Probably not good enough for cube--I don't really want that kind of feast or complete famine combo effect in my already inconsistent cube aggro decks. I expect it to see at least some play in other formats,however.

Its red timewalk with the new gideon. Very playable.

Think of it like this: The floor is that its good but kind of clunky. The ceiling is that you get to steal a few games. I'm good with that.

You'll just get to 5 mana and kill the opponent. It is the water.

Presumably the strength of it, is thats it can function something like a modal card in the decks that really want to gy pitch. I can either use it as 3 (2?) mana instant speed way to pitch to the yard, or I can use it as a late game big draw engine. Its just hard to get very excited about a...

I think the utility is kind of redundant, but I 100% understand someone wanting to try it in place of sphinx's rev. These draw X spells are fairly narrow slots, and sometimes its healthy for a group to rotate certain cards out, just to keep the experience feeling fresh.

No, he's right. Its really fun to have the stroke win-con as a utility option, and its a fairly unique effect that helps open up a format's lines of play. Blue already has lots of sifting options. If we're just making a pure power argument, I don't think either card is sufficiently more...

Its an unfortunate card, with a lot of unfun liability attached. If you're in a very low powered format, this might be reasonable to encourage an aura theme that melds with something green is thematically about, but other than that, I would be very wary. I hate cards like these that are...

Yeah, I really like the design, and its right up where I want creatures to be. Its a really lovely control finisher, since you can cycle it away if you draw it early, and the scry on discard works really nicely with a lot of old school sifting effects. Its also a solid solar flare target in that...

Yeah, they look like someone was struggling to make a custom card and ran into printer problems.

Its fine, just a bit too low powered for a lot of folks. Its just a reach engine, first and foremost, and than there are some neat synergies it works with.

Honestly, its probably fine now if you want, providing you calibrate the power level so astral slide is competitive as a card. Assuming they print the full cycle, you've now got a base density of 10-20 cyclers (singlton break) on something foundational to the format, that is taking up minimial...

my...my brain just exploded. :eek:

If you're offering more of a "best cards" experience, than these lands probably aren't really of much note (which is fine!). However, if you are on the more creative end of cube design, this is a bit like discovering a new color to paint with (assuming they complete the cycle). Dual lands are...

Wow...I didn't even notice that they counted as the actual land types...omg...You can run them with fetchlands! This is the one land cycle to unite them all! We need more emojis, there isn't one here to express true love. :oops:

I will never forgive it if they don't do the full set. Omg so perfect with bouncelands and temples

In defense of your drafters, when you sit down for multi-player, most people are looking for a fun light experience. Complex board states and gorgnardy micro interactions can slow things down, and go against the spirit of the experience. With multi-player, I generally focus on minimizing...

We've been lucky enough to get along this far without a political discussion turning ugly, and everyone should be proud of that. However, people come to the board to relax and talk about magic cards, not come face to face with surprise divisive political discussions. There is a separate thread...

I don't really see that happening. The death of national identity and post modernism has just divided western countries out into tribes. Things are much less stable, with people less empathetic and tolerant to competing groups. The empathy you see from mellianals is much more about virtue...
