    Yeah 100 % not Mirrodin since the flavor text tells us that these visitors have no idea that this artifact draws inspiration from Mirrodin. I thought about Kaladesh too. Tezzeret was on both planes but why would he design such a thing on Kaladesh when his mission was to confiscate all the most...

    This flavor text.. I never quite looked at it this way before. Thank you Chris.

    Four different individual sellers on Cardmarket.com. It is not their fault so I cannot blame them.

    This! Especially since the rules changed twice since most burn spells were last (re)printed. Just put one into every supplement product and in two years we’ll be over that hump.

    Can confirm. I played Nationals with that deck. I didn’t cut it for being difficult on the mana though but simply because better cards got released into Standard. Cloudthresher was only part of the 5-Color Cruel Control during a ‘small’ Standard. For cube.. 100 % depends on your mana base. This...

    When Onslaught came out it brought us the original five ‘real’ Fetch lands. But it also brought us Exalted Angel. A card that was so much more expensive than anything seen before in Standard. It pushed the upper limit of how much a Standard card should cost in $. Fast forward 7 years to M10. The...

    So I pre-ordered 7 expensive Companions in foil with the normal template to get them into my cube right away. I chose the normal template over the fun-template with less text because I specifically wanted the correct reminder text. You all know the difference but for good measure's sake...

    General M21 Madness

    First of all: Thank you! Just like last time this was a blast to read and I think your guesses are pretty accurate. Few things: The new Teferi is super strong! And also it is not entirely new design space since Teferi, Temporal Archmage already gives access to instant speed and thus double...

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    Tell me about Hope of Ghirapur. Do you know when to sacrifice it? I’m guessing the turn before villain plays their 5’th land in your cube? Is it worth to include even without any Ninjas/in a non-black and non-blue aggro deck? Is it worth it in a green, white or red aggro deck?

    I haven’t seen anyone die of mana burn these last 11 years :P But I have seen death by Arena.

    You know which one is more interesting :) And you also know which one Zur would rather fetch :) And they are not the same card. Mic drop

    It very well might be. I also suspect the cards to stay legal for sales reasons and then later get banned. Just remember Memory Jar was banned before it was released. This was doing the combo winter and we will probably never seen anything like it again.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Here, have a like :) Cool I thought they completely took that away from White since they didn’t print any white counter spell for more than a decade. I always thought, in my own little world, that the idea behind Mana Tithe was abandoned but that the card was iconic enough that players would...

    General Companions, Yay or nay?

    So they all 10 dodged Standard again. 9/10 dodged Vintage. 8/10 dodged Legacy 10/10 dodged Modern 10/10 dodged Pioneer 10/10 dodged Historic It won’t last forever because more will be banned in several formats. For competitive Magic I wish they would be toned down a little bit. For my cube...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    But blue does get 100 % of the counter spells according to the color pie. Yes Alara had one exception 12 years ago but that was before Modern became a thing. The color pie has been updated several times since. And Planar Chaos had one 13 years but that set was the alternate dimension set of MtG...

    Color pie breakage aside: Really, really cool. This is not an OP card. I like it very much.

    There is a watered down version if you are afraid it will run rampant: Moonblade Shinobi Same ninjutsu cost. Bigger body. But only creates 1/1 flyers instead of duplicating itself. I would go for Mist-Syndicate Naga as the mono-blue ninja. I mean, who are we kidding? :) People will be...
