I got wrecked by someone playing Smothering Tithe Emergency Power as a storm-type deck... I thought it was interesting

Has anyone here played Slay the Spire? It's a deck-builder dungeon-crawler hybrid and it's fantastic!

That was my conclusion as well. I didn't mean to say that Pelakka is unplayable or that no deck wants it, but it's going to take a lot more for a deck to play an expensive 4CCC card than a 2CC card. Nor am I trying to make a power-level analysis of the cards. I'm giving an example in the...

Look at the difference between, say Harrow Nissa's Triumph Harrow isn't going to (generally) be a poisonous ramp card, it has utility in other strategies (graveyard, lands-matter, sacrifice maybe) and can help splash other colors. Nissa's Triumph on the other hand, is only going into very...

Drafting WAR

Contributor

If you couldn't tell from my numerous posts in the WAR Spoilers thread, I've had a blast drafting this format and want to take some of the designs from WAR and create a cube around them. This is a rough draft of what I think of the format, what's important, how it translates to Cube and what...

How many of each, Astrolab and Golem? 2? 3? 5?? Also makes me wonder what if Eager Construct cost {1}...

Speaking of juvenile sounding usernames, you should try having "the kid" in yours ;)

Is there an Aid the Fallen but for creature + non-creature permanant? I know they've printed a lot of variants on this over the years. Aid the Fallen

Preach man, preach. But the problem I've encountered in WAR drafting is there's some board states where the Hero simply can't effectively attack a planeswalker and then that walker runs away with the game (It's usually the rares/mythics, but Arlinn, Voice of the Pack and Kasmina, Enigmatic...

Maybe there's a card that already does this, but I couldn't find it so here it is: Inspiration is Burning Earth and Burning Vengeance Earth's Burning Vengeance 2R - Enchantment Whenever a player casts a spell from their graveyard, ~ deals 2 damage to that player. Whenever one or more cards...

Meloku in my experience is not low power. It's usually: T1: Play Meloku, with mana enough to protect them as well. T2: Pass the turn, still holding up protection. End of opponent's T2: pick up all your lands, make that many flying 1/1s T3: Kill with the army of flying 1/1s.

If you want spells matters but it doesn't have to be blue, then Burning Prophet would be my choice for 2-mana 1/3. Burning Prophet

This deck was super fun to pilot, and I ran the table again, this time at 5-1, with my only match loss in two quick games to T3 Feather, The Redeemed. It's a G/B "Rainbows" deck, which is to say I picked up fixing early on and grabbed the best card out of every pack 3. During the draft, I passed...

Back at it with another 5-win deck. Seems that this is the only Magic I've played in the last several months and I'm on a tear. I did get carried by the bombs in my pool (Enter the God-Eternals and Finale of Eternity) a bit here. I think they got "spells matter" very right in this set! Several...

Got another 5-0 this evening with Bant+ (UGWb) I'm really starting to enjoy drafting this format. It's slow enough that decks can be creative in putting together combos (proliferate, etc) while also forcing players to be proactive on turns 2 and 3 or risk falling behind to the planeswalkers...

Late to the party, but got my first 5-0 draft on Arena Bo3 with this piece of garbage: The draft started out with Jace, Kasmina, then Jaya, afterwhich U and R dried up for the rest of it. Cobbled this together as an aggressive try. Outside of a game I won off of Jace passive (lol) I never felt...

holY shit!

Sounds like an opportunity to template a custom mechanic: Accumulated Cards {1}{U} Instant Tempo: Draw X cards, where X is the number of cards with Tempo in all graveyards. Accumulated Pings {1}{R} Sorcery Tempo: Accumulated Pings deals X damage to target creature or player, where X is the...
