Time of Ice Is this card playable in a control deck? Or is it a pure tempo card like most freeze effects are?

I changed it a bit: Sandslash {2}{R}{W} Pokémon — Ground {T}: ~ phases out. Activate this ability only if you cast two or more spells this turn. Whenever ~ phases in, it deals damage equal to it's power to target nonflying Pokémon. 4/4 This way the opponent has more time to react to it. And it...

Is this card nutty? Sandslash {2}{R}{W} Pokémon - Ground Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, ~ phases out. Whenever ~ phases in, it deals damage equal to it's power to target non-flying Pokémon. 4/4 The phase out, phase in is flavored as the move dig. I'm a little scared because my...

I went with discard pile. I can't help, I'm a flavor first guy.

For my custom Pokémagic cube, I've changed several terms to be ore immersive with the world of Pokémon. A sorcery is an action, an enchantment is an influence, and instead of "when this creature dies" the cards say "when this Pokémon is defeated". But here is one, I am not so sure about: Should...

I share your feelings. I don't want newbies to feel stranded, but I purposefully design my cube to be as sandboxy as possible (while still rewarding drafting decks, not cards). I want them to explore and make their own game plan.

It's not just demonic pact. You can reset something like a Saga, Serrated Arrows or Mazemind Tomb, also retrigger any landfall cards you might have. The advantage bounce has over blink is that you can recast adventures or cast something with a kicker like ability as a bigger version. Also...

Hmm. No love for Stonecloaker?

Which one of these one-shot blink enablers do you like and why? Rescuer Chwinga Otherworldly Journey Stonecloaker Scrollshift Felidar Guardian Others I do already run or have likely excluded for a reason.

But I wouldn't want him if "sea monsters" wasn't a somewhat supported theme. Hmm. How many triggers would you want to get out of it to be happy about it? Two, three?

Fae Offering Has anyone ever tried this card? I could imagine this being a very sweet buildaround, but it could also be too clunky, even in low power?

I feel obliged to add this card, not only because I am a shadowmoor fanboy, but also because it's a reminder that "becomes untapped" triggers work with that theme too. Holowsage

I think in the long term they totally should lean more into reusing mechanics, just as worlds. If they keep the same ratio of old and new, we would take longer and longer before we could revisit some beloved planes and mechanics.

Besides the more generic ones that always work (kicker, cycling, flashback, replicate, ...) here are some ideas: From MoM to Eldraine: Convoke Battles Some Knight mechanic From Eldraine to Ixalan: Adventures!!! Explore Investigate? Madness? Doesn't seem impossible to me.

Totally, but somehow, wizards is kinda hesitant to do this. Maybe it would be a good practice if we had one non-evergreen mechanic per (premier) set, that always carries over to the next one? Would make them feel more linked

Hey @japahn, I am glad your kinda back. Hope your family is doing well! <3 As always, your observations are spot on. Especially this one: Now it seems rather obvious to me. I would have noticed it (and maybe tobi as well), if it was Jackal Pup and Wildfire in the same deck, but somehow the...

Backup is that kind of ability that makes me sad that we don't have blocks anymore, where we could get 2 more sets developing it further. Hopefully, it will be in the next Modern Horizons style set. Imagine the mix and match potential. Mentor, Afterlife, Modular ...

Yet, actual Lotus Cobra is probably still better than Provisioner, because it costs only 66.6% as much :P I am already certain that I wont cut Provisioner. It does so much. Works with artifacts, works with lifegain, works with wildfire etc. Not sure why it even came to me that it could be...

Past weekend, another draft happened. It was fun, as always (I LOVED my deck) but also a bit weird and confusing. You'll see when we come to the deck lists White Weenie 3-0 (6-1) Ones 1 Giant Killer 1 Healer's Hawk 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Soul Warden 1 Dryad Militant 1 Topplegeist 1 Leonin...

I feel you. I have no objection in expanding the "strixhaven frame", but I find it to be weird, that they kept that bronze color for nonartifacts in the "kaladesh frame", why not adjust the color at least? The weirdest one to me, however, is the use of the adventure frame for non-adventure...
