    Alright one more: L.O.R.D - Eagle by Xiaodi Jin Dude woah Also someone tell me if I should be spoilering these or shrinking them somehow, my monitor is pretty can handle most of these fine but I imagine that might not be true for everyone.

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    It's such a cool card, but it's not actually that great :p It tends to play a little closer to Sleight of Hand than Brainstorm, power level wise, which I felt a little disappointed by. It's also got enough text on there that I can't really try and change it to power it up without making it...

    General Art Appreciation Thread

    So not everyone around here uses ranom art on the internet for cards, but I figure all of you can appreciate some of the cool ass stuff I find :D Here's some bomb ass shit: "Beneath" by Abrar Khan Reminds me of Dandân, but this is probably close enough to magic's current art style to not...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    As much as I understand that aggro has been overrepresented, It's been my cube mission statement to oversupport aggro :) I find the aggro mirror really interesting to play, much moreso than the control or midrange mirror, and I've been an aggro player all my life (in more than just magic. I'm...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    This is actually the base problem at hand: I've spent so long cutting things from my cube that I'm not really sure what G/x is supposed to be doing. Ideally, I'd love each color pair to have 1-2 options available that aren't Control, Aggro, or Midrange. Green aggro might be rare enough to...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    So I've got the beginnings of an idea here: Probably a Black/White card? "At the beginning of your end step, investigate Whenever an artifact you control dies, each opponent loses N Life" There's a lot of ways you could take this. Maybe N is 3, and it's designed to be a powerful finisher on...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Alright let's put this longform esoteric rambling in my cube thread because it's related to a problem I'd been having: Are Green's Cards worth a card? That's probably more confusing than inflammatory like I intended. So, there's a lot of cards we just don't add to our cubes; things we've...

    Sets AEther Revolt Spoilers

    That's probably better kept to your individual cube thread I'd wager. Given how different cubes like mine and say...grillo's* can be the specific swaps are hard to contextualize with all the different factors at play. I listened to the 3rd power podcast about aether revolt and they mentioned...

    I do want to reiterate that my issue comes with the fantasy being presented, not of the actual expression of the monster. In DnD, the Terrasque (sp?) is statted, and is killable, despite having a similar "god shuffling" effect. This is fine because DnD doesn't tend to pit players in "you lose"...

    General Format Appeal Crossover: Why do you play magic?

    Alright, can't sleep, brain taken over by point 1 (the aggro v control one) Here's a link to an obscenely long video of why bloodborne is so great, by a thoughtful youtuber whose content I enjoy about 20% of. The TLDR of that video is that the souls games (and games similar to them gameplay...

    General Format Appeal Crossover: Why do you play magic?

    While the title sounds too big picture to glean anything meaningful from, I'd like to ask you a question: What about magic (or other games) do you find fun? I've heard a few common answers for magic specifically. There's a handful of people who love exploring the new sets and learning about...

    I mean give it to the player for free, I've literally never seen it done, and a lot of the time the battlements gets cut from the deck anyways. I tried for a while, but eventually gave up and now just deal with the meld trinket text

    Read: "I'm bad at drafting fixing" and "One of the best manlands in the game" :P I cut gavony township for being too powerful

    I mean maybe I'm just inexperienced here, but Gavony Township and High Market are equal opportunity picks?
