the only good thing I've seen on MTGS was the neural networks thread, which could have been anywhere

I want to put a good word in for this guy: Warden of the First Tree I wrote him off as a less impressive Figure of Destiny when it was spoiled, but it's been excellent for me. It's awkward that you can't go T1 Warden, T2 level + tapland, but a 3/3 on Turn 2 is impressive and you often don't...

I love this one

Yes please! To echo Diakonov, moving from conventional aggro towards aggro-combo both makes aggro more interesting (and removes the cap on cards you want to play but can't because together they make the format too hostile for Savannah Lions Dragon Hunter) and lets players draft combo while...

Anafenza: Excellent with persist, evoke, blink, mass reanimation, or just curving out. Precinct Captain: Works well with pump/combat tricks and the pseudo-vigilance it has is better than normal vigilance in many situations; also fine as a threat to board into with/against control decks as it...

Resto is great, it's a very powerful card if used 'normally' but also enables synergy and creates fun in-game decisions on both sides

draft around your opponent, who can't cast spells any more

Venser the Sojourner? Dragonlord Ojutai? Hussar takes a turn to replace itself, and a pretty big commitment after that. It's a really interesting card but your power level would have to be quite low; and I imagine your devotion decks would prefer to be attacking, unless the ground is clogged up.

If you want the mana rocks for just ramp and not fixing, how about: Unstable Obelisk

Waterfront Bouncer is really obnoxious, it's good but idk if you want to support that. Maybe so? I've really liked Snap, it's obviously great in tempo decks and it's sick with prowess and Snapcaster Mage/Eternal Witness

game-ruining bullllllllllllllllllllllllshit

Weaver? I hardly know it!

I'm not comfortable with the idea of Lucas as a person and not an online cartoon avatar enjoyed the video though!

Porcelain Legionnaire is a good black 2-drop IME

A. Our not having access to that data ourselves is deliberate: we only see the data when it supports (or when someone thinks it supports) the changes being made. It's important to call out the misuse of data when it occurs, because too often people fall back on "well, that's just what the...

Karmic Guide is still excellent IMO. Masked Admirers isn't and hasn't ever been impressive outside of a low-powered (and now Peasant/Pauper) context.

bumping for Welder/Reanimator discussion

Crater's ClawsRed Sun's ZenithDevil's Play Crater's Claws is the best finisher and most of my R/x decks have quite a few ways of turning on ferocious; RSZ is better if you have to use it early and I have a LOT of undying/persist/graveyard stuff that I want another answer to; Devil's Play is...

I fully endorse Dash/haste as well as Welder Reanimator (which maybe deserves its own post/thread?). Sacrifice shenanigans are still the gold standard for BRx IMO, WotC has pushed it so hard in BR and there's a ton of implicit and explicit support you can draw from other colours. It hits the...
