    How about 25 years of history of White life payments? Order of the Sacred Torch Protective Sphere Crovax, Ascendant Hero Adanto Vanguard White isn’t allowed to get life payments very often— the flavor is a little odd most of the time and it could be too powerful as White is the primary color of...

    Upgrading Saffi Eriksdotter into a Watchwolf seems fantastic. I like how they're taking two cards that haven't been relevant in constructed in a long time and stapling them together for a second lease on life in Standard/Pioneer. Melira is a great continuation of landofMordor's Watchwolf...

    I'm not 100% sure how to evaluate this card, but I think it's both a cool engine and win condition for reactive decks. Maybe she'll help people get over their Heliophobia?

    Fantastic Ux Spells card! It's nice to see blue getting more cards that contribute to the aggressive portion of the Spells decks and not simply being a source of triggers. Will definitely be including this one.

    Mordor's Cube (The Ship of Theseus)

    When WOTC eventually does the Polynesia and Roman Empire worlds, it would be funny to build an entire Cube called "Oko on Vacation" which is just Oko and a bunch of cards from sunny, warm locations like Theros, Ixalan, Naya, and Jamuraa.

    General Why Slash Panther is no longer a Vintage Staple

    Slash Panther This is Slash Panther. It was once a Vintage staple because it could come down on turn 1 with the help of Mishra's Workshop and a Mox and kill a pesky Jace, the Mind Sculptor before the opponent can react. It is no longer a Vintage Staple because elk man has too much loyalty. Oko...

    I heard someone say the question with Kaito is "how do I fit this into my creature decks" as opposed to "how do I make this good in my U/B decks." I don't necessarily know if that's also the problem you're referring to, but I thought it was a useful interpretation of this card. Personally I...

    Unstable Cubicorns– TrainmasterGT's Low Complexity Battle Box.

    Hey Alvoi, thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you have had the opportunity to play the real Unstable Unicorns and have seen some of the similarities that I have identified between that game and Magic. I haven't made any changes since the last time I posted; I've just been testing the battle...

    I like these adventure designs (other than both sides sharing the same spelling of an English name, technically that's not allowed by the rules but these are customs so to hell with that), but I feel they are mostly overcosted for a Vintage Cube. The only two that I am confident are correctly...

    They do literally write the short stories after the set is complete, so you could say the written version of the story is actually an afterthought :p. Basically, WOTC 1: Comes up with the story, 2: Makes the Cards, and 3: Writes the web fiction. This can lead to an interesting overall...

    I would guess this was done on purpose because part of Magic Origins took place on Lorwyn, but a lot of Lorwyn-style art doesn't fit with the rest of the set. It looks like they re-painted a location on Lorwyn with an updated style.
