    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think the message you should take away from Dom's post is that he thinks "all Fire Imps are beautiful", not that he thinks everybody should think "all Fire Imps are beautiful", completely in line with your point that beauty is a subjective quality :)

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think you're taking his comment too seriously. He's just saying he legit appreciates the Fire Imp art because it predates the current era of predominantly digital art. The "all" at the start of "all Fire Imp are beautiful" is already an indication of a tongue-in-cheek reply, and the fact that...

    Card/Deck +1/+1 Counters

    I'ld warn you that cards that enable you to repeatedly proliferate are very strong in +1/+1 counters shells. Evolution Sage and Grateful Apparition can, and will, run away with the game in such a deck.

    Also, if you're not on team pro-Fire Imp, you're on team anti-Fire Imp! WHO'S THE PLANE'S BIGGEST PIMP?! FIRE IMP! FIRE IMP! wooOooOoOoOOoOOOoOOOOO! FI!-RE! IIIIIIIMP! Are you with us or not?! ;)

    My initial idea was for the mythic "you win the game" card to be the only >2 colors primal cards. The other primal cards are slated to be CC (in all colors) and CD (maybe CCDD or CCD, not in all color pairs) cards. I was actually contemplating skewing the set to include slightly more green cards...

    To that I say, you've got to start somewhere! Besides, Affinity is a thing in modern, despite the mechanic showing up in only one block. Poison is a thing, despite being very linear and only showing up in one block. And so on, and so on. Playing the basic lands to support my cards doesn't...

    On the other hand, if someone across you is gathering basic lands like crazy in a hypothetical constructed format where this is legal, you bet you're sweating whether they get there and whether they have this in hand ;) I think I like the "At the beginning of your next upkeep, you win the game"...

    Actually, that's great to hear. Useless mythics are the best! As long as they appeal to someone, that is. Can I ask you another question?. How would you rate this card. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Door to Nothingness Quoting one of the reviews of this card: "I saw someone win with it...

    Wait, that means you think even the original version is too weak then? That's perfect! Because if that's the case, that is exactly the kind of mythic I'm shooting for. Some Johnny will dream of winning with it, but it won't be a tier 1 deck. I was afraid it was too powerful, I wasn't afraid it...

    Downsides are: more text and clutter, less elegant, higher total mana cost. Of course, upsides can be considered downsides and vice versa. It's fine by me if the card is a dead card before you have 10-15 lands, that's a great inherent risk for running this card. On the other hand, maybe 10...

    That's a bit too much fluff, I think. Also, the Primal ability in concert with the mana cost already ensures two of each basic land (except Wastes). But... there's an idea here that I like! What about "At the beginning of your next upkeep, you win the game"? Thanks, the non-native speaker...

    Seb McKinnon! :D This is a pretty insane card o_O What do you do if you're the opponent? Search your best card? Or do you live in fear of the mill?

    General MTG is turning into an eSport. Can it succeed?

    So, Arena is pretty succesful, isn't it? Snapshot shows 3.3k viewers, vs. 10.3k for Hearthstone. It's not like they're blowing Hearthstone out of the waters, but I don't think MtGO ever came this "close"?

    Taking a look at Zero's black cards... I like Abyssal Stalker's return clause, very unique. Dark Bargain is a great riff on Sign in Blood! It gets an unusual card type into the yard for delirium purposes, if you're interested in that, and it's an enchantment for those running that theme in...

    Inspired by the MSME2 league, I'm having a lot of fun designing a set of my own at the moment. It revolves around colorless mana, which means I finally get to use Peter Mohrbacher's angelarium artworks because of all the clear frames! :D Opposing the Idols (who hail from a world where color...
