    Leonin Warleader's art violates the Geneva Conventions. I think Brimaz, King of Oreskos is a pretty cool magic card, but like shamizy says it's a bit of a decision killer (at least for his pilot). That said, I like how he doesn't gain his controller life and doesn't put more than 4 power on...

    This is a similar debate to that, but it's not the same. Sir High Lord Kird Ape, Breaker of Chains, Duke of Burgundy, Prince of Westphalia was often being considered a mono-red card until some people started moving it into the Gruul section. I think Jason may have been among the first to do...

    It just doesn't matter all that much. As long as the ratios are close to correct, it really doesn't matter how hybrid cards are counted. The Selesnya section isn't any weaker just because it has a flexible card that another guild deck can use.

    I put my cube up on Cobra after the video.

    This card used to be played in Vintage and Legacy cubes. I think it was a staple about a decade ago, and I seem to remember it in the MTGO cubes as recently as 2015. If your list isn't super high-power, I think it's worth a shot.

    I don't really want Control Magic effects in general. I don't think they lead to very interesting play patterns. I like Lay Claim because it is appropriately costed removal in blue that also has cycling, which is a theme I support in my cube.

    No, because with Glare you can't tap lands. Glare is what opposition wanted to be.

    I agree with Onderz. I cut vortex from my cube because I didn't think aggro needed the extra boost. It is a card that I might bring back in the future, though.

    Because the nonblue one can't tap lands.

    There is so much wrong with these three sentences it makes my head hurt. First, just because you're playing a linear deck doesn't mean that the whole game is linear. There are tons of Magic decks where decision making is front and center. My favorite example of this is Death and Taxes in...

    Sets [ELD] Throne of Eldraine

    Would anyone be upset if I made a new Throne of Eldraine spoiler thread when we get some previews? The set code is ELD and it really bothers me that ours is tagged as [TOE]

    Ghoultree Any thoughts on this guy? He looks like a fun reanimator target that dredge decks can also just hardcast. He also has surprisingly relevant creature types.

    I mean, the first part of the statement sounds like magic, but not anything regarding the design. Unless you're playing a really bad starter deck, Magic games are not on auto-pilot. Even super linear strategies like Boros burn in modern have more options and more complexity than most Hearthstone...

    So, Throne of Eldrane is right around the corner, and I would like to predict the color of the new Planeswalker Oko: Here's his story description ripped from the MTGS wiki: So that's... interesting. In addition... So... he turns Garruk into his dog??!! That seems really, really cool. So...

    Hipsters of the Coast has only marginally more journalistic integrity than Unsleeved Media did back when he was terrorizing the Magic community. The opinions argued on that site shouldn't be given much weight. As for Owen Turtenwald... Who cares? He's not even playing Magic again. Obviously...

    I think we need to subscribe to the Hank Green philosophy and run our potential names in front of a focus group of 12-year olds so that they can come up with all the worst insults for us. Actually, there's a lot of good naming tips in here.

    The Magic Crumble Pie

    Backdraft Hellkite looks really fun. Fledgling Dragon looks like the type of card that players would ignore because it looks weak without considering the other synergies in the cube. I almost suggested Territorial Hellkite, but he hits really hard and has haste. He might be a little too...

    Ok, even excusing the fact that in current American culture naming a boy Anne would probably get them bullied at school, it's still not something I'd want to name my hypothetical kid regardless of gender. Like, it's not a bad name, but it's pretty basic. I'm a big fan of the name Scarlett for...

    Zurgo Bellstriker is actually kind of sweet. I completely forgot this card existed.
