    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow

    This is an ugly card. I like the idea of cleave, but if there's more of this nonsense, no thank you. The corner case of them paying for your counter and you drawing is so distracting as to make me never want to run this card no matter how good it may be. Archmage's Charm is more my speed even if...

    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow

    "It's going to be a long wedding, dearest, we'd better stock up on those blood-flavored Capri Suns you like so much to keep you from getting hangry." The flavor, at least how I read it, is that the vampires go raiding so that they can supply humans for the wedding feast, which I believe is an...

    I claim victory! Though I agree that it would have been a better fit in Kamaigawa 2.

    My favorite 3 mv counter has got to be this one. Thassa's Intervention Metallic Rebuke is generally not a 3 mv spell, but it's a neat way to incentivize an artifact deck. I find that it usually doesn't get the discount before T3 in my environment, which helps keep it from being busted, but...

    General Tournament of Champions: Community Sealed Event

    Could I grab pod #5 with Jace and lotus cobra? I pulled both from the first box I ever cracked, so there are a lot of good memories there. If that's taken, pod 6 sounds interesting.

    I have a hunch that the "removal of something never removed before" mechanic is going to be similar to Override as introduced in this custom set: https://amp.reddit.com/r/custommagic/comments/eb5sou/cyberpunk_set_mechanics_override_initialize/ It feels like it would play nicely into the modal...

    Sets (MH2) Modern Horizons 2 Previews

    I would agree that it's not good. Many things have to go right for its effect to be beneficial, and at 2 mana it's hard to accept it being net negative on cards. If you're going deep on cards that like to be discarded it's tolerable, but there are many, many other ways to do so without feeling...

    The Video Game Thread

    I feel you. It's really hard to carve out that time, and even when you do it's easy to fall back to the comfortable things--for me that's XCOM, Skyrim, and MGSV. It's important to not exert too much pressure on yourself, though, as that's how you grow to resent the demands of your hobbies...

    Elder of Laurels Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Saddled Rimestag Oran-Rief Ooze Rancor Ulvenwald Mysteries Nissa is probably outside of your power band, but the others are hopefully varying levels of plausible. edit: Sylvan Anthem Gaea's Anthem I'm still really salty about Sylvan Anthem being...

    What about a ninja with a LTB ability to promote both not blocking them and chaining them? Something like DUDERINO {1}{B} Creature - Rat Ninja Ninjutsu {B} When DUDERINO leaves the battlefield, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. 1/1

    General Personal Cube Staples, AKA Chicken Soup for the Cube Curator's Soul

    I know I've been teasing a cube update for a month or so, not that I'm egocentric enough to think that anyone is waiting with bated breath for me to post it, but the process of reviewing my cube sketches has helped me realize that I have a couple fistfuls of cards that I always like to build...

    Cycling lands are also approximately 10 cents each on TCGPlayer, so I think there's very little downside to grabbing 20 of each and calling it a day. The sleeves are probably a greater cost at that point.

    General Fight Club

    Speaking as someone who has recently jumped from 30 to 60 fixing lands, I can report that it's definitely made a huge difference in how my (solo, bot-enabled) drafts have gone. I'm not sure it's been entirely for the better, and my data is definitely skewed by how the CubeCobra bots will gobble...

    @Jason Waddell can we get a new emoji like:edh:but saying "it depends on your environment?" On topic, I do like looting werewolf as a 'funisher' card in that it dies to an aggressive sneeze but incentivizes interaction. It worries me how good it is--just transforming into a 2/1 unlockable...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Jumping back to the Beeble, it's too close to randomly getting color hosed for me. However, if you cross out the "as it was cast" bit and draft with a pair of these bad boys on the table . . .

    I love pain lands, so B for me. Meaningful choices are tasty, and getting an untapped triland seems pretty dang good. I'm a bit fan of the cycling trilands too.

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    Cosmos Elixir is kind of like Elixir of Immortality in that it's an alternate win con for control decks but has the small upside of actually being fun. All joking aside, I think it's a really useful card to have in your environment if you need to buff control decks. It provides value...

    General Fight Club

    I actually don't think that turning off counterspells is a downside as a designer, though, as it makes her harder to turn into a removal bot, which is the main reason I don't run Kess. Ideally this would mean that you're stuck casting cantrips or other cool things. However, this is probably me...

    Right, I didn't see the once per turn bit. Thanks! That makes me not want to run it anymore.
