    That's probably what's been unsatisfactory about them to me. Hint #3: these are the hint cards

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I don't think that's quite accurate, as the use case for Thromok is mainly in board stalls. You don't want to drop the Wurm when you're behind, as you need multiple blockers (this is all assuming that both decks play to the board, but I think that's a safe assumption for us here). You don't want...

    Islandwalk All jokes aside, evasion isn't the whole problem here, and if I was reworking this card I'd give it both trample and hexproof/ward. Part of the dream is making this a 16/16 and beating an opponent to death with that, but evasion is only part of the battle; this can be a 100/100 with...

    No, but I'd be interested in knowing what made you guess that!

    General Guess the Card

    No, sorry--you know how Un-cards can reference something like the number of words in the name of the card or whether or not a character in the art is wearing a hat but traditional black-border cards can't? One of the clue cards relies on a mechanic that is similarly silver-bordered. Concrete...

    Good clarification--"Un-clue" means that the clue is about something that Un-sets care about/something that black-border/non-acorn sets will never reference.

    Nope! Hint #1: the card I'm thinking of is a specific printing of a specific card. Hint #2: one of the four cards that is a clue is an Un-clue. (Hint #2.5: this both is and isn't the same clue as clue 1!)

    No to both, unfortunately, but I've always liked that card, Onderzeeboot, so thanks for reminding me of it! Hint #1: the card I'm thinking of is a specific printing of a specific card.

    Four hints, four distractions! I have three additional hints in case this is trickier than I expected. Faithless Looting Thorn Elemental Shigeki, Jukai Visionary Insurrection Mirri, Cat Warrior Ponder Etchings of the Chosen Eidolon of the Great Revel

    General Monthly Fun Q: What's your favorite thing or topic on Riptidelab?

    My favorite posts are the ones that highlight obscure but solid B-list cards that everyone else has either forgotten or never knew existed in the first place. The shitposts are a close second. For threads as a whole, I'm a fan of the classic "ask a question answer a question" threads--Fight...

    Taking a step back, I think that what what you want these slots to do re: cross-pollination of archetypes is more important than the quesiton of which card is best in a vaccuum. The Dowser and Wall are really combo pieces for a Ghostly Flicker deck and will be 23rd cards in any other deck unless...

    I run Ruination Rioter And have run wort, the raidmother With a lot of token makers (e.g. Krenko's Command) for Gruul go-wide. But these are a little unintuitive.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Stitched Together Liliana, Death's Majesty Profane Command At least one of these likely counts as low-powered.

    What? Google is telling me that losschicken is at least approximately German for "send off," but from context I suspect that's not what you meant. Unless that's German slang for life drain??

    As a cute Limited gimmick, stickers sound great. Sharpie cubes and the like are a huge hit for this exact reason. As an eternal mechanic played in formats with cards worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars, stickers sound miserable even if only for the grief potential alone. I know that MaRo...

    The Smooth Twin Cube

    Clarification--do you have to play cards in doubles? Or do you just get two copies of each card and then get to choose? Apologies if I am reading this wrong, I am both sleep-deprived and jetlagged.

    It's the opposite of Flames of Moradin because it's a real card. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a sky to wave my old-man walking stick at.

    General Fight Club

    Thallid is very slow (T5 before you see another body in the best-case scenario) and is a hard stop to aggro by being an 0/5 for 2. If you are okay with that it can definitely be powerful in that role--heck, many midrange decks will struggle to punch through that without spending removal--but I'm...
