    General Battlecruiser/dragon cube theory

    @ the question about PTR considering all cards, it's likely because the rares in the sets make up such a small percentage of a retail format. For a cube, I'd do the whole thing. Another thing is to include removal that is effective against your non dragons like Smother and Jaya's Greeting. You...

    Totally forgot about this card, as I'd opted out of split cards quite a while ago for this format. The additional text to read and questions about CMC (relevant here) for the casual players who often play with me seems like a bit much.

    Safewright Quest vs Elfhame Palace Wondering how you guys feel these stack up. Quest can grab a dual but isn't really a land, although it does play similarly to Ash Barrens. Then Elfhame can basically be any lower power GW land, as I'm considering Safewright as a land slot.

    General +1/+1 counters in 2020

    This is a little stupid, but I think it's really cute to proliferate your Vivid lands.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I like it if you have a GB sac deck. It's an under costed (unless you're at powermax) reanimation spell that makes you work for it. It can also act as a counter for a kill spell, which is a very green thing to be. It's an over costed blink, as well. Seems super flexible but needs a little set...

    General Tap/untap Archetype

    Inspire pairs well with vehicles to tap them without having to attack. Retraction Helix Gets better with the possibility to multi return. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker Has anyone ever repeatedly untapped this before? Could be useful, I dunno. Twin not as good here because it's ineffective to...

    Of those four, I think I'm only running Healer. 2/2 for 2 is plenty respectable in my format and I suspect it is in yours, as well. I'm running quasi because flash is too strong in my format and I prefer to enable a faster second use that doesn't plus, but I'm low power. I think Onder was on...

    Card/Deck Wx Cycling

    My current WIP contains a blink deck around Astral SlideAstral DriftEscape Protocol instead of the typical enablers. They're also there to pseudo morph things. I've got all the green ramp stuff inscho listed. Worth noting that those green dudes are reanimation targets, as well. I'm looking...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Yep, and I've already got 'em. :) I think I've got a good density of falsely high CMC cards now. Been trimming cards from the list little by little. It's super bloated as is.

    Stitcher is fucking ridiculous as this kind of effect. This one isn't close for "mill me" effects. Now, if you wanted to compare faerie to another ninja enabler and say it can enable dredge as a plus, that might be a fight.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Yep. I did take a long look at Draco, but I think SIXTEEN is a bit too powerful for this and it might send someone into a basically nonexistent 5c deck. I don't have shocks or duals in this theoretical environment, either. It's really low powered.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I'm looking for cards that have a higher CMC than what you'll cast them for. I already searched for delve, convoke, and affinity. I also searched "costs" "less" and for "rather than paying". There's also morphs and cycling as alternative options. Looking for stuff to support cards like Blast of...

    Seems I may have underestimated the power of "Equip {2}{G}, Skip your draw step, Mill 2" Might give it a whirl sometime.

    Boar Umbra is an uncommon, so it must be the best one! Umbra is better than Elephant assuming you'll protect something better than the token. So it depends if you expect this to go down t3 and what your 2 drops look like. Elephant is better in lower power where the 3/3 beats your two drops...

    Agreed. If you're looking for a sweet zombie, then, yes. That one's pretty sweet.

    Sets [IKO] Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

    I forget who it was, but someone played, I believe, singleton RDW at a PT. I think they were trying to show how stupidly redundant RDW is. Burn and small dudes. Done. As for the companion shit, I agree that the cards needed to be significantly milder incentives. I wouldn't even let the black...

    Wow, y'all really gonna diss the OG? ROE or nothin' over here! I hate Rec Sage as an ETB +1 with tempo. I'd consider Wilt or Back to Nature if you're really looking for this effect. My suggestions might be crap, as The Black Cube gets to run such diverse removal. I'd suggest Anguished...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I'd run both for sure. They're lands that any deck will play, except maybe the aggro-est deck avoids Barrens. That's the kind of fixing I'm after until we get inundated with it to a point where 5C is common. I've only seen one deck out in The Black Cube and I looped Stitcher's Supplier off of...
