That's definitely a sweet card, though probably too pushed for my power level. Maybe I paste a {3} over that {2} and run it with the change?

Well, generally people only trade for what they need, so it's hard to trade non-playable things for playable ones. But that Naganadel looks plenty competitive (take my opinion with a grain of salt though, I haven't played in a year), and a hyper rare of such a card should carry significant...

Yep, you can only attach one energy card to a Pokemon you control each turn. In response to Jason's article: you're spot on about the differences from Magic. No competitive Pokemon player that I've met plays Limited. It just doesn't exist. Oftentimes, people attend a prerelease or two as they...

Yeah, from the art I gathered that this Goldilocks has decided to cleave the heads off each member of the bear family and is now figuring out where to peddle their pelts. :D

I saw a prediction that the mechanic is going to be a one-time use ability, with an effect that advances the story of the card. So for example, the Goldilocks ability could be 'destroy 3 non-Human creatures' (though that might be a tad strong).

I doubt it would be statistically GRBS, but if it ends the game every time it comes down, it's very quickly going to become infamous among your players. Perceived unfairness is still going to affect your players, even if pressure from aggro or strong answers from control would actually keep it...

I think Craterhoof has a much higher chance of immediately ending the game, while being much worse in a losing position. Giving Vigilance, Trample, and a fixed buff makes End-Raze Forerunners really powerful in any deck that can cast it or cheat it into play. If you cast this with another...

Two weeks ago, one of my drafters came to me with a request. He had a box in his closet jammed full of cards from Unstable, along with a couple goodies from earlier Un-sets. Could we turn this pile of cards into a cube? A few things enticed me about this project. It had tight design...

I like to customize every card and component of commander decks, just as you described, though I certainly see why others would not want to. When all your cards have character, even in the form of minor downsides, so many more routes are opened, including subthemes or flavor maximising. But with...

Allow me to further derail it; I like this argument a lot, because it's one of the main questions humanity is facing right now: how do we evaluate the value of life, whether human or not? This is seen in a wide range of issues from animal welfare to abortion to loss of biodiversity to genetic...

Yup, TCGPlayer is awesome. If you shop smart you'll never have to pay extra for all those $.25 or $.50 cards at normal retailers. I also use Card Kingdom because their physical stores are near me and you can both buy and sell at their Seattle location. Basically I trade shipping costs for gas...

There aren't many choices when it comes to miracles though. In blue, you have a grand total of 3: -Temporal Mastery (I don't really want people topdecking Time Walk in my format) -Vanishment (this seems a bit lackluster, and any value tied up in its instant speed would most likely be lost when...

That sounds pretty interesting, and would be a good way not to tie too much value to individual draft picks. Giving people a bunch of fetches is still likely to raise the value of any given shock somewhat, but it should still be fairly balanced. With some experimentation, that could be really...

From what I've seen on reddit (haven't actually watched the panel yet) it seems the changes are: A. Throne of Eldraine is the Arthurian + fairy tales plane Maro has been pushing for B. Arena will add a 1v1 Brawl format C. Throne of Eldraine Brawl precons are planned for release D. (the actual...

It seems like that would place too much weight on specific fixing lands. If you get the shockland for your primary color pair, you would be at a huge advantage over someone who did not, as having 1-2 fetches that can find your shock should be trivial, paying massive consistency benefits. In...

Ah yes, the insectile neural leech in all its glory... how could you say no to this charming fellow? That art might seem unappealing, but you ain't seen nuthin' till you've feasted your eyes upon the FNM promo version: What a beauty to have in foil!

Seems I was quite lucky; all of those mechanics have a place in my cube! Other than Flashback, they were a bit lacking in options too. Populate especially; there's some good multicolor options, like Growing Ranks and maybe Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage, but there's almost nothing in monocolor. To weigh...

Salvaging Station Death Cloud Undead Alchemist Crawling Sensation Splendid Reclamation Mindstorm Crown Also, from the new set: Golos, Tireless Pilgrim This version of Everythingamajig has been in my cube for a while, and it hasn't done much yet, but is pretty sweet on paper: You can pretty...

I'm looking for blue cards that reward a TOL-matters theme. Why should my players care what's on top of their library?
