    General Auras--What works? What's worth it?

    General Auras--What works? What's worth it?

    the problem i’ve found with them is that even the little 1 mana ones like rancor and curious obsession create a situation similar to the Annihilator triggers on Eldrazi: if you can’t remove the Eldrazi immediately, even if the trigger/extra damage from the aura doesn’t immediately win the game...

    General Fight Club

    i think boots of speed is going to play a lot better, auras always suck for someone. tormentor’s helm is another option in the same color/cost that comes to mind EDIT: i have to say it feels pretty wild to be fetching either of these with SFM lol

    Titania, Protector of Argoth May seem strange but this gal getting REprinted in MH2 was a big mental tipping point where i started down the design road that ended in my current environment. until the reprint was announced, i’d put her into this place in my head of “she’s too expensive for me to...

    General What are your favorite mechanics that merge Cool Things with Winning Things?

    having played a lot of magic with decks and environments containing highly restrictive manabases, “budget” manabases, and Legacy style manabases, my personal experience is that high powered manabases greatly increase the depth and repeatable enjoyment of MTG. but fun is subjective of course

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    if you have the fixing to run tricolor cards, this fellow is also spicy for a go wide deck: Ghired, Conclave Exile And i feel whites contribution to the tokens deck more or less goes without saying, just so many good token producers in that color. Such as General Ferrous Rokiric! Note that in...
