Damn, reading is hard :p

Yeah the flashback and blocking immediately are the real icing, so it'll fit into my mental note decks pretty well. I would argue that the mana does not matter as much (it does for holding up counterspells though), since unless you have some combo going down you likely will not cast this on 5...

Ah it was pithing needle as seen here with its secret lair. Also is slick if Rise from the tides was just a little bit too good for your Cube. IE: only for me

Eh, I'll probably run ominous roost since its not just flashback it also works with jump-start, the new disturb, retrace, aftermath, abandoned sarcophagus dreadhorde arcanist, and so on, burning vengeance wasn't quite worth it to play on its own. But this may make a new archetype in my cube. I...

Yeah, despite the Shadowrun jab, I still think these all sound pretty cool. Especially excited for the Brothers War and Unfinity. Kind of worried about Warhammer 40k, it has great lore, but I hope they don't try to replicate the mechanics of Warhammer in Magic. Just... stay in the lore please ;)

I think they did this because Topps wouldn't give them the rights to Shadowrun :p

I love Heartless Summoning Quest for Ula's Temple And couldn't run either for a long time, I've gotten around to making the Heartless Summoning archetype work in one of my Cubes by the drafters getting two when they pick it, but can't figure out Ula, it really needs a high density of cards that...

I think I "like" Chess, but I don't "love" Chess. The coolest moment for me was when I was helping teach out at my Church's family retreat (pre-Covid) for the children and one of my students asked me to play Chess, and I accidentally did the four moves win and then I realized, "oh no, I'm that...

Fortune's Favor Is a lot more mind-gamey, it's really fun, and players usually "get" it. I don't think it's that good, but it definitely creates some fun moments of "Oh I don't need any three of these cards, I'll take the face-down one... a land? Seriously?"

Thankfully while looking for the answer to the above question I was able to find this lovely site that has unofficial reimaginings of Unglued 2, Cutouts from Inquest and The Duelist magazines, cards from a bunch of different video games, and employee and commemorative cards without official...

After spending much too long researching, my conclusion is: likely not, but I know for certain it works with cards like Charming Prince since you choose when they enter the battlefield, not on the stack. And More or Less says “spells” not instant or sorcery. So for me I think I would house rule...

More or Less is the cheese whiz of janky fun crap that probably shouldn't be in your cube, but now that you have it you can't live without it. It bounces back and forth between my "Occassionals" and my includes because it's either 1. a 1 damage ping or preventer 2. a high tide if you have...

In low-powered I always prefer fanatical firebrand goblin arsonist that way if they whiff, they still ping the face, ashling the pilgrim is alright too and of course perilous myr sometimes I wish he was red oh wait careless celebrant almost lol

Just quoting this so people know I was tagged lol We have a lot more artifact glue, but I'll be damned if I don't add Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer Just turning all of your clue/food/treasure tokens into 2/1's at the beginning of combat is pretty good. @Zoss @Brad

I got you @Sheltem For now, I'm thinking of something janky and fun Lithoform Engine We have lots of triggers so it should work well Also paging @VincePendrell again

I've been loving bloodbraid marauder really screams GRAVEYARD SPELL SYNERGY, but probably not considered elegant (if you include the cascade rules text version it's basically the whole card :p)

ooooh I love the direction this is all going, we need a lot more artifacts and such, for now, I'm just going to put in Maelstrom Wanderer For the "low" chance of hitting the Ultimatums which might be a bit too scary, I also considered Maelstrom Colossus and Apex Devastator, but I guess "turbo"...

Currently I don't run any but that was because my players didn't like their Zacama, Primal Calamity getting Blackmailed.

Yeah it's a hard card to evaluate, the Ratchet Bomb example was more of something to compare it to, not something of "look at this it's the exact same!" Which obviously it isn't :p It's a ritual of soot that hits planeswalkers with the added benefit of exiling graveyards, but the added cost of...

To me it’s pretty comparable to a black ratchet bomb it will likely kill the higher cost stuff “faster” than ratchet bomb too, it clears all those pesky tokens, AND it clears the gravecrawlers. I think that this card is way better than it looks. If you have a lot of artifact removal in your cube...
