I don't know if squeaky clean paragon of virtue is how I'd characterize MHW devs or Minecraft devs either, but it's a hell of a lot nicer to be on the receiving end of generosity stemming from rational self-interest rather than naked greed coming from the same. They're also doing a bit for...

Seconded on the Auriok Salvagers. Scrapyard Recombiner is another very good friend with Scrap Trawler - at least, they get along very well indeed in my list. I don't run Ravager (Which is sadly a Beast not a Construct), but I assume they would get along too. Hangarback Walker, Containment...

On the topic of environments that are full of discard-triggers and are glacially slow: Tectonic Reformation Easy to overlook, as the "red do-nothing enchantment" slot is pretty crowded in the discard-matters area - Molten Vortex, Lightning Rift, Seismic Assault, Curse of Chaos, or if you're...

Yeah Pyromancer is nuts. I like Pia and Kiraan because they're good where you want them, great sometimes, but not an autoinclude in "Deck that can get to {R}{R}" - plus I love Siege-Gang "Go wide, give reach" top ends for red decks that just need to get the last few points of damage in. OTOH...

Cemetery Protector, Sigarda's Vanguard and Phantom Steed are some spicy includes for bant flash. How are you finding Jolrael? I have a really high density of cycling and she just wasn't doing all that much for me. You also look like you're juuust at the threshold of self-mill and creatures that...

As like Julie Dillon is another one I'd totally missed due to small sample size, but I love that Thought Scour and her Breya is gorgeous too - I suspect my partner will want to replace all their Deathbringer Liege's too now :P I'd thought about Hynninen, but she only has STA cards so far, and...

To be fair though, Eclipse Phase was also the better game

Not all her works are amazing, but I'm a big fan of Burmak's rendition of Zegana, and Practical Insight makes me feel the same way as Nielsens FoF. And now there's Extinguish the Light, too. That said, you are entirely correct on changing the list for Sam Guay - I've never seen their work...

It's gimmicky as shit but I run Second Sunrise and Faith's Reward in a Friendly Armageddons EDH deck. It may not be cube, but I can confirm they're both really sweet in lands.dec The incidental crossover with aristocrats is kinda neat too, but a bit meh - it's cool if you run stuff like...

Not going to lie, while I disagree with some specific points you make, I do agree in general. I don't think an eternal format is in a good place when it's in essence Horizons Block Constructed but there are a variety of decks even if they share a significant percentage of their cards. While...

I'm sad to see him go too, the nostalgia is real - this is the copy of Huntmaster that came out of the same pack as a Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and a foil Vorapede, to the immediate disbelief of all present. All three of those cards saw play in FNM-winning standard decks of mine (Angel of Glory's...

It's not even on the reserved list though, it got removed from it 20 years ago. They've reused the original art before on a modern border foil (Though with Tedin's signature edited out) for the judge gift program. It's not only cropped but also washed out as hell. It's like they photocopied the...

No it can't possibly be a proxy, proxies are for playing with and aren't worth any money. Speculators will buy this in droves and leave them in sealed plastic boxes in the hope that someone else will want to pay for a piece of cardboard to keep in a sealed plastic box. It's a 'collectable'.

It's going to be able to be 4/4 a lot, but I was worried about it leading players into making the wrong call when using it next to Flashback and Delve. Probably not a good enough reason to not run Red Looter Goyf :P. I had been leaning towards the Theorist, but this convinced me. While I had...

Damage on the stack is a cool suggestion to making self-bounce stronger. Lets you play old blue favourites like Aquamoeba too

I can confirm Deathreap Ritual is real, but it's no Dark Prophecy or Liliana, Dreadhorde General. I'd still run Midnight Reaper before every other card mentioned though - goes in the most decks out of all of them. I have two conundrums (Conundra?) to place before you: Conspiracy Theorist...

I'm just happy I got out of all constructed formats with SL:TWD, and now only acquire cards from other people and the two FLGS I like. We had the worst Standard since like, Urza's block, with nothing but "No this is fine its how we do things now" philosophy of fire nonsense (I wish they'd don't...

This is a sweet idea - I've toyed around with Esper Sagas for a peasant Duplicate Sealed I'm putting together with cards like Thrull Parasite and Clockspinning, and that pile also has a bunch of the channel enchantments from NEO, but I'd never even -thought- about Replenish. This is so...

Aww man I love this! Do you perhaps have some sort of newsletter I can subscribe to? I tried to make this happen in the first iteration of my cube with Melek and Rashmi and it just did not come together. Kept all the support cards because they're needed for the CMC-Burn and Miracles stuff, and...

So, as we learned today with Mishra, you can have almost 150 words on an official magic card. 90 seems perfectly acceptable :P
