    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    Yeah, Italy! I think the origin of Burraco is south American, but I don't know exactly the history of the game I have a similar thought, in my opinion in Magic it's easier to see the "best" lines, or at least to avoid very bad plays. But maybe it's just because I played a lot more Magic than...

    Exactly my same thought. Most of these cards seem like that they could easily be printed (in black or silver border), but they made them slightly different just to show “See? We can make unique digital cards that don’t work in paper!”

    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    Chess is great when you don’t play to win (so, when you and your opponent both aren’t that good). When it becomes too strategic it becomes less fun, also because it’s a perfect information game with a predetermined set of rules, so by Zermelo’s theorem (1913) there exists an optimal strategy...

    I’m voting for 375 The only issue I could see is if we add a second Booster Tutor, and a third, and so on

    With Booster Tutor in the cube we should finish at 375 though, right?

    I thought about re-adding Kabuto Moth but... yeah, now that Iname is gone, maybe the Spirit subtheme is not as strong... but someday it will come back to some cube ;) Can I add this guy? Richard Garfield, Ph.D. In case, I'm tagging @Velrun and @Jason Waddell

    Still, the new mechanics seem all something that could exist in paper Magic, but they tweaked it in a proper way exactly to make them feel different.

    Let's try this card, I never played it but seems interesting: Form of the Mulldrifter Tagging @LadyMapi and @landofMordor

    Every time I see one of these cards I think “I would very happy if they tried a bit more and did something like this that worked in paper, too”. The token cards aren’t new, there is Time Sidewalk and I think they could have done it in paper, too. The “seek” mechanic is a thing that’s comparable...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    In my opinion, X=3. But it could even be 2 if you want it symmetrical (Karplusan Forest vs Grove of the Burnwillows is a 1-to-1 trade)

    Invigorate maybe? Otherwise you can do something like “as an additional cost to cast this spell, you can pay {b}. If you don’t, each opponent gains 4 life”

    There is also Splicer's Skill if you really want ;)

    Oh yeah, when I added Blade Splicer I thought "it would be nice to add the other splicers too" and then I forgot when I was tagged again :( so thank you!

    Oh yeah double tag! Thraben Inspector Kabuto Moth The inspector is great for all the artifact synergies and it's a solid 1-drop. The moth is one of my favourite limited cards, it's a bomb in low-powered environments and I'm curious to see what happens here! I'm tagging @sigh and @Alfonzo Bonzo
