This is honestly one of the better-designed color hate cards I've seen so far: That flavor text is super clunky, though — it has that "we're trying to sound math-y but we refuse to ask anyone who actually does stuff with math for ideas" issue that a lot of Quandrix flavor text had. It also...

Another excuse to run Vision Skeins

I think you missed part of the metaphor, Ravnic — when you cast Invasion of Ravnica, you're the invader, and Guildpact Paragon is your prize/the reason why you're invading. The initial effect is your declaration that you're pursuing that goal, and they can block your forces because that...

If I run one battle, it will be that one, if only for the flavortext on the back. :p

I would like to highlight this little friend: Guildsworn Prowler The body might be kinda small these days, but it can trade up against pretty much anything (either because you used it to chump something bigger, or you drew a card off of someone blocking it), it dissuades people from destroying...

Honestly, what else do we know about Segovia other than the fact that, by some twist of the multiverse, it's incredibly tiny? It has only gotten four cards, after all, including the Battle: Segovian Leviathan The Hippodrome Segovian Angel EDIT: I guess it'd be Tiny Rome, judging by the...

Golden Fields Land — Plains {T}: Add one mana of any color. Spend this mana only to pay for white spells or abilities from white sources. Mocking Tidepools Land — Island Mocking Tidepools enters the battlefield tapped unless you discard a card. Hellbent — {T}, Add one mana of any color...

Yeah, it all feels like a little... much? I'm also not a big fan of the Incubator tokens being double-sided and involving +1/+1 counters — that seems like it'd be overly fiddly in paper.

My eyes are sliding off most of the designs, but these three are kinda neat: The Seer and Artisan seem like they'd do well in the Capitalism Cube (moreso the Seer, but the Artisan's just interesting). Voldaren Thrillseeker, on the other hand, is a shoe-in for one of my 2-3-7 projects — it...

It's not that it's slow, it's that Jordan's character work is garbage. Wheel of Time is only really worth reading for the (pretty decent) world-building, in my opinion (and Mat. It really should've just been a series about Mat trying desperately to run away from his destiny, with all of the big...

OK, so... now I know to never take book suggestions from you. :p (I got to book... 10? I think? The one where he decided to stop the plot to catch us up with literally every side character he ever introduced? And that was during my teenage years when I would read literally anything, no matter...

Yeah... I'm not really feeling it? At least not as a DFC-only card type.

My goal was to strike up some flavor of discussion... which was a rousing success! :marofl: In all seriousness, though... my question is, in a roundabout way, about the draft (I just phrased it badly, because I just finished work and was sleepy). Basically... if you saw Spring//Mind in a draft...

Legitimate question: how would you classify these cards? Spring//Mind Road//Ruin and would you classify them the same way if the Aftermath part only had a single colored pip? EDIT: To clarify, would you be willing to sort these into the mono-green part of your cube, or would you feel the need...

The latter, pretty much.

All I know is that I want to see someone go T3 W&R into T4 Expand The Spheres + W&R ult. Because that's going to be standard legal, and won't be toxic at all. In all seriousness, though, I think it's pretty solid, even if you mostly just treat it like a 3/3 haste hexproof vigilance that...

This is nothing new. I remember that people used to joke that the Magic writing team couldn't visit a plane without hitting it with an apocalypse or some other major world-shattering event, with some planes getting two or more. I think Arcavios and Eldraine are the only planes we've visited so...

The frustrating one is this dang Cat Beast: Kaheera, the Orphanguard Control decks look at this and go "wow, thanks, I wasn't planning on running any creatures in the first place!" And then Snapcaster Mage cries in the corner...

I tinkered with Oathbreaker a little bit a while ago. It's fun if everyone is messing around, but it immediately falls off the cliff into Sweaty Try-Hard Land if people are playing it seriously. Which is a shame, because I really liked how my ramp deck played: Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Primal...

Don't forget to let everyone have a background too! ... I wonder if a better route for the Specialize commanders would be to print all five versions (the unspecialized version + all of the gold "sides"), bundle the sides off to the side, and have drafters cash in the unspecialized version at...
