    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    You can also make an informed decision on when to cast Goblin Lore depending on what's in your hand, when I say you can make an informed decision on what to keep and what to discard, I am saying you are operating with perfect information (in regards to the content of your hand). Rummaging is...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Faithless Looting, the actual card, does get reprints, because it's a popular and desirable card that people use across formats. You can't undo its existence. Faithless Looting is not an example of what red gets, because it would be considered a color pie break by the modern color pie. It's...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    oh I meant goblin lore and not goblin game if anyone was confused What isn't? Thrill of Possibility is the same category of card as Catharthic Reunion, which was my arbitrary rummaging stand-in. And the conversation was about the color pie, so while yes, red also doesn't get literally Faithless...

    Red doesn't get to sculpt their hand through looting, red's card filtering/advantage all plays into gambling or other impulsive patterns, whether it's cards like Goblin Game, Catharthic Reunion or Light up the Stage. Faithless Looting is too methodical, it gives you an informed decision of what...

    The card you're looking for is Rowdy Crew.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I didn't advocate giving every color preordain. I'm perfectly okay with narrowing the types of cantrips blue gets as a consequence of giving some of them to black. It's also kind of funny that you would use Faithless Looting as an example when it's explicitly something they decided red isn't...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Because I like the gameplay effect it provides and therefore want it to be more prevalent across the different colors, just like how I wouldn't want every color to have to splash red or black to have ways to deal with creatures.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I don't want vampiric tutors or night's whispers, I want mental notes, considers, careful studies, phyrexian preordains. Black can draw literally any card from their deck, but a sleight of hand is too much to ask for. I'll pay life if I have to.

    Black consistently disappoints me as a color. Want reanimation spells to sit at 3 mana? Hope you like exclusively playing Necromancy. Want some cheap cantrips? Strategic Planning is the best we can offer you. We're a secondary flash color, want some instant-speed beaters? Don't worry bud...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Just want to give a heads up that if you like making custom cards and don't hate antiquated forum software, we are hosting our annual big design contest over at nogoblinsallowed. For some background, we're a community mostly made up of card designers and flavor nerd refugees from 2013 when WotC...

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    The whole selling point of the mechanic is that the face of the card is always in sync with the day/night phase, instead of original Innistrad where werewolves all followed their own timezones. If you could just Moonmist them around then you'd end up with the same thing again.

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    I want to, but first I need enough cards to "dive" into. I think there's five of them so far I want to play, which is starting to approach being sufficient, but I would ideally want some that aren't red or white (since the blue one isn't good enough). The mana rock is maybe worth it. edit: I...

    General Games End. Memories Are Forever.

    A lot of things can be memorable. Cards that produces tense games: Dark Confidant, Demonic Pact, Angel of Grace, Triskadekaphobia. Cards that produce miserable games: Jokulhaups, Smokestack, The Abyss. Cards that have high variance: Also Dark Confidant, Bloodbraid Elf, Gyruda, Doom of Depths...

    General Silver bordered cards

    You were doing a good job of selling me on the card until you raised the expectation that people would be using it to try and retroactively add modes and targets to spells on the stack, which made me realize I really don't want to have to make rulings for this nonsense.

    The Music Thread

    I've seen the name before, and I've probably listened to some of their works. I did enjoy Mr. Beast. It's sometimes hard to keep track of the different artists though, a lot of them blend together in my head and it becomes difficult to know what I have and haven't heard before, they're not as...

    General Jumpstart, Historic Horizons spoiler thread

    I don't really expect any of the cards to come out of this to be so mind-blowing amazing that I'd be compelled to find a way to put them into my cube, but if you really feel the need: Seek: Magic obviously has no way to tutor for cards randomly without looking at and having to subsequently...

    The Music Thread

    I'm not really convinced people tend to listen to what gets posted in these threads, but regardless, here are some of the albums that effectively define my music taste. If you want to listen to people sing, you've come to the wrong place. First off is the second album by CLANN, Seelie, which...

    General Dear Hearthstone Players

    I missed a cardback before Un'Goro released and immediately lost all motivation to play afterwards. How identical does it need to be? Arcane Intellect is divination, Holy Smite is shock at sorcery speed, Mind Blast is technically lava axe, for 20% of the cost. Vanish is evacuation, Mind Control...

    Sets (AFR) Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Previews- Dripping with Flavor, and Excess Words!

    I was never going to be excited for the D&D set, but my overall feelings are still those of disappointment. The cards don't represent the world of D&D, it represents a game of D&D. Instead of portraying the fiction, the game pieces end up portraying other game pieces; you view Forgotten Realms...

    Sets (AFR) Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Previews- Dripping with Flavor, and Excess Words!

    D&D isn't a competitive game, it's a social experience. In roleplaying games, you use dice to resolve uncertainty because it helps drive the story in unexpected directions and create memorable experiences. The context is different. It does the same thing in Magic: the Gathering, but when you're...
