    If the effect is valuable in your environment I'd find room for both.

    oh my gosh they accidentally printed a decent red enchantment (and then made it cost 4, natch, because why on earth should red get a playable card that doesn't cost 4)

    *SPOILERS* Star Wars: The Force Awaken

    afaict this is true. I think that even another 10 or 15 minutes might have made the movie feel too long, though - it was an incredibly tight 2hr15. A few scenes, maybe between Leia and New Republic politicos, could've helped contextualize stuff though. At the same time, Finn doesn't (seem to)...

    whydirt's peasant cube

    I've never really liked Pillory, you're Cubing a slightly stronger Arrest that goes in much fewer decks. If I could recommend any {B}{W} cards I'd absolutely suggest: Tidehollow Sculler (I love this card so much three or four other people can probably tell you why I like it. 'mesmeric fiend but...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've only had it out in one draft but it was amazing. Guessing blind is fun but manageable for the cube designer, and I successfully used it on both fetchlands and planeswalkers. Could've used it against Pod but never drew the thing. e: if anyone cares i think i'm going with the 'Instants and...

    Wait, didn't you make Nullstone Monolith? I have it listed as either you or anotak in my design doc. Nullstone Monolith, {2} Artifact When ~ ETBs, Pithing Needle effect. {T}: add {1} to your mana pool. e: also that next level shit thing is why good D&T players will tap Vial at weird times and...

    MTGO Legacy Cube updates ('holy shit, we did it!') are up. Summarized and quoted: -Vedalken Shackles isn't fun, blue is too strong, so bye-bye Shackles. What an encouraging start to the article! This is great stuff for the MTGO cube to be doing. -{B} devotion worked and people thought it was...

    The ASOIAF books were pr. important to me as a kid so I stopped being as into the show when it got all rapey between Jamie and Cersei. totally not how that scene played out in my head and I think a much, much worse directorial idea. When it got rapey with Sansa and Littlefinger I stopped...

    Hey, why not use the Moorland Haunt cycle to get {C} mana? That was my plan, anyway - I can't imagine anyone grabbing Wastes during my already-hotly-contested manabase building but another reason to incentivize Ghost Quarter or whatever seems fine. The Blasted Landscape idea is good too.

    Shit gets weird. I actually think it's really clever to have the entire first season do what the first two episodes might in a less ambitious show - sketch out the characters, introduce them to each other, let us think of them as people - since there's going to be so much dissolution of self...

    Red and black could get in on the flash cube with a lot of haste, maybe?

    Yeah I straight-up loved that thing. His Madison Square Garden set (on Netflix!) is also really good.

    whydirt's peasant cube

    Rites is much stronger and more interesting to boot. Altar's Reap really sucks outside of a sacrifice-centric deck and even there, wow, you spent a card and change and two mana to get two cards. Everywhere else you're paying mana to kill your guy, so it's, like, really conditional Cycling. You...

    Oh hey guys I thought the same thing but uh "Overwhelming Denial 2UU Instant (R) Surge UU Overwhelming Denial can't be countered by spells or abilities. Counter target spell." e: it's much stronger than Last Word (which was never really that exciting) because the matchups where you actually...

    Card/Deck Eldrazi Spawns/Scions

    There's no card named "Eldrazi Spawn". Also, I wouldn't design around the needs of people who don't really play Magic unless that's the lion's share of your playgroup. Trinket text is nothing new, and Devoid is usually trinket text.
