I think the standard is playing 3-4 gold cards per guild in a 360 cube, with 40-60 mana fixing lands (not including the utility land draft). If you want to bump this to 15-17 cards per guild, you'll need to very aware of the mana support. The two main reasons that original Ravnica is such a slow...

Ha, no! I modeled Zapp after the Futurama character of the same name: white because he's in the good guys' army, red because he is impulsive. He's further known to be incompetent (+2 does damage to yourself), and he's the king of pyrrhic victories, as most of his "accomplishments" have been...

Zapp Brannigan {1}{r}{w} Planeswalker - Zapp +2: Zapp Branigan deals 2 damage to you. -1: Put three 1/1 red creature tokens with haste and "All creatures able to block this creature do so" onto the battlefield. Sacrifice those creatures at end of turn. -5: Sacrifice all creatures you control...

I don't like Bookmark for reasons previously stated by others. Getting any effect stapled on to a fetch, even if it costs mana, is insane! To offset this the Bookmark cost should be significantly higher than the spell would normally cost. The spell itself should probably cost more as well. The...

I enjoyed it. Especially because it seemed tailor made for my username :)

No comment. Anyway. We haven't really settled on any mechanics have we? Landfall and landstorm are the only ones that have gained any traction so far, so there's definitely room for more.

Restoration Angel says non-Angel creature?

What, you don't think there's room for more mechanics that promote interesting play in a 360 cube than the few we arrived at?

Wow... Don't post with Dutch spellchecker when you're tired... :) Should be: "Jason said something about this one-drop:"

Jason Saïd something Aboutaleb this one-drop: vault skirge It's at a nice intersection with the artifact deck.

I don't think it's quite that bad, but yes, not every mechanic should be ported over and the mana costs should be adjusted to reflect the difference in curve (low drops have to be stronger in hearthstone because you are guaranteed to hit the mana for your haymakers). It was an exercise to see if...

I think you're almost spot on in your evaluation, though Windfury is decidedly less good than double strike because the creature doesn't deal first strike damage. I also worded divine shield such that you can't use proliferate tricks, you remove all the counters as a replacement effect :) I...

I think that's just an oversight. The Mage can't cast weapons, because all of them are non-Mage class cards, and the weapon-wielding classes can't cast Mana Wyrm because it's a Mage card. The only way to achieve this scenario is to copy a Mana Wyrm with Faceless Manipulator, or to steal it with...

Flametongue Totem will continue to grant the +2/+0 to a silenced minion even: http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Silence_(ability). Relevant bits: Also does not remove ongoing effects continuously provided by another minion (e.g., Raid Leader, Stormwind Champion). However, ongoing effects can be...

To be fair, I don't run 20+ fetches ;) But, point taken. There is still a Serum Visions in my cube that could potentially be a Brainstorm, but I like mixing up the spells a little bit.

I feel squadroning should be done on any card that you want, by design, a player to end up with two of. Usually because the card lays the foundation for an archetype or because having two players pick one will end up in neither being played, whereas both would get played in a single deck. By...

I posted a shitload of mechanic ideas in the Hearthstone thread. Wizards could never print these as they are ripped straight from the Blizzard game (abilities, names, cmc), but we could! Most of these are basic cards to showcase how I would word the ability in Magicese, so not all of them are...

There are some pretty cool ideas that can be ported over to Magic in this game, but the problem is that some of the cooler cards are definitely gold. Unlike Hearthstone, Magic does have a color philosophy to respect. Silence, for example, would be primary in white and secondary in green in my...

I don't know what happened, but I'm hooked again (for the time being at least). That expansion is pretty cool :)

There's an artifact deck, a black inspired deck, and aggro in general that could benefit from double Drum. Wait, you can see for yourself: http://cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/6914 :) I was just going through my list too see which cards were nice to have in multiples in certain archetypes, but...
