    Controlling what can be on an isochron scepter is interesting, but players will tend to just put on a removal spell and make the game really boring. Also lets be real, until I can build-a-beast in mtg, I'm not interested :P

    General Old Standard Formats

    It's good to know there are formats that got better when you added a small set, that's been a point of contention among my friends for a while now

    Jesse mason has suggested that the one deck Meta game of caw blade may have been caused by the generous prize support of the starcitygames tour at the time, giving a lot of pros good incentive to refine a deck for rapid fire high payout tournaments, and it might be possible that any format could...

    It's possible I'm wrong about the tournament being worlds, this is half remembered bragging from a friend who ran a ub tempo deck centered around ninjas he called "the pile", as it was essentially all Commons and uncommons and none of the cards looked powerful at all. He played 3 copies of ok8ba...

    Not only were ninjas viable, they won worlds that year! A bug ninjas deck abusing birds of paradise for ninja triggers, and a transformational sideboard of one plains and 14 white cards I believe

    If it hits itself you get a loop going, which given that it damages you too, probably isn't the best

    Taamas' Cube: a contraptionless contraption of cards

    That I feel might not translate, as I've recently had to put in several countermeasures to stop my players from milling themselves out :P

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Alright, new patch is up. I've moved +1/+1 counters from black to white (Now it's in {G}{W}{R}) and moved the aristocrats deck from white to green (Now it's in {G}{R}{B}). I'm pretty confidant the +1/+1 counters change will go over fine, but I've never really had a successful green aristocrats...

    Taamas' Cube: a contraptionless contraption of cards

    There's two cards that's there's some debate as to weather they get picked ahead of Sol ring: Backup plan and power play. Good change :P

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I will say it's a touch underutilized mechanically, but they care ALOT about the conservation of design space. Like, for example, there's no creature with eternalize that: is larger than a 4/4 initially fights ETBs with -1/-1 counters etc

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I run both, but part of that is an effort on my part to branch out. I've got a pretty clear aggro bias, so whenever I design a card like this, it'll always have persist or unearth or undying, more short term, less impact immediacy type mechanics, rather than eternalize or enbalm or something...

    General Magic Pros Validating Our Cube Design shift from the Last Year

    It's always been a different beast. Constructed will always be defined by t's outliers, while limited is far more affected by the average. (Median? Mean? One of those. It's early :P)
