I run Sundering Growth, but that also supports a token theme.

I always thought I’d want to live in pre-conflux Bant. It is safer than the majority of planes; violence is controlled and ritualised; I could probably get a job as a healer (I work in healthcare); and the castles look like reasonable places to live. The countryside looks pleasant, though I...

I prefer the sword, both to play and face. The dragons help to end the game; the life gain drags it out.

I like FoF in multiplayer. I remember the first time I cast it, another player pointed out to the person making the piles, “you do realise Humpty picked you because he thinks you’re the stupidest person at the table?” Classic.

I ran it for a while and agree that it’s the GG in the cost that kills it. Green was a viable aggro colour in my cube at the time, but this was rarely played or good.

It’s a high variance card that swings between two flavours of miserable. Not fun. Do not play.

This is only true if you run a 360 cube and are drafting with the full 8 players.

Shipwreck Dowser Murmuring Mystic Quite a few of the spells matter payoff creatures are naturally wizards or shamans. And for those that aren’t we have Sharpies.

:edh: Seriously, this is designed for multiplayer formats where you can be more confident that an opponent will have more cards. Even if I can control my own hand size, I can’t guarantee my opponent hasn’t played out their hand. If I’m cheating or ramping a 7 mana value creature into play, I...

My fucking time machine broke down AGAIN. Sometimes being an interdimensional being is more trouble than it’s worth.

An advantage over Bygone Bishop is that Welcoming Vampire triggers off creatures that are not cast, including tokens. I like the idea that any repeat token producer now also draws a card. I don’t like how most triggered abilities are limited to once per turn, either explicitly or by checking at...

I found this to be a very funny cleave parody because it sits at the intersection between clever and stupid that matches my sense of humour. The removal of [text] from the title and flavour text means that the meaning is maintained: you are doing nothing more than indicating a permanent...

I agree about the artwork. Probably the most over-the-top dress depicted on a magic card with its organza bishop’s sleeves, filigree bodice and shoulders that are literally on fire. Olivia had to wear a train of blood to avoid being completely overshadowed at her own wedding.

Will there be a card with “Sacrifice a human: create a Blood token”? Why isn’t the Universes Beyond version of Savior of Ollenbock called Blade with a picture of Wesley Snipes? So many unanswered questions.

I remember when Visara the Dreadful and Kokusho, the Evening Star were considered to be the optimal black 6-drops.

If you want a reanimation target that can also be used as a curve topper in a more controlling deck it is best to stick to mv 6. Grave Titan is a bit dull as it can be chumped indefinitely while producing tokens to gum up the board. I prefer Noxious Gearhulk which gives a solid two-for-one, a...

I’ve not played the Regent, but enjoy having the Whale in my cube. It fits in both blue self-mill and spells matter decks, and being able to recast spells is more interesting than being big. I prefer the art for the whale.

She has to attack with two other creatures, so you do need to curve out for this to work. Despite this, I also run Gallia as a card for Jund madness, as she also overlaps with Naya go-wide. Xenagos, the Reveller and Satyr Wayfinder negate the trinket text.
