    General I Want to Believe // A Question of Red // Is the Rosewater Real?

    Mul Daya Channelers' ability seems red to me. Balduvian Channelers 1RR Play with the top card of your library revealed. As long as the top card of your library is a creature card, Balduvian Channelers gets +3/+3. As long as the top card of your library is a land card, Balduvian Channelers...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I just mean it makes cards like Pain Seer a lot better since they can avoid the combat step. I think it would probably be good for Alfonzo's new cube, for example.

    It would be good for Inspired-themed cubes.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    In my experience, it has been at exactly the right power level. In RTR you pretty much can dump your hand without even looking at what cards are in it, but in cube, it makes for some really difficult decisions. It's a slow mediocre card that slowly gets better throughout the game unless you...

    General Multi-Picks

    snabadaha is right on. I'm mainly doing it for hard aggro, which some people in my playgroup like to run. One of the early complaints about the aggro picks was exactly what you're saying about Jackal Pups wheeling around and around, and it effectively made the packs less interesting because...

    What Percentage of Magic Players are Software Developers?

    About 50% of my playgroup are programmers. I'm a math teacher. I'd say 75% of the group have mathy jobs.

    Card/Deck Ahadabans Newest Least Favorite Card Ever

    For people saying it seems out of place, it's clearly for flavor purposes only. This character was born and existed in flavor-land for however long, so they are almost definitely appealing to the MtG comic and EDH crowd. Fixed I can understand why you hate PW's, ahadabans. It is definitely...

    General Fixing the Die Roll

    Hearthstone also addresses another "flaw" inherent in the game of Magic that is drawing lands. I've been starting to pay closer attention to how many games I win simply because I draw fewer lands than my opponent (within reason, of course). I don't know the statistics but I imagine there is a...

    Card/Deck Black Sheep

    There are several players in my group who naturally gravitate toward blue control decks, so Future Sight has seen quite a bit of play. I've only done a couple drafts since he became a creature, so I don't have much evidence yet on that aspect. It's worth noting, however, that it was the players...

    Card/Deck Black Sheep

    That's actually the exact reason why I run it. We found that the effect is so powerful that it benefited from some "nerfing" through being a creature.

    General Multi-Picks

    In theory, the idea would be to make things LESS boring for the aggro player. Instead of needing to auto-draft as many 2-power one drops as possible, they can relax a little bit after taking a few and focus on other cards that will help improve their match-ups. I will provide feedback from the...

    General Multi-Picks

    I've begun to implement the mechanic of "draft one copy, receive an extra copy after the draft." Here's what I'll be testing out first (may be a bit aggro-heavy, but aggro can't seem to win a goddamn draft anyway): Soldier of the PantheonSteppe LynxChampion of the ParishDiregraf...
