    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Continuing my playtest... I really wish Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord didn't grant lifelink to everything on your turn, because other than that he's great. This card is a great removal spell! This is going to replace Vindicate in my cube, which has been a bit annoying because of the random...

    Yeah, I like the cleaner version there, kudos for going with that one! I tested a bit with your previous design, and this new version should pay swimmingly, no doubt! I tested a single match with my new version, and {1}{w}{w} is actually the correct cost I think! You're bricking quite often...

    I'ld say it was a little bit more powerful than my current list, mainly because I played more walkers and my top end creatures were more powerful.

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    I've cubed with Ob Nixilis Reignited, and he's a lot fairer than you'ld think! I cut him more to make space in black and because I was already running Liliana of the Veil (which I've since cut as well, for other reasons) and I wanted to reign in the number of walkers a bit, and because I was...

    I've been thinking about a way to tweak Tome of Legends. The scrying part feels a bit inelegant, since you already play with the top card of your library revealed. I think I'm going to try out this version to replace the Spear of Heliod I'm currently running in the anthem slot: Tome of Legends...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Some more testing... This card was cool and felt pretty balanced! That static ability did some work in my test matches, and building around the minus is pretty fun (I used it to splash blue in my {w/b} deck by sideboarding a Gilded Lotus and a Sharuum the Hegemon). This card is indeed the...

    It's the mana cost, the power max community already has two Liliana's that are arguably better at half the cost ;)

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Part two: Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome card! I am pretty sure this is finally, finally the card to convince me to cut one of those two Young Pyromancers in my cube! Magic 8-ball says: Ask again later. I had no way to pump him, so all he was doing was getting back cantrips...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    I was testing against AI opponents, so you know they're not as good as a human across the table. Still, games like these do let me get a feel for how powerful a card can be. I think Sorin can certainly be a good options for a cube like yours, it's pretty fun to play with. I'm just worried that...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Honestly, pretty much, yes. I mean, I wanted to try him out because I was obviously the greatest doomsayer as to the new Sorin, but he ran away with games as I initially expected. In one game I was board stalling, without being able to attack, because I was at a really low life total. And then I...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Been testing a bit... This card is okay. Either you play it early and the proliferate doesn't do much, if anything at all, or you play it late, and the body doesn't do much. This card is very good. Like Thrummingbird, but in a much better color for the effect. This card is busted...

    Yeah, I like updated Reki a lot better than Leorian :P. Good to hear you already tested out Leorian, and if your playgroup handles him just fine, that's sweet!

    General Fight Club

    I think this one comes down to your cube's mana base. Do you want to support 3+ color decks? Crackling Drake signals a 2 color environment. Do you have enough fixing to even support heavy 2 color decks? If you want to encourage monocolored decks, CD might also give the wrong impression. In a...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Well, as a player, I would want to make sure my opponent wrote down the correct keywords, meaning they had to search all of their zones, reveal any legendaries, and keep the zones apart anyway. I don't think writing down the keywords beforehand is going to help all that much in terms of how fast...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    It depends a lot on the power level of your cube, I'ld say. You have a fresh legendary theme in {g/w} that Blackblade Reforged will be very good in, though! Gideon Jura also is a very strong planeswalker for cube, I actually had to cut it from mine for power level reaosns. Path to Exile is...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I like Tome of Legends, but I think adding the scry is probably a bit too much :) Who knows though, you're at a slightly higher power level than me. Maybe I should actually proxy that design up and test it a bit, as I do like it the design as a way to get some much needed white card advantage...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    I think Garruk is a likely next lead. As a planeswalker hunter you would expect him to end up on Ravnica, but he didn't, so my hunch is that they're saving him for a near future storyline. That said, Elspeth's storyline also needs resolving, and the Gatewatch is down a monowhite walker, so...

    Card/Deck +1/+1 Counters

    I had to power down GW counters twice in my cube, because it was too strong. It's an archetype that is easily pushed into a state of "too much synergy". I'm going to test the proliferate cards for sure, but there's a reason I cut Thrummingbird and even Volt Charge from my cube, and the reason is...
