    General Draft Format Idea: Hatesealed

    Hatesealed? No no, this is Hatestart. Seriously though, I like the idea a lot. As to the collusion issue, randomize them or, hey, play with people who aren't going to be jerks (that is, who will all agree to be on roughly the same level of competitiveness and who care about competition more...

    Sets (AFR) Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Previews- Dripping with Flavor, and Excess Words!

    Yes. ...well, it would matter as a tag for Commander and for a spell being counted as Historic, but those are both edge cases (okay, one is a very large edge case). Kind of like the Tribal supertype, Legendary would be mostly decorative outside of these specific scenarios.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Sliversmith I would have thought there'd be more cards the Daredevil could go infin-ish with, but I think this is it. Still probably costs too much, but I think it could work without too much trouble in a cube that's both heavy on artifacts and discard. Could do work with Desecrated Tomb, but...

    General Actual contest: Design a 360 card cube with 100 unique cards

    Yeah, of course not--if I'm being honest, it's mostly to help me keep track of what I'm doing. Thanks!

    General Actual contest: Design a 360 card cube with 100 unique cards

    @Modin Oh, yeah, it's super restrictive. What I'm doing for lands is like 32 Terramorphic Expanses or something and calling it a day. @Jason Waddell Are we allowed purely aesthetic customs? Because we have so many cards in multiples, I'd like to signify how many of each card there is in the...

    Site News Contest - You make the 'haha' reaction

    You are <3 In actuality, "pog" is derived from the English "Play Of (the) Game," and grew to popularity with the video game Overwatch (2016). In this game, after each match the players are treated to a ~10 second clip of what was algorithmically determined to be the best play of the game from...

    Makes sense, thanks! I'd wondered if they were initials for a certain kind of train. I also like trains, though certainly not with the expertise you have--it''s a much more abstract appreciation. They're a beautiful part of history and commerce, that's for dang sure.

    So....uh.... I dunno how you'll feel about this one. However, I'd wanted to ask--why TrainmasterGT? What's that got to do with anything? And I figured I'd better bring an offering.

    Sets (MH2) Modern Horizons 2 Previews

    Heart eyes emoji. While not being able to cast it as a topdeck stinks, I like that this isn't a bajillion dollars. Plus, two upkeeps is not all that long of a time, and 2 is a lot less than 4. I will probably test this, especially if I cave to adding some cascade in. This + the red 2-drop...

    Did they "leak," or are they just using these tantalizing tidbits to draft cube designers for their cube designer cube? Are you really as innocent as you seem, Jason, or are you part of this dastardly scheme yourself??

    The more I read up on Balduvian Trading Post the more convinced I am that it's some incredibly elaborate April Fool's Day joke by you all. Has it been scoured from the internet? I can find a couple of saved records of it on waybackmachine, but both of them redirect...right back here. ... Or...

    General What is "higher power level"?

    Modern is a higher-powered format than Standard because the average Modern deck will dunk on the average Standard deck. The problem with extending this analogy is that while Vintage/Legacy may be higher-powered than Modern, there's not always the same lopsidedness in matchups between decks of...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Sorry, I kind of mixed the sarcasm with the serious--I genuinely like these sorts of staxy enchantments that can backfire horribly. Of course, this doesn't make you sacrifice anything, but I like the minigames that come along with rearranging the importance of various cards, like how this would...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Gotta make it cost BRUWGG to make it as close to BRU(SH)W(A)GG as possible, otherwise a fine card. Genuinely, I kind of like this design space as an interesting expansion of tribal decks! Sure, Brushwaggs don't exactly need the support for Legacy/Vintage, but another, smaller tribe like...

    General Actual contest: Design a 360 card cube with 100 unique cards

    Excuse me, the word is quadringlton which is followed by quingleton. /s I'd probably structure it similarly to a retail draft format--20 singleton rares, 20 uncommons in triplicate, 49 commons at quingleton and then literally 35 copies of Evolving Wilds with the ETB tapped crossed out or...

    Agreed with all three of the above posts. Possible candidates for good reactions: --Kenrith, the Returned King for posts that go the extra mile/are majestic in some way. Don't like it being so gendered, but that's Magic for ya. --The cat on the left in the Secret Lair version of Leonin...
