The whole cycle looks like design mistakes

I am sorry, pal, I deleted my post immediately after posting it, since after doing so, it became clear to me, that only Windbrisk Heights could be the winner in this contest. It is basically a land costing {W}, since it enters tapped, and it lets you play another good card from your library for...

Kappa is definitely stronger. Also, I think the Hulk sits in a weird spot. It's a gold build around signpost kind of card, but those usally are very for your game plan and you'd rather wait with them on your hand instead of cycling them most of the time. Of course it's still pure upside and a...

What would you say, at which number is a "scry N" effect worth the same value as "draw a card"? At which point would it maybe even be worth more? Let's assume it's a one shot effect that you can't expect to replay multiple times.

Yes, I run these guys. Cache Raiders They play put pretty well in my environment, as they can bounce creatures for blink, lands for landfall, artifacts for certain artifact payoffs and of course stuff like sagas or Demonic Pact too. I've also haven't run into problems with the upkeep clause...

I think I might be where I wanted to be with the artifact theme in my cube. It's an almost color agnostic subtheme that can be splashed into different decks. During my last paper draft, I almost had an artifact theme present in my mono {R} deck, but during deckbuidling decided to go for a bigger...

So, this set is a bit of a mess. People seem to like it due to high power level and because it helps out some popular themes, but when I look through the spoiler, it doesn't feel like one, cohesive set to me. We have sagas that flip into enchantment creatures. But also just random enchantment...

well, it doesn't get rid of utility through abilities

I agree with both of you and want to add, that some of the artifact creatures also feel a little forced. Yes, most of those have mechanical augmentationd, but some just seem to ... carry a weapon.

White doesn't get much draining effects, but these guys have it. Which card is stronger? Which has cooler play patterns? (If it would be a battle just for cooler look, the phyrexian lady would easily win here. However, I like the Syndics simplicity.) Suture Priest Syndic of Tithes

Totally. I'm only excluding it because I think it would be too good in my cube with it's billions of discard effects. What are people's opinions on Roaring Earth?

Another cool way to make land based ramp not of zero worth after a few turns is to include landfall. It's a theme that goes well with super ramp and is also focused in Gx. There are also a lot of options at different power levels Ulvenwald Hydra Vinelasher Kudzu Zendikar's Roil Tireless Tracker...

Llanowar Tribe Vernal Bloom Genesis Wave

Am I the only one who finds this weird? Tamiyo's Compleation Thirst for Discovery Looks like the same scene from a different angle. Even those weird glass cylinder things look same-y.

They are all striving to win "ugliest magic card in existence". That being said, the set has actually a few cards that evoke the feeling of kamigawa to certain degrees, and I'll be adding seven cards or so to my cube. I'll probably just ignore this limited set and be happy with my white ninja fox.

I didn't mention EWit anywhere so far, but I thought about it. It wouldn't be too strong I guess. It used to be a little expensive (over 1€) and I feared it would outclass my pet card Gravedigger a bit too much, even for a green creature. I also try to limit the free etb value as much as...

I didn't include tribal because of this. Red will have two fire attacks, but also rock, ground and fight moves plus a few normal moves. And green decks will not only have plant and bug pokemon, but also poison and ground types. And in return, it has a plant attack move that's effective against...

I am totally with you here, I hate it, that tzey leave more and more reminder text of the cards these days. However,I think it is fine for mechanics that appear on many cards in the cube. If someone asks during drafting what madness does, they don't give away which card they're considering all...

It sucks that this only works on your turn, but I understand that the infinite chump blocks would've been annoying.

I loved Kamigawa. I dislike sci-fi-neon-cyborg world, like a lot. Finally going back to Kamigawa after many years of irrational hope (it was always said going back isn't likely at all) and then getting a weird world that doesn't feel AT ALL like Kamigawa just hurts. I'm okay with just ignoring a...
