I agree that Mirari Conjecture and Niblis of Frost are the best options. It is worth considering how aggressive you want your overall environment and specifically your spells matter decks to be. Mnemonic Wall and Murmuring mystic only fit in slow decks and were frustrating for other aggressive...

Wizards are trying to tempt Riptiders onto Arena...

New Banalia is a great find. It preceded Dominaria by 11 years but has a strong stained glass theme, making me wonder if it was the inspiration for the subsequent use in the later cards.

I prefer these basics to the Theros Beyond Death ones. Although the mana symbol is prominently featured there is still a representation of the land in the art, albeit somewhat abstracted because of the stained glass design. I al prefer this approach over basics that have figurative art of a...

Some British clubs do have some pretty odd names. Tottenham Hotspur takes the second part of their names from Sir Harry ”Hotspur” Percy, a 14th century nobleman and character in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, part I. Then there’s Partick Thistle (or Partick Thistle Nil, for the club’s full name...

Sure they did. Right next to the Ark of the Covenant.

I went 7-2 on Arena Bo1 with what felt like a mediocre WG lifegain deck. It felt like having a curve and turning creatures sideways was enough to win. My main problem with the format is that there is a lot of additional complexity without much benefit to the gameplay. As an example, You Line Up...

That’s clearly a picture of a power max cube. Do we want to imply that power max is the default cube?

I was going to suggest Grixis, but with the recent overturning of Roe vs. Wade I can see Trainmaster’s point.

Congratulations to Trainmaster for your well deserved win: yours was the card I could most imagine wanting to actually play. Despite Mown’s claims of being a mean judge, I was quite pleased with my card being “cool but a bit much”. It reminded me of my degree results.

In my cube, {W}{G} tends to go wide, so having Exalted is of little benefit compared to KoA’s additional flexibility.

I’m glad I can run Thoughtscour without the horrible brain-drill art from Dark Ascension. The new art being rather lovely is a bonus.

I miss Shakespeare quotes on Magic cards I don’t think it is actually a very good card, nor create interesting play patterns. The Scry 3 in act I refers of course to the three witches. The recurring second act references the repeated murders and their effect on Macbeth’s mental state. The...

Sorry to hear about the BPPV, which can indeed be horrible. Benign is relative: as with many medical conditions it is just a reminder that things could be even worse, e.g. acoustic neuroma or brain injury. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Nobody has mentioned Junk yet.

I assumed that you create the food, then replay it to make the giant using Bloodthirsty Adversary’s ability.

I also play board games, though that occupies the same headspace for me as Magic. Sleek Schooner Sailing is my other hobby, which is distinct from tabletop gaming. Having to focus on the things around me - the boat, the weather, my crew mates - feels very mindful and gives a real break from day...
