dear God I hope so

Thoughts on the scry lands? I'm considering including even the colour pairs that hate CIPT lands the most (notably W/R) since unlike most fixing they can be played for non-fixing purposes and it's a very precious effect for red and white in particular.

Everything seems less appealingly exotic inside the culture of which it's a part, though the gap there seems to be greater with British exports than most others. Just look at the remarkably unremarkable Downton Abbey, which has a cult following for reasons quite beyond my (or anyone here's)...

Jason/Eric: Can you rename this to 'Dom's Cubes' or sth similar? Built this to play with to showcase some of the cooler things going on: 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Noble Hierarch 1 Coiling Oracle 1 Epochrasite 1 Tidebinder Mage 1 Cloud of Faeries 1 Shardless Agent 1 Trinket Mage 1...

I looooove Devastating Dreams. I agree that it doesn't look good, but the ability to control how it scales and costing only 2 mana makes it ridiculous. You can craft the game several turns in advance around resolving a (DEVASTATING /zachill) Dreams, and it's easy to weight it to your...

To clarify, should the card be one that can/should be explicitly designed around on a large scale ala Gravecrawler, or a card that has some interesting/incidental synergies but is worth doubling/tripling/etc. up on anyway? I have two cards in mind atm, trying to decide which one fits the remit...

Did somebody say my name?

One of my favourite parts about going deep on devotion is that Pernicious Deed is fantastic again. I'd found the card was heavily underperforming, which was a real shame.

More test game shenanigans: It's Jund vs. Mono-White Devotion. Jund played Primeval Titan fetching Kessig Wolf Run, MWD copied it with Metamorph and used Restoration Angel to flicker it midcombat, getting Windbrisk Heights, Wasteland, Nykthos. MWD untaps, Dismembers a blocker, attacks with his...

For the love of God if you want to support blue aggro DO NOT cut Porcelain Legionnaire

Yeah, Bob has been harmless for me. Blood Scrivener is and will always be the absolute worst.

no

Blue's contribution to U/X aggro decks in my experience has almost invariably been cheap disruption, card draw, and 3/4-drops. It's very rarely anything other than that - the occasional Snapcaster-as-Ambush Viper I guess? The blue 1/2-drops aren't good enough on power alone to just jam a...

if you play Signets, 4-drops magically become 3-drops!

The monthly listening cap is really awkward. I'll see if I can dig up some old playlists.

Mission accomplished! I like the changes in general, I'd keep Mortars over Anger though. Does your Cube need another red sweeper?

You're upgrading your Kitchen Finks for a newer, sleeker model?

Thoughtseize has a relevant drawback and gives black answers to artifacts/enchantments/planeswalkers, which are all big concerns in Cube. I heartily endorse playing lots of copies.

Specter is basically a gold card afaict, unless you have enough support for mono-colour strategies that you're not stretching for playables.
