    Winding Constrictor + Umezawa's Jitte! Maybe that equipment is finally playable.

    General Fight Club

    I don't know whether power level makes a difference on whether top deck wars come into play. Even in Vintage constructed, probably the most powerful format, games can come down to top deck wars. It's more the style of decks - if you have two decks that are looking to trade off resources, a top...

    General CBS

    I'm a big fan of Skirsdag High Priest, it's got some setup cost but the payoff is usually worth it. Other options for that slot might be Nether Traitor, (second?) Bloodghast, the new menace energy guy.

    I think I would build GW and try and take advantage of revolt as much as possible. You have reasonable fixing but I don't think any of the off colour cards are worth splashing.

    I don't think including Push alongside Path and Bolt is hyperbolic, at least in modern - sure, it's worse against Tron when they have specifically creatures, but it's better against almost anything else. I really don't think that pushing cards for channel fireball is PV's motivation for talking...

    The Podcast Thread

    I've recently started listening to No Such Thing as a Fish, which is put out by the researchers for the QI show, and I've slammed through about six months' worth in a couple of weeks. There's four of them, and they each bring their favourite fact for the week and spend about ten minutes on each...

    Both arts are terrible, Atog should not have all carnivore teeth when it doesn't eat meat.

    General Rethinking our Guild %?

    I tend to steer away from "utility" cards such as artifact removal in the guild sections because I don't want to limit the colours that have answers to particular permanents in my cube. If you expand the guild section for Gruul and include all the anti-artifact cards you listed, but then don't...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    You could change it that X is creature tokens if that makes more sense. The design is a bit tongue in cheek but I think it could work with some tweaking.

    No only that but the art on both is very similar. At least one of them is basically unplayable to help keep confusion down.

    I've seen two Ajanis spoiled already, both {4}{G}{W}, so I think we've already had the set Ajani. He's the one with -2 to Swords to Plowshares and +2 to draw nonlands from top of library.

    I think the argument is just to print more creatures with Rebel creature type, rather than bring back the "Rebel mechanic". There's bound to be some people out there with the Rebel theme in their cube or a Rebel EDH deck that would appreciate it. Similar to how BFZ/OGW had Allies without the...

    I've been watching The Genius, which is a Korean reality TV show. Each week the contestants play a simple social style game, like a simplified Resistance, but it's spread over several hours and they have a whole house with private rooms to discuss strategies and form alliances. The games they...

    I can kind of understand it, Rebel is a creature type with some baggage so if people start seeing rebels on typelines they might start looking around for rebel searchers and be confused when they don't find them. It's not an argument I agree with, but I think it's one that could reasonably be...
