    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow Testing/Includes Thread

    Panicked Bystander Cackling Culprit I kinda dislike the black activation cost on the flip side, as this will be sought after by mono white and green/white lifegain decks alike. I wish it was {1}{B/G} to activate. But I'll take self-fueling lifegain payoffs that good and will replace this when I...

    @MilesOfficial I gotta say, Kessig Wolf seems a little out of place here. It's not only quite obviously weaker than all other cards mentioned, it's also been printed 12 years ago :D

    Oh, I do think 1/1 fliers can be pretty relevant in the right environment, which is one with lower power level and good aggro support. They can easily represent 4-5 points of damage, carry equipment very well and efficiently, and they come with upside these days. It is also not true that they...

    That's an interesting one. I had the same fight somewhat recently and I went with the Assistant. He also triggers on legends and sagas, which does matter. I have 130/680 cards in my cube that trigger it, so the chance of coming close to 1 trigger per turn seemed more promising to me, and I think...

    I love the story to number 4. Really shows what "the Gathering" is about :)

    @Sheltem Not really. It seems kinda mediocre. Am I undervaluing it? @BlacI figured that was the sweet spot for a ramp/reanimator target that can still be cast by control/midrange decks most of the games. Most 6-drops feel like they are either too good or not good enough when reanimated for...

    Colorless artifact creature 7-drops with a lower-middling power level aren't really abundant, though. I run Meteor Golem already

    Sandstone Oracle Has anyone any kind of experience with this thing? What decks want it? Reanimator, Ramp, Artifacts? Is it good, or rather, consistent enough to be a cool inclusion? I can imagine that it can be sick when reanimated or ramped out, and repeatable discard outlets like Wild Mongrel...

    Oh, I think you are right. Well, we almost got Unearth as the Golgari Mechanic for the latest Ravnica set, so there is some hope. But anyways, a card here and there is fine. It's not like I want them to create an archetype that doesn't exist yet. It just needs like two more enablers and maybe...

    I am thinking hard weather I want to include a bunch of blood token makers. Falkenrath Forebear Blood Fountain Pointed Discussion Voldaren Epicure Blood Petal Celebrant Bloody Betrayal The black ones and Betrayal have a decent baseline even without madness or artifact synergies, but none of...

    I know, I am mostly just sad that white got Hallowblade and now that, but green, the color of our mongrel overlord didn't get anything in terms of a good discard outlet since Noose Constrictor.

    Why couldn't this be a green card? :(:mad:

    Oh boy, that might be my new favorite {w/b} lifegain signpost. I think I will try this over Indulging Patrician.

    I think I like this a bit better. It works in non-beatdown decks. For example, I'd like this in {R/G} ramp decks or value-oriented {U/R} spells decks, both which will often play the defensive role for quite some time. And three mana is just a little too much for this effect. I think I'll cube...

    Now that I think about it, it's also a cool card to support mono color decks without being too loud about it

    Oh boy I've just played with Drake Haven But I think I like this better than Faith If not because of my black zombie subtheme

    Actually it is a Zombify that you can cast as a Raise Dead/Disentomb in madness mode. I am intrigued. This card makes me hyped for Kamigawa 2. I'll probably replace Silver Raven with it. That is cool. I want a creepy 6/6 Healer's Hawk doll. A very non-parasitic artifacts payoff.

    Twinblade Geist however is a slam dunk for me! A nice body for Wx Equipment/Voltron decks. Pouncer was too much for me, so I am happy to either replace Kor Blademaster or if I can run it alongside. I was hoping for quite some time now to get Fencing Ace with small upside at uncommon again. There...

    It is flexible as a 4drop and 7drop in one package, but it's also quite boring. No synergy potential at all. I'll happily play this in limited and stick with Deadbridge Goliath (and Vengevine) in cube.
