After thinking about it with a less-sick head, I agree. Which raises the further question of whether or not custom cards also violate the spirit of the cube... I feel like they kinda do, because part of the exercise is pulling from a less-than-ideal set of cards.

Dumb question (I am sick, so brain no work good): How cheap would it feel if I included a cards like Ghor-Clan Rampager/Goblin Free-Runner/Ironhoof Boar/ in my "only MVs 2, 3, and 7 are allowed!" cube, if I also constrained it so that you could only "cast" them for their alternate costs? I'm...

As it should be.

I just find it really jarring that you only have distinctive art for a single iteration of the card.

I think my favorite aspect of that particular design is Lae'zel, Illithid Thrall

I mean, the thing is that a lot of the digital-only cards feel like candidates for Why MTG Cardsmith, so that's probably where they belong. :p More seriously: most of the digital-only cards that are actually conceptually interesting enough to try out in paper need a few tweaks before they work...

Suggestion: the digital-only sets should be exclusively brought up in either the Arena thread or the custom cards thread... because those are really the only two contexts where it makes sense to talk about them. "But they aren't custom cards!"... except that anyone who tries to do anything with...

I think that's just a sign that you need more 2/2 Goblins who make things with their right arms upraised for {2}{R}.

Random thought I had today: No Limits Modern would actually be more balanced if you combined it with a seven card version of 3-Card Magic. This is entirely due to the fact that Lovecraft completely invalidates Chancellor of the Dross hands.

C'mon, Velrun, you were supposed to go with You Are Ambushed On A Road Choose Your Weapon :p

I can't believe that you didn't judge my shitpost of a card. :p Congrats to TRAIN! I just wish that I had time/motivation to do up an actual entry (I had this kinda neat idea for a Saga version of Chance for Glory, but I couldn't figure out a good story/first chapter to go with it.)

Feh. Everyone knows that the true rhino deck is {W}{U}.

If you want a red token producer that loves it when you ramp... Tilonalli's Summoner

This thread can't be a joke — I'm not in it.

Bolt Hound I've been underestimating this boy. This is a good boy.

That's why the good lord gave us Smoke Shroud. :p In all seriousness, that's a solid point I didn't consider.

Isn't that more dependent on evasion than the game size? Like, if you're attacking with a Storm Crow because you want to ninjitsu in your Fish Waifu, villain having a creature with reach is going to stifle that plan a lot more than villain having a million soldier tokens.

Jumping off of that excellent post... I think that you can actually divide cards into four categories: Cards that vote for small games Cards that vote for big games Cards that require big games Cards that abstain from voting The first two categories are pretty obvious. The third category...

My only issue with the card is that it should make two 1/1 soldiers, since the 1/2 body clearly represents two inspectors working on different ends of town. ;)

The important question is... does that rarity restriction have to be based off of WotC's rarity, and not, say, your own personal evaluation? Like, maybe your format works best if Chart A Course is a "common" or if Bannerhide Krushok is a "rare" — if so, why not treat them that way (other than...
