    Sets Battle for Zendikar Spoilers

    I think the idea is that eldrazi are supposed to be that weird: They literally do the impossible, all the time. their whole mechanical identity is about moving cards to and from zones we barely even use. Hell, they don't even use mana like we do Of course it feels weird. It feels Alien.

    There aren't enough morphs to go around because you're designing from a mindset where Abzan Guide isn't good. That's where you start. It's real hard.

    Interesting how multicolored the Eldrazi are so far.

    Oh totally, I just really like the scrylands :P

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    Assuming the idea isn't for 100% of the lands to be Tangos, (which I'd be okay with), I'd recommend the scrylands over anything that is likely to ETB untapped. Checklands make these look bad, and start the fixing off a full turn earlier, while nerfing the effectiveness of tangos. Also, the...

    Rasmus Riptide Cube (360 Unpowered)

    Well, Shriekmaw and Bone Shredder as you mention are two of the strongest ones: Being able to be played cheaply is a huge benifit to a more midrangey, 4 drop kind of playstyle. The other two I run are Nekk Nekraa Nekrataal, who really has stood the test of time, and Skinrender, who's drawback...

    Funny you mention kahns, I've talked with people about including a "Morph Theme" in their cube, and (To follow FSR's advice) you do really have to start building a cube from the ground up with the conceit that morph will be a big part of it. Even just playing the "Good" Morphs like Bane of the...

    How do you spell Fa-hu-gu-gods again?

    Depends on how many creatures you can afford to take a beating from/Block each turn. Spellskite? Fine attacking you each turn. Elite Vanguard? Okay, little worse Hero of Bladehold? Little less so. Something like Vengevine is no slouch either.

    If you mean a red draw spell, yes. If you mean a card that redefines legacy, probably not

    Yeah because that's what I want to do: Pay mana to make a dude, then play spells, THEN attack. I feel like raging ravine had the growing land thing down, and another clunkier one might be a bit much

    I should probably bump the regeneration up a mana, but my conceit was that nobody actually runs hooting mandrils. It probably needs some work. RE: Protection in Blue, there's 3 cards that are blue, aren't white, and give protection (Since just having protection can be anywhere because of early...

    Also this goes towards casting whatever ends up being as cool as all is dust

    Ah, I was looking at the card on the right.

    Yeah I don't think after the artifact lands they'd be that dumb :P

    I think if we're going to get an Abzan Falconer that gives a better than kira keyword, it'd probably not be an evolve creature even green didn't get.

    I dunno man, I felt this way about shadowborn demon as well. Maybe I just want Grim Haruspex back again?

    Oh my. Edit: FSR, weigh in: Heroic? He doesn't copy auras, but free additional reckless charges is quite the dream...

    There's more problems than that mate. Firstly, I'm not sure I like the P/T being set of specifically delved away creatures: The best ways to get delve working is with cheap instants/sorceries: Creatures you tend to want to stick around. Alternatively, you can take the satyr wayfinder approach...

    I'm slightly more worried about the 3 color ness, but interesting idea. I think there might be a GR version of Grenzo I could make... Sentiniels has been fine as a topped without modified text, and vigilance isn't really what I envision my 5 drop reward card being. And again, I am trying to...
