    So, I have a bit of a designer handicap where I love multicolored cards, narrow build arounds, and great art. With that said, I come to answer one of M21's greatest questions: Am I really this stupid? Let's take a look at the shrines by color to see if they cooperate with each other and if...

    It's almost like a mini Ultimatum. I really like it. None of the effects are too brutal, but they'll really add up. I love Radha's design. A 3/3 for 3 is a great baseline body. It's offering a very RG way to "draw" cards. And it has a sweet ability for later in the game when your...

    I've been hot on flying tribal and this is so sweet.

    Which happens to be how long that combo will take to resolve online. I rather like that GR dude. If a 4/3 for 4 is respectable in your format, it's got some interesting abilities on top of it. I gotta say that I love the way they've been designing these flying cards. This is how you design...

    I don't really know that it's considerably less "in your face" to put a dozen looters and a dozen Zombifys in the same draft. I don't feel particularly smart for sifting through some cards and paying 4-5 mana to return one to play. People know that's a deck unless they're extremely...

    I was too distracted looking at her weird face. Nice detail, nice card. Great for anyone who can reanimate a little slower.

    I'm personally not a fan of green cards interacting with one of green's main weaknesses. Reminds me a bit of Glademuse. That said, I bring you a fight club: Ringwarden Owl Please help. In all seriousness, this guy is an interesting and new(?) kind of effect: Not that we needed it, but...

    Incinerator is a cool card with decisions to make whose power level is determined by the designer's choice in burn spells. It's a pretty cool addition to a lot of cubes, I think. The cost is a bit prohibitive, but it looks pretty powerful in the right deck and has impressive base stats.

    Came in to post the dumb green piece of shit. Do you think they randomly added enough text to it to make it playable? Might as well just reprint Questing Beast in every set forever and save yourselves the trouble of buying new art, because we know this took no time to develop.

    Creature — Human Shaman “Double Dragoner’s” power is equal to the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard. When “Double Dragoner” enters the battlefield, discard up to two cards, then draw that many cards. Fuck ya. Much easier to cast than similar cards with the first effect and...

    Does anyone need more graveyard payoffs? Maybe graveyard enablers?

    General Fight Club

    F//F is more consistent and flexible. CoW is more exciting. I play both in The Black Cube and I like both, but F//F makes more decks. _____ Assuming your players are going to actually be casting the Eldrazi Titans rather fairly, am I right in thinking that Emrakul 2 is the strongest due to the...

    I'd have to suspect Kaladesh would be most likely to construct an orrery. The people in the art don't look NOT... Kaladeshian? But I'm not sure there's anything conclusive here. Definitely an orerry displaying the suns of Mirrodin.

    General Embrace the Chaos / Cube Occasionals

    I'm gonna start by saying this was way too much text for my tiny monkey brain to read all of. I did, however, read this. The idea of being given some parts is something I've noticed lately. Well, I've kind of noticed the opposite... Glowspore Shaman Izoni, Thousand-Eyed Grisly Salvage Drown...

    General Companions, Yay or nay?

    Maybe they can add these into the next Commander product with proper text. I was hoping they'd do some sort of Errata Spellbook to re-release a lot of popular burn spells with the newer wording. Bothers me having stuff say something that it doesn't do.

    BW lifegain really coming together. I might make a post in the life gain thread when this set's done, because that thread's way behind. If you're slow enough to run a dedicated cycling deck, I can see this being real. Alhammarret's Archive already covers this and then some for a mana more...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    We don't even run Divination. That said, this thread could use some development from someone running some sort of life gain deck. I see a lack of several key cards even being mentioned. Maybe it's something now? Or close?

    Entirely depends on your design goals. I really liked how ED did it with just a bit more than average, I think. Gave it a bomby feeling without going overboard. If you want haymakers back and forth, maybe japahn's numbers are right. It's hard to say. I've personally felt very restricted in...
