Arcanist is the more interesting card because it requires you to enter the rumble zone and thereby changes your play patters, whereas Magmatic Channeler is a Saga with a bunch of chapters that give you an option to cast a variant on Tormenting Voices and then you get a 4/4 as the last chapter...

If I ever stop posting about this card, please assume that I've been replaced by some sort of android. More or Less This card does it all. Silly combos, serious combos, combat tricks, counterspells, a kill spell for X/1s, this thing is only limited by your imagination. I truly believe that...

Shard So, okay, it's a token, and yes, it draws on death, but this is pretty similar to the dog's effect and I think it goes to show that enchantments can just draw a card upon state change. Also, even more than that, I think the fact that it took us so long to remember that these exist goes...

Darksteel Relic I also think it's fallacious to assume that one card = one living being otherwise planes walking would cause you to shit yourself uncontrollably due to leaving your gut flora behind. That's not to say that cards don't normally work that way, but rather that it doesn't always...

It's neat that you made a deck for constructed, and the deck sound pretty sweet, too! However, it's not doing what I'm interested in. Thanks for sharing! Because I want the decks to work that way, it's not strictly necessary but I want them to, and yes. Kinda confused myself as to why you'd...

If you want both the enchantment and the wall, may I interest you in The Birth of Meletis ? You draw a card that's always a plains, but the upside is that you know it'll always be a plains.

Oh duh, thanks for the reminder! Yeah, I've run a lot of these cards including the Magus, but I'll check against that later today to see if I can figure out why my decks haven't been performing.

Sure, if you want to take apart the semantics of flexible versus unpredictable and how one leads to the other then that's fine, but the point remains that there are holes in the archetype and that they make the deck unwieldy. My issue with hybrid untap-flash decks is that they're an even more...

Okay, I might have exaggerated a bit on them being incredibly mediocre, but the point stands that the actual creatures tend to be weirdly uneven in terms of quality and part of the point of a flash deck existing is to be unpredictable. If you're always wanting to cast a creature on 2 or 4 and...

@Brad--good point on untapping creatures being an interesting interaction! Makes Drumbellower look even more attractive. @blacksmithy--Totally different conversation, but I always felt like Flash's biggest problem was a lack of decent things to drop on 3 and 5 that aren't really pushed like...

I love the idea of untap-based ramp, not in the least because it makes bouncelands a lot more viable. However, it's kind of crappy without dedicating an absurd amount of support for it. Has anyone made it work? My drafts have been based around the Lotus Field decks using the following cards and...

For those of us worried about a proliferation of uncounterable abilities, shoutout to my boy for being a surprisingly relevant "counterspell," especially if you're running/supporting Captain Sisay in your GW section or the new Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful. Tale's End

They're broken for constructed and are definitely design mistakes there but they're great for limited and therefore great for cube. Anything I can do to make Naturalize playable is a plus in my book just because people probably should run it but don't like eating their vegetables.

Well, that's prerelease for you. My opponent had game 3 locked up pretty well regardless, though, so I don't think it would have made much of a difference. It certainly makes him harder to build around. Maybe we've finally found the right shell for Razor Boomerang . . . ?

Another card I think got overlooked is Tameshi, Reality Architect Specs absolutely smashed my face in during my in-house prerelease, and I was not expecting him to be anywhere near this good. Turns out having Refurbish on legs that draws cards is really really good. He also triggers off of...

I should clarify--I like the concept of Glassdust Hulk, but it's always pretty crappy in practice. Definitely a good candidate for my (eventual) Almost-Ran Personal Alchemy Cube.

Kappa Cannoneer Glassdust Hulk Speaking of artifacts, is anyone else testing Catapult Turtle? I like Hulk, but it's kind of rough and this is cheaper (could realistically be played for 4 in artifact-heavy decks), monocolored, and better when you can play it. How much does the cycling factor...

She wants a bear with a cupholder armrest. She wants a bear who will get her there. She's changing her name from Ula to Ulamog She's changing her tanuki for a normal-ass dog I want a girl with a big hat and a loooooong, long jacket.

While the Gruul deck seems a little on the EDH side (yes, I know), Azorius got some nifty toys. In particular, the Drummer looks really juiced. Catapult Turle looks deceptively good, like a spruced-up Glassdust Hulk, as do the other Improvise cards. The vehicles also really help to flesh out...
