    sharzad (safra's cube)

    I'm nervous about Lurrus but there's no reason I don't have the wheels besides iterative confusion. Breach is a little too easy to combo out with; if I need it, I'll add it, but right now YawgWill is filling a similar role, I hope....Lurrus I will keep out until I can draft in person and then...

    I spoke poorly. I find the Savant irksome. That's not a comment on its quality of fit with CN2 draft.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I briefly was like, oh, Arcane Savant is a cool way to cast a cheaper Dragonstorm, and then I remembered the games I had actually played with Arcane Savant, and then I shuddered in horror, and then I said no thank you. Cheap enablers for expensive archetypes are well and good (and I play Oath...

    You're missing that it costs 2 and can grow itself reasonably if you're in the late game and it's just you and Julio down by the grave yard. It doesn't have to "grow consistently" to be a 3/4 for 2, and in a lot of games its gonna be a lot bigger than a mere 3/4....

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    I play Berserk-Scale Up.dec constantly and it is one of the cooler things that Green in my cube gets to do. Scale Up in particular is very interesting and cool as a card. Being Sorcery-speed means you have to cast it before combat and that means casting it into Villain's open mana is a little...

    yes, yes, but it's kind of BS in cube because it incentivizes you to hate-draft off-colour fatties, preventing them from wheeling in the draft

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    DHA isn't a spells-matter payoff. it's a mulldrifter that doesn't care what you feed it. I skimmed your list and while DHA does not have a ton of food available anyone with a faithless looting and dha in their deck is probably very likely to have DHA be the best card in their 40 e: this said...

    General State of Design 2022

    Maybe I'm just being a snob, but Maro's kind of a boring writer, no? I refuse to accept that the Magic playerbase that reads these design articles is still stuck in grade school. Maro's writing is still more competent than the rest of the Wizards employees who call themselves writers (for whom...
