    Mordor's Cube (The Ship of Theseus)

    Jokes on you just last week I thought sentinel triggered on every noncreature spell I played :P Also as someone who has done a LOT of work sanding around the edges of wasteland: if you want something like it (and you might not), just play it. Tec Edge doesn't really do the small game thing...

    And that's the neat part, you don't need to! You just need to focus on what's cool and good for your environment! TBH My 2c is Cecil is at least interesting enough to check out if you're on the higher power level of things, Tonberry is probably fine but boringly straightforward if not bad (Like...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Some more stuff I've made recently to try and cut down on the number of bespoke tokens in my cube: Knightshifted The Wandering Emperor, one of my favorite planeswalker designs of all time but also basically alone in making 2/2 samurai (other than Experimental Synthesizer, technically. Most...

    In that these made it in after we stopped recording, I'll answer them here: Clean designs, 100%. I spend much of my time uncomplicating cards, honestly. The goal for every card I make is strip away as much as I can while making sure: -It still is powerful enough to be in dialog with the rest of...

    General [DFT/DRC] Aetherdrift Testing/Includes Thread!

    I'm not sure if I am removing options from Junker, but maybe. Additive distraction is something I like to cut down on when I can, and I'd likely make the base card a touch more powerful, maybe like 4/4 or menace or something. Stridehanger Automaton will get the bold treatment if I see other...

    General [DFT/DRC] Aetherdrift Testing/Includes Thread!

    Demonic Junker I might include this, or I might custom up a version that doesn't have the destroy your own creature text, which is mostly just additive distraction for me. I have an artifact deck and I am running a tokenshifted oni-cult anvil, but gameplay wise this isn't really the goal of my...

    Maybe they figure the text "add R for each goblin you control" is such a removal magnet it either won't work, or it'll only work once...like a ritual! XD

    Nice modality! We've had GG 3/3s for ages but this is a nice carrot Crew 4 is just so much but hey that's a fine kicker on an otherwise medium sorcery. I could see it This is a lot of investment, so I'd imagine if this is finding anything you're either desperate or assembling an infinite. YMMV

    Its strictly worse, isn't it? Scryfall took over the same codebase and has been building that since they caved, no? I mean unless you mean astheically, and honestly, ugh no.

    Before anyone says it I don't think there's much to be gained from these being any good other than to say that you did it :P Like yeah that red one's still bad (Frost Walker) but would a 5/1 be enticing? Would a 6/1? I think these are a bad place to put the "lets print enticing cards for...

    Huh, I might not actually, I hadn't thought of that Oh lord rewriting my muscle memory from M+A+Tab from back in the magiccards.info days was bad enough

    So this card is good in a way that probably makes it not so great :p Like okay sweet, another 2/1 for B for your aristocrats deck which specifically wants to load up on as many copies (virtual or otherwise) of gravecrawler (Who got sweet new amonkhet art in the EDH deck btw). I figure if...

    The only way I ever access scryfall is typing S C and then hitting tab and entering my query

    This does a lot of damage, and also might just be the kind of card you don't want on a sorcery if its going to be effective given how all or nothing it is. At least Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas gives your opponent a turn. @TrainmasterGT Looks like they listened to your cycling complaint :p But...

    So I also noticed it on the new Basri, who justifies cycling 3 on the same merits as here, and the 5 mana 8/8, where that cycling cost is less about cycling and more about snakeskin veil Edit: full list of cyclers at time of writing: All the cycling 3 cards shown are justified in being very...

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    I think cycling 3 is very justified here in that this card is so early game, and cheap cycling would make it SO free. The triomes deffinitly don't deserve cycling 2 for eg, and I feel similarly here. So this is from the commander set, but I'm kinda into it? Chatterfang was legitimately great...

    Interesting flexibility on this trigger, kind of in the middle of you attack and this attacks! You need to attack with a vehicle sure, and probably him, but you get the bailout clause of other pirates if you have them. I hope we see more stuff that rewards things other than max speed, given...

    Its actually the original plan for monstrosity, but the rules manager at the time wouldn't let them do it :P
