Per Borgès: Per the Tao Te Ching: Mumon's commentary: that's fuckin right bro

I spoke poorly. I find the Savant irksome. That's not a comment on its quality of fit with CN2 draft.

I briefly was like, oh, Arcane Savant is a cool way to cast a cheaper Dragonstorm, and then I remembered the games I had actually played with Arcane Savant, and then I shuddered in horror, and then I said no thank you. Cheap enablers for expensive archetypes are well and good (and I play Oath...

You're missing that it costs 2 and can grow itself reasonably if you're in the late game and it's just you and Julio down by the grave yard. It doesn't have to "grow consistently" to be a 3/4 for 2, and in a lot of games its gonna be a lot bigger than a mere 3/4....

Alesha is a red card. See? Says right in the top corner.

Big announcement! I am finally willing to say that I have completed initial tweaks of SHARZAD V3.0 !!! A brief writeup, then I'll move on to discussing some archetypes and colours. -------- Sharzad 3 is a 500 card Legacy-Lite environment that tries to recapture both the thrill of learning Magic...

I play Berserk-Scale Up.dec constantly and it is one of the cooler things that Green in my cube gets to do. Scale Up in particular is very interesting and cool as a card. Being Sorcery-speed means you have to cast it before combat and that means casting it into Villain's open mana is a little...

yes, yes, but it's kind of BS in cube because it incentivizes you to hate-draft off-colour fatties, preventing them from wheeling in the draft

Nathan Fielder for HBO's The Rehearsal is unique and compelling. very funny very thought provoking. must-see tv. The final episode just aired this weekend and I'm still thinking about it, a lot, a lot a lot.

Yes, sorry! my sig is super out of date, will fix this...... my cubecobra draft for Sharzad v3 is here: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/sharzad and if you jump to the latest page of my RipLab thread it should date to at the very earliest 2020 xoxo

Yup. asked and answered

DHA isn't a spells-matter payoff. it's a mulldrifter that doesn't care what you feed it. I skimmed your list and while DHA does not have a ton of food available anyone with a faithless looting and dha in their deck is probably very likely to have DHA be the best card in their 40 e: this said...

if I add 'read ahead' sagas i'm just gonna highlight the Read Ahead rules text so it isn't lost e: big fan of this sheoldred

Anger and Wonder great and fun

Maybe I'm just being a snob, but Maro's kind of a boring writer, no? I refuse to accept that the Magic playerbase that reads these design articles is still stuck in grade school. Maro's writing is still more competent than the rest of the Wizards employees who call themselves writers (for whom...

Berserk is the way and the light. So stoked for your green prowess lists. Also, I'll be borrowing that "End of Days" wrath/clysm. VERY cool. Looking forward to naming Artifact, Planeswalker, World...

I just read it for the articles.

Conjecture, Niblis. the others are weak and old

a budget card that glues token/sac to yard/discard? That supports 'Gaak? Nezumi Bone-Reader Augur of Skulls Cabal Therapist Scrapheap Scrounger[/c]

Yes and no. I think 'The Deck'.dec votes for small games - it used things like Moat, Disrupting Scepter, Swords, Counterspell, etc - 1-for-1 or 1-for-n trades. So did Countertop control, in particular Miracles - Terminus takes a lot of resources off the board for a single {W}. But there have...
