The {1}{U} -> {U}{U} cost structure on Winter's Rouse feels really inelegant. It's close enough to being the same cost that it may as well be. The card also seems too efficient. I'd try it at {U}{U} -> {U}{U} or {1} {U} -> {2}{U}. Ancestral Impulse is also too strong. It's practically a...

On the bright side, the words on the pony cards are such that I won't be tempted to touch them.

I was bouncing around cantrip ideas, and I thought something like this would be an interesting play. Not too flashy, but it's conditionally tempo and card advantage. It's also a whiff if you hit a planeswalker or most other legendaries. The wording seems clear to me, but the "otherwise" bit...

I'm not a fan of the non-Human clause on Grumgully and a few other ELD cards, when a significant fraction of red's beaters are Humans.

In 1v1, it's always going to be a wrath unless a Mindslaver effect is involved. That's why I've modified mine to not have the extra text.

In the defensive blue spells-matter 2 drop category... Baral, Chief of Compliance VS. Thing in the Ice Thinking about trimming one of these because Fae of Wishes plays in the same space, and Snapcaster Mage is staying of course.

Tell me more about this? It sounds fun.

Mystic Sanctuary + Cryptic Command = tap all your creatures every turn for 4 mana, but I don't get a draw step or land drops. That's strong and sometimes game-winning, but will backfire sometimes. Mystic Sanctuary + Gush = I draw one extra card for every two land drops I skip. Are you really...

Realm-Cloaked Giant looks like something I'd try out, but may not keep it if I don't want an extra wrath. I'm not entirely convinced it's better than Fumigate. Fae of Wishes looks sweet. The body needs to be the reason to put it in your deck, because a 4 mana wish is not remotely playable, and...

I think the idea is that all your creatures step through the flame, and they either burn or shine. If they're not knights, they burn, which does nothing because it's a really weak flame. If they are honorable knights, they shine, and a random nearby human is like "Wow, that dude is shiny. I want...

Embercleave should reasonably come down on turn 4 in an aggressive deck and deal some surprise damage, and it should always make the wielder survive combat that turn. I think that's good enough for me to play, especially because I rarely see a viable combat trick. I don't think it gets my...

Flame Javelin wasn't that great.

Presumably counting down to that twitch thing. Garruk looks very strong to me, draws an obvious comparison to Elspeth, Sun's Champion. Not sure about Piper. The Rats might give you enough flexibility on blocking that it can stall the board and steal something, but that might be overly optimistic.

Adventure is very flexible, it's like kicker that you can play ahead of time. Embereth Shieldbreaker seems good. Probably better than Torch Fiend, definitely better than Manic Vandal.

Yeah, that's good, clean design for Food. The token templating change is probably good on balance. It's a bit inconsistent that "artifact" is omitted but "creature" is included. I would have expected Lovestruct Beast to be "create a 1/1 white Human token." But creature subtypes and artifact...

Apparently the oracle wording for every card that makes Treasures has now been updated, to "create a Treasure token." So that means that (1) the mana ability is now rules baggage of the Treasure subtype, (2) the artifact type is implied if an artifact subtype is given, and (3) "colorless" is...

Manaburn.org will allow custom card images at some point (after they get a patreon to pay for hosting). It seems like we'll be stuck with CT until then.

My cube's Jund draft generally go one of two ways - efficient midrange value creatures (mostly green/black) and cheap removal (black/red), sometimes with an aristocrats (black/red) component and mana dorks to push out threats faster; or cheating out huge threats with things like reanimate /...

How far would I have to push Prossh Skyraider of Kher to make it playable at a high power level. I'm thinking about this as a starting point: The ETB is a bit more abusable than an awkward cast trigger, trample is a big deal on the activation, and sacrificing itself is a minor bonus. I feel...

Obviously the set is knights of the round table, but the knights are all fairies, and also the table is fairies. Probably also the throne is fairies? It's too early to say for sure at this point, but early indications are that everything is fairies.
