Yeah, it's possible some of this will have to be scaled back a bit, but it's hard for control decks to work if you can't draft a bunch of powerful cards. Any ideas for other shards/wedges?

Ok, another probably-failed ground-up redesign incoming. I tried the approach of assigning each colour pair a theme/strategy and building from there, but it was hard not to end up with a bunch of isolated subsets of cards that never really interacted with each other. Instead I'm going to try...

Early thoughts: - With guaranteed land drops each turn your hand fills up very quickly, so you need a lot of cheap cards to a. dump your hand more quickly, b. have more decisions to make on any given turn, and c. ensure your basics/Guildgate sequencing actually matters (e.g. if you have...

ditto many of the Level Up guys; really anything that lets you incrementally spend spare mana
