    Mesmeric fiend seems like it might be better abstractly, but in context I can definitely see cubes wanting the Kitesail, while fiend just seems to be filling a quota. Kitesail takes the removal and gives you a flying body to equip, enchant, or activate attack triggers. Fiend is really just a...

    What is everyone doing with black two drops these days? Aggro dudes, stat monsters, disruption dudes, utility dudes? There are a lot of B/X two drops I love, but not so much 1B outside of rotting rats and blood artist, and Bloodghast and gifted Aetherborn at BB. My brain is telling me fuck...

    Full spoiler is up, not much going on, but there's a "early drop with 8 mana activation" cycle that is interesting. The black and blue ones seem useful for me, the rest not so much, but I like the idea behind them.

    Lol, sorry I deleted that question, but thank you for the answer!

    What's everyone's thoughts on this card? 3/3 trample, cantrips, feeds the graveyard, will sometimes turn dead cards into live ones, will occasionally force you to resequence in order to avoid potentially discarding an important live card(or alternatively will occasionally throw out a live card...

    You are addressing a false dichotomy that has nothing to do with what I said.

    People run crap like Savannah Lions, Jackal Pup and Jungle Lion. If it has two power, they'll run it even if it has no utility and a multiple downsides. It bugs the shit out o me that they are willing to run these cards in the same list as Kytheon, Gravecrawler, and Kessig Prowler without any...

    This looks like a really good one drop for b/w grind, but that deck already has tons of good one drops. I don't think any of the enchantment matters decks really want this card. I'm not sure how much mainstream w/x midrange or go-wide aggro want this, but it does give (relatively weak)...

    Card seems pretty conflicted to me. Its a niche card but also Jack of all Trades at the same time? I'd be pretty excited about this in Skaab Ruinator style decks where the body makes it more attractive then comparable roleplayers (Forbidden Alchemy, Strategic planning, even frantic search...

    I like Masticore well enough, but it does suck. One of its saving graces is that the decks it goes in generally have ways to throw away cards, so if it sucks, you can throw it away to one of them. It definitely has aged like complete shit though. 4 mana these days gets you 5/5s with upside...

    On the other hand I won a game yesterday playing Haggler Big Money and I'm 99% certain that this was the legitimate best deck in the kingdom. Then again my opponent bought trade routes and border villages in an attempt to do something different, so maybe it wasn't as obvious as it seemed...

    I like Doomtown. It just died, so depending on your goals its either the best or worst time to buy in. The L5R game could be really good and you can get in on the ground floor.

    It's not wrong to want that, but you're going to seriously hamper your winrate trying to build non-existent engines or forcing weak engines on boards with powerful non-engine strategies. I think a big part of the fun of dominion is judging the kingdom, there's a lot that goes into that...

    I used to play a lot on the making fun version. I had some problems with the new version, but I tried it again this weekend and it seems that other then going a little slow on my tablet its working pretty smooth now so I'll probably start playing again. Name: FSR

    Samut seems fine to me. At least until you get to the last line with that white activation and ability that doesn't really seem at all necessary to the design of the card. Seems easy enough to sharpie over. But otherwise I like it and I'm someone who historically doesn't like 3/4 flash creatures.

    I still Run of the Wurm. Great roleplayer. In the right decks its a cantripping 6/6 for 4. Honored Hydra is mostly upside. Doesn't trigger prowess and you can't have both out at once, but better cost when you topdeck it and trample are legit. I recommend it.

    So far this set hasn't produced anything of interest to me (I guess glorybringer can fill the "I'm just throwing random crap into the red high end and hope someone gives a shit" slot). My glimmer of hope is that their will be an amazing camel, but the first attempt is a hard miss. Unrelated...

    I love shit 2 drops more then anyone I know, so the fact that I'm unenthusiastic about Hapatra can't be a good sign. Liliana seems good, but does anyone's cube actually want to expand token spamming planeswalkers into black?
