Yeah... If I named my theoretical son Anne or Thijmen, he'd get bullied. I think we should all just agree that all boys names are terrible except for...

The body isn't good, but I think this card is more of a combo-engine enabler than a generic value creature. You can get a lot of value out of this guy if you build your deck around him.

Why would I tag Brushwagg when I was clearly trying to talk about Elspeth? Like Daan, Bram, and Sem? Those are only marginally better than Larry...

They're definitely both cards that have terrific ceilings. It's just that the floor on them is kind of meh. Unless I were in a very specific deck, I'd probably want a Thunderbreak Regent before needletooth or hound unless I already had a shell to make them work.

That's ultimately the problem with control magic effects. 4-5 mana is too cheap of a cost to steal something, 6+ mana is usually too late in the game to be really impactful. There's no good middle ground cost wise... ...hence why I Lay Claim. The cycling fixes the issue of having a dead card...

I'm a big fan of Thunderbreak Regent, although it would probably be your second best red 4 in a way which is not favorable towards the bottom two. I like it as a burn finisher a lot though. Keiga seems like she could be very annoying. I'm a bigger fan of Icefall Regent for my blue dragon, since...

I actually don't hate Jace as a boy's name. Side tangent- Boys names usually either suck or shorten to something that sucks. Why would I want to name my kid Lawrence if everyone is going to call him "Larry?" I guess you could go with the "Italian Option" and call your kid Lorenzo (or the...

This is looking really good so far!! I would recommend adding a couple more dragons to the cube to facilitate Sarkhan Unbroken a little bit better. Right now, you're only running 4 dragons, 2 of which are not in the Temur shard. That works for Kaalia, Zenith Seeker (especially since she can...

I just started another semester at College today and one of my classmates is named Elspeth.

It isn't against aggro but it is against midrange. The cycling is for matchups where 7 Mana is too much.

I think it's less powerful than a raw Control Magic effect, but a little bit better than Threads of Disloyalty or Domestication. I like Lay Claim for my "steal slot." Lay Claim is nice because 7 mana is a pretty fair price to steal something, but cycling means it doesn't get caught in hand...

Blood Sun This card seems interesting in a bounceland format with creature lands. It is able to make your bounce lands better, while shutting down opposing threats. I don't think this card is good, but being a cantrip in red that also can help ramp that also can be good against control and...

I like this card from that Rail War set you guys were talking about a couple months ago:

All of this MH1 snow stuff is kind of making me want to sleeve up my Snow Lands from my Horizons box and add them as a 16th seeded card slot to my boosters.

But then the question becomes: "is finks a white card or a green card?" That can be pretty tricky to answer, because I've seen both white and green decks want the card. Also, if we decide finks is white, then what we've effectively done is replaced a white card with another Selesnya slot...

It really depends on to what degree you want to support counters. I run both Ajani, the Greathearted and Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants and they very rarely show up together in the same deck. Even though they both play well with counters, Ajani, the Greathearted wants to be in a go-wide strategy...

This card is more flexible Territorial Allosaurus. I like it a lot.

I feel like it would have been worth mentioning Wing Splicer when discussing Whirler Rogue. A lot of people don't like that rogue can just randomly make things unblockable. Wing Splicer adds the same amount of power to the board while being easier to cast. It's not as good as the rogue, but it...

I'm looking for some repeatable discard outlets. Preferably, I would like things that you can activate at any time you would like during a turn like Merfolk Looter or Noose Constrictor. They don't need to be effects that can be activated multiple times in the same turn.

I'm a pretty big fan of the classic: Drake Haven+Psychatog It's not infinite but going T3 Tog--> T4 Haven, Make a Drake,--> T5 Make More Drakes is pretty satisfying.
