I was never that impressed with Bloodghast but after trying out Quadcrawler I've found myself wanting Bloodghast a lot more, including in decks that couldn't/wouldn't want Gravecrawler for lack of Zombies or aggressive tendencies. Some examples of random value Bloodghasts I've had: - B/u with...

Whip is wonderful

Escort is cool if you're trying to protect something like Hero of Bladehold or Baneslayer Angel, but otherwise it's competing with a lot of other cards and offers an effect that's replaceable and doesn't do much.

that should be our motto

I clock in at a modest 21

Thinking quickly about cards that can turn on the BotG gods easily: the CCC hybrid cards (Boggart Ram-Gang etc) the SHM-EVE Lieges the SHM-EVE Avatars (Deus of Calamity) the guild leaders from both Rav blocks (Trostani, Rakdos) WU: God: Ephara - ok, more potential than most just by virtue of...

Yeah, this is ultimately arbitrary. I give not a single fuck for singleton, but I don't like running custom cards outside of a custom set. There's no reason outside of my aesthetic taste, which is good enough for me and need not be good enough for anyone else.

Clearly it's a good card but how many decks can actually play it? If I'm in any two of G/W/U, am I really stretching into the third for War Monk? If I'm playing tricolour cards I want them to be stuff like Broodmate Dragon or Nicol Bolas, where I'm likely to have the right mana by the time I can...

Just received my order from CFB for 1k gold Dragon Shields (across the pond in 6 days, very impressive), so I can finally ditch these hideous and aging black UltraPros.

Jace, the Mind Sculptor

'in response to Splinter Twin/Karn Liberated/Birthing Pod, activate Martyr of Sands' it's a 3-colour card that is rarely actually better than Kitchen Finks, which is like a 0.5 colour card

Follow-up question: 'how many of those people would never be invited to Cube if finding 6+ people weren't already hard enough as it is?' Answer to OP question: never :(
