    Really delighted to have found this community this year. I used to post on forums like these all the time around the turn of the century, and it's just as much fun as I remember.

    Kill me. End my life. Take me out back, tell Paw to set one less place at the table. I reckon I was a good boy.

    Slime Zone of the Cryptids I immediately wanted Old One Eye for my cube, and in the past year I think it's become obvious that Mawloc is a resilient addition to a lot of Gruul sections in the community. Would you like to play these cards in your cube without suffering the psychic injury of...

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

    LOL. It literally never occured to me that the copies would also have Thrive. That goes a little beyond my intended power level. A redraft of the rule would read: "At the beginning of your end step, if you created a creature token this turn, create a token that's a copy of this creature, except...

    My second submission is for Selesnya. These guys have actually had some incredible guild mechanics in Convoke and Populate, both of which are beautiful, clean designs with lots of space. My design wants to play in a deck that could also feature both these mechanics. Thrive is a creature keyword...

    I've been tinkering with another one of these concepts, looking for a mono-red Forgetful Fish-like experience. I'm calling this one "Bird by Bird." Firewing PhoenixBloodfeather PhoenixFlamewake Phoenix This one leverages the shared graveyard (similar to the Ovalchase Daredevil design from...

    The card in my particular cube that suffers from this problem is Blast-Furnace Hellkite. I can either get a retro-frame version (which would be the only retro-frame card in the cube) or I can get a modern-frame version with no reminder text for fucking "Artifact Offering," an ability that...

    Just on the general subject of Ravnica mechanics: I keep expecting the "watermarks matter" mechanics from Unstable to reappear in a Ravnica set.

    This is objectively correct. I just think it would be fun for Boros to have a multiformat all-star that catches a ban after 8 months on the scene. If I were to put this Angel through development, I'd turn the following knobs in this order: -Give the ability a "once per turn" clause. -Make the...

    Oops, lol. Yes, this should definitely have a non-token clause. That's the function I imagined for the card.

    This is a really fun design prompt! I'm taking a swing at my favorite guild: Boros. These guys have an interesting record with guild mechanics. Radiance sucked bad (maybe it was good in limited? I didn't play draft at that time), Battalion was cool, Mentor was somewhere in the middle. The guild...

    Disturb definitely doesn't have many truly powerful cards. I include a few of them in my Peasant cube, where the mechanic has enough breathing room to really shine. As for Cursing yourself, I think it's something Black mana users would do often, especially if they thought it was a good way to...

    I've been wanting to post this card since forever and just finally got around to it. Made with MSE rather than CardConjurer, so the fidelity is not very high, I'm afraid.

    Curating an artifact-heavy cube has been like drinking from a firehose this year. I'm collecting the cards to put my pet project at the 720 level, and after that I need a break! Between the transforming Sagas from Kamigawa and the Role tokens from Eldraine, they seem to be carving out some cool...

    Novice Inspector is a big flavor upgrade on Thraben Inspector, in my opinion. Gleaming Geardrake will probably replace Enthusiastic Mechanaut in my cube. Very excited to see if there will be new Gruul and Selesnya cards playing in this space. Would love to see something like: Hostile Witness -...

    We're entering the part of the year where my family asks if there's anything I want for Xmas, and I have to come up with something normal to say instead of "1,000 Dragon Shield Matte sleeves please!" Or like "pre-orders for old-border Shocklands, please!" Instead I'm like: "I need a new hat."...
