They both can work together to make a sort of mini "hard to use blue tutors" theme. Intuition I find a little harsher of a deal because you get card parity in your hand, not card advantage. Bonus points to Intuition, though, for having a lot simpler wording.

Wolf Mom is good. Sadly missing the incidental lifegain of Huntmaster, but so many cool options besides! As for power level? I dunno. Middle, I would say? Likes a prior board presence to be maximally useful, and is slower to get going if she doesn't have that, but still capable of pumping out...

that does help a lot thanks! Props to the best of coincidental timing, I guess :P. Unfortunately I think my drafters would end up relying on the second chance too much, ie. we don't play often enough/they aren't deep enough into the game to really plan through what cards are actually in my cube...

Random poking-around alert. How is your double cabal therapy working out so far? You still have them that way, so I imagine fairly well? How is the card for you overall? Is it overly skill-testing, or is the flashback nice enough to be ok with fully-blind naming? Thanks! My backup would...

I like the thought of auramancer interactions! I don't think the 'utility enchantment' count is high enough to warrant it in most formats, but it could be powerhouse in the right place. I'm definitely happy with Ulcerate, but really want to see how I can maximize delirium. Especially now that...

That is neat. Would be cool to see mechanics that make creatures harder to deal with, that aren't hexproof. Gotta say, I think my one major wish for this block is that they don't drop delirium. Pls WotC. Do at least one two-set mechanic. Seeing mechanic flushed out more would be awesome, as...

Lots of good discussion on this. Soooo. Dead weight good enough on its own two feet? Too format dependent for effective comment? I gather that Ulcerate is a hit by and large, but some deadweight advantages I see: -Delirium -Sorcery speed -Permanent -2/-2 on stuff with >2 toughness.

Pyrrhic indeed. The pound is already at a 30 year low down 10%, Japan stopped trades with UK, it's looking to have worldwide consequences, and fast.

Can't wait to see what the front side is

Thalia for legacy D&T? Seems to fit the strategy perfectly? Even fetches come in tapped! And then the dual you fetch for, or you are forced to get basics! Nice. Bonus point for making sneak attack worse EDIT: Think I found my replacement for the Eidolon of Countless Battles I was looking to...

Declaration. I like how much play it has.

He didn't ignore him. He just kept it on the DL.

I'd say that this environment doesn't look to be as powerful as EMA. Also an important part of exercises like these is to keep the context. Not find the context. Keep the context. We no nothing about the opponent's deck except the Angel. We no nothing about our deck except what we have and see...

Hmmm. Very nice. My RG potentially a little jammed for this, but I like that its valuable pump and removal in one card! Neat

She does have quite a bit of play to her, maybe not as dull as she first seems. There's a really interesting mini game between ramping her out and getting more card types in the 'yard. Straight up turbo ramp rarely is also well positioned for delirium, so deck building challenges = fun.

With Aston on this one, at least at first blush. It's hard to cheat it in for full value, and it's the most balanced mind slaver yet (not necessarily a bad thing). Also can I just state for the record that even though I knew with 99% certainly she was the big bad, I'm still a little...

dead weight v. ulcerate

yeah, I know, and it's definitely a bummer. Same for stuff like intuition I've also recently put a lot of effort into focusing this sort of effect in green, notably with genesis. That being said, it's not impossible to also have some sort of recursion engine in black. My slots just seem a...

how have you liked soul of shandalar? Seems like a pretty sweet finisher for a long-game deck in red, and Moltensteel Dragon may be taking a well-deserved retirement. is the ability impactful enough even through removal?

that's a good point about the "aura" thing. Whip is a nice engine, but the lifelink really can make it feel like it's impossible to win through. If I wanted to keep that sort of engine alive, I have thought of potentially: corpse dance I currently run Reclamation and love it :) I'm not so...
