    General Good cards you don't run because they are ugly

    I prefer the new art, actually, but old frame wins every time for me.

    I think it's Trainmaster's new(?) cube.

    General Modern Horizons

    I like that Seasoned Pyromancer has no sneaky "if you do" so it's a divination and 2/2 if you cast it when hellbent.

    General Fight Club

    Funnily enough, I asked this exact question last year. Here's the discussion: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/fight-club.560/page-122#post-75295 I've been using Oversold Cemetery and have been happy with it. It does threaten to overwhelm your opponent in some matchups, particularly with...

    General The Draft Exchange

    You might be thinking of Crusade, Glorious Anthem pumps all your creatures. The double white cost might be difficult in a 3 colour deck, though.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    You could have the signet choice be a hierarchy rather than a roll-off. ie Signet Choice 1 is going to be a higher pick than Signet Choice 4, and you don't get the scenario of randomly missing out on the signet you wanted because of losing a roll, whereas if you pick a low signet choice card...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Ashiok is kind of an interesting one because its effect on the game tends to be all or nothing - either it will win the game or have almost no impact at all. When you can protect them and get 4-5 full activations off then yes, it is a legitimate win condition, but I've also had situations where...

    Only Xathrid Necromancer and I guess Lili the Last Hope, but I wouldn't count her.

    General Fight Club

    New Zombies: Lazotep Reaver vs Vizier of the Scorpion Is giving all zombie tokens death touch worth an extra point of mana and one less toughness? Is a potentially repeatable 1/1 deathtouch too annoying to fight through? Is 1B for a 1/1 and a 1/2 too low impact? This is on the assumption...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    LSV said something interesting about the planeswalkers on the Limited Resources first impressions show: many of the walkers, especially at uncommon, have abilities that let your opponent cast their cards but then the cards don't work. Narset and The Wanderer are the two main culprits I can...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I've been running for a bit, with some other artifact aggro cards, and it's been pretty good. The existence of Hangarback Walker and Walking Ballista go a long way to making it playable. Obviously you still need to have a bunch of artifacts for it to do anything. For the EDH vs D&D argument...

    Because Chandra and Jaya are best buds and their full potential can only be unlocked via the power of friendship.

    General Gifts Archetypes

    Any thoughts on Deliver Unto Evil as another semi-gifts? Would having this card indicate that you definitely have Bolas somewhere in your cube to drafters?

    Aston's Cube

    Two cube drafts yesterday, my friend's pauper cube and then my cube. Here's a couple of decks (from memory, the orzhov deck is a couple of cards short) Ones 1 Booster Tutor 1 Duress Twos 1 Impassioned Orator 1 Vampire Interloper 1 Kami of Ancient Law 1 Rakdos Signet 1 Orzhov Signet 1 Grim...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    For some reason when I first saw Dreadhorde Arcanist I thought it was a 3 drop. I'm much more interested now.

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    A couple of general thoughts about the set:- - Having an Army mechanic that makes one big creature instead of lots of little ones is very strange - This seems like the perfect set for Afflict as it both fits into the lore, and creates actual decisions when a lot of the time you'll be blocking...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    What's with that new wording? To prevent you from having to reveal the card? It seems a bit convoluted.

    Does it have to be any permanent? Crystal Shard or Erratic Portal might be options otherwise.
