You're right, I think they are on par with each other. Personally I like them, just would add more beef to Tangela and a higher mana cost (1/4 for 1G?).

That caterpie is way stronger than the Tangela. I'd give Tangela more toughness, it has high defense in the games. Psyduck might be too good, since it shoots down so many mons starting on T1.

It is a color pie break to give it Fire Spin? Deals 1 damage to up to 3 target creatures. Those creatures do not untap during their controller's next untap step. My idea with Golbat and Crobat was to represent Supersonic and Confuse Ray. I don't remember if you liked the ability words in AFR...

Zubat reminds me of Leech Life, Supersonic and Confuse Ray. Maybe something like this? Zubat G Flying, Lifelink 1/1 Golbat 1G Flying When Golbat enters the battlefield, exile the top card of that player’s library. Until end of turn, you may play that card. 2/1 Crobat 3G Flying, Haste Whenever...

Very power level dependent of course. Acolyte can be good in small-creature-land (like my cube) because it's effectively unblockable by toughness <= 2, and if blocked will trade up a lot of the time. Scab-Clan Berserker is kind of bland to me and I think it's actually worse, especially with the...

I think it lines up well: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/elegant?f=tag%3Acore+tou%3D1&view=spoiler You're coming out ahead against most of these. Best targets are probably the fliers and the engines like Dark Confidant, Grim Lavamancer, Blood Artist, Birds, Metallic Mimic. Even vs "bad"...

Esper Sentinel is way, way above my power level. I run Knighted Myr already, actually tested him for the first time yesterday with low expectations and it was quite good. Equipment works well on it, and it made a pretty good team with a suicidal Arcbound Ravager. It would've been a cute...

Monoskelion I'm having some trouble to gauge the power level of Monoskelion, both in synergistic and good-stuff decks. Looking to replace Arcbound Javelineer, which wasn't very good even in a deck where it should be a great fit.

Bruvac the Grandiloquent

If it's going to be uncomfortable, might as well look good. Dhund Operative Nice long sleeves to hide some weapons, too.

I guess it really depends on what you want: Push artifacts theme? Thirst for Knowledge Control card draw? Thirst for Discovery Proactive deck card draw? Compulsive Research Push enchantments theme? Thirst for Meaning

Big mosquitoes require drastic solutions.

Absolutely. This is the one structural thing I do in my cube. I'm very hesitant to deviate from the basic, simple booster draft structure when playing with 4+ people. It does add some complexity points to the designer, but to players it can be as transparent as they want or need. They don't...

I've made a lot of minor updates since 5.2 (I'm at 5.2.16 now!) but it's mostly small changes: - Removing creaturelands to rein in 5c control - Balance the speed of the format - it remains a slow environment, but it seems to vary from draft to draft quite a it - Remove white from the graveyard...

Now that I got several drafts with them, I can say occasionals have worked quite well! I've refined the concept further: I am now frontloading occasionals, so that the first booster has 2, the second booster has 1, and the third (and fourth+ if playing with more boosters) have 0. This is...

Has anyone tried Saga in a lower power, slower environment like mine? I probably wouldn't run it anyway because it's so weird and complicated and gimmicky, but I'm curious.

Hidetsugu is such a disappointment. Original one had a cool "I swing my club at everyone equally and don't give a fuck" ability: Heartless Hidetsugu New one is just a generic pushed card that sacrifices creatures because it's black, deals damage because it's red, and draws cards because the...

53/360 or 14.7% of my cube's core was printed this year. That's about expected, I'm running a lot of cards from Kaldheim and AFR mostly, plus a handful from MH2. And that's even trying not to change the core module much. This year we got great cards for non-poisonous tribal, a focus on artifact...

Yeah, I share the feeling that it's too early to say. Well, Battle for Zendikar was a terrible return that replaced all we liked from Zendikar with tentacles. It could be that Neon Dynasty is just as bad, but they've probably learned from BFZ that returning to a world just to lay waste to it is...

I'm optimistic that they retained the essence of Kamigawa and it doesn't feel like a completely different plane. However, I share Ravnic's fear that the tone is too different from the original. I wouldn't read too much into the Collector Booster art, though. That probably just means the...
