    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Ah, what I mean is that there's no decision-making with it. It's just good on all fronts. It doesn't require you to think or plan because it has haste, deathtouch, cannot be chump-blocked, kills planeswalkers and stops the random deck of its heyday (Fog.dec) for free. It doesn't make the game...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    It's very dumb of them to print these kind of cards, but it's unlikely to be as broken as it seems at first glance. You need 8 cards in your graveyard for it to be better then Regrowth, 12 or 16 before it gets into "I win" territory. The problem I see is that you can play the same cards over...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Kuronos reminds me of Questing Beast: All power and no play. Storm's fury looks strong. I'm not into the market for a 4 mana red wrath, but it is a four mana red wrath.

    You guys convinced me, it's in!

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It's mostly going to be cheated into play, so that's a bit why I'm asking. I want Reanimator to be more value/control focused but Massacre Wurm was too strong and I can't jam 10 Crater Hellions in my cube. Even though I would love to, because Crater Hellion is awesome.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I just don't think a cube needs more than two Smokestack effects and I don't see much of a reason to play a weaker gold card over the namesake card and Braids. What can you tell me about this card? How swingy/baneslayery is it? Angel of Serenity

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Sure, but it's not necessary for cards to be thinly veiled copies of previous work for them to play well. I mean, it's not tropes that bother me. What Throne of Eldraine and Theros do is reference well-known stories or characters. You have knock-off Robbin Hood, knock-off Arthur and knock-off...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    I must admit I don't find much to like in sets that take so heavily from previous work. It seems fake and wonky to have "Greek mythology with the serial numbers blurred out". I did not like Throne of Eldraine for a similar reason: A fairytale world is a good idea, taking well-known fairytales...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I'm doing some small but interesting changes. For example: Think Twice Unburial Rites Riftwing Cloudskate These are all interesting, synergy-boosting cards that make the cube better in subtle ways. Every deck might be interested in Think Twice, but it's specially good with discard. Unburial...

    General CBS

    Design-wise, it's true that targeted discard is a poor mechanic. It does away with the hidden information present in the game, it increases the number of non-games and reduces the number of cards available to players in a game where players draw very few cards. But I also believe it's...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I don't think the card represents overconfidence. If you look at the art without it, I don't think you would make the connection. I think something showing a character acting smug before some sort of disaster happen would be the best way to convey it.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Wow, I did not expect you guys to like it! I hated Murmuring Mystic in Standard, it felt like a lot of work and mana just to get a 1/1 blocker. I mean, you need like 3 spells before it's a Whirler Rogue variant, which is a lot. I'm not fond of "I die to Shock" Talrand but I think it's the more...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've revised my blue creature section. Like usual, I wrote down the list by memory and thought twice about cards not on the list. Spectral Sailor I dislike this card's aesthethics but it's what blue wants from a one-drop. Cloudfin Raptor is fun but it seems to me drawing a card or two is...

    I can see that Onderzeeboot. In a sense, I think the real question, because they compete for the same slot is: Brazen Borrower vs Riftwing Cloudskate

    Venser, Shaper Savant vs Riftwing Cloudskate Which one do you like more and why?

    General Green four drop creatures

    It seems to me green four drops are less defined than they are in other colours. What are you running? Which ones do you like and which ones you don't? Beast Whisperer Bramble Sovereign Centaur Vinecrasher Vengevine Master of the Wild Hunt Oracle of Mul Daya Polukranos, World Eater Thrun...
