    Eldrazi can overlap, metalcraft kinda can't. Ah well, some archetype needs to be the worst. It's so refreshing to see a limited format with bolt, 2 power 1 drops and stormblood berserker though.

    Congrats CML!

    I dunno, if I had to design a reward for people playing 8-12 copies of grey ogre in their standard deck, 3/3 deathtouches are a sweet one. Relevant at all stages, not too small to be ignored but not too big to get out of hand. I kinda wish I could make raptor work in my cube, but that would...

    Article Learning From Pauper – Rethinking Archetype Design

    My pants decks were essentially like the heroic decks you see elsewhere, but with a wider range of enablers: Fencing Ace + Bonesplitter Spear of Heliod griffin guide Ajani Goldmane Vines of Vastwood Knight of Glory Boon Satyr Slaughterhorn vs Hero of Iroas griffin guide Boon Satyr Vines...

    I feel you on the lack of good equipment, but sweet Jesus that white one is insane! Do note that Auras, +1/+1 counters, Anthems and any odd ability contribute to how insane it is. Phantom Nomad becomes a 5/5 flying, Fencing Ace is suddenly an evasive 6/3, Prowess sticks, etc etc etc (Yes I know...

    Barrage of Expendables You know, I took out goblin bombardment for being too good, but I never considered if I wanted a worse version. Thoughts?

    Thought of something: :u::1: When ~ blocks, switch it's power and toughness until end of turn 2/3

    I've found the sweetest card to ever use in a Momir Basic format: http://www.hearthhead.com/card=2076/recombobulator

    Would you guys stick to sorcery speed removal if there was no dedicated pants deck in your enviornment? (Eg: Double Strike, Heroic, anything that wants to ride 1-2 creatures to victory) I've had the volcanic hammers in for so long I've forgotten what it feels like otherwise.

    Acceptable? :u: Flying As long as there is an instant or sorcery in your graveyard, ~ gets +1/+0 1/1 Again, blue needs 1 drops that don't suck. Phantasmal Bear is fine, but it's at odds with a lot of what makes playing an aggressive 1 drop worth it, delver is too inconsistent and cloudfin...

    See, thats more the CMC I like my game enders at. It's not even a question of feeling overpowered, its just an effect that feels bigger

    Okay then just print out some 88mm tall card scans :P Paper in the sleeve might look worse, but it still looks fine and it's 1/10th the work, something wholly necessary with so many cards undergoing testing like this :P Like, just imagine if maybe 20% of the cards you're adding are a biiiiit too...

    Okay, cool stuff! 1) Don't do that for EVERY proxy you make, patching will be a nightmare and the workload will be so insane you'll never change this damn thing. Let cards earn their spots: Magiccards.info printouts initially, and put the real work in for cards when they deserve it. Trust me...

    If I had to make a card that makes my whole team unblockable, raise the alarm is not the card I'd tack it onto.

    That was possibly the cringiest article I've ever read on the mothership. Yeah putting the rarity on the card was great, but god damn I've seen webcam sites with less public masturbation than is contained in that single article
