The Top 8 had exactly one Field of the Dead deck, prompting the Twitter masses to make fun of people who wanted it banned in the first place. https://www.magic.gg/events/mythic-championship-v Why are you talking so confidently about something you know literally nothing about and which is...

:confused: Oko appeared in a full half of the lists from the Mythic Championship where it was legal: https://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/2019MC5/all-mythic-championship-v-standard-decklists

If you're open to wackier options: Over my Dead Bodies

Here's an example of a themed aggro deck with a low curve that illustrates what I want: Ones 1 Thraben Inspector 1 Hexdrinker 1 Giver of Runes 2 Experiment One 1 Warden of the First Tree Twos 1 Wildborn Preserver 1 Scavenging Ooze 1 Nest Invader 1 Kor Skyfisher 1 Grateful Apparition...

Moving away from classic 1-drop aggro, especially in red, was a big step for me: - It takes up so much space as you care a lot more about the quantity of 1-drops than the quality. It's hard to rethink red if half of red's card pool is spoken for with cards that only fit in dedicated aggro...

THEROS BEYOND DEATH I went back and forth on the original Theros but ended up pursuing all of constellation, devotion, and heroic in various ways that derailed a lot of Cube sketches. My hopes weren't especially high for the reboot but I wanted more tools for each of those so that I could...

To wrap up the year: the PC didn't go great for me but I got to put on a nice show (watch that G2!) Wrote a piece for SCG on wacky Modern ramp decks that should be free in a few days

If you want to reward 3+ colours (and believe that the more the merrier) but don't want to promote specific colour combos, the converge/sunburst cards may be up your alley? Crystalline Crawler is a favourite; Etched Oracle hasn't aged all that well but I still like it. Bring to Light/Exert...

New Thassa is great. I like that in UG your effects that find/recur creatures can get both Thassa and the cards to go with it and the devotion requirement is surprisingly easy to meet in blue despite its usual focus on non-permanents with creatures that you already want to blink (Sower of...

Ahh that's fantastic, good luck! Let me know if I can help with preparation at all

tHoUgHt LaSh gOt A nEw ToY!! Thought Lash

That's not a binary choice. Do those cards have to be based on well-known tropes to be great or can they just be their own original entity with identical text/gameplay? I hope this set is more evocative than the 'haha it's an Akroan Horse geddit?!' flavour that original Theros leaned on a lot

I wasn't really able to track that myself - I went 1-1 with the UW Urza deck and 2-0 with the BG Yawgmoth deck (...and 0-3 with the WB Stax deck!) The power band is certainly wide and weirdly shaped

DRAFT 3

DRAFT 2

So at SCG's exclusive end of year tournament I managed to get THREE drafts in! I was trying some experimental things that I'll write up soon (along with a Cubetutor/Cubecobra list for real this time I promise no takebacks) DRAFT 1

Why is Balance inherently less fun than, say, Wrath of God?

I wouldn't want to! It's a sweet card that has added a lot to games on average in my experience

My issue with Squee is that it's just a physical card. I like it when my narrow rewards actually do something in their own right - Squee just fiddles with the algebra in 'draw X discard Y' and doesn't offer anything exciting itself. I also wouldn't list it as a three drop for the purposes of...
