worth it. It took less effort than you'd think - there's a lot of incidental overlap with *insert archetype that wants cards in graveyard* and *insert archetype that cares about ETBs*, not to mention *archetype that wants...

It's a shame the white Invokers are terrible (Well, the 2-drop ones, I'd recommend Dawnglare if it were a Mistral Charger). I like Suture Spirit on the kitchen table, but it's pretty weak outside of that. Might be what you're after though so. Dauntless River Marshal I have fond memories of...

Love this so much, especially as CCCC Hybrids (I want more of these in actual sets). Like, sure it's a little odd having the exemplar of a guild be castable with only one of that guilds colours but w/e who cares these are cool and splashy. Rakdos is about as strong as I'd make these before...

I'm more excited for extra reasons to do a Proliferate cube that Corrupted opens up - I like the 'threshold but for poison" as a incidental stop along the way before hitting 10 counters for lethal that makes like, a singleton Virulent Wound/Ichor Rats/Caress of Phyrexia/Pistus Strike worth a...

I love Duck//Duck, would very happily play that card. Now I really want to see a version of Who//What//When//Where//Why that's Duck//Duck//Goose. I'd play Object//Object if it was "{T}: Create one at random a Food a Treasure a Clue a Blood" Like, Wizards doesn't bother to describe tokens...

I just hope they never replace batches - Lightning Bolt and Giant Growth on the same creature would be too confusing if the order in which they were cast mattered.

Hah jokes on them I already only have one mum.

Would you play it if the ETB happened without delirium? I suspect you'd rather have a Thragtusk, Titania, Protector of Argoth, or Verdurous Gearhulk even in that situation. With the delirium condition, I think I'd rather Deranged Hermit. That's just on a powerlevel basis though - Ishkanah is...
