    General (ONE) Phyrexia: All will be One Testing/Includes Thread

    Yes Cacophany Scamp Talked about Scamp already, really cool one-drop that lets you flex the brain muscles. Maybe? Staff of the Storyteller Blade of Shared Souls Capricious Hellraiser Cankerbloom Not sure how I feel about Staff, I don't like repeatable card draw, but making creature tokens isn't...

    I'm aware Fireblade Charger exists; it's the card I'll be removing from the list in favor of Scamp. And for what it's worth, I think Charger is a generically more powerful card, but it's also more narrow and less exciting.

    Cacophany Scamp I think this is the most promising card for me spoiled so far. The design is kind of opaque because of how much attention the proliferate effect takes, and while there is some use for proliferation in my cube, it's not that appealing of an effect. However, even ignoring that, it...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I should have used an example without simic since my mind always defaults to UG. I think I've tried the exercise of aligning three hybrid symbols of a wedge several times before and not being able to do so in an aesthetically pleasing way which is always extremely frustrating. Honestly if I...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I don't think there's a precedent for what you are asking for (assuming I understand it correctly), but my personal guess is that wotc would make them transition into each other. So for e.g. bant it would be :w::u: -> :u::g: -> :g::w: and for mardu it would be :w::b: -> :b::r: -> :r::w:. You...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I'll just write the principle behind the color order for anyone curious. First of all, the colors are always listed in clockwise order. Atraxa is GWUB, which is starting at G and going clockwise. Why doesn't it start with white instead of green, the first color in WUBRG order? Because the...

    damn I should've made a prediction somewhere, that's exactly what I thought it would be, except for the exact number of cards exiled I am kind of interested in a 2/2 double strike that makes your other equipment better, although I'm not convinced the cost reduction is realistically that...

    I can't even imagine what it would take for me to want to include poison counters, the cube would probably have to almost look like a ONE/NPH set-cube. Otherwise they would too often end up as this one thing you have to track just in case it becomes relevant, even though it probably won't. And...

    If you wanted to put counterspells into another color it would probably have to be white. The reason they haven't commited to mana leaks in white is because from a gameplay perspective they usually feel more like cheap gotchas, which doesn't align with white's identity the same way taxing...

    General Why Slash Panther is no longer a Vintage Staple

    I can't believe they printed Fleetwheel Cruiser. Kaladesh certainly ushered in a new age of power level to magic.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Channel used to have a pretty strong mechanical identity in original Kamigawa of giving an instant-spell version of the creature's in-play ability, but half of the channel cards in neo-kamigawa just do something thematically related to the card, so now it's pretty much a superset of every...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    adventure frame giant killer is one of my favorite magic arts so that one it's also a more decision-rich card that imho leads to more interesting gameplay, and it's more appealing to have in the eos toolbox

    I personally think I'd just make them into separate names, like "Wind Up" and "Wind Elemental", you still have the same gimmick, and many of them get to sound a lot less awkward.

    General What to do with white's cool recursion?

    You target Phyrexian Dragon Engine, Triarch Praetorian and Fell Stinger with the latter two. Brought Back is great with sagas and evoke elementals.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    You can look to any format where these are legal to see that this effect is generally undesirable in decks that aren't looking to replay them from the graveyard, get higher spell velocity, or enable delirium and/or delve. In a regular deck it marginally trims your deck size at the cost of making...
