This is an excellent post Trainmaster! I'm convinced by your arguments about sword of body and mind, and as is probably known to most people; to get the most bang for your buck with stoneforge mystic you really want to have good equipment at 3 cmc to fetch and cheat into play. Speaking of...

Depending on the format, just staying back a few turns and growing the captain can be a valid way to grind out as well. Pridemalkin is much more aggressively bent in that sense.

It's just a stupid phrase I've seen repeated at least on mythicspoilers,and now apparently here : )

Yeah I think this is some interesting design-space. Hopefully they explore this in some color-costed lands aswell!

Spoiler season for Zendikar Rising hasn't begun yet buy we got this sneak peak. Happy too see that we'll get some decent creature lands in this set, at the very least one.

It's also a pretty awful top deck, so you really wanna be using this to close out the game, so it should go in a reasonably aggressive deck

For those not in the know, I think the price is due to Pauper

Stab wound is super good! There's a reason it got reprinted as uncommonly in later draft environments

Brad, how does strength of arms play? Do you feel like you need the equipment to get the most bang for your buck or is the trick itself worth it in white?

Ue Yet it was played alot in competitive coldtrucred.

Treasure mage sounds pretty cool in a UG ramp deck with artifact fatties honestly!

Yeah imagine that card costing 3 instead. That'd be sweet! Spending your entire turn 5 for a measly 2/3 will mean having negligible board impact and then you need to spend more resources incrementally over several turns to get the value out of the card.

It combos pretty well with cards like opt and ponder i.e.cheap cantrips.

I agree with this sentiment. Probably more important to have a few interesting options in all colors if you want to spread out a theme, than to necessarily have a critical mass. braids, cabal minionphyrexian scriptures Does braids count? Scriptures seems like a strong incentive to me, but...

I think it depends on what distribution you want in the final 40 card decks that the player ends up playing with. Should be possible to work backwards from having X many cards of your 23 playables corresponding to X number of cards in your colour section, adjusting for some margins in there...

Excellent opening post Japahn. I can say I've been prone to this as well! I've always tried to make the 3 cards I put in my guild section have some kind of cohesive theme. Might be worth trying the flip side of that and let each card have its own distinct theme, along with introducing more...

Cardmarket for me as well. I've had some luck with local facebook groups as well. Luckily Stockholm has a pretty active mtg community, and it's nice to buy cards from people in person sometimes when you want things quickly.

Why can't people who make good art just have the common decency to not be assholes?
