I am so happy with my Earthcraft decks now. They have integrated themselves into other archetypes and now feel coherent as a theme. For example: Naya Turbohumans https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/63b01404bee892509ff45afc Anyways, I've been running the numbrs and I have both a small amount of...

You can have factions in a game without locking them out of vital abilities, such as answering all card types or having access to draw. In other games, it's normal, it doesn't led to all factions being the same or to RPS dynamics. In fact, it promotes diversity because your ability to play a...

They are the same type of card, very much like instant and sorceries. You are right that you could reduce both and the game would be better off for it. I think it all goes back to the idea that artifacts "turned off" when tapped. While it was a design decision, making entire colors unable to...

Cube hits: Tchotchke Elemental The Raven Man Currency Converter Containment Construct Tchotchke Elemental is just a lot of fun. It really should be in more cubes, it supports a lot of stuff and is not oppressive. It is one of the few good green aggro cards and it goes with both tokens and...

I wish Astral Slide and its modern housing were easy to slot in, it's such a cool effect.

Congratulations Dom! That enchantment deck looks like a lot of fun.

LadyMapi is right. In practice, he's win more. If you are already attacking, not being blocked and can recast your guys, do you really need more? It's a very cool design, I'm just not sure it will help the archetype too much!

It's like Emry, Lurker of the Loch. You can only cast it once.

Let's talk about an odd card. Reezug, the Bonecobbler This is a unique, interesting effect and it comes with a 1/3 two mana body. The "digital" aspect can be solved by using a token or whatever. What comes to mind when you see this effect? How would you use it?

It's just a shame, because all these cards (Except Flagstones) are just a hair more powerful than I'm comfortable with. If Balance were a bit more expensive, if Gaea's Cradle costed one mana to activate or Titania didn't return a fetch, they would all be fine. I would be happy to have them in my...

Damn you Inscho! Now I'm thinking of stuff like this: Balance Gaea's Cradle Titania, Protector of Argoth Flagstones of Trokair Danger, danger! The thing is that, for me, the ideal power level is something where my blink decks are good. They can do some cool stuff, but they are fair. If they...

Recruitment Officer vs Giant Killer Not too similar cards. Which one do you prefer and why?

I remember quite a few discussions on how this or that Vintage deck should run Mana Leak because being able to cast it from a single island was better than the added benefits from Mana Drain.

I also want to note one thing. Art, the kind that has worth, doesn't come from endlessly reclying older ideas or overplayed inspiration. It comes from observation; observation of the real world we all live in. We all lose when a chunk of our world becomes a miasma of recycled ideas.

If you can't understand why the wheel is not subject to copyright, you are not ready to debate this subject. Inform yourself first. That's not true. If I go and make a webcomic using Disney characters, that's a breach of copyright no matter if I do it for free or I don't pass them as my own...

The fundamental problem is that the current tools are using copyrighted works, down to the entire database of magic cards, without the permission of their authors. It's no different from slamping, only on a larger scale. And it's clear the owners of these platforms know this because they have...

Some thoughts. First, I think extending "spells matter" per se, into green is not that great. It's possible and you can do it in the right cube, but I found it takes a good bite out of green's versatility to support an already great archetype. Hence, no Dragonsguard Elite. Second, Managorger...

I just don't think it's an inteersting mechanic. The difference between being hit by 2 damage or 1 poison are minor.

For me that's the biggest thing, isn't it? The 3 mana slot of everything is so crowded.
