    True. But you can stack equipment as opposed to vehicles. This implies that one can play more equipment than vehicles.

    It is maybe a design mistake for a curse, but for a card is it that much of a mistake? It opens up beautiful play patterns. The curse as is is playable in a red control deck which does not attack. Maybe change the name to buried in gold and avoid the curse name in the type?

    If all your targets are three mana creatures then yes there is a lot of trinket text. Still, returning multiple creatures is really different. Let alone the entering tapped, that sucks really hard. The tapped clause after victimising lost me the game around half of the times (and yes it was the...

    Yes, as big as a disenchant with cycling. Unearth either has to broaden it's scope, e.g., add artifact, or it needs to be recyclable, e.g. cycling. In my low powered cube, it is the cycling which saves it. Edit : or sidestep it with more options like artifact /enchantments.

    Why should they be mechanically identical? You want that silly ip cards should be like og mtg cards. Does it really matter that in corner cases like contested cliffs that the card gets stronger? If it should be a beast in proper magic, a beast it is. Similarly, a construct. You want to use the...

    Returning one creature versus multiple is not something that should be swept under the rug (let alone with bonus counters). Unearth is only one return, your examples are multiple return. Something with apples and pears. I am known for playing low powered. I think returning one creature with cmc...

    Why did they not color shift the og? Cycling does not hurt a very situational card at all.

    It is much less activations than you think. After casting it you u tap the land used to cast it: 1 counter. Next turn activate 1: 2 Untap 2 lands and clock: 5 Activate 2: 10 Untap:13 Activate 3: 26 Untap: 29 Activate 4: 58 Untap: 61 Activate 5: 122 Untap: 125 Acivate 6: 250 Untap : 253 Activate...

    Gollum requires a choice everytime. The ability is semi-grokable. But each time the owner gets to shuffle the top two card. The opponent has to make a choice on the outcome they want. And then guess correctly. This takes up quite some time. Cards to avoid are the ones which are most of the...

    Gollum is not a good example. It is all gravy from the casters side. Look at it from the opponents side. Either the opponent guessed correctly and they cannot kill it through combat since gollom evades that. Or they failed to guess it and they cannot block it... It is a prime example of what...

    That's why I put the madness example up there. Madness did not require rares during torment. Your example is one where rarity matters power wise is already going on.

    And that is just where the stuff breaks down. You can either: 1) have a game for the game. 2) try to mix a game with nft (non-fungable token). I follow 1). Which implies no pay to win. And hence the power should not come from rares. You cannot have both: excitement for (artificial scarcity)...

    Me neither. My mind goes from a to z to d to n to e and to a again to h in split seconds. Sometimes I need to take a few minutes and gather my thoughts. What if I put it like this when I put the changes and their reasons why in perspective: 1) they change things (for good or bad) 2) reasons...

    I tried to ignore all the things going on: Some rightfully called bullshit. But then all those "reasons" pop up. It is a replay of all the changes before. Most of the changes have been money grabs and not improvements for the game. I have been around a long time. My take away of it all is: We...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Recurring a 2/2 (without a silly etb) is almost never worth it.

    Yes, but I would suggest a pile of cards. Either at the start of the draft/deck building/game a card from the pile is revealed. That way weird interactions will arise. Makes building the cube much harder than just one card though.

    Why cap it? I play low powered. But a work for it to be big without any evasion is fair in my book.

    As a parent myself: how funny is it for non-parents? Yes, I can be sarcastic, but honestly, it is only funny once to bring iron-on beads as counters/tokens. Is it mtg? Nope. As I said before, I love the idea of un(whatever). But is only funny when everyone comes unprepared. Otherwise it is just...

    Be my guest, but do not expect extras. That's just lame. Use anything you can as counters, but do not make a game out of it to bring as many different things that can be a counter with you and break the card.

    Well, skip the unique and sticker part and I agree. As it is, mwah.
