Not to mention that Ruinator will also be cast as an 'extra' threat from the GY while demanding their best removal spell. I'm happy with that exchange when I cast it the first time and don't need to cast it a second. It's going to be bad in most Cubes (most blue sections lean much more towards...

I didn't even realize my beloved Replenish was discussed here! A few ideas for it: Ones 1 Unholy Heat 1 Mystical Tutor 1 Currency Converter 1 Mox Diamond Twos 1 Jace, Vryn's Prodigy 1 Dig Through Time 1 Faithful Mending 1 Occult Epiphany 1 Lightning Helix 1 Prismari Command 1 Wrath of God 1...

Got a sudden chance to draft last week so the big box of cards I like came out again! A handful of the decks: Ones 1 Gyruda, Doom of Depths Twos 1 Scavenging Ooze 1 Saffi Eriksdotter 1 Grim Flayer 1 Apprentice Necromancer 1 Priest of Forgotten Gods 1 Sylvan Advocate 1 Raffine's Informant 1...

How would you react to this Cube house rule: the Day/Night cards work as usual except that you 'freeze' the time if there are no day/night cards in play e.g. I play [[Graveyard Trespasser]], it's now day; my opponent does nothing and it now becomes night; I sacrifice it on my turn, it now stays...

Yeah a big part of Magic's current wordiness problem isn't just that the cards are more complicated or do more, it's that the simple and grokkable stuff still takes so long to express in Magic-ese. Shaving a few words off one of the most common rules phrases is a big and welcome development IMO

Ardoz is super cool. Murderous Redcap ho

Yeah, I remember being told in 2014 that I would get used to the new frame. Still haven't, doubt I ever will, give me some thicc 8th Edition borders anyday

My feelings on this are complicated. The game does feel different in a lot of ways and is clearly marketed at a different crowd now but how much of this is that the game or some aspect of it is worse rather than personal priorities and circumstances changing? I remember posting here in the...

Big fan of this, have happily used it in all 3+ modes Bannerhide Krushok

Jace, the Mind Sculptor This lad isn't what he used to be in Constructed. What about Cube? I keep flirting with including it again as a generally strong card that also supports a bunch of synergies but shied away in the past because it was so dominating if played/defended early and I want to...

POLYMORPHISM The card Polymorph used to be notable for a few reasons: the phallic imagery that prompted the art to be cropped in future printings, a local cheater's extensive collection of Mirage Polymorphs, and it's uniqueness. Despite a few clones later (including the creatively titled Mass...

-- Puts stuff back into your deck for effects that need that (Oath, Polymorphs, Elvish Reclaimer etc) -- One of the few ways to draw a card for free at instant speed -> good with Miracles and the Jolrael/Irencrag Pyromancer family of cards -- Buys back the 'big finish' card if you can mill...

Reality Scramble A very cool/weird card that I'm obliged to mention in any retrace convo

Inchblade Companion/Expedition Supplier if you don't like Alchemy cards, but these ones could easily be 'real' and are compelling enough to be worth the effort IMO

Example WR Artifact deck (featuring some narrow and/or fake cards but also a lot of generically playable ones): Ones 1 Ephemerate 1 Galvanic Blast 1 Bloodforged Battle-Axe 1 Shadowspear 1 Esper Sentinel 1 Fervent Champion 1 Rabbit Battery 1 Inchblade Companion 1 Thraben Inspector Twos 1...

Playing with Prowess, Sprite Dragon etc really drove home how big the difference between instant/sorcery and noncreature is

Yeah, I forgot the Hogaak from that sample list but that was my finding too - even though I was worried it would be too much it does such a good job of bringing these different strands together and is also cool as hell

I really like the WGx Earthcraft deck (you can see a Naya example in my thread here) that has been catching on around here recently and I look for ways to fold a lot of themes I like under the same umbrella: -- WR Artifacts can encompass Tokens(/go-wide), Equipment(/go-tall), Humans (a lot of...

The Laelia point got me thinking: when the Cube has so many format-defining custom cards, how do you want the 'top shelf' cards to be distributed between 'real'/custom?

new cards are cool they should make some every day
