I think a number of cards naturally cross the line between synergy and what you call strategy, simply because WotC pushed those cards for constructed or rarity. E.g. the Rekindling Phoenix you mentioned. Those cards are still naturally strong anchor points for synergy based archetypes they play...

Oh for sure, I quite like Singleton, and have played some Standard tournaments with Singleton decks in the past.

10 you mean. I think Rasmus may have hit the nail on its head. Step 1. Notice that Commander is a super popular format. Step 2. Make Standard more like Commander so you can lure those players into playing Standard! Step 3. ??? Step 4. Profit! Fits a bit too well, doesn't it? There's even a...

I am about to blow up. It's infuriating how we end up in this situation time and again Velrun, and it's never your fault, is it? I'm going to take a break and see if I have something more constructive to say later.

Sorry Velrun, but you literally described Spikes as having a "simple mind". I get that English is not your native language, but I've never seen anyone use that as anything other than an insult. There is meaning there beyond the literal translation. Then you accuse me of policing, when I call out...

I'ld like to start with this, because I think insulting Spikes because you happen to have a different point of view is not okay. We all take away different thinks from, and look for different things in the game, but that does not make our own point of view superior, nor does it mean we should...

Jim Davis explaining the fundamental flaw in companions:

This ranking is flawless. However... Evolving Wilds|AKH Evolving Wilds|BFZ All of these rank above the ROE one for me Evolving Wilds|DKA is the worst one. Also, I don't know if you do foils, but there are two more arts out there that are beautiful, but (unfortunately) only come in...

I agree with everything said above. It's a lovely design.

Agree to disagree :P

Like people said, depending on the speed of you cube, the requirement can be trivial to fulfill. In addition, this lets you cast anything at instant speed, for only 2 mana! I've ran it in the past, and let me tell you, Cruel Ultimatum is not a fair 2 cmc instant! I think the most high value...

I don't think mana burn adds too much, honestly. It was a mechanic that only triggered in 1% of the games (if that) back in the day anyway. The big thing is really going to be damage on the stack. I don't think it makes the game better, in fact I prefer the new rules, but it does represent the...

Apology accepted :) For the record, I have nothing against people who don't want to use customs either. It's not that I think that every cube would be better off if they would only use customs. Your example is great though. In this case the 'solution' might be simple, but I love that. There's an...

If you want analogies, I can give you a better one. Cubing without customs is like decorating your living room with stuff you can buy exclusively. Cubing with customs is like picking up brush and paint, hammer and nails, and using your creativity to add homemade stuff to whatever cool items you...

Done! Forgot to save the results for here :') Oh, also forgot to add the companions >_> Should I submit another list Tjornan? Edit: D'oh, also forgot Ethereal Forager. My 3's Fight as One Neutralize (edit: I had this as a 3 as well) Ketria Triome Savai Triome Zagoth Triome (yep, the other...

Also works with Demonic Pact! And scrylands! It needs a slower environment, where you have time to gain value out of bouncing your own things, but it's a really cool engine when it does work.

:)

There's quite a few cards I want to test and/or include, both from Ikoria itself, and from the accompanying Commander 2020 set. More than I had expected, to be honest. Here's my thoughts on each of my potential includes (and some others), sorted by color. Buckle up, because it's a list! Fight...
