That's the best blacksmithy-like answer I could've hoped for <3

I might have posted about this card before as well, but I feel inclined to. That card looks very unassuming and people don't pick it up hastily, but it overperforms basically every single time it hits the battlefield in my cube's matches. Yet it is in only 0.45% percent of cobra's cubes. It' no...

Yeah, that card is nuts in NEO draft. I also like Stone Haven Pilgrim, Trusty Retriever and Starnheim Courser. White has some tools.

Btw, I would love to get artifact/enchantment support, just like it's the default for instants and sorceries to be batched together. It would make it so much easier to support. I'm just getting away with artifacts as a theme so easily because I have such a large colorless section, but...

I was hoping for "nah, that's no problem, it's super ovious", but thanks for telling me the truth. Maybe it's less bad with only 2 sagas and 1 class in a 680 card cube, as they are less likely to be opened in the same pack or even in the same seat?

Enchantments are the least supported card type in my cube, after walkers. You can draft a "spells deck", an "artifact deck", even a "lands deck", but no "enchantments deck" sadly. So cards like that Renewal or Geothermal Kami would be bad inclusions in the first place. But you can combine Kor...

Do you guys think it is confusing to run Sagas and Classes in the same cube? For newbies drafting it, I mean? Will they mix them up or be irritaed when they just understood how one thing works and then they see the other (with mana costs to level or with chapters for example). I know they don't...

Artifacts and enchantments also used to be mechanically different. Artifacts were colorless (until Alara) and thus the go to version for colorless creatures too. Enchantments were colored and couldn't tap (Until Future Sight). One general problem with enchantments, that we don't have with...

Not much, actually. Other than Drake Haven, Flameblade Adept and Glint-Horn Buccaneer I run no cards that care about other cards being discarded. And a flexible channel card is actually less likely to be discarded for value to another outlet/effect. So no real synergy there.

Yeah, stick with Fauna Shaman. Even I, as green madness' greatest advocat, I'd stay away from Arkbow for the exact same reason sigh mentioned.

I think the extended art frames look even worse than regular rares these days. Why the heck is the type bar black on white? Did they try to get as many shapes and colors into one frame as possible? Messy as fuck.

But it could be? There is no reason it couldn't. Works perfectly fine ruleswise. And there are many that come close to being just one time effects. Eidolon of Blossoms Dress Down Delusions of Mediocrity Underworld Breach

Note that there is no inherent mechanical difference between artifacts and enchantments in the firdt place. They just decided to let only one tap, with a few exceptions the other doesn't get to.

But ... an enchantment could just have Spirited Companions text? I agree that they're lacking flavor here, but mechanically, it is no mistake.

Mastery of the Unseen Has anyone ever tried this card in a cube? It creates relevant bodies (2/2s with potential upside) and the rate seems decent for lower powered cubes. And the first ability is probably a good way to make up a potential tempo loss. An obvious comparison would be Dawn of...

I do run Birth of Meletis already. It is so great, works with artifacts and lifegain too. I didn't count it as a 2-drop when I said I can't afford two non attacking ones, and it's not like all my two drops are hyper aggressive, just having a home in some attacking decks. That being said, I...

Wall of Omens Spirted Companion So, I can't afford two non-aggro-playable 2-drops here. But what is more important: Working with ninjutsu or being a good blocker? I run eleven Ninjas, one in white, five in blue, four in black and one dimir card. I also run like two cards, that care about...

But Anthem has an effect as long as you control at least one creature. Arkbow is a zero without more mana and cards invested.

I mean, modern doesn't have Wasteland. Is Blood Moon still a thing? Why would any deck not run one copy of each that fits it's colors? That being said, I could barely care less for constructed.

I think any untapped, color producing land without any kind of drawback is a mistake, designwise. In draft, they are potentially fine, as they still cost you a pick at least, but for constructed, you don't want those. And the new cycle overall seems worse (because they're stronger) than the...
