A bunch of cards were dropped today on the mothership. Lots of neat and/or weird and/or underwhelming stuff! So... Mono green five drop...

Those are both sweet. I personally swapped out Dungeon Geist for Mistfire Adept at first, then Niblis of Frost, because I wanted slightly more prowess creatures in my cube, but I could go either way on this one.

I concur, but it does depend on the amount and quality of fixing available in your environment.

Let me translate that, because it looks like autocorrect got you good! :p toil spout = Roil Spout War priest of thine = War Priest of Thune mami of ancient law = Kami of Ancient Law Roil Spout looks like a fun card!

Elves and Birthing Pod are a good reason indeed, but why humans?

Gigantoplasm I was doing a strange "all sets ever" draft on Forge, which is a cool way to see some old cards, and I came across this clone variant I didn't really know. The thing that took me by surprise is that the p/t setting ability doesn't end at end of turn! I made some pretty cool plays...

Oh wow, disagree on almost all counts! That doesn't happen very often :) 1. Bloodwater Entity. I've run both, and while Enigma Drake can get huge in the right deck, it's just a pile of stats. Entity has more play to it, because reclaiming a spell can be really useful, and the prowess makes sure...

Keeping fetches in the draft, and all other lands available through the ticket system, actually sounds like a pretty swell idea :) I imagine the value of tickets rises once you've drafted a fetchland or two as well. Though you have to be careful to make sure someone with a fetch and a ticket...

Hydradoodle This card suggests you can get away with an "as ~ enters the battlefield" wording? It's "un" though...

That's a neat design!

I don't know, but I don't think so. I believe it's a developer "tool".

Nope. That's a different card! Gleemox is an online only card. I think it's the only official "normal" Magic card that doesn't exist offline. Apparently they had a bug a few years ago where it wasn't banned in certain tournaments. Clickity. Turns out the card is pretty good with...

Good catch! The [ ci ] version is from an online only set. Maybe it has something to do with that? If so... prediction time... Masters Edition IV: Amulet of Kroog Fifth Edition: Amulet of Kroog Masters Edition IV: Atog Mirrodin: Atog Magic Online Promos: Gleemox Error?: Gleemox Edit...

Looks solid! A thing you want to keep in mind if you don't run a lot of fixing, is that CC spells are as hard to cast, if not harder, than CD cards in a two color deck. For example, Vampire Hexmage is actually harder to cast for a {B/G} deck than Lotleth Troll if you have to run something like a...

The funny thing is, I abandoned the ULD because it was burdensome as well. People in my playgroup got it though, they knew what to look for, but they still had to think things over because the blue player in front of them snatched up the Shelldock Isle. All in all it cost more time than I liked...

Finally played another draft again last Sunday, and boy was it worth the wait! I had a blast playing a Temur Spells deck and got to watch all kinds of cool decks come together, like a white-based humans deck splashing green and black for removal and good humans, an Esper control deck, a tricksy...

You don't need the text, the mana symbol is enough, I think. Also, "Land Ticket" is probably enough. You are going to explain this before every draft, so no need to explain everything in detail on the cards itself, right?

Quite a wall of text Heymaker, but this is a novel idea that I hadn't read about in exactly this form yet, though I know various "land tickets" have been proposed here in the past. Has anyone ever tried that out? If so, you should discuss the results :) I was wondering about the player with...

Savvy Trader with the old wording tripped up a judge who drafted my cube yesterday (more on that draft later in another thread), so I'm looking for a rewording as well. Shifting revealing the card from your hand to the front certainly helps. His question was: do I reveal the cards from my...
