    Troll, I still haven't had the time to finish reading Grim Flayer. Lotleth Troll is good if you have discard synergies, but it's low power otherwise. Grim Flayer is generically good by itself, awesome in an aggro/graveyard deck, but has a sort of a messy execution. The choice will depend on...

    I meant copying your artifact and an opponent's creature. The biggest problem I see in Artistry is that there needs to be an artifact on the table, or it's an overpriced clone. I'm not saying the card will make ripples in standard or anything, just that it's playable if you put some artifacts...

    If you provide the right artifact yourself, Artistry can be consistently a ton of value. So, see if I'm wrong: 0. Precursor Golem + its 2 tokens on the table. 1. Cast Artistry, both modes target Precursor Golem. Stack is Artistry. 2. Precursor Golem's ability copies Artistry for each of the 2...

    I think it's clear that, since we are all picking fixing highly, the AI is trained to pick fixing highly, so everyone is having to pick fixing highly. The fixing count really does need to go up. Hopefully the recent doubling on shocks has helped that. Maybe Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury for...

    General Eldrazi Domain CubeTutor decks

    First, the cube's idea is really cool and I just spent 4h looking at it and finding a lot of intricate interactions and overlaps, with a bunch of cards I didn't know (!) and actually work here. I have a lot of comments about aspects that need tuning, and I hope that doesn't sound too negative -...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I run Enslave, it's good in slow environments. The life loss is not negligible. Never tried Ritual of the Machine, but I imagine the non-black non-artifact clause + sacrifice being an additional cost makes it kind of bad. Both have neat artwork.

    General MTGO You Make The Cube

    It's very likely that a non-powermax cube will be selected. I think things like Eldrazi Domain are the best shot.

    Oh man, Subterranean Tremors is so damn cool and flavorful. I was ecstatic with Volatile Chimera, but then I realized you can activate the ability until it's the creature you want. Would be cooler if you didn't have control, for example removing "then gains this ability", or making it happen...

    General Midrange vs Combo Cubes

    Theorycrafting about cube design is awesome, and I think it's always interesting to read different opinions. There is a big merit in this article, which is realizing that cube environments are on a spectrum which strongly affects card evaluation, rendering statements like "I wouldn't run this...

    Card/Deck How to execute a minimalist Enchantment theme

    Luminarch Ascension is a better card, but it doesn't spawn the archetype, or even help it much. It's a control finisher. My point is, Sigil of the Empty Throne is the only card that actually makes drafting a deck full of enchantments worth it for me. I'm not going to draft 9 enchantments to...

    Card/Deck How to execute a minimalist Enchantment theme

    In my experience, Sigil of the Empty Throne, however poisonous, is the real payoff card that makes drafting the deck worth it.
