those are low-powered cards. moltensteel was exciting until we actually played with it. a card like grenzo's cutthroat also suggests a low-powered environment, and i'd like to nominate http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/everyone-come-look-at-and-work-on-this-communal-cube.580/#post-21899 as the...

what if there are no themes!

did you read the "bluegro" thread? doesn't work in the context of most of our cubes. could work for a low power level cube. will 100% not work in a cube with 3 stromkirks and 3 champs. as for supporting aggro, 3 champs and 3 stromkirks is a start powermax manabases probably. some mana denial...

yep. and this is why when we design something we err on the side of making the card's power level too low

sometimes people at wotc tell me things that are very vague or at least c/o someone else in between. a betting line is a market for wagering on the outcome of an event or competition. pinnacle is the sportsbook that offers the best odds in the world. the PT is the "pro tour," but that name is...

sure, snuff out, dismember, gitaxian probe, and so on.

ahhh but the VMA draft dynamics are more interesting than the MMA ones! this provides a clue to my friends' experience drafting the two, MMA staled after some time but VMA continues to support binge-drafting (or at least makes MMA seem stale in retrospect). probably because more archetypes =...

clan defiance?

marchesa + gavony township = 5 color +1/+1 counters a serious answer has to do with paying life. cards like spellskite come to mind. the life-payment death's shadow decks are a possibility, check out the latest Woo videos on CFB or the latest Gerry T vids on SCG. specific card choices off the...

yeah ok you guys are right bad idea on my part

<3 garruk, caller of beasts

hey at least ninja gives you a trigger

seattle grapevine. with the lines on pts the last few go rounds im surprised pinnacle isnt spreading it

--- i like all these ideas but the lands are too strong. the kismet land is even probably a little much, the RRR land and the Ancient Tomb on Steroids are just nuts though. yet how do you balance them? i think the low opportunity cost of playing any land with an effect makes the design...

Komeback to Kamigawa Ideamoor-Oddtide Mercadian Faces-Bestie-Memory good thing the fall set is "Wedges of Alara"

the best pauper edh card of all time evincar's justice

I couldn't include enough quality blue counters at 2 without the 4x rune snag. it's a relatively low-power card that wheels a lot, and that's bad design on my part, but on the other hand the guy who gets all 4 is doing well for himself, so that's a self-correcting mechanism that's good design...

this is also an issue in formats with small card pools, though. for example, if you begin playing the format with Punishing Jund and don't know to play around Stifle when your opponent plays Scalding Tarn and passes, or if you run a Goyf into Daze or fetch when they have a Port or whatever you...

remember in that format it basically turned rustrazor butcher into serrated arrows (or fallen ferromancer, kinda) i've tried callous oppressor, i like it a fair bit but that blue 3-slot is super-clogged. everyone should have a card like that in their cubes, i think, and my favorite is helm of...
