    That Vampire Knight's power level is fine, but its hard to justify such a generic effect on a multicolor card. Foundry of the Consuls is a decent enough card I guess, but is 2 1/1s better then a 3/4? Gargoyle Castle isn't exactly flying out of my Land Binder.

    I think part of it is that they are being more ambitious with their tier 2 designs. Like in the past, you might get a card that is either too specific to be of much use or just a weaker version of something else. Gimick cards and limited bombs, so to speak. Now you are having better defined...

    They had their game face on for this one. Top shelf shit all round, might be better (for me) then Theros and I fucking LOVED Theros.

    I could use that too if I had a scanner! Or a smartphone I suppose! My technology is really outdated!

    Blink is the one theme that I don't touch, because ETB creatures are like the last thing that need build around support, so I don't think the priest is that amazing. Doomwake, Ghoulcaller Gissa, Gray Merchant, Sidsi and Drana are all nice cards. I mean, its good enough to hold the slot for sure...

    Evolutionary Leap is a super sweet sac engine, considering the only real comparible cards to it was culling dais and the flatly unplayable carnage altar and Phyrexian Vault. Sifting for a creature is probably better on average then draw a card too. . .

    I'm really starting to have a tough time knowing what to do with "graveyard as a resource" cards at this point, there are just so many and a lot of them non-bo. Fortunately this card isn't too interesting, I don't think the extra point of power over bloodghast/gravecrawler/bloodsoaked justifies...

    This set has something for everyone, wizards has been hitting sets out of the park with consistency lately, its uncanny. FWIW I'm pretty low on Scab-Clan (Ram Gang comparison is apt) and high on Abbot

    Pretty heavy on the "red cards that only work with red cards" theme here? The two chandra-related cards, plus the Hellion? I forgot what Hallowed Moonlight did three seconds after I read it. Its a situational counter with basically no proactive use, so its get in the weird place where if the...

    I've been really thinking hard about Starfield, and after long deliberation I am ready to declare that it is probably good. Its tough judging five man incremental value cards in a hard to remove cardtype that requires thematic support to work, but in that very narrow niche, I think the card is...

    Nah, he's good. Man'o'war is still a beast even in a landscape filled with bigger dudes. This guy can bounce early elves/attackers before Man-o-war can or come in as a trick later, that seems legit.

    General Removal by the Numbers

    He's counting all kinds of stuff as removal, including unsummons, sleep effects, counterspells and tappers which are arguably not removal.

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Its an enchantment, so we have to assume that many decks won't be able to kill it and that once cast it will sit on the table most of the time. It costs 5, so its expensive, but not so expensive that casting it should be just win the game if it isn't dealt with, particularly since its an...

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Aegis of the gods works as a one drop. Nimbus Naiad/Spearpoint Oread works as a 2/1 for 2. Many of the generic bestows could get a nudge and work. A few are really close and could even work with just a mana change. Fate Unraveler could be a 3cc 2/3? The constellation cards I'm not playing are...

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    I just looked through my list and it really needs a cleaning out, I'll probably use the new set update to get busy and get things back in tune. A couple (more) custom enchantment creatures might be a good idea here.

    I'm reasonably happy with this set. I'm curious about some of the renown cards, synergy with +1/+1 is great and all, but is it worth trying to get in with a 3cc 1/3 or use a slot on another 3cc G/W (Knight of the Reliquary and Armadillo Cloak are pretty stable here)? Does that green renown...

    This is definitely a clusterfuck, but my players would definitely try something like this. I'll see what I can do.

    Obviously people are going to be thinking of ways to avoid the "lose the game trigger" and that makes sense. However, taken straight its a 5 for 1 that also gains 4 life over the next three turns, if you've got a clock on board that could easily be good enough, although it does give the...
