Yeah I basically agree 100% with this.

I maintain that it's different based on the format and designer, and it's not all about simplicity, rather simplicity with purpose. Less Disperse and more the Pillar of flame and Dissipate, cards that solve complex and necessary problems (GY hate in this instance), while being simple. But I do...

It's a good cog, but multicolor, at least for me, doesn't want that. That is what the monocle cars are for. I want my multicolor cards to pull important and unique roles. There are probably some cards I could improve on, but Cloudblazer is not something I'd do to improve that situation. I have...

That's what I mean when I say it: "what my format does/doesn't need, particularly archetype support"

That may be so, which makes it basically the definition of middle-of-the-road good stuff. (And that may be just what a format needs.) From my perspective, Sphinx's Revelation provides a very focused and powerful effect for a narrower range of decks. That makes it more valuable to me as a Sign...

it is a good and well designed card, but Brago has definitely won the battle inside my head :). Thing is, UW doesn't really need this card. Its not filling any overtly needed role that isn't already covered by something with more focus to it. That said, I do think its a great potential choice...

There's been a lot of discussion/debate recently about this card over in the spoilers thread. I think that this is a very interesting card to be having this debate about, because I think it highlights being careful with how much a designer uses any one comprehension/design tool. To take from my...

This is pretty much exactly what I think of this card! Right now I'm actually having a little bit of a dilemma deciding whether I should swap in this card over Brago, king eternal Basically Enabler v. Payoff card. I think I'm still on Team Brago, but its a tough choice. This is a gorgeous design...

Very prudent advice :) While I definitely will be doing that, however I mean also using energy cards outside of a theme: Would you run Thriving Grubs on it's lonesome because it's a better Borderland Marauder? Bristling Hydra? And a smashingly good if very energetic analysis :D. I am...

So, I have a big dilemma with this set. Energy. It seems like a sweet mechanic in a vacuum, but it presents issues. Namely, it's another resource to be spent and kept track of, and it comes at a cost to simplicity and barrier to entry. We just had to deal with {C} and incorporating that into...

Not that high. Dramatic entrance is two mana more and has three more downsides than this proposed spell (card disadvantage, color restriction, can't grab a creature already in the yard). Oh, and it doesn't dig you to other useful spells. Maybe if it was like 2UGB and a sorcery. (Didn't even...

Sultai Charm says no

I am really liking this card. Rummaging for any color at the very least, and manaless unblockable has to be good? I see applications in lots of decks midrange beater decks that want to connect with their 4 mana 5/5. Let that seeker of the Way or Monastery Mentor connect, while providing...

That may be, but even in constructed it's hard to tell just how good a card can be. Chandra could absolutely montrously good in bigger, midrangier decks in modern. Examples that comes to mind would be Skred Red and some bigger Naya Zoo deck, where you are already pressuring your opponents a lot...

Based on your little end note, Gifts, Chandra is better than Jace in almost every single riptide cube. non-constructed level of shuffle effects. You get like 2-3 in your deck in RTL cubes that has double fetches. My cube you get 1-2. In constructed you have like 8-9. That's more than twice to...

Nice! Sweet late game finisher for blue that can capitalize on counters played earlier. Now my 6-drop slot is contested.... Gearhulk vs. Crush of Tentacles. EDIT! YESssS. Just what I was looking for as an anchor for Green to be either controlling or aggressive. You can beat down with the 5/5...

Drafted the KYOOB. This is my second pass, because my first go-around was hoping to be a sweet UB reanimator deck, but I couldn't find any reanimation pieces (Besides Living Death)! Was a major dissapointment to first pick Griselbrand and not be able to go in on it. This is probably due to the...

That is a very bold statement! I think in the grand scheme of things magic-wise, JTMS is definitely better. This is partally because of the cards and environments he's in (or is banned from). In cube, he can honestly be middle of the road. Sure he's powerful, but so is all of cube. And he...

yeah no lands with that ability, just 2 damage. she comes with a convenient other +1 in case the user is in need of mana.

Sadly, I think this Chandra is too good for my cube? I hope not, honestly, but this is Pyromaster to a whole 'nother level.
