    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    When you go to the Text tab, below the 'Enter text' field, there's a a dropdown 'Text Code / Mana Symbol Code Reference' that you can click on to display almost all of the different options. A cube is a custom draft format, no more, no less. Basically you build a big box of cards that you use...

    But most vanilla cards are boring! Even Indomitable Ancients and Yargle and Multani are not that exciting beyond the first "he he, that's funny" reaction. That isn't to say you can't spark excitement with vanilla's, Watchwolf turned a lot of eyes when it was first printed. The point isn't to...

    I would still remove the word ‘would’ from that flavor text then :)

    Dammit, I run Isamaru. The good boy's legendary and perfectly statted though.

    You're all crazy if you're trying to convince yourself that there's something special about vanilla creatures! Muraganda Petroglyphs and Ayula, Queen Among Bears do not fix that blandness :P

    We only have the words of WotC to go by, but since their main motivation is to lure in new spending players so Ca$hbro gets more money, I don't see why they would lie on this specific topic. By their own admission, "Low complexity" was tried for years to attract new players, but that actually...

    I do love Fallout though!

    I was just about to comment that a higher booster price does mean a higher cost of entry, so it's not all win-win. I do think this change will make retail drafts more exciting, and building a cube to draft "for free" more appealing.

    Way more boosters are ripped open just for the thrill of opening a pack than for actually playing a draft. More bomb rares is more excitement for those booster rippers (a majority) at the cost of more unbalanced gameplay for limited enjoyers (a minority). However, limited play is still...

    As a non-native speaker this sentence is weird for two reasons. The first one is that “which” sounds fancy and/or old-fashioned, in a “who still speaks like that” way. Personally I would use “that” every single time. The second is that appreciate in this context immediately scans in its “hold...

    I mean, they are very transparent about the differences between the three types of boosters (draft, set, and play). We know that the EV per dollar spent of draft and set boosters are roughly similar, and we also know the play and draft boosters will be roughly similar, and that the difference...

    or about Patrick Sullivan's hot take?

    No there isn't, because they didn't disclose the probability of opening a rare/mythic in either of the wildcard slots. The EV per spent dollar should roughly remain similar though.

    The list card is, in fact, playable in draft, as are the wildcards. That makes for 13 draftable cards, or 14 if a set puts a nonbasic land in the land slot. This is down 1 slot from the current 14-15 cards in draft boosters, but we're going from 10 commons to 6-9 commons (slot #7 contains a...

    Yeah, change the frame and flavor text, and you're good!

    "game : paper" is a good way to exclude Alchemy cards from your search results ;) (remove the spaces)
