    General (BLB) Bloomburrow Spoilers

    I like it, but I think you're overthinking it a bit. The badger shown looks like it could be WB based on how its using death. Plus, it fits into the Redwall trope of badgers being loving, caring berzerkers who will stop at nothing to protect their family. In the absence of another tribe, why not...

    "Cus" is usually short for "because." I could see it being short for "cousin" in other situations, but that's unlikely here. That would be "cuss." Great word, though!

    Sorry @ravnic , but as much as I love Gurzigost I have to shout out my boy here. Froghemoth He's a stat monster that has some fun counterplay, especially in a graveyard cube. Do you just let the Frog Horror through? Well, it's a lot larger next turn and it's hampered your ability to do...

    I wondered the same thing! Glad to hear a lore aficionado is also confused by the rift--it means I'm not missing something. One mana punch spell (Hard-Hitting Question) looks good. I recently cut Prey Upon and variants, but was reluctant to do so. I wonder how expensive the Clue cards will...

    Not to be too down on the subject, but I've also had a hard time with detectives on Ravnica, and I think it's because they feel so anachronistic. A lot of the tropes of detectives come from stories written in the late 19th and early-to-mid 20th century, arguably starting with Sherlock Homes'...

    As a note, solving is a permanent state change, much more like classes than sagas. This means that this is a Divination every turn, but only after you've emptied your hand, mitigating the usual downside of these "discard everything" effects. Card's nuts. Personally, I think a lot of the Cases...

    Easy: if it's old and I don't like it, it's that WotC didn't know how to design cards. If it's new and I don't like it, it's power creep!* *how you define "old" and "new" is completely arbitrary and unique to you with the exception that it will always make you feel tremendously old no matter...

    That's an interesting question! Zariel was clearly priced to move, but I think the main problem is that her niche just isn't there. She's obviously a tool for either midrange or aggro decks, so let's look at each in turn. Re: midrange, she's stong but not busted without support, which isn't...

    Iirc it's fairly strong and saw play in standard at the time. Zariel, Archduke of Avernus Pretty good go-wide payoff, but I believe that you're not big on PWs. If you can get over that, Zariel fits nicely into a lot of medium power bands. Her ult is fun in that it's strong but not gamewinning...

    I think you mean... (Don't watch it) We've already hit most of the good ones, but it's really hard to beat Khalni Heart Expedition for sheer rate: Khalni Heart Expedition And it's cousin Zektar Shrine Expedition is a fun aggro cross-pollinator: Zektar Shrine Expedition Don't both...

    Prosperous Thief is fine (possibly attacking with a 3/2 T2 that ramps you is a great payoff for sacrificing some tempo and well worth the risk in many cases) and Thousand-Faced Shadow is actively good, but Moonsnare Specialist is not great. The body is just too anemic, and a 2/2 for 3 is...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    If it just taps for colorless, it lets you wait to crack it. This might be a good thing, but I think it adds decision points that are mostly irrelevant, which is generally a bad idea. That is to say that I like it fetching a Wastes, or just conjuring one wholesale so that you don't have to put a...

    General [Contest] Ravnica Reimagined (Entry Closed - Judging Complete!)

    The gameplay was ass, but come on--having the literal cop faction affecting you differently purely based on color and not on your allegiances or your actions seems fairly reasonable from a flavor standpoint. (American here, other people might have a more reasonable set of expectations for their...

    You'd have to play around with your terms, but even a linear correction for number printings seems a fine first-order approximation to me. There have been 55 printings of lightning bolt! If you add in a couple more terms past your text mining like so Value = baseline + (your word term) + (b1...
