S-tier card name. Five stars. 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I've been tinkering with another one of these concepts, looking for a mono-red Forgetful Fish-like experience. I'm calling this one "Bird by Bird." Firewing PhoenixBloodfeather PhoenixFlamewake Phoenix This one leverages the shared graveyard (similar to the Ovalchase Daredevil design from...

The card in my particular cube that suffers from this problem is Blast-Furnace Hellkite. I can either get a retro-frame version (which would be the only retro-frame card in the cube) or I can get a modern-frame version with no reminder text for fucking "Artifact Offering," an ability that...

Just on the general subject of Ravnica mechanics: I keep expecting the "watermarks matter" mechanics from Unstable to reappear in a Ravnica set.

This is objectively correct. I just think it would be fun for Boros to have a multiformat all-star that catches a ban after 8 months on the scene. If I were to put this Angel through development, I'd turn the following knobs in this order: -Give the ability a "once per turn" clause. -Make the...

Oops, lol. Yes, this should definitely have a non-token clause. That's the function I imagined for the card.

This is a really fun design prompt! I'm taking a swing at my favorite guild: Boros. These guys have an interesting record with guild mechanics. Radiance sucked bad (maybe it was good in limited? I didn't play draft at that time), Battalion was cool, Mentor was somewhere in the middle. The guild...

Disturb definitely doesn't have many truly powerful cards. I include a few of them in my Peasant cube, where the mechanic has enough breathing room to really shine. As for Cursing yourself, I think it's something Black mana users would do often, especially if they thought it was a good way to...

I've been wanting to post this card since forever and just finally got around to it. Made with MSE rather than CardConjurer, so the fidelity is not very high, I'm afraid.

Curating an artifact-heavy cube has been like drinking from a firehose this year. I'm collecting the cards to put my pet project at the 720 level, and after that I need a break! Between the transforming Sagas from Kamigawa and the Role tokens from Eldraine, they seem to be carving out some cool...

Novice Inspector is a big flavor upgrade on Thraben Inspector, in my opinion. Gleaming Geardrake will probably replace Enthusiastic Mechanaut in my cube. Very excited to see if there will be new Gruul and Selesnya cards playing in this space. Would love to see something like: Hostile Witness -...

Now that Ixalan 2: Subterranean Looky-Loo has arrived, I'm thinking about how much I love dinosaurs. Belligerent YearlingEarthshaker DreadmawRaging Swordtooth I think there are now enough playable uncommon and common dinos that I could add a kindred package to my Peasant cube without messing...

We're entering the part of the year where my family asks if there's anything I want for Xmas, and I have to come up with something normal to say instead of "1,000 Dragon Shield Matte sleeves please!" Or like "pre-orders for old-border Shocklands, please!" Instead I'm like: "I need a new hat."...

Just want to shout out a family of creatures I think are actually really good and cool from this era: Shivan Wurm Cavern Harpy Lava Zombie Sawtooth Loon Fleetfoot Panther There are more of these, like Doomsday Specter, and I've always been a big fan. Their bodies are above rate (especially for...

There are already a lot of great suggestions in this thread, so I'm just going to mention something I decided to do while working on a similar project: include a (very small) number of modern cards that appear with the old-border treatment. I put 4 copies of Terramorphic Expanse and 4 copies of...

This is a crazy coincidence, because I've been working on a 180-card retro nostalgia cube heavily based in the Invasion Block with some Onslaught, Odyssey, and contemporary core set cards included. I'll post my list as soon as I can get CubeCobra to load it. There's some kind of glitch making...

This set is going to allow me to make the jump to 720, which I was not expecting to do for another year or so. Explore has always been one of Green's key mechanics in my environment, and tying that to a trinket artifact with Map tokens goes beyond "chef's kiss" territory into a full-blown...

Dragon's Rage Channeler A really creative, flexible one-drop that stays relevant and rewards deckbuilding choices. Urborg Lhurgoyf A creature with cool bonus options whose "base" mode isn't totally awful. So many old Kicker creatures were just Gray Ogres who also made your opponent discard a...
