I cut all embalm cards from my cube when I added eternalize cards, because I find the similarity of the mechanics a bit jarring. I like the eternalize cards a lot better as well. I cubed with the Angel, and I'm kinda down on it after seeing it in action. In practice it's just an easy mode value...

Oh, I don't know if that's necessary. Green does get picked up and wins matches. In fact, the player who said he didn't see any good green first picks in my cube list, of all people, won a draft last fall with a {r}{g} Stormbind deck! I do think he's somewhat right though, even if the "no first...

Maybe: "Reveal the top card of your deck. You may play it (pay costs as normal). If you don't, put it on the bottom of your deck."?

I think Velrun's first suggestion is really elegant, a simple and grokkable choose 2 from a short list of options. Sweet and to the point, and the exile and play this turn is a good analogy to gaining a full mana crystal for a turn.

Ascend is a sweet mechanic, had a lot of fun with it today! Went 4-1-1 at my local prerelease and finished 3rd (tied for points with 4th place, but quite a lot ahead on omw percentage). Started with an aggressive {r/w} build, but abandoned that for an {r/g} build splashing white for removal and...

Lots of sweet replies, just got back from my prerelease. I forgot about Life from the Loam and Courser of Kruphix, those are definitely cool cards, and already in my cube :) Tireless Tracker is currently benched, because it often seem just a bit too good. I have a hard time evaluating the...

A player remarked last year that there isn't a single green card in my cube he would p1p1. While I disagree that green is that starved for good picks, it is true that there are less cards in this color that I am excited to p1p1 than other colors. In the past I have cut cards like Titania...

This article really makes me question my decision to run two Longtusk Cubs to support energy. It honestly is one of the only reasons to go into green p1p1 though, there's just more cards in other colors that do that. Idk... Maybe I should make a topic about that.

Dire Fleet Daredevil is super expensive for what it does. Its average sell price on magiccardmarket has already fallen from 10 euros to 5, and I expect it to end up just above bargain bin price. I do want one for my cube, but I put it on my "intrigued" list just because I don't want to spend...

Hex TCG has a cool system, but it still suffers from the same problems as MtG. Since the mana is still in your deck, you can still flood or get color screwed. Still a cool game though, if you enjoy Magic you probably will enjoy Hex as well. There's also a pretty massive single player campaign in...

The joke is great :D, but the card is awful for your opponent in combination with a discard outlet. Once you're ahead, just keep discarding your draw for the turn to your Psychatog or whatever in their draw step. Edit: Then again, is it less miserable than Consecrated Sphinx? At least this...

Energy at least is still a blast to play with though, it does have play to it, but yeah, can't disagree too much. Even though I still like a modicum of etb effects, the Chupacabra was not anywhere near my wants list for this set.

Yeah, that looks perfectly fine! I do have the basic landcycling to take into consideration as well though. On the other hand, at 5 it is a perfect reanimation tool for aggro, which doesn't use the basic landcycling much I'ld presume, and an acceptable tool for control, which would love the...

I was able to play the game with casual gamers who payed anything remotely resembling a tcg or ccg, and they were able to grasp most of the rules in no time at all, so I definitely think the game benefited from that dumbing down in the sense that it's now more suited to bring to the average...

Google "kekai kotaki warriors ghosts" :)

I'm okay with it getting a single 4 cmc card. When looking for the right wording, I stumbled upon March from the Tomb, which, believe it or not, was not the inspiration for my card. Instead I was wondering if I could crossbreed Unearth and Protean Hulk :) Search the Lost Legion can reanimate any...

In Kaladesh limited it was pretty hard to deal with, mainly because sorcery speed creature reveal doesn't hit it. The card is fun to play with, but whether it is fun to play against is determined largely by your removal sweet. If you have a lot of artifact removal and instant speed creature...

Oh wow, I played all five of these! I quite like the WoW TCG variant. It's true that it makes for some analysis paralysis, but no more than, say, Merfolk Looter does. Plus, you have Quest cards that are literally lands (with a one shot activated ability). You usually play around 16 quests in a...

Still looking for some sweet custom basic land cyclers in Orzhov and Gruul colors... Since I'm also looking for an interesting enrage card in Gruul, maybe I can combine them? Do these look exciting to play? 3/4 is probably way too much if I want to include stuff like Pyrohemia, right? Is...
