    You know, I wasn't originally going to consider this card, but I actually might now. Basically, I found that all of the Constellation stuff in W/G just didn't work that well because most of the good enchantments cost like 1-3 mana and all of the best payoffs are 3-6 mana. The only "generically...

    This card looks neat in low-power, value-oriented environments. I don't even think you necessarily need explicit synergies for this card to do something worthwhile. You just need to be in a format where spending 4 mana on a 2/1 with a regrowth stapled on isn't an abysmal floor, and you can...

    Double post but I think this is a good one- meet Esper Sentinel! I think this card is going to be a really neat way to help aggressive White decks maintain a reasonable card count against spell-heavy midrange and control strategies. Realistically, those decks won't always be able to pay the...

    Well I'll be damned- the White member of the Evoke Elemental Incarnation cycle is actually good! I'm quite a big fan of this card, it seems like the usual mana advantage gain that can make cards like Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile so strong in limited formats is offset here by having to...

    I don't think this is true at all. Venser was pretty mediocre when I ran him in a mid-power environment, and I can't see him getting better anywhere up the curve. A lot of the environments that run high-power cards and are still able to accommodate Venser tend to be slow or more inconsistent...

    I very much like this particular color (and Edge of Autumn!)

    Oh for sure. Ravagan looks like it will be a really fun card to play in Constructed and some high power environments, but I think that it's not a great choice if you support a real aggro deck that isn't at the top end of the "fair" power band. I think it provides way too much value for slower...

    Probably because it's harder to splash. Bake into a Pie is already a mediocre card because of its high mana cost for what amounts to a Murder with a tiny upside, and the fact that it isn't easily splashed basically kills it for 90% of Cubes.

    I think this card is absolutely busted and I think if I were to put this in my Cube it would make R/x aggro be the best deck. If I open it, I will try it to test my Suspicion Hypothesis, but I think this card is above where I need my 1-drops to be... ...Which is ironic because I didn't think it...

    More like paging @SirFunchalot. (Although I think this is a decent enabler for Ravnic's R/G archetype).

    Yeah, I think the normal version will do for me as well. I really like the Art-Deco vibes of the mystical archive cards, but the Iris Compiet version of Abundant Harvest is even better. And it won't cost as much! This could easily be banned in Modern if the As Foretold deck ends up taking off...

    I'm really happy this is Common and not Rare or something. This card is easily powerful enough that it could have been a higher rarity. ...Now I just have to decide which frame treatment I want to use :rolleyes:

    I'm liking the idea of having a second copy of Gray Merchant of Asphodel without actually needing to double up on Gary himself. The big issue with this card is that Underworld Hermit costs 6, meaning that literally only black heavy midrange decks actually want this card (seriously, this card...

    This card seems really good. It's a bear with a ping attached. While I think it's at its best in Cubes with Proliferate/Other +1/+1 Counter shenanigans to work with, I think the base rate here is good enough where the card is a good inclusion in most environments. I can't even imagine how good...

    This is a very Un-Fair card that is best in Fair environments. Interesting, will watch.

    Every time I've had this card in Draft I've lost. It's very strong, but I think calling it a Mistake is... ...A Mistake.

    Lol What? This definitely could see play in a Penny-Pincher type cube, but I'm not sure it has legs anywhere else. I like colorless one-drops, but I'm not sure Arcbound Worker that can do a white Jump is really where I want to be. That said, the Auriok Salvagers loop potential makes this a...

    I'm not really sure this qualifies as a gold card simply because it has a two-color activation. I could totally see this being played in a Bwr Aristocrats Shell or a gUR Artifacts/Clues decks to good effect. If I were to run this card, I would probably count it as a mono-black card, just because...
