I added them both to my cube. I haven't played them yet. Hopes are high.

I have big hopes for Exemplars, though for me it was Restoration Angel that was the card I was looking to axe. It has more play then the Hero, but that card just does too much for basically no opportunity cost. How is blue devotion working for you? Would you run it without running...

I like the focus tripling up on the "quintessential" one drop of each other. The depth in one drops is generally poor and beyond the dumb beef they usually aren't very good at providing redundancy. Tripling up on the focus-defining one drops gives both the redundancy and the direction that...

Its very strong when it combos with Shriekmaw or Boneshredder. Recurring a random midsize dude is good, but it feels fair enough. Going to make a few more changes here: Went with Sultai Emissary over Rotting Rats Marsh Flitter -> Brutal Hordechief Mystical Tutor -> Shadow Rift Potential...

A couple more swaps that need to take place: tuskguard captain -> Bramblewood paragon Banisher Priest -> Rotting Rats Some white 4+ drop out (probably restoration angel) -> Reverent Hunter x2 Drana or Necropolis Regent -> Sidsi or Glissa?? Find out if there is an undocumented card and if there...

Double Dragonslayer: That's an error, not sure what card it is supposed to be. Arashin Foremost: We'll have to see, that's the current plan though Timely Hordemate: I'm running it at{2}{W} Godsend: Pretty bad, probably not staying Parrot: Possible, 2 toughness isn't a blank though. Sindbad...

I have to look over some stuff, but my list is updated to a version that may resemble what I want it to look like.

Dash is sweet, love the Shrine Synergy, didn't think of that. It also works with things like Extorters Outpost Siege Champion of the Parish for the humans Impact Tremors Champion of Lambholt

In times like these I usually just try it, because, fuck it, it can't be worse then Heliod was!

Enduring Renewal I'm looking over my pile and I've got this card here and I'm wondering if it works. I know what it does in combo lists, but does it play outside of the context? Does dropping it on 4 with a full board work? Is comboing it with boneshredder/shriekmaw a laudable goal?

Arguing for any specific element of development is pointless. There is too much noise for specific elements to be broadly applicable, even the best ones have limitations. What is much more important is to talk about broad aspects of design, then thinking about how they might best be developed...

I'm in New York, but in Westchester, so not really but kinda.

The best solution to this particular situation, which was someone else's idea, maybe Changling Bob, maybe someone else, sorry if I forgot, was to have the order of packs matter. That is, pack one could have fixed contents and contain your "important to see in pack one cards", so you know they...

As a thought experiment I took my list, cut it to 360 and took out all of the non-traditional developmental elements (separate land draft, custom cards, multiples) to see what it would look like. While its not without its flaws, the list actually doesn't look half bad as a "portable" version of...

I cube all three of those cards and like them all a lot, but 4 mana white cards are just bloated with awesome cards. On raw power level, I'd cut Eidolon first. On swinginess, I'd cut Angelic Destiny. On being unfocused goodstuff, I'd cut Siege.

I think her design is better then Liliana of the Veil. 3 mana Lily is amazing at forcing a game of attrition, but her power level really forces an acceleration of your format that may or may not be palatable. This Liliana focuses on the same war of attrition, but rewards setup and advances...

Why don't online game stores ship Magic prereleases 2-3 days ahead of release so that they actually arrive on the release day? Other stores do this for stuff like video games, books, music, etc? Or do some stores do this and I just order from the wrong ones?

I like Intuition. Sometimes it can tutor your flashback cards. Sometimes it sets up Skaab Ruinator, Living Death or Replenish. Sometimes it stocks you up for threshold/delve. Sometimes it gets you land #4 when that's what you really need. Sometimes you just need to burn face and you take 3...

Dash creatures definitely decline in value when you draw more of them, Zurgo except (except of course in the case of drawing multiple Zurgos).

That is absolutely not a 7 mana card. The card needs a complete power level overhaul. It could cost {2}{R}{R} and many power-max cubes still wouldn't touch it (though it'd be good enough for me to run it! You could drop it to 4/5 if you were worried about too much unblockable power). I think...
