Can we get a better name than "badderblossom"? I keep reading it like bLadder blossom :p

I'm just excited about them seemingly closing this chapter. Opens up for some exciting possibilities in mtg sets going forward.

This is an endless debate, but I'm going to advocate for running flashback cards as monocolored. While they fit best in their color pair, they are so in a different league of splashability compared to actual gold cards that I don't see why the flashback card should use up a gold slot. I'd say...

Man, I'd just run both cards. Glory of Warfare seems like a really sweet card, and Rally could work as a psuedo 2nd copy.

Some more options: Riftwing Cloudskate cryptic command Silumgar's command

I like that those cards pair kinda well with trample as well, pairing them fairly well with green and to an extent red!

Isn't it possibly because you're attacking your opponents tempo? So you're opening up for a closure of the game, whereas both the other two cards only work to build up the board or rebuy an effect or sort of stall out.

I think I have to agree, it's not hard to argue that this is a case of conditional probability (having the card and being able to cast it).

I honestly think it's a really clever way of doing a mulligan. Who hasn't been really bummed when, in game 3, you get to mulligan down to a unplayable hand of 5 cards? This feels like it should get around that. You get fewer cards, sure, but they should at least be playable the first few turns.

My tip would also be to, when you have an idea for a theme, put together a 40 card deck with that theme! And then, grab a friend and another 40-card deck and actually play test that deck. I've had ideas for decks and themes that just didn't work, and have found great ideas for draft themes from...

This sounds so fucking good I hope you're right. What a good way to let planeswalkers move into a new kind of phase frequency-wise!

Someone is going to diE

Amen! Cube is just a box of magic cards, at the end of the day. I'm impressed at playgroups where people find themselves able to say no thank you to a free draft?

Maybe I wasn't reading properly but I got the impression that was a whole lot of people stating power-max is the one true kind of fun?

It probably depends on your land base, but I've started to go more and more by what color is required to cast a card for the way I categorize my cards. For instance, I put Lingering souls in my white section without hesitation because I consider the flashback something you could splash for in a...

I vote Urban Evolution, because it's a much cleaner card and I think partner is really clumsy in a draft.

Four grasping thrulls is just unfair!

The thing I find interesting about cards like those two you posted here is how format warping they have to be to be playable in the average deck, and as such acting as a sort of catalysts for including incidentally supporting cards (playable artifacts and red cards that happen to put artifacts...

Approach is the card that invites the more interesting lines of play as I see it. When you cast it, you start a timer for when you're just going to straight up win. Additionally, you can abuse this clock with card draw or spell copying, so it opens up a lot of room for some combo feel as well...

I mean, what absolute insane density of +1/+1 cards would you have to run for it to be remotely possible to get the alt. win con on that card come together in an actual draft game? And if that isn't possible in the environment, is it worth running a gold card where half of it's flavor text?
