Priest is a really unique sacrifice payoff especially you can use the mana jump for something big like Living Death

noting that I don't have an interest in this for future (non-)tagging purposes

Gilded Goose Nest Invader Ranger Class Call of the Herd Chatterfang, Squirrel General Lovestruck Beast Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Garruk Wildspeaker Esika's Chariot Toski, Bearer of Secrets Pest Infestation Earthcraft Evolutionary Leap And of course everyone likes Squirrels: Squirrel Dealer

Coming back to the thread title after all this time, I think Stompy can be a lot more interesting now but most of the other themes that have emerged since then are still not well supported. The exception is RG Tokens, which has a lot going for it: - The card pool is deep enough that you can...

I don't think the partner mechanic affects the costing of Commander cards as much since they are aimed exclusively at that format where usual mana curve considerations etc don't apply

Treasure Map is the original and best Treasure card, it's an amazing design and belongs in basically any Cube IMO. Galazeth Prismari is worth a mention too if you want an Urza-style effect that's less pushed and more targeted. Here's a sketch of a version that's ok with stuff like Ragavan...

It has the Tezzeret Agent of Bolas problem where it just kills them before it can reliably unlock any sweet interactions

Populate is one of those mechanics that doesn't have many pushed cards to choose from and the best one doesn't even have the mechanic: Esika's Chariot I do think Sundering Growth is a highly underappreciated Cube card though

Glad to have you back!

Some more variant format action - first, Australian 7 Point Highlander Then a deck tech + matches with Cephalid Breakfast in a Pre-Innistrad Legacy League:

Another Set Roulette Top 8! There's usually one deck that's much more popular and successful than the rest and it's funny that it wasn't Valakut or Flash + Worldspine Wurm this time but good old Merfolk: As someone who writes (and now podcasts weekly) about Modern I was keen to see what did...

The thin border just doesn't frame the card well IMO. The 8th Edition frame with the thick black border looks so much cleaner to me

men posting each other's Ws online (if Jason gets in the Most Liked Posts for my tournament result , is that stolen valor?)

Yeah unfortunately MH2 was just kidding about supporting Delirium, there really aren't any good new payoffs beyond the one-drop.

Trickery is banned in Modern, where you actually can 'go off' with it fairly consistently but it's highly volatile and just a miserable play experience all around. Casual Arena players really really want it gone in BO1 Standard though

I don't follow the argument here. You do a good job of highlighting the diversity that Looting and Opal brought to the format but then seem to elide all those decks together. Look at the various Opal decks for example: Affinity - Iconic, old-school aggro deck (with some combo elements) Hardened...

The thing with Herald of Anafenza is that there's a pleasing amount of cheap white creatures that are also good mana sinks while being more impressive across the board: Kytheon, Hero of Akros Usher of the Fallen Student of Warfare Figure of Destiny
