I've liked doubling up on IOK so far - really pushes home 'CMC 3 matters', along with tec edge and decay. Most of my X spells get hit by it too, which is nice. I feel like two discard spells isn't quite enough, but I'm not sure if the solution is 1-mana Addle or re-adding Hymn. I'll see which...

Land's Edge I'm still testing. Maybe it should be Seismic Assualt but RRR is awful and I think the 'each player' drawback adds some tension. (it doesn't hit creatures so you don't have to worry that all your dudes get killed by free shocks.) Hoping to make Loam less poisonous with the...

never, never, maybe, maybe no depends on if you have fast mana design mistake yes maybe the perfectly balanced card from the boon cycle, slightly too strong for my list but fun enough that i want to fix that what, are you supporting storm? is this playable in a madness/flashback heavy red...

Modern i think?? deathrite got banned, nacatl got banned / unbanned

I think the ones that don't see Legacy play might not be totally bullshit. That's: armageddon (cataclysm instead? aggro finisher that's subtler than 'blow up all the lands' and has more game), flare/gauntlet, fork (dualcaster mage instead though??), ankh (zozu?? i really don't like this one...

So wow, "drastically [lowering] the curve" turned out to be a lot better of a design choice than 'wildfire and karoos'. Whodathunk. I could write some bs about lessons i've learned ('shamelessly lift from riptidelab so i don't have to do as much testing') but speaking personaly i don't get as...

Seconding Ophiomancer, that dude is way more fun than 'deathtouch blocker, and then more of those' should ever be. e: Turn Aside is awful and way too conditional, even at one mana. It might be fixable if it was counter target spell / ability, but jesus, there's no way that'd cost 1. i've had...

I ran it for a while. It's dope. See also Cave-In for a usually worse effect at sorcery speed. e: this is assuming you plan on using this w/ Prowess, where the selection and speed of pyrokinesis far outweigh a control deck wanting to drop a planeswalker and wrath in the same turn, which imo...

Lolita is sublime, and when it gets really boring at the end and you want to stop, remember that Humbert Humbert is an unreliable narrator. Pale Fire is his best work, though, I think.

The best "metabook" is Nabokov's Pale Fire, which is nothing short of a literary masterpiece. One of the best things I've ever read and I return to it pretty regularly when I'm looking for another book to read on the bus.

whoops, didn't see this! it's been okay. CMC 2 instead of power 2 (like 'llark or Alesha) hurts a bunch, but it's better than it looks. sacrifice decks like recurring a bunch of dudes (and can tap tokens to Convoke!), weenie decks get scaling wrath protection, i haven't tried it in Pod but i...

Jace the Mind Sculptor will never be unbanned in Modern, ever. Brainstorm is too powerful for the format, so 'brainstorm every turn except also a really hard to fight win condition' is totally out of the question imo also they just reprinted Wurmcoil in the C14 red deck so i don't think they'd...

Yeah, I'll make a bunch of those cuts. Thassa is a great idea, thanks! I'm also trying to increase the number of 5+ toughness creatures; my problem lately has been that I tinker with the list while drunk and don't remember why I made those changes in the morning. I think maybe I'll swap the...

Thank you for yr feedback! It's definitely valued, and certainly helpful. Hypergenesis probably should go, yeah. I wanted to support a Show&Tell style deck, but without the creature power, I don't think it gets there. It also benefited more from a previous version of the wishes package...

Hey, babes! I updated the OP of this thread, since it's been a while. It seems like it's fashionable right now to announce that you have a 'version two' of your design, so I guess this is mine. I'm reproducing the new OP below, so you don't have to page back. SHARZAD: A Thousand And One Cube...
