I think its bad. If I want to dig fast with card disadvantage, it needs to be guaranteed. You are basically losing two cards just to use him once as the body is worth very little (and is even a liability due to removal). The dude can't even trade with a lion if needed! If you want a similar...

That is a really sweet crossover card. Most decks don't want to cast zombify and unearth, so its kind of like a "draft altering construct" in that you have two different cards in your cube that only take up one slot.

I guess I dodged a bullet then!

When I think about it, I always think force of will is crap. I mean, 2for1ing yourself and paying a life to get some tempo seems pretty bad. But then, someone drafts it, puts it in their deck as a 24th card and it does great work. I like it in White/Blue heroic a lot, because that's a deck...

No idea, that card is Fucking Nuts.

The thing with gaining life is that it always sucks except when it doesn't. Its like a really binary ability, making it a lot better on a modal card where you can just ignore it when it isn't relevant. I'm not enamored by Ojutai's Command at all, but I think its safe to say that if you are going...

I mean, why do people watch golf? The excitement? The strategy? Or the appreciation that those dudes can do something at a level of skill you can only dream of? Golf is the epitome of "the virtuosity is the strategy". If people can enjoy watching someone play golf, one of the most boring...

I'd also agree Geist is usually going to be the better card, but the two are different enough and the Avatar's power level is high enough so I'd run both rather then x2 Geist if I was looking for a devotion/+1 counter cards (and I am, so I plan on it). Avatar coming down as a ~5/4 trample is...

Six damage is definitely a lot. I've never played it, because conditional removal that also can do some damage is not really something I ever had a lack of in red, but you can welder/daretti the token when you are done with it which is kinda cool. I'd venture its runable, but I also think...

I'm from the US.

Guay's Path to Exile was the only foil in my cube for a while, but I cut it a while ago and really can't think of any alternate arts I'd want to run.

Not me, but in retrospect it should have been. The job rocks.

I am a children's librarian at a public library.

I don't even know how to respond to that. It looks bad and it makes it harder to appreciate the art. How can you like foil art?

Unfortunately, if you want to do fun stuff at a library, you probably need to be either be a high school kid who gets a temporary summer position assisting programming or a librarian that does programming (which requires a master's degree and is often full time). Non-professional work at a...

Vault Breaker is playable, but I don't actually want to take out a card to play him, if you catch my meaning. I'm feeling Doubling Season is in the same boat as Sanguine Bond, but maybe random planeswalker ults are good enough? It crosses with +1/+1 and tokens too. I definitely think...

I don't really want a third BW bear. I already run (and like) Underworld Coinsmith and Tithe Drinker. On top of that, I'm thinking about Chief of the Edge. In particular, the lifegain deck also likes Pridemate, the deck is lousy with bears. It needs something harder to kill, like an enchant...

ULD is a godsend. It supports creative deckbuilding opportunities, it makes decks sweeter, it lets you run more awesomely narrow cards in your cube (via having de facto more picks), and if you just pass the binder around while making decks it isn't that obtrusive. If you are taking a land that...

I run a Blood Bowl League at the library I work in every Fall, tabletop play. We call it "Monday Night Football", because calling a children's program "Blood Bowl" would raise some eyebrows. We've finished three seasons where I currently work, as well as two more at the library I used to work...

I read Blood-Chin Rager, thought, "Shit, this card is amazing incidental tribal" and immediately reversed my opinion on Arashin Foremost, slamming both into my cart with authority. It was my #2 card from Dragons of Tarkir, so it didn't get an awesome article, but it probably deserved one more...
