I'm building a Guild Summit deck to play against the younger kids at scouts, so I'm excited for another cool gates payoff.

Looks like the rest of the promos got leaked! It looks like Mortify is finally getting reprinted. The only one of the new cards that really excites me is Rakdos Firewheeler, and only because it would be a pretty decent playable in my new project (which I will write about eventually).

This. Is. Magnificent. For too long have the Rakdos gone without proper optical care. Now, they can stop their riot and go back to the armchair intellectuals they have always wanted to be.

First RNA spoiler came out today: Card text: "Light the Stage"? 2R Sorcery (Uncommon) Spectacle R Exile the top two cards of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you can play these cards. "Everyone to their posts" (???) -- Judith. Probably something like "Places, everyone!" in English...

It's the type of card I think a new player would under-rate. I remember thinking most hard kill-spells were not very good when I was new, even though having them would have prevented me from losing a lot of games. Now, part of teaching newbies is showing them that removal is an important part...

Dinrova HorrorVSSoul Manipulation I'm building a peasant cube for teaching new players how to draft. I'm trying to figure out which of these two cards is better as a U/B control "signpost" card to help nudge players in the right direction. I am leaning towards Soul Manipulation since it can be...

I so wanted to try this but I never found the time!

Right now I'm kind of torn between Soul Manipulation and Dinrova Horror. The nice thing about Soul Manipulation is that you can tutor for it with Mystical Teachings, but Dinrova Horror is a big fatty, so... This is all for a project I haven't talked about yet. I will write about it in a few...

Looking for: -Blue/Black "true gold" common/uncommon. -Needs to suggest a control theme. -Must have reminder text for any keyword abilities/actions it has other than flying. -Doesn't have grotesque/gross art. -Isn't Psychic Symbiont.

A lot better, actually. Remember: with History of Benalia, you're paying 1 less mana for the same amount of on-board power and that pump effect. There's a reason History of Benalia has been seeing play in the pro-tour while Call the Cavalry is sitting in chaff piles everywhere.

I'm not saying you need to support a dragon sub theme, I'm just saying you should add a couple more dragons.

Re: Niv-Mizzet, Parun I think players are going to have a pretty easy time casting this, considering the amount of good fixing in your cube. I've seen people reliably cast this on turn 6 in 3-color GRN Retail drafts. If they can do it, so can your drafters in cube. I think Arclight Phoenix is...

Hello Swoopydo, welcome to the site! I didn't have a chance to do a full analysis on your list, so I am going to make a couple of really quick reccomendations based off of what you said in your posts and a short skim of your list. I wholeheartedly agree with Safra, you should replace...

Why?

It's gonna be a cheaper buy/trade thanks to Ultimate Masters. Just don't wait too long... I was waiting for the price of Cryptic Command to drop a bunch after it had a reprint in Iconic Masters, but I waited to long and it spiked again after control became a modern meta deck again.

How difficult is it to remove a threat in your cube? If it is easy to repeatedly deal with a threat, Multani is the way to go. He is a little bit less explosive but he has that nice recursion ability. It it is only possible to easily dispatch a threat once, Rampaging Baloths is the way to go.

I don't think it triggers more than once off of Black Sun's Zenith, but it might trigger multiple times off Incremental Blight.

It's a cool card, and it is totally worth playing if you can trigger it. I had it in a BBD draft and my team won every time it stuck for more than a turn. I don't think it's for powered, but if you can support it, it is worth at least testing. Japahn's issue is that they don't have enough...

I like Generous Patron, but it is going to be worse than Rishkar most of the time unless you add some more ways of putting -1/-1 counters on your opponents creatures. Rishkar can put 1+/+1 counters on himself and provides ramp, which aren't things the Patron can do.

Bishop of Binding What do you guys think about this easier to cast but slightly more expensive Banisher Priest that pumps itself?
