I personally think the Reclamation is totally fine. That three card loop is very unoffensive. If I were to change it up for your format ravnic, I might go with tortured existence which helps black enable madness and usually self-limits looping because you run out of fodder creatures in hand...

forgot Tormenting Voice ;)

I would rather play almost any wild guess variant than salvaging tbh. Fast // Furious has the same "the discard isn't a cost" thing going on, and the goto Thrill of Possibility is an instant (so is Fast actually).

I like it and ran it in my test decks when I was conceptualizing my new cube. Just didn't make the cut due to tight competition. I think it might run into problems getting drafted by others since it can end up leaning on synergies and there are cards like Courser of Kruphix that are more overtly...

this is the ultimate blessing and curse of the Crusher. I don't mind the card, just fits awkwardly into a lot of decks I work towards in my cube.

Unless you have other experiences with it, that seems nigh impossible to cast from my perspective.

There's that flashback raise dead that might work for you here: crawl from the cellar

yes, because they do two very different things. what style of card do you want? Is blue/whatever a beatdown deck where getting the fattest dummies on the table and using your spells to push the advantage is the priority? Is blue/whatever a recursive deck where you are trying to get as many...

Do you want a huge flying beater or do you want the slow and potentially fragile card advantage on a respectable flyer?

Not sure that is a bad thing? I put "off" color triomes into my drafts all the time. Grabbing the G/X Thriving for a UB control deck is basically the same as grabbing zagoth triome if you squint and don't think about it super hard. I've considered them before, but overall find the EWilds style...

In the immortal words of Elvis How I wish that there were more, than 24 hours in the day But even if there were 40 more, I wouldn't sleep a minute away

One of my outlets for video games these days is sifting through itch.io for a while finding a couple short indie game demos to check out. Nice way to experience unique concepts while only putting a couple hours in. I mostly don't buy new games these day.

Usually not all 27 power is alive by that time. To have all 9 soldiers survive in the manner described means the opponent is putting up zero fight and should have conceded. Often almost every soldier dies defending Elspeth or being killed by removal until the control deck draws a boardwipe, or...

IMO the Plaguelord. Fallen Angel is pretty one-dimensional (sac creatures to get thicc and crash in). Plaguelord even has the minigame of figuring out if you should sac the lord itself.

The scry 1 on green creature ETB (even tokens) is still hard to beat. Regarding creatures that reward going wide: anything with Coven, as it's looking for at least three different creatures before it activates. Also many of the suggestions from the KRM thread...

The concession doesn't mean she wins fast. just that the opponents give up fast. She takes a while to actually win if the opponent stays in the game.

Duskshell Crawler from among those two I suppose. My "green creature that puts +1 counters on things" of choice is contortionist troupe

I don't personally think that white needs an overtly powerful control wincon of it's own. It can team up with other colors for that. And that said you can bring in fun minigame wincons via approach of the second sun etc. The token spam from Elspeth is just not worth it IMO. Teferi's cool though.

quite slow. neat for recasting/re-ETB synergies I suppose but there are better options for that.

Mind Flayer, The Shadow doesn't have "Friends Forever(tm)"? What a ripoff
