    I think this card is neat, but I think it's ceiling isn't high enough to justify it's floor of a 3/2 for 3 with unearth. The card is good design, but not quite where I would want it power wise. I like Turtle Friend! He's not a card I'd want to put into a non-commander cube, but I love his...

    I don't want to get too far into this either because it's entirely unimportant, I just think your overly pessimistic viewpoint is largely incorrect in many regards and is neither helpful or constructive. It bothers me to no end that you're complaining about good magic sets after we just came out...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I don't know, Morph is pretty bad in cube these days. If your other morphs play well I'm sure Riptide Survivor can, but I'm dubious as to wether or not it's actually good.

    Ok, a couple things. First, this set actually has an Unlimited Print Run. While cards from this set will be a little more scarce than standard release cards, there is not cap on how much of this gets printed. As long as people are buying it, there will be more. The booster box prices also only...

    My day is Un-ruined. This looks sweet and has the potential to add a lot of power to the board. I'll take 7.

    If the rocks could hit players this would be really cool, but as is, this card is really bad. It's such a cool design, but they just couldn't make the rocks good enough, could they...

    No this card is very fun. It helps end stalling games and adds the monarch to the table. Also, unlike Jace, Memory Adept, you only have to hit the player controlling this once with any creature to stop them from having access to the big mill. Savannah Lions can't shut off Jace's mill, it can...

    General [Lucky Paper] - The First Four Questions Cube Designers Should Ask

    I'd like to hear more about how you've formulated your math, but perhaps that should be in it's own thread. I just noticed you're new to posting on Riptide. I guess since I've seen you so much elsewhere it didn't occur to me that you haven't posted here until Monday :confused:. I would...

    Fyndhorn Elves with M15 border and Dominaria Mana Template! WooHoo! I'm going to pick up one of these in foil if I can.

    This is neat! Is a cantrip creature something Red wants?

    The fact that they're dedicating actual space in this set to Flying Tribal is really saddening to me. Could they really not come up with a more interesting U/W limited archetype than fliers One Time???

    Lol what the heck is this... I like this card, it seems cool, but I've seen some people say it's bad because it does sometimes bounce your spell back to hand. I like how this plays in prowess type decks where you don't really care wether or not your spell resolves so much as wether or not...

    General Average Words Per Card

    I think this project is cool, but I have no idea how to use this information :/ It's a bit interesting that Highball and The Elegant Cube* are both about equal in terms of words per card. Highball is 1 word higher in regards to median words per card excluding reminder text, but The Elegant...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    I really like this design. Very neat!

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    How greedy do you have to be? Depends on how fast your format is. Or how expensive does your 4+ number of walkers have to be in order to run this card in a deck? I would call it broken with a Bolas or Ugin but Bolas is almost not castable in the same deck. I don't think you need 4 walkers in...

    Oh man I missed this: I read "Kodama" and my mind immediately thought "Kamigawa is Jank," but I guess I didn't actually read the card because this is really cool! It kind of gives all of your spells a weird version of cascade.

    We have even more bloody leaks from the same source as yesterday. Apparently this person bought the packs from the original leaked listing and is now sharing their pulls, which is pretty neat. I'm surprised this guy is a partner- he seems like the type of commander Timmies would love as a...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Don't worry, I wrote a big "put vs. placed" thing before I realized the ruling had changed as well. I only noticed the difference when I saw the comprehensive rules had changed to exclude the word "placed."

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    WOTC changed the oracle for those abilities some time between 2016 and 2018, so now all cards talking about counters say "put" as opposed to "placed." For example, this is the current oracle text for the Fairgrounds Trumpeter: So, for example, Hardened Scales|KTK with "placed" wording becomes...
