    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I like oust. Even with non-ETB creatures, there's only going to be (presumably) one in the entire cube, and the opponent does get a second chance later. I think Oust actually becomes more attractive for an environment with less ETB and more non-ETB, since otherwise the opponent gets a chance at...

    Honestly I'm not a big fan of any Shock printing except for the Archive one, which is badass. Very cool comic-book-like cell shading style. Very dramatic lighting and composition. (Very) I don't dislike the border. Very "art-nouveau-esque". Very good. If I was forced to choose one from amongst...

    dark mode would be awesome! I use it wherever it's available. I would also request that the "default" font be the current font. Serif fonts are more readable, especially at small sizes and in tight packed paragraphs.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've run it in Sigh, a cube for a long time, and it's a very effective card. It almost pays for it's own flashback since the birds are white and untapped, so you really only need one pre-existing creature if you want to fire both halves off in the same turn. Flying tokens are a real beating!

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I like Reality Scramble the best of any of the above options, both because retrace is a very fun style of recursion, and because it's the only among them that can target any permanent and get that kind of permanent back. Target a treasure token -> get your Combustible Gearhulk. Target a...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Shuko is not worth it IMO. Bonesplitter is not overpowered by any means, and offers a much more effective buff. Leering Emblem is definitely more interesting. It does proc off any spell, not just instants/sorceries, so cheap creatures etc. also help buff it. Combo-kill potential with Kor...

    I get that mana dorks are useful creatures, but "you need 8 mana dorks before you should consider these non-mana dorks" without any discussion on archetypes until prompted later is just.... Reductive to the conversation Eric was looking to have, if anything, and almost certainly reductive to...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    when were we specifically at a power level that can support 1 cmc mana dorks? Eric is specifically looking for not dorks. And you can definitely play non-mana-dork 1 cmc creatures at high power level what? Too much mana ramp at any power level can just collapse your green section into...

    amen to that. gold cards have gotten miles worse to read here on RTL thanks to the random ones that are now that horrid wavy unreadable mess.

    General Fair Entomb

    Yeah, if we are entombing a Gravecrawler and being happy with that, we are at {any card that has a reasonable impact from the GY}, so something like think twice is underwhelming, but pretty much anything above that could be considered. If these suggestions are anything to go off of, more cubes...

    Mishra's Bauble has better play patterns IMO, if you really want to provide a set of zero-cost cantrips. Just peeking at the top card of the library helps maintain tension but does allow for a modicum of interplay with the opponent's upcoming plays.

    Totally valid fail case. If you are casting multiple Serum Visions and the like, you shouldn't really need the effect anyways.

    General [STX] Strixhaven Spoilers

    This complexity is why I really dislike all the "shortcuts" they've made to their phrasing recently. One major thing changing CMC to MV does on a card is let them cram more complexity into that text box*. This is operating under the principle that "converted mana cost" and "mana value" both take...

    I really like quandrix apprentice. I'm tying UG into my lands theme, and this is a perfect fusion of that and the various spells themes. Besides TGT's note that there will be plenty of "generic" instant/sorceries in a bant/RUG/etc deck (burn, cantrips, pump spells etc).
