So this is a once-a-decade occurence: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/january-9-2017-banned-and-restricted-announcement-2017-01-09

no, I do know they don't grow with your creatures. I also do know that your opponents creatures will die at some point in a majority of games, so a steadily growing/hard to remove threat is extremely good. Even just pointing a Murder the next turn puts them in a P/T range where they'll start...

I feel like if we didn't get Yahenni in this set, I'd totally run this, but Yahenni is everything I've been looking for for a 3CC sac-effect-plus-grind-engine. Whatever the case may be, two direct upgrades (imo) to nantuko husk in one set. Set's crazy.

I think delve + mass GY recycling is a great way to get around the problem of mass GY recycling generally not fulfilling the "AI" role discussed in the excerpt quoted. Your deck ends up effectively the same as before... Delve offers the opportunity to get the unneeded pieces out of the way (BW...

Beginning of Year Updates - 01/07/17 Happy new year everybody! with AEther Revolt spoilers freshly spoiled, time for some swap-ins, some cleaning up, and so on. First thing I'm noticing is that the number of cards I have on the docket for inclusion is steadily decreasing. I think I only ended up...

Let's not ignore the fact that Felder Guardian is a proper-power-level Restoration Angel, right? The immediate blink effect for that deck without any of the OP blowout

Wow Reckless racer is sweet. That's I think the best rummage to date. Also do very much love the Schematic. Multiple fodder pieces for Daretti in one! Also might look for a slot for Restoration Specialist. Efficient and flexible recursion has gotta be super good for white if there are good...

Very cool control theory. I wish there was another bauble besides perpetual timepiece that let you "shuffle any number of cards", because being able to leave the chaff/obsoleted cards in the yard is very good. If only timepiece cost a little less... It does seem like lifegain is a very...

3 At upkeep, scry 1 When you cast a creature, you my pay G, if you do draw a card. Daaaamn. Now this is some sweet G card advantage that can be utilized in basically any other deck for still-decent value. Sweet!

Thanks. Knew I forgot something. I didn't say it was better, or even that good necessarily, I said I liked it better. Card is cool. It's a scaling Triskelion that also provides a consistent mana sink. Nice!

Baral, Chief of Compliance is insane! That's so many effects that U loves packed into one body. Defensive 1/3 stats, mana advabtage, and looting??? I do love our new Double Striking friend, who will probably be reason enough for me to finally release my grip on mirran crusader We've also got...

Not sure if any cube applications, maybe a cool plant for someone looking to be creative. But look at the ART. Damn.

Love this card. Brings back a lot of sweet stuff, that is for sure. Feels bad that my GW is stacked already. May take some implicit GW support out of monocolor sections for this as my fifth in the Selesnya section (warden of the first tree?). Some of my faves: Sakura-Tribe Elder Qasali pridemage...

There are lot of sweet spoilers today, but I find myself attracted most to this. There's an obvious format power and speed ceiling, but lay of the land for any deck, much like ash barrens, just seems so sweet for overall deck and format health. Edit: That mythic says when you etb/attack, you...

Me gusta mucho. Chord of Calling for Artifacts seems very fun, the sort of toolbox effect I can really get behind, and makes me want to look at some cool utility artifacts mebbe. A toolbox like Brittle Effigy/executioner's capsule, Ratchet Bomb, Spellskite, filigree Familiar/Solemn Simulacrum...

One reason this is a little hard for me to grok is the the cards seem to work differently, from my point of view. I see the necromancer returning something with an ETB effect and also getting a turn of damage off it. Tie in to blink is apt, I think. The ooze seems to me to work better with the...

The granddad of this sort of "big" activated ability is of course Griselbrand. Not super low power though. One card I've been looking at for a Blue 4 slot is archivist Puts some of the blue draw into the creature base, and combos with Jeskai Ascendancy pretty hard, as well as the ooze.

mystic speculation Hedron Archive Coldsteel heart Still like a five card combo if you also throw in the engine and a wincon. I dunno. But it does have potential at least?

Again, this is where format specificity always has to stay a part of the discussion. If I only played multiplayer/2HG in my cube, Decimate would always be playable, because I have more of a focus on Artifacts and Enchantments, including some artifact/enchantment creatures (which can be two of...

The original context seems to be based more around a multiplayer feel. Multiplayer is often looking for the correct/powerful effects over getting one set-in-stone plan (so midrangier?). It's also usually a little more color forgiving, because it's also more time-forgiving, and can be lower...
