In my book, that is actually a feature :p

Jace, wielder of mysteries Mu Yanling, sky dancer I really like laboratory maniac so I'm biased there, and Mu Yanling seems like a fun mini-game with the 1 turn setup for the 4/4 bird.

I think Temporal Mastery is one of those kind of cards that could form the basis of an entire format, in order to make sure that it's playable in a enough diverse variety of decks.

It's an interesting card, because for experience I know there are cubes that have an artifact density thanks to the presence of artifact token makers. How many non-token artifacts do you actually run to feed into this card?

So that the other version can be put in a more expensive booster, most likely. Many things in magic boils down to 'makes money that way '!

Give me value, or give me death!

This post on reddit is one of my favorite "academic" musings on mtg design, where a framework is suggested for defining archetypes like aggro, midrange and control. The post proposes that an aggro deck is predominantly consisting of threats, where you have a redundancy of similar cards...

This makes me anxious. I really wonder if it would be healthy for the game to introduce a new color? Aren't we still trying to define the existing colors, things like card advantage and removal availability for all?

So we're about 24 hours away from knowing what this is all about? I really like the name!

Isn't 8 mana like a gazillion though? :)

Aah, but by going by my method here I would slot the discussed red cards in 2 cmc, because most people would (and should) play them on-curve if they don't have anything better to do. I just think snapcaster is actively worse if played too early, but given the context of the current "fight...

I slot my cards into the place where they'll actually get played. No one in my playgroup with a decent curve plays snapcaster at turn 2, and most worthwhile cards to flashback costs at least 2. To properly inform myself if people can draft decks that have a good curve, and that they'll play...

I've been convinced to run 2 wildfires. But I'm keeping the Crater Hellion in!

Granted, but if you only have 1 wildfire and a couple of 5 toughness creatures, would you leave this one out? I certainly wouldn't.

Crater Hellion This card can work as a nice 2nd copy of wildfire :)

Conundrum Sphinx Djinn of Wishes Future Sight source. I think this is a tricky theme to get right! Conundrum sphinx seems pretty strong as a 4 cmc 4/4 flyer.

I think one of the prerequisites for this theme to work as a subtheme is a critical mass of black lifepay cards, and then add enough incidental lifegain cards and 2-3 "matters" cards.

approach of the second sun I think this is a good recent example of a white control build-around! Good initiative for a thread, I completely agree with that definition of what constitutes a build-around.

I've actually slotted Snapcaster in as a 4-drop in my lists before because of this very reason!

Maybe werewolves could be a real thing in a slower oriented cube like a dragon cube or big Eldrazi cube?
