    Sets [M20] Core Set 2020

    I thought it was intentional, like you're meant to take a second to register the orientation.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Purecast is my favourite, followed by Affinity for Basics and Primal/Basic. I don't really like Monofuel. Empower I find hard to work out how good it will be in practice, but my instinct is that it's too swingy, in that it's either not much of an extra cost or you can't even cast the card...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Also call it "Dye the Soil", which I think is what you were going for in the first place.

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    Okiba-Gang Shinobi returning Kor Skyfisher to return Astrolabe is the stuff dreams are made of.

    Or if you draft the cube multiple times.

    General Good cards you don't run because they are ugly

    I'm not sure I agree that more keywords = more complexity. Like, what's the actual difference between "Amass 1. (Put a +1/+1 counter on an Army you control. If you don't control one, create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token first.)" and "Put a +1/+1 counter on an Army you control...

    Glad to see they've been taking inspiration from cards like this:

    General Good cards you don't run because they are ugly

    I prefer the new art, actually, but old frame wins every time for me.

    I think it's Trainmaster's new(?) cube.

    I like that Seasoned Pyromancer has no sneaky "if you do" so it's a divination and 2/2 if you cast it when hellbent.

    General Fight Club

    Funnily enough, I asked this exact question last year. Here's the discussion: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/fight-club.560/page-122#post-75295 I've been using Oversold Cemetery and have been happy with it. It does threaten to overwhelm your opponent in some matchups, particularly with...

    General The Draft Exchange

    You might be thinking of Crusade, Glorious Anthem pumps all your creatures. The double white cost might be difficult in a 3 colour deck, though.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    You could have the signet choice be a hierarchy rather than a roll-off. ie Signet Choice 1 is going to be a higher pick than Signet Choice 4, and you don't get the scenario of randomly missing out on the signet you wanted because of losing a roll, whereas if you pick a low signet choice card...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Ashiok is kind of an interesting one because its effect on the game tends to be all or nothing - either it will win the game or have almost no impact at all. When you can protect them and get 4-5 full activations off then yes, it is a legitimate win condition, but I've also had situations where...

    Only Xathrid Necromancer and I guess Lili the Last Hope, but I wouldn't count her.

    General Fight Club

    New Zombies: Lazotep Reaver vs Vizier of the Scorpion Is giving all zombie tokens death touch worth an extra point of mana and one less toughness? Is a potentially repeatable 1/1 deathtouch too annoying to fight through? Is 1B for a 1/1 and a 1/2 too low impact? This is on the assumption...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    LSV said something interesting about the planeswalkers on the Limited Resources first impressions show: many of the walkers, especially at uncommon, have abilities that let your opponent cast their cards but then the cards don't work. Narset and The Wanderer are the two main culprits I can...

    I've been running for a bit, with some other artifact aggro cards, and it's been pretty good. The existence of Hangarback Walker and Walking Ballista go a long way to making it playable. Obviously you still need to have a bunch of artifacts for it to do anything. For the EDH vs D&D argument...
