I used to love this one too! They broke this card with the rules update to split cards, unfortunately. You can't cast Bust for the price of Boom on cascade, etc. anymore

Everyone should read this article; Sam Black's genius strikes yet again: https://draftsim.com/blog/mh1-stream-control/ It's another iteration of the Baron deck that Grillo created in his environment, but in retail Modern Horizons draft, using splice.

That's where I'm at right now. I've found it very difficult to give up meat entirely, especially since growing up meat was the centerpiece of so many of our family's dinner meals. But earlier this year I stopped buying beef (which is the worst of the group environmentally) at the grocery and...

What I like about Kasmina is they fabulously bridge the gap between early game and late game. You get to stem early aggression with 2/2s and looting sets up your hand to hit land drops or mitigate flood, and find key threats to enter the late game with an advantage. It's a play-pattern that...

That's a really fascinating quote from Rosewater! An interesting thought is how a card might be designed to reinforce or dissuade those play-pattern mistakes: Untamed Kavu Sauroform Hybrid

Surprising to see no mention of Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves in this thread. Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves Granted, it's not in the core G/R colors and doesn't trigger on transform, but it's 6/6 of stats that can do a lot of work.

Has anyone played with or against this card yet? Bloodsoaked Altar It just reads like a sweet card. Makes you think, wins the game if its played properly, but also costly and expensive.

I took a look at it and it looks awesome! I'm also thinking about going in on the epic or legendary tier

Another big payoff for the lifegain decks are the pay life card draw spells in black: Skeletal Scrying Night's Whisper Read the Bones I think people have has success with this too: Lich's Mastery

I'm just going to spew some thoughts: White specifically needs a lot of help, close to a complete overhaul, in my opinion. To be fair, I don't love combat tricks in general, so some of the cuts are colored by that. I just think they're weak and don't do enough. (Feather, the Redeemed and...

I got wrecked by someone playing Smothering Tithe Emergency Power as a storm-type deck... I thought it was interesting

Has anyone here played Slay the Spire? It's a deck-builder dungeon-crawler hybrid and it's fantastic!

That was my conclusion as well. I didn't mean to say that Pelakka is unplayable or that no deck wants it, but it's going to take a lot more for a deck to play an expensive 4CCC card than a 2CC card. Nor am I trying to make a power-level analysis of the cards. I'm giving an example in the...

Look at the difference between, say Harrow Nissa's Triumph Harrow isn't going to (generally) be a poisonous ramp card, it has utility in other strategies (graveyard, lands-matter, sacrifice maybe) and can help splash other colors. Nissa's Triumph on the other hand, is only going into very...

If you couldn't tell from my numerous posts in the WAR Spoilers thread, I've had a blast drafting this format and want to take some of the designs from WAR and create a cube around them. This is a rough draft of what I think of the format, what's important, how it translates to Cube and what...

How many of each, Astrolab and Golem? 2? 3? 5?? Also makes me wonder what if Eager Construct cost {1}...

Speaking of juvenile sounding usernames, you should try having "the kid" in yours ;)

Is there an Aid the Fallen but for creature + non-creature permanant? I know they've printed a lot of variants on this over the years. Aid the Fallen
