As always mister submarine is much more eloquent than me with words.

I knew I was going to get a lot of flack, which is fine. First off, I do support artists. However, I am surprised by the blind following of rules without questioning whether these rules are good/consistent. A programmer gets paid exactly once for the code written (unlike the company that...

I am exactly in the opposite camp. When one follows your argument you have not only to pay the artist, but the artist in turn has to pay everyone who taught him/her/it. Similarly, mobile phone technology/WiFi/and so on is based on mathematics. Do you pay the ones who made the math to make it...

Well, I do not like survival of the fittest type of cards and rebels, since they upsearch/are really repetitive. The best play sequence is either search for a searcher with higher cmc or for an answer. Your draw step becomes I hope to find a land and not a cheap search rebel. Compare it with the...

Rebels are a nogogo. Simply put, they are repetitive and boring since you can search them scalingly. It seems fun, but playing and playing against it does not feel fun (from a person who thinks stacks and so on is fair as long as it is not repetitive).

In my urza block cube slow motion becomes: Pay 2 every turn. If you do not, you sacrifice this creature and your remaining best creature receives this tax from next turn on. Slow motions power is primarily that it inevitable. Why it is palatable is that often players end up with more than 5...

If you do not want 12 you could add mirari’s wake type of cards. Those play nicely with ramp. Add a palinchron and a mana sink and you have another combo part I hear you on having accidental combo. It is non-parasitic, players can surprise you with a combo which you did not know of and so on.

I rather play agains overwhelming splendor than any big beast/finisher of a huge mana cost. At least splendor gives an out and some time to find it. Note that splendor does absolutely nothing if you remove it timely as opposed to most other big mana cost cards these days

Yes, in aggro against a deck with bigger creatures, in non-aggro to slow aggro down, in a deck which adds +1/+1 counters, in a deck with living weapon, and finally with opalescence if you want to blow your brain edit : seriously, I love that card Oh I read Humility

What about slow motion Ghost prison They are probably much stronger since each player caps at 5 mana?

You have valid points but I think it is possible by including cards that forces creatures to attack, cards that make an opponent lose life, poison/infect, enough destroy, and last but not least alternate wins.

Well, one should learn the power of removal. Otherwise that player folds due to an utility creature. What if we made that you get to choose an emblem, but that that emblem holds for both? Or you can choose whether the emblem holds for the opponent or yourself? That opens up a whole different...

Transcendence and start at 0 life is still deal 20 damage/life loss right? So not useful I guess? Burn spells are not oops I win. Worship emblem makes life loss more valuable, and one needs more destroy. Worship in play however give games more tension. Can the opponent remove mine? Note that...

Is transcendence not the same as unlife? Life gain becomes oops I win… how about Worship |usg this changes the rules but has not the oops I win factor. plus starting with transcendence makes for really quick games…. Read, turn 0

Yes, but I cheat with my urza block cube. Those sets are in cube, contrary to constructed, quite slow due to having weak creatures.

The point I tried to make is that in a topdeck mode I rather have a 1/1 which filters me than a land. Yes, it is vulnerable, but destroy is not cheap. If the opponent is destroying my land I am quite happy.

I like emergent. It makes the land a creature which makes it a better card than rampant in my book. Rampant growth is a real bad topdeck, emergent slightly less bad. I cannot see your cube but I do not know edge is better than growth in your cube. Either they do the same, or one is sacrifice a...

The dream with rielle is a wheel for 7 and then you get 7 additional cards. Eruth does the same and more. Rielle needs a card to go off, eruth is the card that makes you go off by making your draw one draw two. In most scenario’s erith is stronger, especially in storm (unless you need a...

Isn’t razorfin hunter and the likes a better fit for call of the death-dweller? doing damage only once and being a roadblock is maybe a tad to fragile?
