Oh, I'm also going to add this one: Etherium Pteramander B Flying Etherium Pteramander can only block creatures with flying. 6B: Adapt 4. This ability costs {1} less to activate for each other artifact you control. 1/1

I am probably going to run Malevolent Rumble over Winding Way. It doesn't have the high roll potential of the latter, but it offers you a little more card selection and the Spawn token is huge, because it can help you ramp.

Yeah, that's my problem with this third iteration so far ...

Are they serious? A simple Shuko gives you two Coiling Oracle triggers per turn for EACH CREATURE you control. Ridiculous. Oh, but of course such a powerful effect comes with a risk, right? What's the ... wait, wtf, your absolute failcase is a 3-mana 3/4 FLIER that draws you a card when they...

Not advocating for DFCs of course, but I wouldn't do that. I politely ask players to leave their drinks on other tables, chairs or else around, and to make sure they'd wash their hands before greasing my sleeves. Magic players can have really dirty hands and I don't want to get new sleeves every...

God, I wish that card was white.

Yeah, drafting with DFCs has been worse than expected. I've went down the same route as Onde, I've used to cube double faced cards for years, but you always had the situation that someone would unsleeve a card during draft to check the back, sometimes giving away crucial information about the...

I have to decide after spoiler season whether or not I want some energy cards in my cube or not. But I like this one, probably too much. Six is a lot.

Man, I love Hill Giants

For me the bummer is to print a whole cycle of hybrids in MH and then make them dfcs :/

That's good enough to make me happy and excited :)

That is certainly part of it's 'bad luck', but it can't be the whole story. Other popular, firstpickable 1- drops have better ratings, e.g. Birds of Paradise which has been used 5 times and earned 9 points. But then, there are also similar cases, e.g. Llanowar Elves with 2 points from a single...

Recently, I've spend too much time to not only track deck statistics but also card statistics. I've checked for the 12 CCC-drafts I've done since I started blogging here, how often each card has been used and gave it points according to tze number of matches it has won. Sure, that's not super...

Haven't been that hyped for spoiler season since ... quite some time. I am crossing my fingers for ... • cheap white threats caring about noncreature spells, prowess or other (think Myth Realized) • new cards with flashback costs significantly cheaper than their mana cost (like Roar of the...

That's the catch (pun intended). You get this cheap draw engine that also allows you to store treasures – now you need to find a way to punch through with evasion (or maybe gain some life) to make sure you can win. You can also decide to not sell the Magikarps though.

Oh yeah, I forgot to write that here, but it's on the card. Only sorcery speed here. Block for days, mostly. It's a very creature focused meta, naturally, there are ways to put counters on the magikarp or tap it as a cost for some effects. I thought about this, could even just make it a...

Shady Deal {1}{B} Enchantment At the beginning of your upkeep, create a Magikarp (a 0/1 blue water pokémon). {1}: Target opponent gains control of target Magikarp you control. If they do, you create a treasure token and draw a card. I think I have to make this a tapped treasure so you can't...

I mean ... context matters. I have it in my cube and it's pretty good there. Within the very high power levels you like designig for, maybe not so much.

I'm doing a very little in between update, just because I already own the new card, the old one hasn't been maindecked so far anyway and it's probably a clean upgrade in terms of synergy potential. Winding Way ... replaces Aventurous Impulse. Winding Way is probably a more tempting pick...

Goes infinite with just Rosie Cotton of South Lane lol
