Okay, but please make this little dude a Crab Wizard or I will riot and crash cube artisan again.

If you do occasionals, I'd recommending mainboarding one and having the other as an occasional. Saheeli seems like the more interactive game piece to me in the sense that you have to actively defend her despite her having a much higher "life total" than the iconoclast (i.e. there are more...

Makes sense, thanks for the review! The more I think about Mathas the more he seems a fun bridge between aggro and control. I'll give him a go based on your recommendation!

Great write-up! I've been meaning to ask you for a while about Mathas--do you think he'd be good in a somewhat low-powered format, or do you think that his stock really depends on how cheap removal is? As a member of Team Excellent Mana Fixing At All Levels Of Power, I'm not too concerned about...

I'm wondering if this is how they'll insert stories from the Silmarillion. There could be a Song of Beren and Luthien, a Sundering of Numenor, a Stealing the Silmarils--thr more I think about it the more natural it feels, especially with the recurring theme of music in the books.

seething song Flowstone crusher Looks like an aggro t3 play to me. Realistically, maybe you just want to lean into the spells available, as they're so much better. stone rain Char

So, not to game theory nerd too much, but certain situations call for certain strategies. What you're describing is a pure Nash equilibrium, in which a rational player will choose to play a single dominant strategy. However, these situations are special and at the bare minimum rely on perfect...

These cards are very silly, very pushed, very dumb, and very cool. I'm glad they exist and hope that none of them are fun enough that I'm tempted to run them. In other news, does anyone know what the deal is with the Planechase cards from the commander decks? I'm glad they're making more, but...

It's gonna be really hard to hold up Decaying Haiku for your own creatures, so you have to rely on the mercy of your opponents. How many decks are creatureless/cheat their consequential creatures into play? The flashback on that is nifty, though, as it creates a minigame based in playing around...

You have a lot of artifact hate; do you need this much? It keeps a lot of things like Smuggler's Copter in check, but it feels a little arbitrary in a format with this many artifacts. I dislike Ashnod on the grounds that she's very wordy in a disconnected way. Gorex, for example, is wordy, but...

Train, how could you?? You forgot the best part of Clever Impersonator--it can copy your Siege Rhino!

Did you just reinvent sarcasm?

Sick, thanks. Svella is a nifty card that I had forgotten about.

You can't just drop that and then walk away without telling us what EDH Monstrosity that is. Also, how many times do you really have to recur Fight with Fire??

Not to get too wild, but would you ever consider starting everyone off with 1-4 free copies of Delver just to make sure that they get the message?

Assorted thoughts: For the W/B hybrids, I feel pretty strongly that the Dream-Den Protector ought to have flying. It has four whole wings!! The card you don't like from that cycle is the anthem + spectral procession, right? At any rate, these cards feel balanced, interesting, and very...

TBF, LadyMapi, I think you have a unique perspective on creativity and restrictions and probably don't need this explained to you.

Mmm, I'd actually cast this as the Alien vs. Aliens problem. As soon as you can reasonably hurt them, they're no longer nearly as creepy. In NPH, the best we could hope for was that a few people could escape, but here the story feels like a formality; we all know that the phyrexians will be...

Take a picture of the order, shuffle, and reset. Or in MTGO's case, cry.

It'll balance the color pie!! /s /nots
