    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    They're a cute Exodia, but even in kitchen-sink magic I could never get them to work. The biggest issue is that you want to cast your cards on curve to keep on board with your opponent, but most token cards are less cmc than them. Yes call of the herd and increasing devotion are the dream, but...

    Card/Deck Tokens

    I see, Cube is definitely something you should feel out firsthand so it's good you noticed. To me trimming it sounds good, and you can use what the thread has discussed so far to do that. Do keep messing with it though, I have a similar theme, but in different colors so I'm curious how yours...

    Card/Deck Tokens

    It depends on the size of your cube, but if you're looking to make say populate good with cards like vitu-ghazi guildmage: I looked at the asfan on Return to Ravnica for token makers and it's .77 per pack. For a 360 cube that's around 20 cards that are token makers. BUT for Cube I always give a...

    Reading that thread reminded me of this article https://thehardtimes.net/harddrive/magic-the-gathering-player-confident-opponent-isnt-ready-for-new-decks-secret-weapon/ EDIT: Looks like that thread was deleted, some other posters say that the leaks are fake, but I can't find where they got...

    The Narset planeswalker is intriguing to me cuz most of the tri-colored Jeskai cards are pretty "eh" and the Abzan wedge also makes it possible that this is a wedge set, but I'm not sure if we can prove it yet. Throne of Eldraine had shards in their Brawl decks so they could be doing the same...

    Absolutely, I also had that perfectionist mindset for a long time as a DM in DnD, and that mindset can be absolutely devastating to players who want to express themselves and for the story to go in a more open-ended direction. This video best describes the type of dichotomy that happened...

    I had a very long and well thought out post (which you can believe if you can discount the idea that I am evaluating my own thoughts) that was lost to time and habitually hitting control-c for something else. But yes, I think it is normal to hit road blocks for designing. My point of the matter...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I like it, defiant strike also is not as bad as it looks, white slightly faster needle drop that helps prowess decks is good. (but I would consider it weaker than guided strike).

    General Fight Club

    I think I follow now, more of like if these were the last two cards in a pack and you're already in blue/black which would you choose? If that's the case, I think cloudfin raptor beats gluttonous slug every time. Like trainmasterGT said, the turn two clock is pretty slow compared to a clock that...

    General Fight Club

    That sounds less like a fight club and more like a, "if we coexist together, we could rule our respective CMCs" club. Pelt collector I consider a bit stronger, but human on the ooze is usually more relevant in cube, the regeneration is also relevant to survive sweepers. I prefer the ooze...

    General Let's talk about generating value

    I elaborated myself I based my card evaluations off of untamed kavu cuz grizzly bears doesn't cut it anymore, but obviously I am not perfect ;) (I'm second guessing pierce the sky, I think it should be higher value, but it is a niche card). Also this is not entirely granular, not everyone will...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Compared to Shunt I would actually say Bolt Bend is a little bit better (even when cast for 4) for one big reason that I didn't mention. It can swerve abilities as well, which since you run Flametongue Kavu, Nekrataal, Cast Out, and Waterfront Bouncer that could make for some very fun scenarios...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I've tested Bolt Bend which is pretty similar, but most of the time is more powerful to those two. I quite enjoyed it but my drafters did not. I consider it the best card we have presented for the effect (in red) because it supports the type of deck that would normally want it. Big red decks...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    The only card I could find that fits those specifications is Inexorable Blob Definitely an aggressive three drop I wouldn't mind playing if I'm behind, but also would be fun in other decks. It seems pretty pushed, but if you're not playing Fetchlands Delirium can be hard to get online

    The Video Game Thread

    It does seem interesting, unfortunately I don't have a PC to play on right now. I always thought League of Legends had cool lore and worlds but felt that it was lost by only having Champions on somewhat generic maps. Interesting design choice to make the cards have "I" rather than "this card's...

    Sets (UND) Unsanctioned full spoiler

    It's really nice to finally have the token to Water Gun Balloon Game, that always bothered me. Also is pretty powerful, not exactly sure how the dice tokens would interact with populate though (The populated creature is probably a 0/0?) This is the only card I could see putting in my cube...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond testing/includes thread

    Hero of the Nyxborn I was interested in, but I feel like I could just use and/or for roughly the same power level without cutting a Boros card. So those two are includes since I have a Feather, the Redeemed theme. I also really like as a "weaker" makeshift munitions, I just wish it said...

    Eventually I'll get around to posting my cube, but currently I only tested inquisition of kozilek before taking it out. Which sounds fine cuz my bombs are in the higher cmc, the most it could do is be a disfigure to 1-3 cmc creatures right? But when it factored in artifacts and enchantments and...
