    Latest word on BTP is that sphere is the new hotness. They're figuring spherecobra could easily take a slice of the online Magic π!

    You can start a spoiler with "[ spoiler ]" (removing the spaces) and end it with "[ /spoiler ]" (again, removing the spaces). Alternatively you can select the image (or text) you want to put in a spoiler, then click on the three dots to the right of the text color icon, which opens a menu with...

    I mean, I think Magic in general is a lot for a new player. These are three pretty straightforward keywords that are easy to explain, and they make for a relatively powerful uncommon. Much better than Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, Aberrant, or Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, I'ld say!

    Flying was already a keyword in Alpha, the very first Magic set. PS. Please spoiler big images like that one, saves a lot of bandwidth for mobile people and scrolling for everyone ;)

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    A few notes on those suggestion; Single Combat disappointed in testing and played far worse then expected, and Sculpted Sunburst is iffy because it does nothing if you can't choose a creature (either because you don't have one or because your only creature got Swords'ed in response). By...

    Same! Even though I'm not currently running it, it's probably in my top 5 cards that I tried to cut only to reintroduce it most often.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Fortunate Few is a poor man's Tragic Arrogance. Oddly Uneven is silver-bordered, but wipes all Goats without touching the troll (or the other way around, I suppose).

    Agreed, but I also think searching your library (thus thinning your deck) for basic lands (that fix your mana) is stronger than adding three colorless hands to your hand that accelerate you in three turns. I also think Many Partings is arguably stronger than Seek the Horizon for {1}{G}. Keep in...

    So, Urza's Landmarks is a two mana draw three, but it draws only lands, and colorless ones at that. It's exciting and good, but when properly evaluating the card we should also keep in mind that Seek the Horizon is straight up unplayable in almost any cube, let alone high powered ones, despite...

    Yeah, there isn't really an existing fit for what you are asking, I think. Mown got the two best fits, but neither are close to the most attractive reanimation options in red imo. It might be better to create a custom card for this slot, if you don't mind running those.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Just wanted to get into these two arguments specifically. So, the first one makes a few assumptions that you can easily break with stash (or conjure). Your argument is totally valid for the original Wishes, but I don't think it applies to what Maldar and me are doing with our designs. (I'll call...

    Yeah, it reduces your deck, which is pretty strong. My intent was to add "with different card types", but maybe "random" is just better for this cost? Also a lot less satisfying though, so maybe you up the cost to {1}{u}.

    Herdcaller {1}{G} Creature — Elf Shaman Stash—Before you shuffle your deck to start the game, you may reveal this card from your deck to add a card named Call of the Herd to your sideboard. When ~ attacks, you may cast the stashed card. 2/1 Terragate Land Stash—Before you shuffle your deck to...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Yeah, it's definitely a Sylvan Library level card in that regard. Green doesn't have that many cards that can draw you into the color p1p1, and many of them are top of the line redundant role players like Birds of Paradise and Noble Hierarch. I really like Urza's Landmarks for that reason. That...

    I don't necessarily love all of these, but there are some absolute gems in there! The Oracle of the Alpha variants are all really clever. There's some really awesome treasure cards as well, I particularly like Organized Crime and Hold for Questioning. And while I don't love Illusionary Discovery...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I have cubed and enjoyed Jori En, back when I supported UR. If you can trigger her twice, she's already a Divination on legs, which is great. That said, her stats do demand a lower power level, because she's not going to be relevant if the opponent is beating down with the likes of Dragon's Rage...

    It's a fun game, but the last great content update was in November last year. They've done some minor updates since then, with them releasing two new planeswalkers in March of this year, but WotC still isn't pushing the game, so I assume they're letting it die slowly. Sad, really.

    Design Diary: Cooperative Deckbuilder

    Bennett is a bit confusing, particularly because of the activation costs and weird "Pass Bennett Ada." line. Each player starts with one container, right, which has no cost? Couldn't Bennett just be an additional container with the limitation that he holds max one ingredient and (maybe) can't be...
