Yeah I'd advise against signets if possible. You already have a boatload of 2 mana rocks, with all the myr included! The artifacty themes that have worked really well for me (and others 'round here) is daretti, scrap savanttezzeret, agent of bolasgrand architect These three enable artifacts as a...

I've seen only good things out of lowering the CMC, as Boot talks about above. Pushing some of your 5, 6, and 7 drops into 1, 2, and 3 drops will make games more interactive and sequence-y, and actually prove just as useful to fair decks as to what passes for unfair. Just a quick run down of...

It does, but there's only so much room in a green 4 slot. Worth having both? I'm not as sure as definitely wanting one of the two.

UG Flash here we COME! Like, wow this card seems very strong. In a deck with an extra land in hand, this is a 6/5 flash for 4, with two bodies :eek:. For me I think replacing centaur vinecrasher. {2}{G}{G} Pack Guardian Flash When ~ enters, you may discard a land card. If you do -> 2/2 wolf. 4/3

Interesting to here that about M&D. Card complexity/over-interactivity is something that could really matter for people with newer players. huh. Do you see it being a lasting issue, or just because of the newness? I third Jori En. I have her as a EDH commander! She is an extremely strong...

Just finished a 4-man with my buds, tried out Tenchester Drafting. Loved it. Love that we got to see all but 5 cards in the cube, and the decks came together very smoothly. We played 2-headed giant, but would probably do a round robin next time. The games were big, long, and slightly confusing...

That was a very enriching and rather soothing 58 minutes of my life. Thank you for sharing.

Agree with Onder on this. Colorless fast mana = little reason to not use it to make your deck into an aggro deck just by virtue of speed advantage. This effect can easily be focused into green, both giving it an identity and helping stop midrange brawl fest. Unless you want that. you forgot...

Continuing on my look through your list, I went to looking at the deck list section, which hasn't been flushed out fully yet. There was an interesting theme, however. I noticed that 2 of the three lists were a UR list that brings to light some of the issues and uphill battles fast aggro will be...

I think it's less about reanimator and more about the hate it brings against recursive aggro and the destruction of pod synergies (thinking 2shieldz, voice, finks, etc) You could reword it to virtually be a template match of Colfenor's Urn. Whenever a nontoken creature dies, you may exile it...

Wow, quite a list! A nice solid powered up list, generally speaking. That by itself will make aggro's job very hard. When your midrange deck can be slamming down moxs and blooms and monoliths, a nice fast and fair white (or red or black) deck will be slightly outclassed I'd think. To give them a...

Funny that those are the very cards it is bonkers with lol

Putting this article here as a corollary to and perspective of the Karsten article tossed around all the time: MANA BASE PROBABILITIES The most important table for us is the Single mana base failure for turn 1 table about a third of the way down. The columns are number of spells of the type we...

Got the eldrazi displacer, might as well go in on the geist-honored monk and resto! Looks like there's 12 white sources, which is just about ready for WW on turn 3 (one away). Have you gotten any data on trying out the Displacer? Interested in knowing how it works out for people.

Not every land needs to be as good at fixing for "aggro". You still have 30 lands that hit that, and XY aggro, as I've analyzed, only needs 3 fixing lands. If you do put mana investment, it could easily become 5 panoramas-without-the-basic-and-tapped-clause to match your khans just print more...

It could be printed, I'm sure. Again, ridiculously strong, but meh. Why not make it have a mana investment instead of the weird tapped clause. Kinda like the Panoramas? I'm liking your plan very much as laid out :) . I think there will be more consistency to this more even matched base. You...

That article is great but I think overestimates on a bit, and leads to some really problematic situations if fully followed. This is also a good time to talk about fetches. And to have fun over analyzing stuff that should be in the mana base thread. Here goes! I drafted a theoretical Jund deck...

Haha now that's something you don't usually hear from a paying customer :D. Being color pair focused is perfectly fine. I think your fetchable painlands would be perfectly fine too, just really strong. It's interesting to hear that your {c} commitment is still too low, even with free Vestiges...

Don't you worry, I've gotten plenty used to it in my line of work :p. Somewhere in that pile I said your manabase your rules, and that still stands. Also conveniently how Customers and Clients work. They like their specifications :rolleyes:. In regards to you and power creep, I was more...

Another potential version I've thought up is basically a fetchable Tendo Ice Bridge for two colors. The templating gets a little icky, but it seemed to flow well enough. One problem in particular for you would be that you'd have two different lands that use depletion counters, and in different...
