Chart A Course, though.

Winning is generally better than losing... but both are less important than playing a good game. I'd rather lose a game with a bunch of back-and-forth than win a game because my opponent flooded.

Yeah, Curve is solid because it counts instants and sorceries you have exiled as well. On a similar (albeit non-blue) note, may I interest you in a Kinetic Augur? EDIT: Is judging cards based on how well they "curve out" really appropriate when looking at cards for a "spells" deck? I've...

Phage is the funniest target for Fractured Identity (or its jankier cousin, Mystic Reflection + Slaughter Specialist).

The floor for Saga is that you play it into a Blood Moon and then get really sad. (For anyone who isn't already aware: Blood Moon turns Urza's Saga into an Enchantment Land - Mountain Saga with more counters on it than the number of chapters it has... which leads to it going to your graveyard...

Zodiac Dog

The thing about Saga is that spending your mana on it is really solid if you actually have targets for Chapter 3. If you have just one other artifact, your first activation gives you a 2/2 for {3} (that turns into a 3/3 on your next upkeep), and your second activation effectively gives you a 4/4...

Yeah, the thing about Saga is that the decks that it has done really well in (in Modern at least) are either artifact decks where it's both a good tutor and a way to fart out big tokens for the long game (Hammertime and Lantern Control come to mind), and Amulet Titan... which has more mana than...

Pokemon's art has gotten way weirder since I was a kid. As for it being a "conspiracy" that WotC tries to time their releases... I'd honestly be surprised if someone told me that they didn't do that. That's just common sense for media properties, with the hope being that people who like a thing...

Now, now, let Ravnic have their little ritual. ;)

Yep! I like it a little better than Fungal Rebirth, since it's still an OK card if you don't have a good target.

You know what's potentially a sweet "grab a card from your graveyard" card? You Happen On A Glade

Yeah, you'd have to have an incredibly high density of high-impact artifacts or enchantments for a straight Disenchant to be worth it.

My brain wanted either that one, a cube where your draw for the turn was replaced by a Brainstorm, or one where everyone starts with a Yet Another Aether Vortex effect. The second one doesn't feel like it justifies itself, and the YAEV cube kinda hurts my brain whenever I think about it. EDIT...

Memnarch is the kind of dude who steals all of his furniture from his neighbor.

Lands is a clumsy one, because I'm playing with the idea of a cube where only cards of a given color can be of a given color. So artifacts and lands being tied to a color would be... clumsy.

I'm thinking... Dreamroot Cascade

I mean, Black's thing is "I can do anything, as long as it hurts me to do it", so I'm not terribly surprised.

Kinda random question: what would you all say is the most "iconic" type for each color? My first instinct is something like... White: Enchantment Blue: Instant Black: ??? Red: Sorcery Green: Creature
