Thanks! I think you've confirmed my thoughts on it, and yeah, reigning in my complexity budget is a priority of mine. I have the alt art versions of both cards, though, and they're each terrific. (But yes, the Gold Dragon's art is part of why I'm even contemplating the switch. If I'm going to...

Thanks for the suggestions! And so sorry for just leaving that to sit. I think my winner is probably Planar Cleansing, as Austere Command is quite strong and Catastrophe seems game-ending in the wrong ways (strong both when you're ahead and when you're behind, and I like my wraths a little...

Stack of Paperwork! It's fun.

Seconding what others have said, More or Less is, to me, the most Blue spell ever printed, along with being a really good combat trick. And echoing the warning against Clocknapper, as it's really easy to "accidentally" win with it.

Good point on exiling! Had missed that.

Kirtar's Wrath Vs. Descend upon the sinful I know, I know, six mana wraths with conditional upside are not normally what people are going to want, but humor me. I'm worried that if my environment wants a six mana wrath, however, that possibly getting a 4/4 flier out of the deal might be too...

Standard will power down when Eldraine rotates, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Again, though, I'm very much here for these cards. I'm not sure they're in the right direction power level wise for my cube, but I'm glad they exist. Or maybe I just have to make a second cube to give them a...

Also, isn't this someone's custom?

So it begins. ... In all honesty, I'm actually really excited by these cards for a lot of the same reasons shamizy is! My only gripe is how the flavor text on Join the Dance would have read a lot better if it reversed the order of its text and took out the dumb hyphenation, i.e. "We can go...

Even worse--we're going to have it today.

Dark Souls IX: The Rise of Soulwalker was particularly egregious when they revealed that Gwyn had been cloned and was behind the plot all along.

Looking at the light sources, I'm going to have to agree with the article saying that those are likely the two trees of Valinor (see how there are two of them, one behind the other, looking like . . . trees?) and that therefore the city is, well, Valinor. That's the original home of the elves in...

Bloodfire Dwarf Does anyone run anything like this? I'm unsure how I feel about 1/1s for 1, even those with handy abilities. It's definitely a lot worse without damage going on the stack :/

Going in a different direction than the above discussion, for Static Discharge you can just deal 3 + X damage, where X is the number of Static counters you (the player) have, then put a static counter on yourself. I think the only difference it would make would be to buff Discharges in exile...

I like chess when I'm evenly matched with my opponent. If there's any imbalance, it quickly becomes anti-fun, regardless of the direction of imbalance. If the outcome is deterministic, it's a slot machine, not a game. James' situation with his chess fanatic friend sounds fun to me, though, but...

D A N K N E S S Gelatinous.

Exactamundo.

I have 3 tags sitting around, let's go out with a bang: Decimate Tectonic Edge Tagging @Velrun

I'd guess that, like with a lot of WotC's forays into new territory like Secret Lairs or Mythic Editions (lol, remember those things?), there's an intent to make the first generation kind of mediocre. I've not found any of these cards to be particularly inspiring, and like @MilesOfficial said it...

ONE OF US. ONE OF US. Dust Bowl Now that someone else is joining in the fun, I should probably lay out the rules I've been using to guide my choices. No basic land destruction until T4, no non basic hate until T3. With fetchlands making up such a large part of the environment, this should let...
