Radiant's Judgment

i don't disagree, the higher power a format is, the more important it becomes to go first. so it'd be correct to draw into the t8 (with a worse seed) for basically every limited PTQ ever, but in Legacy you'd sometimes play (with a possibility of missing). my own suggestion is best-2-out-of-3...

that card is fucking good. i imagine it's not cubeworthy, but those suspend guys were so good in that format that i think they're worth a little consideration.

I'm gonna challenge your premise. What sort of statistical edge do you think you get from playing first in, say, Theros limited, or RTR limited?

rift is a whole lot of fun

i think the problem is it sucks on 1 and you'd usually rather just make a big dude after that. it was quite good in my friend's legacy deck http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1117346 but that deck was based on GSZ / brainstorm and could, for example, lock Miracles with Teeg and...

you know, i think you've reached the point where might try doing the opposite of the modern banlist philosophy and see what happens if you took off a bunch of stuff

I agree with Ano, I'd worry about complexity creep and try to solve your design problems (chiefly "aggro can't win a damn draft") by other means, working your way up from "singleton card choices" to "multiples of cards you draft one at a time" to "here." Where's your list?

yeah, i think printing those effects on creatures in TSP block foreshadowed some of the more successful elements of NWO designs. i don't really like those cards because, well, you know the old joke about the guy whose first conventional cube play was deep analysis into discard, then future...

i'd love to say yes, but no :( lightning axe is pretty worthless without stuff to pitch. fortunately, there is stuff to pitch i'm gonna try preacher and contagion

ITT we will post cards that nobody else runs but should. Bonus points for counterintuitively fun stuff like Humility, overlooked gems like Imperial Recruiter, and archetype enablers like Life // Death and Lightning Axe. Probably don't post stuff like Gravecrawler and Blood Artist because...

have you played with this card? it's 1,000 times better than any mana dork that isn't deathrite.

The Etherium Astrolabe

and why not!

ah but secondary markets and derivatives and shit. it's no weirder than anything anyone does on wall street but yeah foils suck

Can we use this to Comet Storm the universe?

yeah i'm coming around. good post CT

my favorite card so far is Athreos, though i'm disappointed he doesn't count devotion to spirit tokens. i like everything about it. the design, the development, the name, and the flavor are all super-sweet

rolling back the negative opinion of the set for Pharika Athreos Double strike trample dude 5/5 Flyer for 3

nah anyone else think the new card frame was a joke? i've been trying to clean that damn speck below the capital H and capital F off my monitor for an hour and not only will it not go away, it also moves when i scroll
