Booster Tutor is a lot of fun. As a one mana instant, there's plenty of decks that will use it. It's a lowkey 5c payoff, as the deck has more viable cards in a random pack. I can't imagine cutting it.

Couple more than me.

I almost said something but didn't wanna nitpick. Quite a few low-word sweepers in general, which is great.

My goal is to have a skeleton of cards that are really basic with more interesting cards mixed in. I think that having a few cards per pack that require almost no reading will really speed things along. I've been talking to one of my beginners recently about what they find most difficult during...

With my playgroup moving towards more and more beginners (in the no COVID era a year from now... U! S! A!), I'm looking for cards with low amounts of text but a significant impact. I searched for vanilla and french vanilla creatures already, as that seemed obvious, but it gets trickier from...

"Looking for 200 cards" seems fine. Worlds 05 https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=9254&f=ST Worlds 06 https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=9255&f=ST PT Honolulu https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=9219&f=ST I kind of love that we always end up in Rav no matter what we do.

Seriously couldn't believe it when I saw that Zoss forgot Gallowbraid. SMH my head.

Yeah. A list would be really cool and might exist. I figure there's not THAT many with significant printings anyways, though. Most are one and done. ci: will search for color identity on scryfall.

I'm looking for mechanics that are going to have a lot of cards. Kicker, Cycling, Flashback immediately come to mind. Trying to make my format more beginner friendly and would like to decrease the overall number of mechanics where I can.

Dack's a huge issue in so many situations. Definitely avoid it unless you enjoy super swingy games. Slime is really cool, but it's slow or it's all sacrificed off very quickly. Definitely a card I frequently want to use but never makes the cut.

Cool. Now my players REALLY won't know what the back of their card does. AND we get a lot of Snow stuff that won't interact with any new cards for another decade!

If you've ever played with or against Maelstrom Wanderer, which I hated when I played Commander because the deck basically builds itself and is void of significant decisions, you know what an issue this Lotus is. It's also a super lazy, cash-grab design. That's my bigger issue with it. You can...

My lower powered aritfact cube idea https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/5e6e8c837d65df45f5d58ad8 Oudated by a few sets, sadly.

Kinsbaile will be a roleplayer in places that need it, which is great. Nothing overwhelming, but a decent option to have around. I personally find Kithkin so ugly and irritating that they only showed up once ever to support their own tribal mechanic. What's the point in making a tribe with no...

I've been considering going lower powered to not support their secondary market as much. I'm not much of a spender, but I definitely disagree with a lot of how they handle things and that's the only way I can express it. Most of the game is pretty good, but they throw 1-3 absolute bullshit cards...

Honestly, I hate Cascade. Total RNG swing mechanic. Doesn't get any more high variance than Cascade. It also can take a while to resolve, has 5 lines of reminder text, and isn't an ability anyone who hasn't been fucked by BBE or Maelstrom Wanderer is familiar with. In this spider's case, it's...

Elf. Court. You're not aggro? GG.

Another thing to consider on this topic, although probably difficult to quantify, is usage of keywords. Specifically, something like Cacade or Encore has 5+ lines of reminder text. If you're only running 1-2 cards with those mechanics, that might as well be real text because people are usually...

I have a bunch of unusual black nonbasics and haven't felt the need to run any of those.

Is One Time a cube title? ;) I really like flying.dec. I always think it's cute for some reason.
