    General Weekly Fun Q: Which Magic outfit would you wear?

    Clocknapper is absolutely horrid if you have any way to consistently recur it.

    Yes, if you make Reviving Grace a sorcery I think it can safely stay at 1W. Well, safely in the context of a Vintage cube, that is ;) Your discard outlets feel like an appropriate power level for Vintage cube as well.

    Some more ideas given life. A Sensei's Divining Top variant: Artist: Anastasia Ovchinnikova An incredibly pushed Reanimate variant (note that instant speed reanimation is much more powerful than sorcery speed reanimation, because you can use the revived creature as a surprise blocker in...

    Hmm... That is weird!

    Feel free to "steal" the idea if you like it for your cube, that's why I made the suggestion! ;)

    That may be my non-native English being at fault, because that is what I meant :)

    Yeah, Kamigawa already had a place in our hearts, and they definitely changed the look and feel of it. At least parts of it, at least. I guess there is a real difference between "here's a new plane, its theme is metal!" and "here's a plane you loved that we haven't visited in a while, we turned...

    I mean, it's on par with some of Mirrodin's or Esper's denizens. Moriok Replica Salvage Slasher Master of Etherium I feel you though, it definitely is a departure from the typical fantasy art direction in Magic sets, partly because of the backdrop as well.

    I mean, it's not completely irrelevant. You are right that not every common or uncommon has room for pushing the numbers, but most do. Trinket Mage sees less and less play in Vintage. mtgtop8.com lists only two Vintage decks that finished in the t8 of an event after 2019. Preordain, meanwhile...

    Going into your customs, I feel like the first batch is threading out of white's pie with no real payoff. White isn't the "cheat out fatties" color, and you'ld need to include multiple customs to remedy this if you do want white to be about that. I don't think it's really worth doing that...

    I know it's not entirely comparable, because it's not a DFC, but Sphinx of the Guildpact has the same line. I'm with Zoss on this one. Reminder text has no actual relevance to how a card works, it just helps players understand the cards better. In this case the default use case is the card...

    I suddenly remembered Caleb Gannon expressing similar wishes. I believe he has some videos you could draw inspiration from for your white 1st pick cards for vintage. This one has some cute designs. This one, specifically, delves into the topic of creating custom cards on the level of Time...

    For flavor and power reasons I would make that 'noncreature spell' on both ends of the deal. I wish they would do more white countermagic. The funny thing is, I opened this thread to suggest an aggro card with a Mana Tithe for noncreature spells as the adventure part. Adventures are a very...

    Cancel but one mana if opponent spent no mana to cast a spell, or more mana than they have lands.

    General Weekly Fun Q: Which Magic outfit would you wear?

    Real me is wearing shirts like the ones on Selfie Preservation on a daily basis during the summer. Unlike the peaslothosaur, I do like to wear shorts though :)

    Well, the lightning symbol is used in Pokémon cards, but energy in Pokémon works very differently from mana in Magic the Gathering. only on the Pokémon themselves. If we're going really basic, you have three main categories of cards: energy, pokémon, and utility cards, all of which can have...

    General Fight Club

    The Tezzeret art looks so unnatural, might be Francisco's worst MtG art, honestly. The flat face, the spindly, elongated metal hand. Unlike the old art, it doesn't even imply thirst, Tezz is just waving (?) at the potion. I like the FNM promo art a lot better, but it's still inferior to the...

    They aren't actual Pokémon cards though. They are Pokémon-flavored Magic cards, meant for a Pokémon-Magic-cross-over cube. I'ld say that decidedly falls within the realms of this forum, at least in my opinion :)
