    Iconoclast is probably stronger, but Saheeli is way more fun thanks to that -2.

    Given that this leak amounts to "literal scraps of cards left over from a shredded recycling bundle", I'm not sure how much stock I put in the various theories of what this all means about the future of the game. (A part of me finds it absolutely hilarious how we've gone from "the leak is a...

    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    Gandalf should actually be an Angel, while Tom should be an Avatar (he's heavily implied to be a manifestation of Middle Earth itself).

    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    Some other cards that have caught my eye so far: 1) I hope we have a Food subtheme. C'mon, give me a Food subtheme, Wizards! 2) Depending on what it means to be tempted by the Ring... Sam looks like a really solid 2-drop. 3) I hope Tom Bombadil is a sign that we're going to have more Sagas...

    White Remand is great, and I love it.

    General Bosses vs leaders: a dichotomy in archetype definers

    I think boss vs. leader is a cuter way of putting it, though. :p --- While it might seem like leaders are what you generally want, there is one feature of bosses that should be kept in mind: you can push them harder than leaders, because they aren't working yet. :p In less cryptic terms...

    I've been thinking about Train's wise argument, and it's hit me: The format that Cube is closest to is EDH, since it's all about singleton decks that are more than the sum of their parts (with some bombs thrown in to the mix). The reason why I don't think Cube feels like normal Constructed is...

    I'd be intrigued to see how modern-day WotC would approach Planar Chaos. (I don't think they'd dare, to be honest)

    On T3 it cantrips or leaves you with 2 open mana for more creatures or interaction. :p

    I like the idea of making one them an Enchantment, actually. Both because Enchantments tend to be a bit more build-around-y (so you're less likely to have people just pick a big bruiser as one of their companions), and because it's relatively easy to find build-around enchantments that aren't...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    A little bit of the stuff that Velrun brings up, but also just the fact that one-on-one magic has a very different balance point from multiplayer magic. I dunno, I just kinda wish the Magic had one power band it tried to stick to and not the four or so that we actually have.

    I really hate that there are so many cool designs that Don't Play Well With Others because they were designed for Commander or whatever.

    If you want to avoid "I made three counterspells my companions!", just restrict the card types that you can turn into a companion.

    I find it really disappointing that there isn't really a middle ground between the following two cards: Glassdust Hulk Kappa Cannoneer EDIT: Wait, am I reading the Cannoneer right? It looks like it triggers itself on ETB, so Sneak Attacking it (or Arms Racing it) into play will give you an...

    Green's still a bit rough if you're ignoring artifact hate: Alloy Animist Ancient Stirring Teething Wurmlet Carapace Forger Lifesmith Sarinth Steelseeker Lifecraft Awakening Tawnos' Tinkering That said, Green can get in on the fun if you play up its token and +1/+1 counter themes, and if you...

    I think bringing up Pauper is also a good reminder that card viability is format dependent. It's easy to discuss cards in a vacuum and go "in comparison to every card ever, this card sucks/is fantastic/makes me want to scream", but the only time that we actually look at cards in a vacuum is...

    Two comments: 1) Last I checked, CawGate ({W/U} Gates) was T1/high T2. 2) ONE adding more Proliferate to Pauper means that there's a bunch of brewing involving the depletion lands right now.

    You'd be legitimately surprised at how many common lands end up seeing play in Pauper, purely because most of them suck out of control. --- On a slightly different topic... A cube where mana of one particular color is paid for by gaining poison counters instead of through spending mana is...
