I think part of the problem is that all of the standard decks throughout the arena era have had to deal with tons of un-fun garbage cards. Remember, arena was starting beta during the last wave of Kaladesh block standard bans. The other issue is that standard hasn't been in tip-top shape...

In my opinion these are the ones that are so annoying they'll need to be banned: Cat Combo Saheeli Rai Felidar Guardian Oath of Nissa Cards to ban: Saheeli Rai, maybe Oath of Nissa. Aetherworks Marvel Emrakul, the Promised End Aetherworks Marvel Attune with Aether Cards to ban: Aetherworks...

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a brawl deck for a reasonable price because they didn't print enough of them, and I can't play brawl on arena except for on Wednesdays on a type of computer I don't have. I kind of wonder if arena's entire development team is 4 guys named jerry and a Squirrel on...

Historic was going to be the new non-rotating format people played before Pioneer was announced. Now, it will primarily be relegated to arena with little reason for playing it in paper. That said, I think Wizard's handling of historic (a.k.a not always having it as a ranked format) damages it...

But Saheeli Rai does nothing other than combo with the cat. Even if the cat was banned, Saheeli's still effectively a ticking timebomb for until the next time another blink effect gets printed the combo will exist again. At least you can use the cat as an enabler for a Bant blink deck.

Maybe replace the Regrowth ability with an Impulse effect that mills instead of putting cards on the bottom. That effect would feel pretty Blue/Green since Green can only grab permanents off the top.

Hopefully the packs aren't 15 dollars each. None of the cards in this list of sets are worth more than a few bucks a piece except for the Modern Staples. They really should have also banned Aetherworks Marvel and Saheeli Rai. Those cards don't lead to anything fun.

I am so Freaking Excited for this Format. I started playing back in 2013. My first standard was RTR // Theros standard, A.K.A. the Black Year. Theros//Khans standard is still my favorite standard format from when I've been playing save for the Pre- Ravnica Allegiance standard we had last fall...

How about just- not skullclamp? Make it a better Short Sword and have it give equipped creature +1/+1?

Vizier of Tumbling Sands has only seen play a few times in U/G ramp specifically, since both U/B, U/R, and even occasionally U/W decks want it for the cycling ability. I think the card is best in U/G, but I also have a variety of other decks that play it. Ramp decks can generally get it out on...

You know, I have not had a chance to play with this guy yet, but I am testing him in my next update. I played against him in ELD limited and he was pretty nuts. I don't love how he doesn't affect humans though- it means that he doesn't hit some of the important red aggro dorks Rhythm of the...

Gonna quote this just because we need more Bernie Sanders in general.

Thank you for all of the kind words :). I like hearing that my work looks fun and I'm glad my artifact post was helpful for you! I've been quite a big fan of the enchantment ramp. I fist started using it when I used to play major enchantment themes in my earlier cubes. Enchantment Ramp has...

I would argue, however, that the difference between something like a Young Pyromancer and a Delver of Secrets is when they gain value from a spell. If your opening hand has 3 instants, a Young Pyromancer, and 3 lands, then Pyromancer is for sure getting 3 triggers that game provided it doesn't...

Sai, Master Thopterist only goes into decks with a bunch of artifacts. Emry, Lurker of the Loch also goes into artifact decks, but she can also act as a self-mill spell for graveyard decks with the added upside of allowing for the re-use of Baulbles and Big Thicc Artifact Bois. I'm swapping...

Use Giver. Mother being able to protect herself leads to un-fun play patterns.

Yeah I'm definitely no lower than a 6 but probably not higher than an 8. My cube is weird though since I run good accelerants and really strong low-curve interaction dorks, but I have a weaker top end than most other present-day cubes.

Actually it's a triple fowl since there's a chicken in the art!
