That's exactly why I prefer it TBH :P

I actually kinda prefer this: Sword of Vengeance precisely due to it avoiding that feast or famine thing Warhammer has. The defensive keyword being Vigilance over Lifelink is the big difference in my experience, since that (Plus the first strike) really encourages attacking with whatever you've...

As much as I'm loving spectating this, I feel like I'd take it in a very different direction to achieve the stated goal - the presence of archetypes (Aristocrats, Humans, Reanimator, whatever) seems pretty linked to the mechanics and complexity/word count of the cards in the cube, while theaters...

I used something like this for an early draft version of a MTG RPG that used a 20 card deck. While it was in a totally different context (Decks had no lands, those were part of the "battlemap" for combat, it was a cooperative game, there were other reasons to commit to one colour or split your...

Kinda underwhelming tbh? At least in my experience in limited. He's way harder to cheat out than say, a Myr Battlesphere, and way easier to answer. He's not as immediately crippling as a Sundering Titan and I don't think anyone plays that anymore (Even though its way better with all the Triomes...

Oh my Edric, what big claws you have. Not only does Hurkyl seem sweet (Cast spells -> draw cards is pretty much always strong), its Hurkyl! Just need a Drafna and my wishlist is complete! Edit: NVM, thought she drew any noncreature, not one that shared a type. Still seems decent but not as...

I am so incredibly pumped about having Ashnod and another Tawnos. Flavour-wise, love them both, feel very appropriate. Love that Ashnod works with her Transmogrant and Altar, and while I'm less of a fan of Tawnos's interaction with his artifacts we already have Izzet Tawnos for that, so w/e...

Both Doms and Zee's suggestions sound like they'd be way less of a hassle to play with than the actual Day/Night mechanic if you only have one or two Daybound cards in your cube, so I'd be all for them. It helps that I haven't played a lot of MID so I have no attachment to or rules-inertia about...

Now you've got me thinking about it... Are a bunch of cycling creatures enough to justify its inclusion, or does it need more enablers?

I greatly prefer the Renegade. Better with flicker, two bodies at once with no additional mana commitment, 3-power 2 drop with a fetchland, better with Unearth-style effects that sometimes make their way into aristocrats.

I don't know how it will play at higher power levels, but the lil' lad and his flying older brother both put in good work in my list, and the nastiest thing they can do there is get back a Noxious or Cataclysmic Gearhulk. Definitely feel like they'd still perform well with better targets and...

Yay you made it human-readable! Thank-you <3 Yep! The hope is, you buy a turn or two so you can actually advance your own game-plan. I kind of don't want wraths for this format but there's got to be some replacement for the Wx control decks to create a tempo-breaking moment and this was the...

Oh yeah, Nyx Weaver is definitely the better card of the two, and very much agree with your reasoning - I'm just horrendously biased as Baloths are my favourite creatures in Magic and I have a soft spot for 6-drop 2-for-1 gold creatures.

I had been thinking about mentioning Grisly Salvage or Drown in Filth, but didn't want to make assumptions about your list/preferences. Now you put one of them before me and... I still think I have to go with Nyx Weaver tbh. As for why? Well, it's a body with a relevant keyword (Gotta stem the...

That's kind of why I want it to force sacrifices equal to damage dealt - a Seasoned Hallowblade attacking into No Mercy costs you a card, a Seasoned Hallowblade attacking into this costs you three. Not saying that's enough, mind, just that I do agree that a straight up 1-turn No Mercy would not...

After a hand workshopping a design for an entirely hybrid custom LRW/SHM cube. The goal is a mardu bomb rare that acts as a virtual fog or temporary Ghostly Prison by punishing one attack - Instant, enchantment, whatever - themed after the r/w Lorwyn Giants and w/b Shadowmoor Hags. The goal...

Am I the only one here that really likes Rosnakht? She's such a strong signpost for what your red section can do - go wide, pump creatures, make tokens - and you're equally happy with her in straight up aggro or aristocrats. She's not as powerful as any of the other three, nowhere near, but...

They managed outdo Reversal of Fortune on thirst bait and INN Liliana of the Veil for "screw composition and form, have boobs instead". I like anime and manga art - there are some amazing artists out there RIP Miura - but this is the kind of example that gives the rest a bad name. It, like the...

Ardoz is the kind of card that would make me build my cube around a Fires archetype if I was starting it today, and I'm sad it's not R/G for the EDH crowd. I did always love Primal Forcemage and Ogre Battledriver so it's great to see a similar effect at the low CMC it needs.

Oh yeah, 100% agree - I'd be prioritizing picks like Once Upon A Time, Abundant Harvest, maybe Oath of Nissa, all that sort of stuff. Lands is one of those degenerate decks I expect to see in a powermax or near-powermax list. There are a lot of premises in my argument for Gitrog over Uurg, and...
