That's your problem right there--gotta go at least to Somerville for the good shit. On topic, this is a fantastic writeup. It's always great hearing about testing methodology, and I think we tend to sweep failed experiments under the rug, so getting to read about your removing removal trial is...

Did someone say...Kess substitute? Also Spiderverse is freaking fantastic. I've seen about 25 minutes of Arcane, but it was a good 25 minutes, so I guess I'd recommend it, lol.

Another set, another crappy land cycle. Why couldn't it have come into play untapped? Why couldn't it grab a non basic? As it stands it's pretty much strictly worse than an Evolving Wilds (for our purposes at any rate. Yes, 1 life is not nothing, but I think we can agree that it's a negligible...

Sorry to double-post, but we've also forgotten the last two Crime People, who I actually think are the best of the bunch. Ziatora turns your critters into damage even better than Korvold and gets you a mana refund instead of a card refund. And it starts the same turn cycle! Falco (lol) on...

It's because this isn't the NNC spoilers thread, silly! But I completely agree, and now that we're here, I want to talk about Perrie, my BOY Granting trample and being a fascinating new counters lord seems really, really solid. I want him (and shield counters by extension) to be good enough to...

Elspeth is ramp in white!! :edh: She has the potential to be okay, depending on how good a shield counter winds up being. I suspect a return of Proliferate in the near future.

It seems to be about the natural transition from life to death, what with the flavor text on Elvish Mystic reflecting the middle ground between Death's Shadow and a literal symbol of birth in the Mother. The carving in the forest is a bit harder to interpret, but it seems to me to represent how...

Thanks for the feedback! It's greatly appreciated. Something I forgot to mention is that these all came from the occasional module, which I suspect changes the calculus slightly. Easy in some terms, difficult in others, lol. But yes. Great call on the sphere! Agreed, and it's a boring way...

It's not even overcosted when you play it as a Soul Shatter, beautiful. And did I mention that the showcase frame slaps?

Cutting Shortlist: Haunted Library Does this card do anything? It seems powerful in that it turns your Wraths into modal spells ({3}{W}{W} buys you a wrath and 1 1/1 flying Spirit token, {4}{W}{W} gets the wrath and 2x 1/1 flying Spirit tokens, etc.) but I may just have too much exile in White...

Finally, the good news of the 2020s that we all needed! I'm very happy to hear this.

TF2 players, all fifteen of them.

I agree that it feels very play-designed, (good coinage!) but the fact that it's so symmetrical redeems it. The "multicolored" restriction I could do without, but I suppose that's to prevent people from ramping (horror of horrors!) in UWB.

Yes! It might be rude, but I can legally print anything I want and I can pay someone else to print anything I want.* *this offer does not extend to things like dollar bills. You also can't sell it. I'm not a lawyer. I'm also in the US and am assuming you are too. The other party can refuse to...

For all you sickos who just can't wait: The Cube This is my fourth (?) iteration of my primary cube, and the second one I'm happy with. The first one I enjoyed is written up in No Free Lunches, and while I liked it a lot, the fact that you could get a pack like the following is a testament to...

I'm pretty sure it's Hideaway, as I remember someone pointing out tha the rules text got changed from "Hideaway" to "Hideaway X" in the hideaway land secret lair and that the rules themselves changed. Source...

Look at me, I'm R&D for 1 -> 0 before it's attacked even once. :wagg: ...okay, it's a stretch and it's still a design mistake.

Topplegeist This spooky boy has always been looking in on cubes from the outside, but I think the success of Network Disruptor has shown that a card like this has a home. I'm envisioning a sort of UW blink/ninjas tempo deck looking something like this: Ones 1 Gingerbrute 1 Hypnotic Sir 1...

:D Precisely! Like I said, I don't know how to fix it, but it's going to result in a lot of triggers that do nothing except break the game in weird corner cases of triggers that trigger on triggers, and I don't want to worry about those edge cases. Cool design, though. I must have...

For sure! Forgeborn Phoenix This card can give itself the returning text many times, which feels incredibly sloppy. Better Offer I don't see any good reason why the last sentence needs the second "perpetually," which would normally be fine except that I think it would save them a line break...
