Sort of like how Planeswalkers are easier to interact with enchantments? I mean, that isn't a wrong way to look at it. But just because they might be easier to interact with doesn't take away from the focus both of these things (vehicles and walkers) place on creatures.

I'm a little nervous about vehicles honestly. Has anyone gotten in testing yet? Here's my concern. The game has already really pushed creatures. Been doing that for years. And vehicles are just an extension of that. They really encourage you to just run as many bodies as you can...

I almost put Body Snatcher in my retro list. I like that it's both a discard AND reanimation effect all in one (though a tad clunky on the second part).

I think creatures like this have less to do with having drawbacks and more to do with how punished you are by removal in particular. Drake feels borderline suicidal in the average cube deck, especially anyone running something like lightning bolt. Master of the Feast is interesting because...

Heartbeat of Spring/Mana Flare feel like almost pure combo cards to me. Either playing them the turn you combo off or the turn before daring your opponent to beat you in one turn or lose. One non-combo build this might be viable in is something discard heavy. If your opponent has nothing to...

I think it might be. White has waaaaayyyyy too much WW1 going on at that CC. A splashable removal-on-a-stick dude I think is potentially good. Not sure the body is worth it over O-ring/Banishing Light though. My experience with both Fiend Hunter and Banisher Priest is that a 2/2 is better...

Wow. That is pretty nice actually.

That's what I was thinking too, which makes that card a clusterfuck IMO.

That's a weird card. What happens if it dies and you get it back, can you use the second ability to get all the cards exiled by all versions of Bormat Courier?

I love the border. It's like the old brown border made shiny and new. Fuck that stupid hologram at the bottom, but I just need to accept that.

Man. I really disliked the land expeditions, but these artifacts are beautiful.

I don't think targeting siege gang in your yard gives the tokens +2/+0 and haste because those tokens trigger after Torrent of Souls resolves.

I couldn't for the life of me get Torrent of Souls to work. It reads awesome, felt like it fit in a lot of decks. But just was never what I needed when I could cast it.

Crater Hellion is much better than "generally playable". Many games, I'm falling over myself to pay echo on that after it essentially wiped the board. Keldon Vandals is another one that I actually like. Depending on how often it will have a target, but the body is a lot better I feel than...

I'm enjoying the back and forth here and don't really want to take sides. What I do want to say though is I think evoke is a really great key word because it offers options. There is a cost involved with using the evoke option (you lose the body barring blink shenanigans). And there have been...

Again though, what if you wanted to make JUST UW have the "ETB value" theme? This card fits like a glove for that. Mulldrifter suffers from just being splashable ETB nonsense in a sea of too much splashable ETB nonsense. IMO, mulldrifter is a hundred times more guilty than life drifter...

Thanks for getting through my novel. :) That still feels a bit loose, though I like that it also costs blue mana. What I really like (and almost feel is essential) is that Inkwell has shroud. Nothing sucks more than spending all this time getting a 9 mana thing in play and then having it...

I've been working on an evolved retro list per the post above, and this is where it's currently at and what ended up being played last night. It's the base retro list with roughly 50 card swaps. All restrictions from the original retro list have essentially been lifted, but the goal was to keep...

As soon as I saw energy counters, I immediately thought of two mirrodin cards that I loved and thought it was the same mechanic, but sadly no. Maybe power conduit is good enough with a ton of counter support? Energy Chamber Power Conduit
