That said, Man-o'-War and Nekrataal were super iconic for a reason.

I feel you, but I'm not going to let the silly frame withold me from playing some absolute bangers from that set. The basic {b}{g}{u} landcyclers in particular are the bee's knees, frame be damned :) There's plenty of resonant fantasy that would fit the Magic IP, though LotR and GoT are...

Maybe try incorporating UW in another way than how you did it... At least I got a Greymond, Avacyn's Stalwart for my human deck before they pulled support for UW.

I’m afraid there is no right answer here, because it all depends on how much interaction you want your players to have. What you can do is look at how much interaction you want your players to have. For example, if you want your drafters to have four pieces of removal on average, that’s 16 cards...

Well, I don’t want blue to look like colorless mana. Blue as a color identity still comes with expectations of what is and what isn’t in pie. You’re still playing blue spells, it’s just that every deck in the draft is blue. It would look and feel weird if Counterspell cost {2} in this...

The idea is to have diamond mana replace blue as one of the five colors. Instead of basic lands you’ld be running Tundras and other blue duals in the basic land box instead of basics. It would require some customs, like an Island Wastes dual (yeah, we’re going to have to make Wastes a basic land...

With every set that features diamond mana my dream of an Eldrazi "blue is the new colorless" cube is coming one step closer!

I agree with you on the importance of manafixing, but distinguishing between "help you cast your spells" and "let you cast your spells" feels a bit like a tomayto, tomato situation. The answer to "what happens when you don't draw the right colors" is "you can't cast your spells" either way. If...

Fallout's aesthetic works really well for a post-apocalyptic game, but it doesn't look as good on a Magic card, I agree :)

Respect.

This Oko might be the coolest Clone ever. Definitely doesn't look as oppressive as old Oko.

I wanted to point this out, but could never have done it as eloquently as this diagram :’) That said, Badgers in the Redwall series feel more {R/W} to me, proud warriors that are closely associated with the bloodwrath condition. “The Bloodwrath is a mental condition characteristic of badgers...

He only stated that a community-driven attempt to create Universes Beyond-free Commander variant fell apart because a large minority insisted on reinstating cards that were specifically banned by WotC because they carry racists connotations and (in the case of Cleanse and Invoke Prejudice at...

I can appreciate you playing the public for likes like this @TrainmasterGT, but I’ll stand firm and refuse to encourage the consumption of domesticated dire rhino’s!

I mean, I don't think everyone alive during the segregation era was racist, but people calling for a return to that time definitely are. I know there are people who truly believe you should separate art from the artist, but come on, we're talking about a literal neo-nazi who illustrated cards...

Just to be clear: I meant the best as in “trying to create a truly democratic format”, and the worst as in “but let’s be racist about it”.

Can confirm, 75 white cards. Lots of breaking singleton in the 2 mv section.

“They were the best of men, they were the worst of men.”

You are absolutely right that their no guns policy predates UB, and I don’t know that they ever reflected on the impact of UB on this policy, but on his Tumblr, MaRo said this: “I’m not saying guns have no place in fantasy. I’m, saying they have no place in our fantasy.” Obviously, Universes...

How has this one not been named yet? Genesis Genesis is love. Genesis is life. Also, this one is hilarious if you run any ramp spells, and forms a marvelous tag team with Ant Queen :) Also just an honest big beater. Ashaya, Soul of the Wild
