I think that the Opportunist is, weirdly enough, the stronger card even if only because it's a 1/3. If you want to gain this sort of incremental advantage, you want to draw the game out as long as possible, and a 3/2 just doesn't block for beans.

2k is a little too hard for me to swing, so I'll bow out. But it's a sweet collection, no two ways about it, and a screaming good deal to boot.

I'll buck the trend and go with Mox Ruby, if only because Red is likely to have heavier artifact themes. Again, it depends a lot on the context of the cube--if it's synergy-driven, Ruby, assuming that we don't have Kethis, the Hidden Hand loops. If it's power-driven, then yeah, I think that Jet...

Timely case in point of Hollywood trying to have their cake and eat it too.

Oh, the art is garbage, no two ways about it. But it's iconically trashy like Frank Frazetta's stuff, and fantasy art owes a huge amount to that style. To me, it's a reminder of an era in art that no longer exists (for a good reason), and it does so in a way that mostly avoids its worst...

I will fight for this art--mono-W Soldiers was my first 'serious' kitchen table deck. But yeah, the tribal element is probably good to pass on unless it's either a) humans or b) entirely incidental to the card itself. Regardless, it's time for this card to go, if only to cut down on tokens...

Captain of the Watch Angel of Invention Obviously the Angel is a lot stronger, but I'm really wondering which will make for a more interesting game. Assume that there are a decent number of soldiers (about a third of the rest of my White creatures, things like Thraben Inspector, Militia...

What's on your watchlist? Right now I'm seeing the following as outliers at common: Vault Skirge This card is consistently better than it looks, especially with so few good 1-drops. Arcum's Astrolabe can be disgusting in enabling you to make a deck with all your best cards, and drawing a card...

Monk Class Join me! I haven't had a chance to test this card out, so take this with a grain of salt, but if your decks can stomach taking a turn off and if you run cantrips than I think it's worth a shot. Being able to cast your cantrip for essentially free is big game (cantrip -> other spell...

Normally I'd agree with you, Ravnic, but I feel like the goblin actually scales a lot depending on whether or not your environment is full of 2/1s for 1 and on how many goblins you have. It always trades with a bear, and while it can be Rabblemaster for 2, it gets stonewalled by so much. It's...

Necrogoyf felt very medium in Jumpstart Horizons, so I think you're fine to test it. I would be very surprised if it breaks anything.

Yes! I run it and love it! It works really well for me. People tend to hold it longer than they should and not use the fork, but it's still there and has done work.

:texas: Yeah, I'm just snowing you here. I mean, I don't know for sure that I'm wrong, but c'mon.

Oh, for sure I don't think that there are going to be any in 2022. However, I think that DFCs are going to show up more often than in the past. Instead of just being an Innistrad thing, my sense is that they're going to be used every few years or so as evidenced by how liberally MDFCs were used...

Oh! That's actually a piece of D&D lore! Storm Giants don't believe in personal ownership of the land, so it's not theirs, just a hall they can be find in. Good catch, though, I didn't get that the first time! :btg:

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going absolutely bonkers because I feel like I see Concoction a fair bit. Sure, it definitely does the synergy thing, but it just gets outclassed by so many cards, even down to straight-up Murder, I think, that it felt like a really niche pickup.

Can someone explain to me why Sinister Concoction is good? Is it mostly considered good because Bone Shards has only been around for a little while? The cost seems prohibitively high for the effect (guaranteed 2-for-1, unlike, say, Spark Harvest or Baleful Mastery which can be 1-for-1s if you're...

I ran Velrun Velomachus Lorehold for a bit and yeah, he gets things done. However, seven mana is a lot and also more often than not he suffers from what I call Swole Lad Syndrome in that the 5/5 flying haste body is often far more relevant than anything else he brings to the table. I've switched...

Gorex, the Tombshell looks sweet! Like a much lower powered Ethereal Forager but with some nice resilience through the death trigger. I think this will replace Tombstalker for me as a flexible reanimation target that can also get hardcast when things line up.
