    General New Format: Pioneer

    Hopefully the packs aren't 15 dollars each. None of the cards in this list of sets are worth more than a few bucks a piece except for the Modern Staples. They really should have also banned Aetherworks Marvel and Saheeli Rai. Those cards don't lead to anything fun.

    General New Format: Pioneer

    I am so Freaking Excited for this Format. I started playing back in 2013. My first standard was RTR // Theros standard, A.K.A. the Black Year. Theros//Khans standard is still my favorite standard format from when I've been playing save for the Pre- Ravnica Allegiance standard we had last fall...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    How about just- not skullclamp? Make it a better Short Sword and have it give equipped creature +1/+1?

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    Vizier of Tumbling Sands has only seen play a few times in U/G ramp specifically, since both U/B, U/R, and even occasionally U/W decks want it for the cycling ability. I think the card is best in U/G, but I also have a variety of other decks that play it. Ramp decks can generally get it out on...

    You know, I have not had a chance to play with this guy yet, but I am testing him in my next update. I played against him in ELD limited and he was pretty nuts. I don't love how he doesn't affect humans though- it means that he doesn't hit some of the important red aggro dorks Rhythm of the...

    Gonna quote this just because we need more Bernie Sanders in general.

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    Thank you for all of the kind words :). I like hearing that my work looks fun and I'm glad my artifact post was helpful for you! I've been quite a big fan of the enchantment ramp. I fist started using it when I used to play major enchantment themes in my earlier cubes. Enchantment Ramp has...

    General Current opinion on duplicates and other Riptidian/Waddellisms?

    I would argue, however, that the difference between something like a Young Pyromancer and a Delver of Secrets is when they gain value from a spell. If your opening hand has 3 instants, a Young Pyromancer, and 3 lands, then Pyromancer is for sure getting 3 triggers that game provided it doesn't...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Sai, Master Thopterist only goes into decks with a bunch of artifacts. Emry, Lurker of the Loch also goes into artifact decks, but she can also act as a self-mill spell for graveyard decks with the added upside of allowing for the re-use of Baulbles and Big Thicc Artifact Bois. I'm swapping...

    Use Giver. Mother being able to protect herself leads to un-fun play patterns.

    General Cultic Cube video series

    Yeah I'm definitely no lower than a 6 but probably not higher than an 8. My cube is weird though since I run good accelerants and really strong low-curve interaction dorks, but I have a weaker top end than most other present-day cubes.

    Actually it's a triple fowl since there's a chicken in the art!

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Most creatures will share at least one of their types with at least one other creature in the deck, so usually this will have a hit. Even if it doesn't, it's still basically just a Grafted Wargear that trades the Drawback for -1 toughness and an equip cost of 1. This.

    Hey guys I'm sorry my point of view was offensive to you. My intention was never to hurt anyone. I am just extremely upset about this product existing and this is my only outlet through which I can vent my frustrations with people who actually know what the heck I'm talking about. I will be more...

    I just really don't like the message this sends. Wizards has basically been saying "limit the whimsy and keep it serious" for years now. Then they make ponies. They've been screaming at the top of their lungs "Take Us Seriously!" only to make something that is the antithesis of seriosity. It's...

    S-tier as red and F-tier as green is just kind of the standard tier list setup. Usually, it goes from reds on top, to greens in the middle, to blues on the bottom. This particular template only used Red and Green for some reason. Davriel could go up in the future depending on what his next...

    Sets (ELD) Throne of Eldraine Testing and Includes thread.

    Savvy Hunter seems super cool, and it is backbreaking in ELD limited. I'd say give it a test if you like! Improbable Alliance is definitely a hit. It is at it's best as a build around, but pretty much any base U/R deck is happy to pick it up at any point in the draft, even without...

    I think you're a little too worried about this. Isn't a large amount of the appeal to this format the cheap smoothing and card advantage? As you stated in your first post: Going up to three mana for smoothing in black and red seems to defeat an important part of your original premise. You...

    Yes but I want real squirrels, not silver bordered stuff that you can't even use online or in arena. I get that these are silver bordered, but they're also an entire product not related to some weird hasbro convention- this is just Magic. Magic for a charity, granted, but still Magic...
