Anyone played Garbage Fire? I'm looking for burn spells relevant in a format with unusually tough creatures, and on paper Garbage fire seems like it would scale with whatever format its in, which I find interesting. And I really like the 3 cmc instantness of it. Vaguely related: Should powered...

I'm looking for green or white (or colorless) cards that you would put in a deck full of vigilance creatures. It's for a retail-level +1/+1 counter archetype, but what Is interesting with vigilance?

pithing needle, sorcerous spyglass, phyrexian revoker, and null rod stop equipment and crystal shard in a manner of speaking.

If deck wins were some fraction of player wins (1/2, 3/4) then play would always be more important than decks in your scenario of concern.

1. I am filled with emotional anguish that the fetchlands don't etb untapped and fetch a tapped typed land, cause then you wouldn't get double dinged for grabbing tapped typed land. 2 I don't play modern, but I was under the impression that it was a robust format with fair selection of tier 1...

I agree that Karsten's number are conservative. For instance, I successfully run three color decks in limited with fewer sources then his article suggests, both since I have multiple cards in hand and can play one if I can't play the other, and also because I don't expect to draw all my cards on...

I have another undeveloped concept called the fast cube. The idea is to shave about 2 turns off the average game, but still have good balance between agro, control, and synergy driven decks. Part of this includes shifting and /or compressing the Mana curve by 1. Does having the whole cube be...

Cards with more than one Mana cost, such as split cards, kicker, monstrosity, etc help with flooding. Also cheap permanents with activated abilities, flashback cards, etc. Off-color kickers or split cards allow splashing with low risk. An across-the-board discard theme allows pitching lands...

Are there some specific plays you would call out? Most of his play seemed fine to me.

I'd like to review the ten archetypes in Khans of Tarkir, since Vakeztan has some similarities to it, and I also quite liked Khans of Tarkir. The first five archetypes were the wedges, and were largely informed by a keyword mechanic: WGB: Raid URG: Ferocious BGW : Outlast RWU: Prowess GUB...

Velrun and Aston both make valid points that counterplay to Wolf Run can exist if you add it sufficiently to your cube, and that Wolf Run requires some situational set-up. For the record, I still essentially dislike the card. Some alternatives I like are Savageborn Hydra, Mina and Denn...

Thanks! I really appreciate this. I have also assembled a paper copy of the cube, and played it once. I'd like to reply to the points you brought up. Format is low complexity; i.e core set. Yes-ish? The basic themes are low complexity; core-set like. The cards themselves I think have the...

I strongly dislike Kessig Wolf Run as it is a win condition that is very difficult for the opponent to interact with. I dislike lands as win conditions in general, and consider it a fundamental mistake by wizards.

a: Having too many archetypes means that each archetype may not have enough available cards, hurting all of the archetypes and also disproportionately hurting synergy-based archetypes, throwing off game balance. The environment is also filled with cards no one wants if they are too specific to...

This is the four color/player cube: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/106096 I am not a cubetutor champion, so it isn't set up quite correctly. The rares are dealt separately, they are currently in the sideboard section. You must manually change number of bots to 3. The goal is to create a...

I don't believe the card "Graceful Falconer" technically does anything as worded, because of the layers system. "Creatures with power greater than their base power have flying." Edit: maybe it does? The layer where you check if a creature has flying is before the layer where you determine a...

I like how the old frames look like a physical tablet, and dislike how the newest frames are clearly nothing but a graphic design.

If you support horseshoe crabs it could be interesting. I like Fate Unraveler
