    It's already an archetype bae! I've been running it since my second cube, to great effect! I might have to cut The Flame of Keld for this. I like this card a lot, Flameblade Adept just got 1000 times better. This will enable some... Shenanigans :p (Also, this is the first non-golgari...

    MTGS is shutting down.

    Well, we'll need to make sure that when the Powermaxers inevitably arrive here that we don't lose sight of what makes RTL special. I like this "Moxtide Lab" area idea. This will be a good chance for us to convert some of the Powermaxers to a more "decks not cards" philosophy, and completely...

    Pretty much all of the classic tribes (except soldiers) bleed into one or two other colors. For example, Goblins bleed into black, Merfolk bleed into green, Zombies bleed into WURG but especially WU, and Elves bleed into black (and white with some gold cards). If your designing a format...

    This seems like a good idea, especially if you're just using the tribes as metaphorical gravy for the other archetypes. I already kind of do this with Zombies. I would recommend including some tribal payoffs if this is the direction you choose to go, like Ravenous Baloth for beasts or...

    General Good cards you don't run because they are ugly

    New is hands down better in every way except maybe the frame. I find this card art to be incredibly ugly: Liliana of the Veil ...Which is a shame, because I actually like the way this card plays a lot. I wish she had this art: I don't like this card at all, but the art is superior.

    I don't think it's going to be possible for WOTC to out-Riptide Riptide with supplemental products. There is a fundamental difference between building a riptide cube and designing a full-fledged set or supplemental product. All we have to do is regulate our powerbands and create an...

    I think Ravnic is referring to the little foil stamp on the bottom of rares and mythics: Drake Haven Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger

    Yeah I said I had a "Drake Haven/Cycling Deck" in my cube before our draft the other day, yet no one ended up in the deck because they quote unquote "didn't see enough cards with cycling," despite the fact that many of the good discard outlets ended up in the early packs. Language is important...

    I don't think Scrap Trawler does enough in this deck. The majority of the artifacts that can trigger off it have a CMC of 1, so they can't grab anything back.

    I think all of the seismic assault variants have been playable. I've had a lot of good success with molten vortex, and seismic assault is only difficult because it costs {R}{R}{R}. Influence has the same cost issue, and there are times when making 2/2s is worse than dealing 2 damage. That's...

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    Draft Report 5/24/19 I had an opportunity to draft Highball for the first time on Friday. We only ended up having 5 people in the draft, and 2 of the decklists were lost. Luckily, I was able to save the one 4-0 decklist for this report. Since we only had 5 drafters, we ended up playing a...

    General Fight Club

    I like Gideon Blackblade a lot more than Gideon of the Trials. Gideon of the Trials is just an annoying fog with a bad Platnum Angel attached. Blackblade, on the other hand, is just a fun card to play with. It's one of the only planeswalkers that hasn't been punishing to play against while still...
