    Or fix pack rat by adding an additional cost at the copy making of the copy, e.g., 2b: create a copy of pack rat where the copy ability requires an additional 1 life. If you make a copy with the copy than it will cost 2 additional life. So pack rat has some copy protection, but not endless.

    General Weekly Fun Q: Worst card to lose to & best to win with?

    Well, I do like a challenge so I do not mind playing against it. As long as there is a reasonable way that I can still win. The following cards can present a challenge but are beatable. Smokestack Plow under Worship Phyrexian processor Sneak attack The following do you have the answer now or...

    General Weekly Fun Q: Worst card to lose to & best to win with?

    That's not a raise, that's a stunt... Stunted has the discard disease. Not really effective at high mana cost due to the low hand size of the opponent ( Wit's end anyone?). Plow costs 2 land drops and 2 card draws. Stunted on the other hand has a ceiling of 3 card draws but is a downright awful...

    Well, with both you are only in risk of a removal check... What's wrong with a bit of risk?

    What works better with aggressive self-mill is: unburial rites Laboratory maniac But gurzigost is probably a tad fairer

    That's just one time 3 additional damage right? It is slightly damage wose better than the lands deck damage combo (return shock variant when opponent gets life, together with the land that gives the opponent life) but it is much easier disrupted...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Let me suggest a fix: Picking davriel gets you the following card for free: Wall of souls Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage A bit of discard support and a new black control deck arrives Coffin queen? Oh, Smallpox is a bit of support for the persecutor (since you can sack the persecutor)

    Yes on both? You will need support for the persecutor and it is only good when it is not outclassed, e.g., baneslayer...

    I was more thinking in the direction of the desert cube or torment/ judgement type of imbalances.

    I personally do not mind imbalances. They should be known by the drafters though. Just like cards which signal an archetype which is not there.

    I rather have you commented. More eyes and views make things better! Sometimes you find something that is not a problem for the other sometimes you find something that the other is very happy about!

    One additional point why equal numbers are not needed: aggro decks have a lower land count hence more non-land cards... so one can get away with less cards for slow colors.

    Y'all think way too hard. Treat it like a sque, I.e., use it as a card advantage card. The issue is that with squee returns every turn and this one when one plays an artifact....

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    You want to keep the color strengths of the pokemon's right? Why don't you do something like: On a fire pokemon: *name* damage to grass pokemon is doubled and damage received is halved from another type? Or put on the grass pokemon: it receives double the damage from fire pokemon?

    Another idea would be to make white enchantresses, strong hidden/opal/veiled cards in white, with enchantment creatures and replenish... In the color pie, but a tad on wheels.

    Those seem to do the trick. Mass reanimation, instant reanimation, and hatebears. These are through the roof strong. Since you want it for a vintage cube, why not something that hoses artifacts but stronger than white currently has?

    White has reanimate. Why don't you use instant reanimate and let black focus on reanimate from any graveyard? Miraculous recovery Reanimate Necromancy Alternatively, create creatures for white which have cheaper conditions like the avatar of cycle from prophecy. Or create a white sensei's...

    Yes, that was the joke. It was partly sarcastic but also blue got everything, including John McClane.

    I like the second set much much more than the first. The first one steals from other colors, why do that? The second one feels more in line with the color wheel. What does white do? 1) answers to everything (but more expensive and has to jump through hoops for creature removal). 2) aggro 3)...
