they’re…. so bad

i think you are going in the right direction here, better lands make for better games! if you’re concerned about getting too wild, i would recommend sticking to effects that have been printed on a utility land in the past. for instance, your desolate darkhouse could be the Rakdos utility land...

thanks! joined. hope to see you in there!

the Ben Stark Splice onto Arcane Deck from MH1!

considering that you have to pay shipping for customs, it’s best economically to make a BUNCH at once and then select which ones you’re running at any given point

sorry, i should unpack what i mean. Skaab compares unfavorably because it is more difficult to cast up front (you have to exile right away and then every time after) and can’t go below 3 mana to cast. considering that a lot of blue sections run low overall creature counts, this can be a tough...

honestly, the main thing holding it back is how it compares to Tombstalker and Murktide Regent

if you specifically want a 1 mana looter… does Bomat Courier actually kinda fit the bill?

regrowth costs less so an easy win for me. but if you’re doing some dedicated self mill and decks aren’t able to pressure you out of the game, revival gives you more value.

i feel like if i’m without a spell for an entire turn cycle (other than MAYBE the first turn), i didn’t build my deck right

like if you just sit there for a turn or two and let the werewolf hit you, you’re gonna be a down. A LOT. it encourages players to be interacting with each other because of how hard it hits if you’re not interacting.

i had it in a couple retail drafts and it’s super good there. punishes the opponent for not playing magic which is always something i’m looking to do

i think the lowest i’ve seen is 6 fixers at the end of a draft, typically i’m the one taking them like they’re moxen, but i try to stop around 12, as generally you’re running 14-15 lands in my cube anyway. i always keep the ratio of lands-to-drafters very close to 10:1, with slight error on the...

of course i’m gonna say A

a lot of “we fixed the vintage cube to actually have a decent power band” cubes skew HARD to UB. they’re pretty cool. after a lot of testing this is almost EXACTLY the ratio of fixing lands per player i hit on as the BEST play experience. the difference is i upsize the cube and draft pool by...

try that new looter werewolf tbh, it’s pretty awesome EDIT: cryptologist is cool too

the mana smoothing is the most important part IMO, the cycling and grave hate are gravy

it often comes down to what flavor of magic you want to play. i find that the compressed curve and strong fixing one can have in legacy and vintage is the most fun kind of magic there is, and i chafe when i’m drafting slower limited environments where little goes on for the first three turns and...

i like jacko quite a bit, it does a nice impression of chromatic star while providing grave interaction

Cling to Dust is probably my favorite grave hate ever and i think it scales really well to a given format. it lets GY decks have their fun for the most part while still giving you outs to the most egregious discard value plays that could overwhelm you otherwise. and it’s a cantrip! (i also like...
