History of Benalia History of Benalia does a pretty good job if you're okay with typal things going on. Approach of the Second SunFelidar RetreatPaladin Class These are splashy and end games. Mirror EntityParallax WaveHumility These are various levels of "pretty good" to "absolutely...

They might not be strictly better than shocks, but it's nice to hear validation that I'm not exaggerating! I'm of the mindset that it's difficult for fixing to be too good so long as you're not strapping too many bells and whistles onto it--this is borderline, but I don't think it quite crosses...

Sometimes you just want pizza, you know? But Seeker has the non-flippant answer of sometimes wanting something different for different decks. Representative members of the two cycles I have: There's also a reluctance to pick custom cards (even in a custom cube), and I want to communicate a...

I mean....maybe my anti-Detective chauvinism shouldn't have been a shock lmao Oh boy do I have a suggestion for you. This is busted, true. But think of it as "fetching during the draft portion."

Then I will gracefully admit my mistake: I have clearly sat down at the wrong pod.

The way I think of it, there are four distinct variants on "duplicate cards," all of which are described above: 1. Duplicate basic effects. I adore Firebolt and Burst Lightning, and basically no other 1-mana Red burn spells (Gut Shot, Galvanic Blast, Lava Dart, Lightning Axe--you guys are okay...

Or just in a very very very small house.

I am wearing a tinfoil hat right now, but I suspect that this is because fewer people are drafting, and also so that they can point to this and say "See, I told you that it's not worth investing in Limited! Let's just make Commander cards instead."

Yeah, I use them pretty extensively, but I also seed them into earlier packs--3 in pack 1, 2 in pack 2, and 1 in pack 3. I'm loving it, though it's definitely more work than shuffling up and playing. Jason has the right idea, and it sounds like you've arrived at the same conclusion as well...

No, please, by all means continue doing this! I asked because I was wondering what I was missing out on by not sorting things this way. If it's what works best for you, do it! But yes, I change equipments and enchantments with prepackaged tokens to the creatures section too. That makes a ton of...

Out of the combat tricks, that's probably the least fun...unless you're adding Wheel. In which case, hell yeah. And sorry about missing Saheeli! Out of curiosity, why do you arrange things the way you do on CC--no distinction between instants and sorceries, multicolor cards in one big bucket, etc?

Join me in making custom cards? It's a good lens to review some of the newer cards through while being able to keep firmly grounded in classic Magic. Shirt-rending and daubing my face in ash aside, some of the designs are pretty neat! I'm a little bit less up on Mayhem than most are because to...

Fair Breach is a really good time; I'd like to pile on to the group suggesting it. What about Saheeli, Sublime Artificer? Saheeli, Sublime Artificer It's technically U/R, but it's perfectly legal to run in mono-R decks! Card's really really really good and can accidentally make some silly...

-> and -> Sagas got their fourth chapter cut off. -> This card is a lot less useful without flash! -> at -> At. There's been some Frankie Peanuts discourse on the Discord, and I generally agree that this style of card is a nightmare. However, the cube is designed to be played with...

SYNTAX: These are all pretty boring changes, because I like the ideas behind them but I made typos, but let's include them for consistency's sake. -> Fixed a loophole that would permit casting this when your opponent has nothing on the stack. It might be a little too close to 1U...

NERFS: See buffs for general reasoning. -> Needed to be a sorcery or cost mana for each activation, so I made it work at sorcery speed. It should probably be a rider on each ability, but that's a pain. -> Treasure Cruise is 3 cards for 8 mana, so 2 or 3 cards for 6 mana feels closer to...

-> In some ways, I'd rather have buffed this to make it worth 4 mana rather than costing it at 3, mostly because I'd like for some of my aggro PWs to not cost 3, but that's a small quibble. -> Also making this an instant! Much better for reactive plays. -> These all seem to be coming...

That's actually a really good idea. Thanks! I'm also changing the ult to a smaller ability (-4, I think, though I could see an argument for it being a -3) that makes a creature into a 4/4 white Angel with flying and vigilance in addition to its other types/abilities. It's less absurd than the...

Hadn't heard this take before, but I like it a lot! ...this probably just means that I'm going to find Warp cards that I like and create Adventure versions of them, but it's clever nonetheless.

Can I tempt you with an Underworld Breach? It's kind of the red Snapcaster if you squint and can do good work even in fair decks. Underworld Breach (Also sorry for phrasing this like you might not know what notorious Modern+ boogeyman Underworld Breach is lmao my only excuse is that my back is...
