Eh, I disagree with those card evaluations, Azami and Voidmage Prodigy seem god-awful to me unless we're in a very low-power environment, and a big upshot of this thread is that running bad creatures for tribal themes, even a few, doesn't work well. Maybe tribal is best in these nerfed kinds of...

There are a number of Goblins per the Goblins thread that everyone loves, but then after that you're hard-pressed to find someone who wants to draft Krenko or Goblin Chieftain. The nice thing about Mayor and Necromancer is that they're very close to being good on their own

Now that you mention Gargadon I guess we have 2 slots to work with, Diregraf Ghoul is a little boring but you could do worse. How about Guul Draz Vampire and another Cackler? Goblin Welder?

Well, considering most of us aren't doing the Bloodline Keeper thing ... The failures of Goblins and Vampires over here make me think that only Humans and Zombies will ever make the cut

the most exciting thing about Mogis for me is that R/B are already the best devotion colors and already the colors with the best hybrid cards. like my Rakdos Section is mono hybrid excepting the incomparable Aristocrat. I think I'll give him another week. Ephara seems like the strongest of...

Nightmare is the most broken Cube spell that isn't power and it's not close. It would take very, very brain-dead drafters to not just wreck with it

That won't work, Nykthos decks have permanents and Rewind is a draw-go spell. Teferi hits an interesting parlay, though Grand Architect, since he taps your Coralhelm for 2 colorless, is "Nykthos" in a sense. I still think those decks are really bad but delightfully creative

I know some guys with a server around here, I'm not sure we'd be able to 'share' it for this site's purposes but I could ask if y'all wanted me to. More likely is that they'd tell us how to get one set up, which happily is the worst-case scenario Cockatrice is somewhat annoying (playing MTG...

STORYTIME really i feel the oldest when i realize Kevin Durant is younger than me

Jace, the Mind Sculptor Wrath of God Primeval Titan Suture Priest One of these things is not like the other

have it go 14th pick -- wotc employee (gun in mouth)

I guess another thing that comes to mind is that I was partially unaware these were even 'problems' before really going full retard on my 2-of doodz

Pretty rarely a 'true' 1c deck but let's say that last 3-0 deck was 'W/g,' but I'm happy with the diversity of 'one-color' options Devotion gives us. The bummer is that Heliod and Nylea are both soooooooo bad along with (it appears) all the new ones (except maaaaaybe Ephara) ... I wonder if I...

Hmm, we gave Mogis a try and he sucked (he was just hitting a spirit token every turn or doing 2 when the board state was unfavorable -- in other words he turned out to be the worst nightmare of punisher mechanic stuff), though as this may also have been due to a bad MU vs. "the gravecrawlers,"...

It could happen if you have a bunch of fetches. Check out this "Kird Ape / Loam Lion Boros deck" from my buddy Paul Feudo: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=999131

you know, i usually hate kids, but i really like brilliant kids. i just started teaching piano to this 8yo girl and her pattern recognition abilities are exactly as insane as the linguists and other proponents of neuroplasticity allege, it makes me wonder "wtf i wish i was this cool / what am i...

I think Magnet might be Cubeable, or maybe its constructed playability was just a result of a really weird format based on Attacking With One Dude At A Time and Beating Countermagic. Bomb and the top four are both a go, the rest of them don't do it for me unless you're in a very low...

I had a bunch of design problems that could not be solved without breaking singleton

Not quite, I buffed control because the midrangier Naya decks were pretty gross. The little Zoo decks are still a major pain in the ass to draft because you need perfect mana (like 6 fetches and at least 1 fetchable dual of each color combination) and a nutty curve, usually it's just 1-2...

Anecdotally it got played more than Sprouting Thrinax and about as often as Wild Nacatl and Cruel Ultimatum, and unlike Broodmate Dragon it is a good card, I'm not disagreeing the Rhino is annoying to cast but I do think he's good enough wrt his annoying cost that something as subtle as a...
