    General big games, small games and you

    Yes and no. I think 'The Deck'.dec votes for small games - it used things like Moat, Disrupting Scepter, Swords, Counterspell, etc - 1-for-1 or 1-for-n trades. So did Countertop control, in particular Miracles - Terminus takes a lot of resources off the board for a single {W}. But there have...

    Bonus Round is sick but only goes in storm. it's not a Past in Flames because you can't value-PiF it or do your like baby's value YawgWill, you need to storm out that turn. but it lets you generate a lot of mana and patches up some holes in a cube storm deck (which often lacks one of either draw...

    'SMALL GAMES' AND LEGACY-LITE 0) Preface Sam Black – one of Magic’s better theorists – says in a 2021/Kaldheim article that Elvish Visionary and Elderfang Disciple are a microcosm of an important game design choice – that players, decks, and even formats can “vote for big games” or “vote for...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    I'm still working on my 2022 iteration - I may have a playgroup again??? - but here are a few design theories I'd like my cube to test.

    General Which Shard/Wedge/Guild name is least intuitive to you

    "The Rock" wasn't just "a BG deck", it was "The Rock and his Millions", a specific two card combo. Those all became "The Rock", but "Junk" came not from 'the rock' as a name but from the (at the time) fact that it was "Janky Jund", or 'worse jund', therefore 'junk'. e: wow, no, I was wrong...
