    Oh right, I talked about flip cards. Who knows! That pretty much puts us in werewolves, which I'm sure someone could've told me and/or if I'd thought about it. Not sure if that's quite what we're aiming for here.

    I forgot knight of the reliquary. Landfall seems like another good call. The problem with running additional land fixing is that worldknit drafters really want to pick up lands so that they can reduce their deck size, but they also don't care about the fixing, so trying to get non-land fixing...

    shroud is clearly a better hexproof i feel like surging sentinels is the reasonable ripple card, and the others are all feel-bad as drafting them makes them one-sided evacuation, mind twist, fireball, or the biggest pants imaginable at a fraction of the fair cost. sentinels actually forces you...

    My first thought about valakut was 'how do I get land searching, I mean, there's primeval titan but fuck that noise'.

    I fundamentally disagree with a bunch of your unlikelies. Given you run counterspell and remand, I can see why you wouldn't like miscalc; it's still perfectly fine, just there are better things.

    General Worst Limited Mechanics

    None of those are 'worst limited mechanics' so much as the worst mechanics in the game. I'd say the mechanics that are actively bad for limited (miracle actively exacerbates the worst parts of limited: bombs) are worse that just generally bad mechanics at that. Given that Allies from the OP is a...

    I mean, banding is an abortion, but not specifically abortive in limited, it mostly just doesn't exist. Phasing is just a bad flicker with stupid rules baggage. It doesn't do anything offensive to limited. Ripple does something offensive to limited (same-y gamestates due to spamming one card...

    Ripple may repeatedly lead to the same gamestate in draft, but at least it's not about fuck you blowouts and nothing else.

    Nope, those all encourage you to have gamestates that do a thing. Miracles are bomb rares with an added bomb keyword because why the fuck not and bad luck you just lost to doublebombtopdeck gg no re Ripple may repeatedly lead to the same gamestate in draft, but at least it's not about fuck you...

    Side thought: I might include more cogwork dudes and also more flip cards than average, because then you can see some of what people are drafting, for more targeted deal broking. Maybe I need more deal brokers if I go down this route. Also, I will probably target 390 cards, because not...

    So I don't have a cube. I do have a list (see sig), but I don't have a play group and so cubing is mostly an intellectual exercise. That's cool, I like intellectual exercises. That cube is mostly a good stuff cube, trying to hit cards I like and good cards from most sets and/or mechanics. That...

    Is it worth considering 'how many decks can this sensibly go in' rather than direct ease of cost (with regards to whether snakeform is blue, green or simic)? ie: there should be roughly balanced numbers of 'can go in mono G' and 'can go in mono U', and roughly balanced numbers of 'can go in...

    also to cite this article: I'd call this a positive for weaker fixing. Also bombs are hot garbage.

    Does this mean the quality of your deck is dependent on where the fetches fall out in the packs?
