Where's your cube list? Are you doing a rebuild? I would only worry about Liliana, Dreadhorde General, the other three are just generally pretty fun. Teferi seems really powerful, but he isn't all that oppressive. Hero of Dominaria and Venser are way worse in that regard. Saheeli is just...

I think you maybe should say that it can be a mistake to add them as fixing for smaller lower powered cubes in place of lands. Unless you need the synergy, they can throw off drafts a bit, especially for newer drafters who don't realize how good they are.

Doomwake Giant Doomwake Chungus and friends would like a word...

Grasping Dunes What in the name of Swindon Works is this? Removal land? Kills your Dark Confidants, Oona's Prowlers, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben's, Young Pyromancers, Llanowar Elves... In the CT 720 cube this has 95(!) hits that it immediately kills. The 360 has 47. My old list had 39. I think...

Apparently this set is "an homage to Time Sprial/Planar Chaos," according to MaRo...

Flash seems like it's a really weird combo card nowadays... I'll just get free ETB and Death triggers off my Pelakka Wurm or cheat in my Woodfall Primus to blow up both of your lands, thank you very much... And that's not even to mention the famous Flash-Hulk combo...

I don't really want to argue semantics here but there is a pretty big difference between the two. Social norms are unwritten, ever-evolving dynamics which change slowly at a semi-constant rate. Rules, on the other hand, are written down somewhere, and don't change unless someone or some group...

I agree with you there. If you didn't have a playgroup operating in the same power band, I would be willing to bet you'd feel more like I do about the format. None of my normal magic-playing friends really have EDH decks, so I usually just play online or with randies at my LGS. It's extremely...

I've been running the signets for about 2 years in mid-power. I was using them in place of fixing lands since I'm a poor college student without infinite money to spend on magic who doesn't like using proxies. People either don't play the signets or jam them into every deck. They make drafts...

Hence why I say "arguably." Some people really enjoy it, and if people like a format, it can't be the worst. There is absolutely nothing wrong with highlander type formats- CanLander is probably one of my favorite formats. The problem also isn't the multiplayer/political aspect. Although getting...

I recommend everyone steer clear of Fractured Identity. It is such an un-fun card to play against, and it usually creates huge swings in the play of the average game. It can also be abused with cards that transform due to State-Based Effects (I think) like Garruk Relentless. Basically, don't...

What are our opinions on: Roalesk, Apex Hybrid I had this at the WAR prerelease and thought it was pretty cool. It seems to line up with my target power level pretty well, too. Any thoughts?

It's because they wanted to make an actual reprint instead of a functional reprint.

Beacon of Destruction This seems interesting... o_O Anyone tried it? Is it playable in aggro or does it require a control/midrange shell to work?

I don't really like either of these effects. They are very, very weak. I think Threaten effects in general aren't all that great in most situations (although I have blown out my opponent with/been blown out by them before in a couple of very specific situations). I usually don't like...

I have played with it in the past. It is really, really swingy. It usually deals between 4-10 damage. It kind of feels like a red Murder. I don't like all of the "draft matters" baggage that comes along with it, and I feel it usually ends up being more trouble than it's worth. No. Run Char if...

Thanks for your post! I think you're missing the point of my suggesting some of the "traditional" zombie lords. Not every lord needs a critical mass of other members of it's respective tribe to be worth the slot. Take Cemetery Reaper. It turns on itself, and it makes a bunch of tokens which...
