This is a really cute card. I'm not sure it's good... but it's cute.

No, wait, it's clearly a Ruthless Technomancer sacrificing a Colossal Dreadmaw while a Professional Facebreaker is on the battlefield! I'm surprised we didn't notice it sooner! (In all seriousness, it's a Commune With Lava with X=3 that makes three Treasures.)

It's a Cleaver Riot with artifact synergies and a bear attached. Also, when was the last time Red got Overrun? (No seriously, remind me — it seems like something that would have a color-shifted version.)

I mean, I'm actually happy that it has a "non-competitive" body. I kinda hate how efficient creatures have gotten in general.

You know, it's weird, but... I kinda wish that WotC didn't push so many of the Treasure cards? I do like these two, though: Swashbuckler Extraordinaire is sweet because it gives you a really solid alternate use for your Treasure tokens. Young Red Dragon is just a nice, clean design.

This thing is surprisingly good once you take into account that one of the new Gates makes your Gates enter the battlefield untapped...

Something just clicked in my head. You know what "format" this set is going to really help? Custom Jumpstart packs. We're going to have a second Thriving cycle which will probably be cheaper. On top of that, those new Thriving lands are Gates, which means that you can make a set of packs where...

Hmm... this actually articulates why I don't like a lot of the WAR-IKO era of design. Thanks for sharing!

I'll admit, I do undervalue effects that are super common within a color (so Pyrotechnics ends up looking less awesome than White Regrowth.)

Crystal Dragon does seem to be the best one in the cycle so far. Compare: I am amused at how many people are complaining about Emerald Dragon, though.

I feel like the best signal for Gate synergy (especially if you're running it alongside cycles of better duals) is something like Open the Gates Especially if you're running some of the new Gates.

This is 100% not my final submission. This is also why I don't generally bother to make customs these days...

Alaundo seems like an interesting fellow, especially if you have an "untap creatures a bunch of times" archetype in your cube. I'll be honest with you all — I hate this style of card. I don't like the feeling that WotC is building my deck for me, ya know?

Mistress Af Peeing Indoors, please. LordMopi is my nemesis from the mirror universe.

Master Of Dying In Nevada?

I mean... the big difference is that you can aim a kill spell at Immersturm Predator before combat and feel assured that you aren't going to have to deal with a big indestructible dragon attacking or blocking this turn — Aristo just rips a token's throat open, laughs at your removal spell, and...

Remember, this is good ol' "vintage doesn't have good enough mana" blacksmithy you're talking to. ;) I love it.

I'd honestly say that it's more of a 4C "archetype" at this point, with most of the explicit support living in Rakdos/Jund and Blue loving artifacts in general. ... As someone who has tried multiple iterations of making a Treasure-themed cube... you really need to nail down exactly what you...

You are correct there. I still think it's pretty clunky, but it's less clunky than I thought it was.

I just hate that, cards-as-written, you can't really use the initiative cards with the pre-existing venture cards. That's just clunky design, WotC! (I mean, yes, cards that go "do THE THING when you complete a dungeon" work, but you can't choose to venture into the Undercity unless you have an...
