Do you guys think it is confusing to run Sagas and Classes in the same cube? For newbies drafting it, I mean? Will they mix them up or be irritaed when they just understood how one thing works and then they see the other (with mana costs to level or with chapters for example). I know they don't...

Artifacts and enchantments also used to be mechanically different. Artifacts were colorless (until Alara) and thus the go to version for colorless creatures too. Enchantments were colored and couldn't tap (Until Future Sight). One general problem with enchantments, that we don't have with...

Not much, actually. Other than Drake Haven, Flameblade Adept and Glint-Horn Buccaneer I run no cards that care about other cards being discarded. And a flexible channel card is actually less likely to be discarded for value to another outlet/effect. So no real synergy there.

Yeah, stick with Fauna Shaman. Even I, as green madness' greatest advocat, I'd stay away from Arkbow for the exact same reason sigh mentioned.

I think the extended art frames look even worse than regular rares these days. Why the heck is the type bar black on white? Did they try to get as many shapes and colors into one frame as possible? Messy as fuck.

But it could be? There is no reason it couldn't. Works perfectly fine ruleswise. And there are many that come close to being just one time effects. Eidolon of Blossoms Dress Down Delusions of Mediocrity Underworld Breach

Note that there is no inherent mechanical difference between artifacts and enchantments in the firdt place. They just decided to let only one tap, with a few exceptions the other doesn't get to.

But ... an enchantment could just have Spirited Companions text? I agree that they're lacking flavor here, but mechanically, it is no mistake.

Mastery of the Unseen Has anyone ever tried this card in a cube? It creates relevant bodies (2/2s with potential upside) and the rate seems decent for lower powered cubes. And the first ability is probably a good way to make up a potential tempo loss. An obvious comparison would be Dawn of...

I do run Birth of Meletis already. It is so great, works with artifacts and lifegain too. I didn't count it as a 2-drop when I said I can't afford two non attacking ones, and it's not like all my two drops are hyper aggressive, just having a home in some attacking decks. That being said, I...

Wall of Omens Spirted Companion So, I can't afford two non-aggro-playable 2-drops here. But what is more important: Working with ninjutsu or being a good blocker? I run eleven Ninjas, one in white, five in blue, four in black and one dimir card. I also run like two cards, that care about...

But Anthem has an effect as long as you control at least one creature. Arkbow is a zero without more mana and cards invested.

I mean, modern doesn't have Wasteland. Is Blood Moon still a thing? Why would any deck not run one copy of each that fits it's colors? That being said, I could barely care less for constructed.

I think any untapped, color producing land without any kind of drawback is a mistake, designwise. In draft, they are potentially fine, as they still cost you a pick at least, but for constructed, you don't want those. And the new cycle overall seems worse (because they're stronger) than the...

The whole cycle looks like design mistakes

I am sorry, pal, I deleted my post immediately after posting it, since after doing so, it became clear to me, that only Windbrisk Heights could be the winner in this contest. It is basically a land costing {W}, since it enters tapped, and it lets you play another good card from your library for...

Kappa is definitely stronger. Also, I think the Hulk sits in a weird spot. It's a gold build around signpost kind of card, but those usally are very for your game plan and you'd rather wait with them on your hand instead of cycling them most of the time. Of course it's still pure upside and a...

What would you say, at which number is a "scry N" effect worth the same value as "draw a card"? At which point would it maybe even be worth more? Let's assume it's a one shot effect that you can't expect to replay multiple times.

Yes, I run these guys. Cache Raiders They play put pretty well in my environment, as they can bounce creatures for blink, lands for landfall, artifacts for certain artifact payoffs and of course stuff like sagas or Demonic Pact too. I've also haven't run into problems with the upkeep clause...

I think I might be where I wanted to be with the artifact theme in my cube. It's an almost color agnostic subtheme that can be splashed into different decks. During my last paper draft, I almost had an artifact theme present in my mono {R} deck, but during deckbuidling decided to go for a bigger...
