    Sharzad v4 - The Passion of Tarkir

    Intent Isn't In Magic On my way to 1-3'ing a Traditional Draft of OTJ, Arena offers me a lore tooltip. The world will feel bigger, they think, if I get to read what Worldbuilding and Creative said about the major and minor factions on the plane. In the past I've thought they did this okay but...

    I'm still blown away by how clean these designs feel. Sure, there are 100-words-of-rules-text flipwalkers, but there's also really clean and bright designs everywhere you look. The Flare cycle is a Shohei Ohtani home-run, and having tried-and-failed to design my own free spells I'm particularly...

    all of these are awesome. can't wait to play with all of them, but I'm most excited about the Tamiyo and least excited about the Sorin.

    hey, i'm going to save you a lot of time. you misunderstood the original person's instructions. Github is like a big collaborative 'community' for software; you were recommended a certain person's free software (rather than the industry tool itself, which is what you've been asking for), and I...

    Creatures with Flying: Elemental Eruption Thunderclap Drake Hollow Marauder Slickshot Show-Off Nurturing Pixie Good cards for me and my format. Really really excited about "Elemental Eruption" as another Storm target that doesn't necessarily need the all-in get-to-ten-Storm wheels-and-rituals...

    Sharzad v4 - The Passion of Tarkir

    talked this over tonight after previously considering it (see below). I think I don't like 4x12 with my lands in the land box situation; i thought, oh, it's fun to see each pack exactly twice, but isn't some of the tension of 15-card-packs that, like, some of what you see won't wheel? (6 by 48...

    Also I don't think I've traded cards in a year or two. I give cards to friends or friends give me cards and if they're expensive foils or whatever we pay each other tcg mid, but otherwise the transaction is just a gift

    we are all fundamentally collectors of expensive cardboard with no "use value" outside of legitimate entry to tournament magic events. this is my hobby and I am a collector of magic cards, and the way I have fun collecting is through, for, maintained by, Cube. There's a lot of words posted above...

    It's on four cards; three of which are from the later Lorwyn sets (compared to "Glamour", which appears only once!) Makes sense to me to assume that it's a deliberately phonetic respelling of "glamour" for Lorwyn world that is now enough of a "Magic IP word" to get reused here in Cowboy Town.

    General Fantastic, all-around staples you might not be running

    The first time I gave Urborg Scavengers haste and then it got to attack and also get flying and lifelink i was like oh wow i get it now. beautiful card. Withdraw Unsummon++ that's worth a big mana blowout and which ALSO lets Hero feel incredibly smart for targeting their own creature and...

    Yes, and I think it's a clunky mess. Post Phyrexian Invasion 2, "Omenpaths" now connect planes to each other, allowing normal not-planeswalkers (legendary creatures, natch) to go from plane A to plane B, letting Wizards tell a bunch of stories. Fish out of water, new ideas that change an entire...

    And indeed I do! I'll reply to your numbered points and then more generally to your post. 1), 3), 4): yeah, totally. A lot of magic 'real world' flavour and costuming and cultural 'look' feels like it's just there as part of the styleguide for art commissioning. The Mardu/Kolaghan Horde feels...
