Check your rulebook bro. In order for a damage effect to target something, at least 1 damage must be assigned. Otherwise you could spend {R}{R} and kill 231874897348467 tarpit warriors at once.

I run 4/11 of those ! And although I love some discard outlet, I'm not sold on Lightning Axe. A lot of these I've shared in the past, but why not post them together! WordmailMark of EvictionCarnivorous Death-ParrotPhyrexian Reclamation Tibalt, the Fiend-BloodedFecundityFire...

Sort of. You need to assign at least 1 damage to each target. So you can plink as many creatures on the board as you want for free while burning face. If you switch to Comet Storm, you can burn there face while also nuking anything else you want for the same amount for no additional cost. Not...

Renowned Weaver is awesome, but the powerlevel is too low. Seems fixable. I hope tonight's preview a bunch of constellation cards. We've only seen, what, 4?

Well tonight was disappointing. A functional reprint and almost functional reprint. Whee.

Hmm a 3 CC Shepherd with help from Heliod, Dictate of Heliod, Evangel of Heliod, Spear of Heliod and Springjack Pasture? Heliod, God of Goats ftw!

White devotion is so close to awesome, its really frustrating. Maybe calling back Springjack Shepherd can make it come together, though it might need a CC shave.

Fanatic of Xenagos Its a decent card, but it doesn't actually use the tribute design space in any interesting way.

I just run so few big creatures I'm not sure I'd get that much value out of the card. I guess agreeing on 12/13 cards isn't bad! Also, Eric's brazen dropping of lightning bolt (which, I'll admit, hadn't really crossed my mind at the time) really inspired a lot of the important changes that I...

I really like and play all of those cards. Except Unburial Rites. That card is just completely uninteresting to me, which I find odd, since I like every other card you listed. Can you sell me on what makes it stand out as a great card?

I think if you are looking at staples, you need to be looking at effects that do not have a lot of redundancy. If there is redundancy, then you can have power/environment tinkering. One might say Doom Blade is a staple, but there are, like, 20 cards that do the same thing, so which one of...

I actually run counterspell because I feel it has the appropriate power level for the effect AND it is just a blue effect, which I want in a card that costs {U}{U}. If I was looking for the best card at what it does, I'd be looking at Mana Leak (96% of the time the same effect with easier...

The people who use the word staple are the same people who would immediately drop any of their supposed staples if a stronger version of that card came out. Which sort of makes me think they aren't using the right word.

Yeah, I think Dictate of Heliod is way better then collective blessing. The entire package just makes loosing some impact completely worth it. I just don't know if "better then a card I don't like" is worth that much and I'm still on the fence on supporting white devotion.

I'm not sure I want this card, but the even though its noticeably weaker then Collective Blessing (which I have ragged on in the past), the combination of reduced casting cost, flash and simpler color commitment is certainly very interesting. Curving it into Evangel of Heliod is pretty sweet.

He's pretty interesting. I guess he's pretty blue. After looking at my list, his ability works with less cards then I first thought. Not sure how good the heroic trigger actually is, though. Most of the instants I would target him with already protect him. He's a definite to consider and is...

Fortunately, I have no interest in the card, so whether I'm right or completely, mind-numbingly wrong about Keranos it won't matter. Well, that is until a year later I realize that this is the exact effect needed for [insert the latest dumb theme I'm trying to jam] . MORE GIANT SHEEP!!!

He's definitely much lower impact then inferno titan and the power curve on him is glacially slow. But, its clearly an accumulating advantage card and you can't cut your losses with a doom blade. As Jason pointed out it takes 3 untaps to outvalue prophetic bolt (which does it as an instant with...

Remember when you wanted to gain one life a turn and it didn't give you a giant sheep? Ok, no one played Ajani's Mantra, but tacking it on to an 0/5 wall, with op Nielsen art? Something to consider! (During your upkeep, gain 1 life)

To be clear, I don't like the card. I do think that if you can get him down and stretch out the game, you pretty much win, but I don't think that's a very interesting gameplay pattern. I mean, I don't particularly think Phyrexian Arena is that great, paying 2 more for a little upside is not...
