Why tap that creature? It's an instant effect, so I don't think that achieves much. Also, we already have... Dromoka's Command Including the fight effect would make this really similar. Plus, that still has the problem of the token not being to able to benefit from one of the modes. You could...

This looks powerful, but not overwhelmingly so. I would think this is slightly worse that Cryptic Command still, but pretty close. It's a shame you can't buff the token with that third ability. You could change it to "put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control".

Have I mentioned yet that THIS IS A BANGER!?

I don't know about that. I think Watery Grave is better than Skullport, and Watery Grave was really good, but not too good for Standard. Edit: the real problem is WotC doesn't much like printing legendary lands anymore.

I'ld be so down for that!

All of the rectangles are in one file. You can ctrl+F to find your seat and copy the rectangles into your own thread. Pro-tip, don't look at the other rectangles ;)

True, probably because D&D is way more lore-oriented than MtG. I mean, there is a story, but most consumers of Magic the Gathering do so exclusively through the cards, so it helps spelling out the identity of a card in the name on the card. That's why Magic so heavily relies on epithets.

Yes it was! Maybe annoyed is the wrong word, but I'ld argue it's not at all poor writing, if anything it's strong writing. It's not a very important topic for me either, but as an avid D&D player and DM, I do like debating over worldbuilding (which this essentially comes down to) :) I do get...

No, I didn't know Bruenor before, but I looked him up. He is a member of clan Battlehammer. It's literally his family name, which is why I compared it to someone called Baker in the real world. I'm not grasping for a reason to defend the name, I just don't get why people are annoyed that someone...

Definitely cool with that!

That's okay too, because sometimes names do match up. Most people named Baker aren't going to be a baker, but considering that it's in the top 40 most popular surnames in the US, it's not at all unlikely that some of them are, especially because we as humans are unconsciously drawn to those...

I think it's scripted much more organically this way. In the Forgotten Realms, just like in real life, your family name does not dictate your profession or choice of weapons. I like it, and I think it's really silly that we do expect those to match in a fantasy setting, and are annoyed when they...

I think I haven't missed a single rectangle draft except the first one, so if anyone gets to skip it's me ;) @Jason Waddell, @Kirblinx takes my spot unless @inscho insists on sitting their own cube out.

Hey, Storm support! ;)

Sure, but it's a supplement set directly borrowing its legends from the Forgotten Realms universe. The only choice is whether to reprint this particular dwarf at all. If you choose to do so, you can't really give him a battlehammer, or those who do know the lore (and who are definitely part of...

You know, just like in real life, sometimes a Gerald Butcher becomes a baker when he grows up. Battlehammer is a regular dwarven family name in D&D, not everyone in the family is going to be wielding a battlehammer though!

You can do only the draft portion, like me, though I am always more than happy to sit a draft out if there's enough players that also want to play!

Sure! I'm up for drafting (but not playing).
