Yeah, but that's precisely the idea--give them a very short window to win in because it sounds like they aren't even playing instant speed removal. If you're up against Craw Wurm.dec, then you probably want to make the jump a little smaller than going straight to a T0 win. Plus, Battle of Wits...

Heck, if you want something dramatic, just make a Battle of Wits deck. It gives them a turn (if you want) to do something about it, and it looks super impressive while doing it. 1x Battle of Wits 2x Elixir of Immortality 1x Reprocess 200+x Swamp 200+x Island 1-5x interaction of choice and/or...

Sure, I can think of several off the top of my head. First, it's interesting to see these unintended consequences, and will likely help them explore things they never even considered. There'll probably be outrage at this unfair deck, but I bet that at least one of the kids is going to think...

Oops, that totally explains it! Should've known that you'd thought of him. As always, they look fantastic.

I'm sorry to nitpick, but Mononoke doesn't feel like a soldier to me at all--she's way more of a warrior, and for that matter is definitely red-green. I feel like Ashitaka is more white-green, if you want to take the unsolicited advice of someone on the internet. Offerings of pictures, because...

Buried Alive Runner-up: Debtor's Transport To be honest, the Orzhov are pretty freaking terrifying if I stop and think about them for too long. They're the scariest people to me.

Also sorry for the double-post, but I'm starting to feel like one of the ways WotC is going to mechanically tie in the "new vs. old" theme is by making this not an artifact set, not an enchantment set, but an artifacts vs. enchantments set, which I've been wanting for forever. If the whole...

All I'm gonna say on the DJ is that I hate it so much that I love it. It's so over-the-top tonally inconsistent that it becomes rad again, kind of like the whole Power Armor thing. Bring it on. Also thanks for posting the high-res art, Trainmaster! You're absolutely right that it's gorgeous...

Except wouldn't three fetch lands be a nonbo due to the shuffle? :texas:

The 27th, fwiw. Release is February 18.

That name is also what happens when you realize that Gone With The Blastwave is going to be old enough to vote next year.

Sorry, I think I must have explained things poorly--blacksmithy, these are currently in the main cube, but I'm shifting three to occasionals. To your point about not just using occasionals as a dumping ground, ravnic, I totally agree! However, in a way, all the cards in a 360/384< cube like...

I'm switching gears on my cube rebuild and want to incorporate occasionals into the mix. The plan is to have 3x 16-card packs, with 360 cards from the main cube and 24 occasionals, 2 in the first pack, 1 in the second, and 0 in the third, just the way @japahn described and for pretty much the...

A potential solution for Happiny is to put it on the bottom of your deck, which would also give it some utility in control decks to prevent decking. Agreed on Bulbasaur aggro feeling like a very strong archetype.

You're totally right. The base case as a grounded-but-menacing Skyknight Legionnaire at X=1 makes it seem a lot more palatable, so although Menace is a lot worse of an evasion ability I'm wondering if the scalability will make this interesting enough as a modal control finisher/aggro 3 to offset...

I love the designs and the concepts, but I hate the idea of sacrificing babies. Maybe Happiny couple be rephrased somehow? Make it go to the command zone just so you don't, you know, kill a baby for personal gain? Is the Baby superttype mechanically relevant? If not, I feel like the squick...

:btg: Thanks for the catch! I had completely forgotten about that. But yeah, no bushido confirmed.

I would be neither surprised nor sorry to not see Bushido return. My call is that they'll probably include at least one card with the same ability as Bushido as a callback but they won't have it as a named mechanic because it's not good in large quantities. I'll miss the flavor, but in terms of...

Oh, absolutely, you have to be very careful with this one. That said, I've been on the receiving end of an armadillo polycule smackdown and it's just EDH enough to feel absolutely deserved. Ridgescale Tusker Relief Captain Together Forever While this isn't the most absurd thing that can...

I know it's not what you're asking for, but Together Forever can be pretty sweet as a way to get a similar effect if you mostly want to be recurring creatures (i.e. aren't as interested in the combo bit). Goes great with WG counters, obviously.
