    No. That wasn’t. It was way before. Somewhere around original kamigawa. Time spiral/future sight are different. There were not many new keywords but many old ones and it was specifically made to be a blast from the past.

    Well, actually we are seeing much more new mechanics/keywords than before. We have to go a while back but look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_(Magic:_The_Gathering) and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravnica. Somewhere along the path they made the mistake of making many different...

    Hmm. Part of the power of mom is that it can stonewall. This one cannot block and is lacking the prevent damage part to be able to make another one a wall. This could be a good thing, but it is definitely weaker.

    White has had reanimation since the beginning.

    Even in your examples white does not pay life… there is a huge difference in making your opponent lose life and using your own life as a resource. Damage causes life loss so making an opponent lose life is not that much of a perversion of white in my book

    The zero evasion I do not mind. The zero this is what white does is irking me more. White does not pay life. Point. Even pherexia white. (White black okay but not single white). In a vacuum I do not mind but coming from the wreckage of the blue insect I do mind

    Wowzers, even if you target it you can hand a poison counter to an opponent! whip silk

    control magic variants are most of the times much better than creature removal. Yes, they are expensive. But so was most removal creature removal in those days.

    Although I like the Warcraft system. Doesn’t it mean that it is much easier to play manaexpensive cards? In the first turns you put them face down as a land, later on they become spells? In mtg mana expensive cards are much stronger than cheaper cards to offset there dead in the hand part. If...

    I do not agree that all colours should be able to answer all types of cards. When all colours can do everything it often becomes unnecessary to use colours at all. For me there should be weaknesses and strengths with certain play styles. Strength in one area should be compensated with...

    I think it is intentional that they are different types and that not all colours can answer them. Black could answer none, red artifacts, green enchantments (and later artifacts but expensive), blue could return them and white destroy them both. It has to do with strength and weaknesses of...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I do take slight offensive against this. Getting duressed should only be be official if the duressed card has a defensive like dodecapod Otherwise, a whenever you discard invalidates a complete archetype, which I think is sad. That said: why is there cycle and channel? Just make all channel...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Well, you are probably not playing the sphere on turn 2. Yes it is easier to have only 2 mana open. But remember, if you play it in instalments the opponent can react. I guess it depends on what you want. If your cycling enablers are powerful enough then choose the cycling one. If you have...

    Izzit? I know of many cards that trigger on cycling but not many that do on channel

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It depends. Is your cube slow or fast? How many targets does each one have? Recruitment is a very Durdly card advantage. It supports white aggro. Killer is a defensive card (which can be used to push a bit of damage through). Let’s put it this way: on turn one I rather have the recruitment. On a...

    I think both enchantments, are stronger bitterblossems. Therefore, they end the game more quickly after jokalhaups. The problem of jokalhaups cards is that if there is no breakage of symmetry it takes a long time. For me these enchantments are not stronger than the gargodon. They are however...

    Sorry, but how is a painting (an object) different than a wheel (an object)? Similarly, with performing arts. Why should we put ballet higher than a videogame? And from the videogame to a book, and from a book to a beautifully made children pushcart? How much I appreciate art, I sincerely...
