I wanted to build a format where tri-color cards were not only a viable option, but also a natural way to draft. As Jason so eloquently puts it here, supporting all ten tri-color combinations is asking for those cards to be picked last, simply because players won't be in the right colors. By...

Love it, but it never did anything while I ran it. I then tried Grindclock, which did get run, but is a bit one-dimensional, though I did get to play a very sweet game against it once in which I was able to copy and then destroy my opponent's clock, which he recurred, and then it was a really...

No, it's not nearly as good. Think of it as a Grapeshot that doesn't suck. The "problem" (depending on your point of view / power level) of Thousand-Year Storm is that it will turn Opts into monstrous card advantage engines. Sentinel Tower just converts instants and sorceries into damage, and...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/limited-information/top-20-limited-cards-2013-08-07 This is a sweet list actually... I remember Madcap Skills and Plated Geopede being pretty format-warping as well.

Pick up some straightforward mechanics that have a nice bit of interaction between them within each color, and seed them per color pair. That gives you ten mechanics, which should be plenty for newer players.

Quite. I wonder if he'll ever get a podium like that again in his career :(

I lol'd

I added it to my cube with great hesitation, because I wanted playable convoke spells in GW, and instead of it being overwhelming, to my relief it was actually just fine. Interesting, but not really overwhelming at all.

Ember Spray 1R Sorcery Ember Spray deals 1 damage to each opponent and each creature and planeswalker they control. // Amber's Prey 1U Instant Tap target artifact, creature, or land. That permanent doesn’t untap during its controller’s next untap step.

Varnish W Instant Change the target of target spell or ability that targets an artifact you control. // Far Niche 2W Instant Exile target creature. Return it to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step. If you do, draw a card.

I personally run the Mystic, which I think is much more interesting to build your deck around.

I'm curious how the WoW tcg rules would work out in MtG. Obviously they would have to be slightly tweaked, but the idea is that you can play any card in your deck as a land card. You can still run actual land cards, like duals, for example, and those will play as normal. I'm thinking a rule that...

I'ld suggest ignoring the rarity and just go with something that fits the environment well, rarity be damned. It also isn't the end of the world if the color counts aren't exactly equal, and you could easily put in another green rare. You could even swap out a green common or uncommon for a...

You advocate betrayal as a normal and logical part of the game and you expect me to hold no grudges if another player doesn't keep to their end of the bargain? It seems we approach this game from very, very different points of view, and judging by your strong choice of words and mine, I don't...

Looks legit, except obviously Liliana gets the final blow, releasing her from "a" master at last (only for the Raven Man to become the next major villain). Alternatively, Gideon gets the final blow. Sarkhan killing a dragon, and one that made him go insane for an extended spell no less, is...

I see Kitsune Mystic is back in again, but with only five auras that the Mystic survives at most in any two-color combination (WU, WB, and WG), it still feels undersupported. If you really want to support the Mystic (and Tallowisp), in white you could add Heart of Light, which works very well in...

Well, agree to disagree then. I very strongly dislike players who choose to renege on a mutual agreement like that. Deal's a deal. You may view my suggested behavior as a threat/promise to gain an in-game advantage, but a) this is not about gaining an in-game advantage, and b) if people don't...

That is just premium asshole behaviour. If you make a promise, you keep it, even if it turns out the promise was disadvantageous for you. That's the price you play for playing politics, sometimes it blows up in your face. I would probably go after him every game after that, just to drive the...

Oho, this one's quite brilliant :D (link)
