    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Sun standard is somewhere between Gerrard's Battle Cry and Mirror Entity in power; Battle Cry might be slightly better than a Glorious Anthem but worse than an anthem creature. These sorts of effects feel more tolerable in limited to me when removal is plentiful and of good quality. And when...

    Been working on set-inspired grids and just brainstormed a BFZ grid: "allies v. eldrazi". Does riplab have a mental health thread?

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Think Penny Pincher cubes, not Sharzad cubes. Is a 4/3 flyer for 3 so terrible on turn 5 when you can replay the land and interact at instant speed (with a counter)? What if you can rebuy scry Temples or Zendispell lands; still terrible?

    The flip side is that Revoke Existence and Shatter effects will probably be mid picks like in Scars.

    Sea Drake Over the past 4 years, this card has dropped from ~$40 to ~$5. Does anyone have exciting experience with this Eternal roleplayer of years past? There is some tension with RAV block bouncelands. It can trigger landfall a few more times. While being a quick clock in the air, it's...

    Solid reasoning. They will most likely use a bird's eye view to flag contenders and then the wotc sadness magic will kick in to "balance" the finalists. I was most concerned with my duplicate and triplicate choices, but who knows how wizards' lens will see into that tinted box. Did you write a...

    Did this set start as a Decipher product? I'm old and bored.

    Also consider how decks played out for many years. A lot of slower decks focused on one-for-ones with slower card advantage machines to get ahead. Faster decks had pretty low avg mana costs. Bounce is best when the velocity of a game leads the returned spell to not have a 'free' window of...

    Phonestoners can keep their washed-up deities. Grenzo's second ability is interesting enough. Sure, s/he/it won't always find another aggro creature or a burn spell to aid 2-drop-creature-red's focus, but wishing off the oppo's deck for a few cards in Limited will most likely result in something...

    DYK safra is relatively secretly building a cube with 30 bounce lands. Girl gone cray cray or supervillian vixen supreme? #reddittech

    Some interesting things about the 540-card MTGO vintage cube: 69 lands 71 "colorless" artifacts (included phyrexian mana here) 201 creatures (didn't include any token-makers or creature lands) Appears to have 51 multicolored cards (i didn't actually count them all) and ~70 of each color...

    Compare and contrast with the midwestern palette cube so the judges will understand that your cube is about more than butter, flour, lard and salt. Also, wotc employees like eating food with butter, flour, lard and salt. #HeartAttackOnZendikar

    Rubblehulk is hot garbage. Thicket Elemental is the hotness. That Thick oath didn't even mill away all of the important one-of basics.

    I am on a xcc kick; removal spells with 2 of the same color of mana are my new jam. It helps if they are kind of expensive too. Unexpectedly Absent Bolt of Keranos Oubliette Isolation Zone Confiscate Removal has been most enjoyable when it is defined by the threats it can't answer and the...

    No reservations on my end; go forth and design! Glad to see the idea grow. If you stick with Cloudpost package, living weapon equips with their high equip costs should fit in nicely.
