    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think the reason is that Wizards can't devote the time or resources to creating a good cube. I've been working on mine for close to ten years and unfortunately they don't have the luxury of that much time on one project.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    All the people I know who like cube the most, including myself, are super spikey. I think the reason that cube is not seen at high level events is because it has practical difficulties in running it, it doesn't make for good viewing as people are going to be less familiar with the cards and...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I should have said but I was thinking of it in the context of Young Pyromancer (x2) and Cabal Therapy (which I'm thinking about doubling up on). It's obviously good with those cards, but when you don't have that supporting suite I wasn't sure if it'd just be a do-nothing. Worth a test at least.

    Gitaxian Probe How good is this in high power lists? Low power lists? The effect seems relatively minor but on the other hand it's banned or restricted almost everywhere, it must be a bit good.

    Is Antonidas supposed to trigger off his own spells?

    I agree it's awesome, that's why I want to make it work!

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    This is a cool idea although you might run into some problems (I'm thinking Brainstorm specifically) and it doesn't strictly work within the rules of the game but that doesn't matter too much if it's just for your own group. I wonder if you could achieve a similar thing with Emblems that...

    I've played a bit of it, I'm a big fan of Dominion. What's your username? Hit me up in Discord if you want to play.

    Meddling Mage Grid vLWPWR session #1

    How many Cabal Therapy do you run? I've been thinking about adding a second. although I don't run Peek/Gitaxian Probe and I'd say my list is a fair bit higher powered. I've had Hymn to Tourach in that spot but that can lead to some depressing games.

    I suspect it's because Courser especially slowed down games as players wrote down every card that was revealed. There are also issues with what happens if someone forgets to reveal, and drawing multiples isn't that intuitive either as you said. It definitely seems like a cool card though...

    I had the same reaction but on considering it, this feels like a card that is only good when you're already winning. If you're not ahead when you play this, your creatures probably aren't tapping to attack, and I don't think a green deck with mana dorks really wants this. Maybe it's good with...

    The most recent "expansion" to Dominion was a patch to the first two expansions, which kind of shows how they haven't aged all that well. I think 5 cards from each have been replaced with similar but better designed versions.

    Big Money might not be all that interesting but it's kind of necessary. It means there's always a baseline route to victory and your goal is to outrace/disrupt it. The slog decks aren't necessarily failed combo decks. One example is Gardens with I think Beggar, which gives you Coppers when...

    I guess one way to reduce Gideon, Ally of Zendikar's standard dominance is to add another Gideon that competes with him? Although it's not clear whether this just makes AoZ even better.

    I'm basing it mostly on this dominon strategy article https://dominionstrategy.com/2013/01/21/the-five-fundamental-deck-types-introduction/ Depending on how wide your definition of "engine" is, you could describe decks that fit into some of the other categories as engine decks as well -...
