    General Gate Format Musings

    I mean, UG trampolines sounds fun to me. I do wonder about how much fun it'd be for other people. Jaddi Offshoot, Grazing Gladeheart, Soratami Savant, Plaza of Harmony, Vapor Snare sounds like some people's idea of hell :p

    General [DMR] Dominaria Remastered Spoilers

    The Eric Peterson Plains makes me so happy - That's exactly the plains I'm slowly hunting down copies of for my cube, and at the rate I'm going it'll be faster to swap to this printing than continue with the Odyssey version. The Richard Wright island is also a favourite of mine, but it's...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Oooooh yeah the things this can do. This bad boy is the first card to go in every single one of my artifact EDH decks. It is then the first one I cut when I reach 101 cards. I cri evrytiem :'C

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I very much view it as an all-in sort of card - I would only play it if I was looking to get it out early with like, an Ancient Tomb or something, and was expecting to cast an extra two spells thanks to the cost reduction. Even then, I want to be in an artifact deck that's dumping its hand - so...

    General Gate Format Musings

    I can read I promise :c Actually makes me like Heap Gate slightly more? Changes the line to: Heap + Promenade → Portal → Plaza → Guildgate for when you feel the need for Greed: {0} → {0} +treasure → {X}{X}{X}{R/P}{c} or {X}{X}{X}{X} (Or save treasures and pretend you took the Slow line) → too...

    General Gate Format Musings

    I'd like to add "Committed": Portal + Plaza → Basilisk → Guildgate: Committed: {R}{R/P} →{R}{R/P}{C} → as Fast or you swap the Guildgate and Basilisk gate to get your t1 development and still be able to cast CCC cards reasonably fast: Committed: {R}{R/P} → {R}{R/P} → {R}{R/P}{R/W}{C} You...

    General Gate Format Musings

    I quite like the Basilisk + Promenade + Plaza + Portal + Guildgate idea even though it turns off wubrg and invalidates the shops start for the simple cosmetic reason of "Not double guildgate" - It feels cleaner to hand someone four lands and say "Pick one of these" than it does to hand them...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I've found the Oracle to be pretty disappointing in practice, it's best performance was in a RDW list with a Kari Zev and Young Pyromancer where it was digging for cheap burn spells as a source of reach. Didn't really do anything in the aristocrats sorts of decks other than waste a pick before I...

    General Gate Format Musings

    I'm super invested in this, and of the presented options really like the chaos approach of any two guildgates. I had a think about it when you first posted it and had some musings on supporting like, Workshop Weenie/Affinity (Or whatever colourless artifact aggro deck, my entire thought process...

    I honestly really like that idea, genuinely tempted to do that for my next Duplicate Sealed rather than my current plan for a vanilla pool. Time to start looking for neat cards to use for emblems.

    I'd be interested in seeing a format where you draft your emblem effect. Sort of like Vanguard only you're getting a janky unplayable 5-drop at the start of the game. Massively affects how you build your deck.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I have a lot of nostalgia for Magus of the Tabernacle, but I wouldn't cube it - and I run a lot of cards for nostalgia value. Humility is cool but most of the time I'd rather have a Wrath or a Moat - if there's some cool shenanigan you want to get up to that requires it maybe? I just don't know...

    General Fight Club

    Not sure if this is the place for this, but it's the closest to being the right thread. Would it be nuts for me to make the following swaps in a low-power cube - specifically the Ana grid list linked in my sig? Dimir Charm -> Phenax, God of Deception Shambling Shell -> Pharika, God of...

    General [Design Contest] New Lessons to Learn

    Instead of getting sleep before work, I have instead continued to think about this contest - admittedly mostly from a flavor perspective rather than anything else. To try to get it out of my system, have a second submission:

    I tried this when it was first printed, and I run a -lot- of high CMC stuff. I was hoping it'd be the second coming of Firestorm, but it just isn't. From personal experience, Metalwork Colossus and Ancient Stone Idol give you that feeling while also being very castable without devoting...

    General [Design Contest] New Lessons to Learn

    I'm super interested in Lessons and Learn being more supported, and there's a wealth of MTG lore for future Masters sets to revisit with the mechanic. I don't think they fit the powerlevel proposed at all, but hey I wanted to make cards I would like to cube. Edit: Fixed hybrid mana symbols...

    Ana Grid

    Cube Update! So we're now back from that holiday mentioned in the previous post, and we did indeed get a lot of reps in with the list. I was tempted to include a full write-up of all the decks drafted and how they performed, maybe some tournament report style recounting of specific fun matches...

    While I agree with Zoss's sentiments, for me it's Magpie and Wonder, and I'd be giving Magpie the side-eye. That said, Magpie and Inga are closer in power level - I just like Wonder for it's ability to end a game. Have you looked at some of the Morningtide evoke creatures like Nevermaker...
