Why not keep damage on the stack? Please explain to me the difference between shock and an archer against a creature. Now one goes on the stack, the other not on combat…

Ah, stacks and cards like no mercy Pestilence Worship Form of the dragon Smokestack Pariah Living lands Humility and many more. Any card that changes the way the game has to be played without being a big threat which ends the game if the other cannot answer it makes me happy.

True, either: 1) basic box and hand out 2) put them in the cube, which takes space/picks and do not mind that one takes them all You cannot have them both. You can solve your conundrum by allowing players to pick 3 lands from your land box, where there are a lot of vistas and some lands which...

Or put the vistas in the basic land box and hand out 3 to each player…

The problem with island+mountain is that if one does not play blue in the end that a pick is wasted. Still, much better than duals in draft but I think the voucher solves the this land is not always used problem.

Isn’t it better to have vouchers like: Hand in 1 pick a land from this pile Hand in 2 pick a land from that pile Hand in 3 for a fetch of choice Hand in 4 for cradle? It prevents the wrong color picking problem and keeps the idea that one can choose between many “bad” fixing lands or a few good...

Just like me, but a tad earlier. I guess original Mirodin?

What is wrong with searching once for the win? It is just one shuffle, which you could forego if you win, e.g., Academic rector

Why not wishing? It is kind of like searching but then a lot quicker. The remainder of the deck can then be anything you want, only have 15 sideboard cards ready. That leaves 3 battles, 3 golden wish, 4 death wish, 4 burning wish, 4 wish in your deck and 1 battle and 1 golden wish in your...

Hidetsugu's Second Rite

Unless counters/prevention is a big deal (or you need it to be an instant). 12 mana is a lot though.

no mercy Lurking evil

Nope, channeler replaces man o war. But Barrin is different it could be an engine. Eg. shimmering wing Flickering ward apples and pears and so on

Well, plargg may be one off but it is also not. There are many creatures which draw or do something like that. Mentally, it is easy to parse.

There is also something called complexity for the opponent. The saga commands full reading to know whether you have to answer it while Plargg reads for the opponent like tap, cast something from the top of your library. Furthermore, for drafting/including you need to know the full card. That’s...

It is no prismatic vista That’s for sure. It is a gate if that’s up your alley

Please, do not ever mention Dead ringers again. How it is worded is an abomination: slightly better would have been: destroy two target non-black creatures that are the same (or share the same) colours. They cannot be regenerated. Better yet, forget it ever existed because even if you understand...

Enlist is a much simpler, but also one sided (on many sides) of banding. Sadly it is still complex and it will screw up pre-combat math big time.

How is the raven man a madness payoff? You still have to discard the card to be able to madness it. Did you mean discard payoff (e.g. cycling, the imp and so on)?
