The only thing I don't like about Death Spark is that it requires people to keep graveyards in order. Doesn't seem worth it.

I think the biggest challenge to make this work is the power level of the loner cards themselves is low. Only Magister of Worth and Demonic Rising seem good. Fettergeist, Demonic Taskmaster and Haunted Plate Mail don't really go in any other deck. If you run the others in a small cube, though, I...

Hellbent - Entomb instead. Being honest, I've never cast this card and have always though it was awful, but it probably plays better than it looks. Everyone will be scared of running it, since they've learned to respect Hymn to Tourach. Is that something for any red deck? If not, what decks...

I think he'd be much worse and still be in GRBS zone. Would be a nice design, though. Zombies pop out of his chest, fall on the ground, take a turn to get up and start walking towards you.

If the kill takes 7 cards to go off, I'm totally fine. It'll happen once with luck, and it'll be a good laugh. I think Exploration is being underrated. On the play you'll have 4 lands vs an opponent's 1 land, no need for any landfall shenanigans. If Exploration is too weak for you, try this...

That sounds quite easy to do in Python: Use the csv standard library to read/write from a spreadsheet (alternatively read an .xls or from Google Docs to maintain formatting, there's an API for that). Read the spreadsheet to an array of slots, where each slot is an array of card names.. import...

What? Maelstrom Wanderer is too elegant to be a commander card. Try: Creatures you control have haste. Cascade, cascade. Creature spells you cast from your hand have cascade. URG: Return Maelstrom Wanderer to its owner's hand. Then cascade, why not.

Note that Homelands has just 115 cards, and some of these are REALLY bad: Aysen Highway Samite Alchemist Mammoth Harness Koskun Keep Joven's Tools Winter Sky Onderzeeboot already showed you all that's usable in the set. Oh, except for this, I guess: Eron the Relentless Ihsan's Shade Thank...

I really wish they'd done this change in the first set. Planning in advance to errata dozens of cards within 3 months is ugly.

That used to be the case, until like 2003. But now most constructed-playable cards are rares or mythics. Boosters are really now draft packs with one slot for a card. Ok, this is a bit of an exaggeration, there are a couple of playable commons and uncommons. They are usually utility - removal...

Is Mox Diamond considered power? Nice idea, though - in what other decks does Academy Ruins go?

Well, this is the thread asking Wizards to print a card - 1B wish in constructed would be insane. Besides, wishing for sideboard is not necessarily worse than wishing for library - it lets you grab narrow cards.

The wishes are near misses in cube. Maybe a bit of versatility and making a version that works with current rules would be good? Satanic Tutor - 3B Sorcery Choose one: Search your sideboard for a card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Exile Satanic Tutor. Put target face-up exiled card...

Goes very well with Pyroclasm, Wildfire, Molten Vortex, Crater Hellion, pretty much any burn spell/ability. I found no references to this in riplab: Acidic Soil I like how it gives an out to aggro, punishes ramp and creates tension on a decision that is usually automatic - dropping lands. It...

Few cards win games by themselves like Swans. No card loses games by themselves as Swans. It's a great WR and UR card, can be used effectively as sideboard, and eats removal very, very often. Most interesting W/U hybrid, easily.

I've tried that before, but those decks felt artificial and since they relied on very specific interactions, weren't really valuable for balancing purposes. They reminded me why I hated casual constructed - too many 10/90 and 90/10 matchups.

How good is Hermit outside of graveyard decks?
