Do people from outside the USA also have Gilbert Gottfried as their internal parrot voice? I literally cannot imagine any other voice for a parrot having grown up with him as Iago in Aladdin, but I imagine someone else must have grown up deprived of that performance. Right?? Or is the Gilbert...

Sure, but what I'm saying is that I imagine a lot of people won't care. The problem in my eyes isn't the association with the frames, it's the association with the cards. By removing the border, you open up room for a lot more acrimonious discussion as it's no longer "these things are bad" and...

There's also the fact that even if all Un cards had black borders, a lot of them would remain absolutely miserable to play with or against. For every Cheatyface there's a passel of Carnivorous Death Parrots or worse Deal Damages. And even Cheatyface can be awful depending on your standards! I...

Sorry, I totally didn't finish my thought there--if T2 reanimation is fine with how rare it is, why not just make this card Reanimate and have done with it? I don't see ways to make it happen any earlier with this switch, and I'm assuming that Life is never intended to be played/is not a...

I'm a big fan of combat tricks! I think that everyone should get to play at instant speed, even creature-based decks, as it opens up a lot of gameplay space that's otherwise a little deterministic. Here are the other ones that I run/have run/would love to make space for; they're not quite as...

To be honest, Life // Death worries me a lot more than Exhume, given that aggro isn't nearly as, well, aggressive in your format as in others. It's just an expensive Reanimate, and that's demonstrably broken in half. Maybe Back for More would be a better fit in the same colors? How often do you...

After getting my hands on the set, I feel a need to expand my testing list. Props to you guys for convincing me some of these cards are good. Includes, in descending order of probability I'll keep them: Voldaren Epicure This card is actually kind of absurd and is what got me on the Blood...

Oh, it's a great name, I just wanted to be sure you were doing it consciously! There's nothing worse than coming up with something cool and realizing six months down the road that you accidentally cribbed it from someone else. But if it's an intentional non-reference, have at it.

Isn't the Burning Legion an expansion for World of Warcraft? I haven't really played WoW, but even still it's a little jarring to read this and think that. May I suggest Infernal Legion instead? Great art, and I like drawing Skeletons into red. You could also reflavour it as spreading flames or...

This set is great, I can skip it entirely! Honestly, I'm taking a "wait and see" approach with the black and white cards, because that Consider actually looks pretty cool to me and the gold frame doesn't bother me nearly as much as it does you, but it's definitely disappointing in terms of the...

guh of course, reading the card explains the card. That's why you gave us so many lands, makes a ton more sense. Sorry about that! Updated decklists. Third time's the charm, right?

For sure, variability is a big issue. Thanks, that's a good answer to the question I intended to ask! And yes, it's definitely 106 lands. 26 utilities and two full cycles of fetches, bounces, and completed horizons and bicycles makes 80 fixers. It might be overkill, but I wanted to force people...

I know you literally asked us to only answer if we have a 360 card cube, but I'm wondering--why do you think you wouldn't get useful data from a differently-sized cube? Do you think that the ratio of lands to spells isn't the important bit? That's always how I've conceived of it, so it's...

I'm actually testing an eye-watering 21 cards from this set in my New Cube (I swear I'll write it up someday! Because I know you're just waiting for it!). Almost Assured Adds Foreboding Statue Forsaken Thresher Faithbound Judge Sinner's Judgment By Invitation Only Wedding Announcement Wedding...

You don't think that any blue 1-drops are strong enough for your cube, right? I feel like I remember you mentioning that you only have cantrips on one. No offense, but I think we're operating under entirely different assumptions. I'm also actively looking to support those ninjas/curiosity decks...

Silver Raven Artificer's Assistant Faerie Seer is a little too strong for my taste, unfortunately, so that leaves me with a choice of birds for enabling Ninjutsu. Both feel a little anemic, but how many artifacts do you think you'd want to run before you were comfortable playing the assistant...

I was also on the Monk Class hype train when it dropped, but I'm doubtful it's going to hold up. I'm still waiting to see it in action before I cut it, but it seems like a case of the card giving marginal bonuses in too many scenarios. It's a strong candidate for editing at some point, because I...

Late to the party, but Scion of Draco can work with DIY Seraph. Speaking of which, has anyone tried running this card? It seems like a decent candidate for 5C-enabler/fair reanimation target/slightly underpowered-yet-colorless-and-therefore-less-parasitic top end for 4C decks. Scion of Draco

guh. This seems very strong and yet very fair. I'm loving W getting in on the graveyard value party, now all it needs are so enablers! Still, for those of us with graveyard-focused cubes, this seems like another step in a cool direction. My only issue is that it might be too good as a brick...
