While the pro-color mythic cycle has also been a complete miss for me, I agree that this is definitely one of the best sets ever in terms of cards to seem awesome. Heroic should be better for me then most as I run all those jank cards that target your dudes. More one drops, which are always...

Those of us who don't like Miran Crusader's protection: your hero is here.

Actually, it makes more sense that the most successful aggro decks around here is always red/white: those decks can meaningfully draft the forked bolt/icatian javelineer/arc lightning/fireslinger/etc and dilute those effects in the other players' decks.

Everyone I play with has been playing since 1993-1995, so that's a nonissue. Savannah Lions has been free card advantage for a while now (getting x-1'd by every mass/dividable removal spell) with only generic upside. It also gets owned by Seacoast Drake. Adding banding won't really change any of...

I agree. I've never played this game, but the fact that many of the puzzles don't have solutions does indeed seem like a failure of design. Needing a "lucky starting configuration" completely defeats the point. I can't solve a Rubick's cube, but I know that if I worked hard enough at it I...

I think I'll try this idea balls out and see how that plays. The "lower your curve" mantra seems good, so lets take it to the extreme and see how that plays. I'm thinking of using the classic 1-2-3-4/4-3-2-1 sligh curve for my first trial in a 384 card design. Theros is actually putting out...

We have an unabashed love of corpse dance over here, so this card is extremely interesting to me. It has a much higher start up cost. It can't be used of defense. It is more vunerable to disruption. You can't play it for 3 in a pinch. You can't avoid the "leaves play" clause. But in...

When someone sees this card, they might think any number of things. They might think "aggro support". They might think "power creep". They might think "more reasons to use champion of the parish". They might think any number of things. But what do I think? Tacit permission to write...

I mean, on cubetutor you can adjust the mancost of your own cube to account for such things, but obviously other people may not be so polite. After looking over 2 sections (White and Green) 85% may be just a bit lofty. Though, I did come up with a reasonable white section (moral of the story...

No clue where the anthem hated comes from. I like them. Mirari's Wake forever!

I've been working on an experiment wherein 85% of the monocolor cards are between 1-3 mana and see how it plays out. I'm guessing it will be awesome.

If you want to be a slow cube, is it necessarily a bad thing if the games come down to who can build the slowest most controlling deck and land there biggest bombs? As long as you include enough tools for everyone to have control and bombs and make there be variety in how decks accomplish this...

Fun fact: In their natural habitat, Seacoast Drakes eat Augury Owl for breakfast

Really the only mana cost I don't feel satisfied with in most colors is 1 (and once in a while 3). Just about anything else is purely lateral shifting. I see Xenagos and it doesn't at all matter to me if he's better then Bloodbraid, Huntermaster, Koth, Garruk, etc. Power level wise, he's...

I have no idea. Usually I can quickly form an opinion of a card pretty quickly and make a concise evaluation (even if it turns out to be wrong). With this card, I get all caught up in analogy and a constant torrent of varied situations that I can't do it. I mean, the value of this card from game...

I think you misunderstood me. What I meant was that there was a time when Scarwood Goblins was a good enough card to win tournaments with (Grizzly Bear can't be used to cast The Best Burn Card Ever Printed). When I was looking for an efficient body that couldn't be Hydroblasted or stopped by...

There was a time I was winning Type 1 tournaments with cards like Scarwood Goblins in my 75. Somewhere along the line things just went nuts.

I don't know about Simic, but I'm pretty sure G/W doesn't mind, what with its 78236892357890 great cards.

Yes.

I like this idea a lot. Sharpie it! I know I will!
