    Ulvenwald Monstrostiy is the Canadian card every printed. It’s a cross between a Moose and a Grizzly bear! To top it off, it’s surrounded by Maple Leaves! I can hear O Canada! Playing just looking at this card. Wilfred Laurier/10 will test. This is easily one of the most interesting cards in...

    Yeah our previous options were a little underwhelming... I mean, I like the original art from Fate Reforged, but nothing about it says "kill spell." Likewise, the Clash Pack art looks like a kill spell, but not all that much like a protection spell. It kind of looks like you just wrap the...

    Honestly this is not a bad card! It has a raise dead tacked on when it dies, so it's kind of a cantrip dude, plus it enables itself with some mill. I would probably play this if it was a 2/2, as is I think my black section in my main cube is a little too tight for this. Having said that, I...

    I kind of like this tutor but I'm afraid exiling the top 13 cards of your decks is a little bit much for 40 card decks. A player's library is already going to be drained of at least 9 cards by the time they get to cast this (7 from opening hand, plus 2 cards drawn for turn assuming they're on...

    But it literally is cleaner. You're not having to read a short novel to get to the endpoint of "if you paid the other cost, ignore the restriction." I don't think "ignore the brackets" is anywhere near comparable to "Destroy two target nonblack creatures unless either one is a color the other...

    But Cleave is cleaner than using kicker or split cards for these effects. All of the cards with cleave would require writing out an entire second "if this spell was kicked" version of the text, which takes up a lot of space on the card and turns it into word soup. You'd be doubling or even...

    No, it's not just you. Most of the enchantment cards have been pretty bad so far. Take this card: It's cheap enough to be relevant to an enchantments player, but the ability is just awful. If this said "draw a card," or even "draw a card. This ability only triggers once each turn," it would...

    You do realize the game designers think Kicker is too broad, right? Yes, a lot of things can be done by brute-forcing a kicker template, but they wouldn't be as clean or elegant as just being spun off into their own mechanic. According to MaRo, the designs with this new "Cleave" mechanic...

    They can't put the counters on themselves, unfortunately. You need a second creature to part the counters on. That's not necessarily a dealbreaker for some people but it does make the card highly context dependent.

    I'm adding this to my Emotional Support Card module.

    Probably not. At this point, enchantress really has the number of good cheap enchantments it needs to be a viable archetype. We've got great ramp via Utopia Sprawl and Wild Growth, card draw with Omen of the Sea and Abundant Growth, threats with Boon Satyr, The First Iroan Games, and Herald of...

    Between Return to Ravnica and Magic Origins, one of the booster packs in a prerelease kit would be replaced with a "seeded" pack focusing on cards of one color or faction. Before Khans of Tarkir, these kits had locked promo rares with alternate art. Starting with Battle for Zendikar, seeded...

    Theme Booster packaging! I really like the look of the vampires in this set. The Vampire on the 5-color "Vampires" theme booster kind of looks like Jenna Coleman, the actress who played Clara Oswold in Doctor Who. I don't think the "Vampires" booster being 5-color is any indication of vampires...

    OOOh I like this idea. Chromantiflayer is definitely a viable option, then!

    What, should every card just use charge counters? I think flavored counters on individual cards are cool, such as page counters on Mindmaze Tome, ember counters on Smoldering Egg, Slumber counters on Arixmethes, mining counters on Gemstone Mine and so on. They make cards a little more...
