Foe-Razer Regent I kind of like this card more than I think I should. Do I need to be running a bunch of fight effects so that people can make a deck around it, or is a giant flying Flametounge Kavu in green just good? Should I even be playing it?

The general "dies to removal" argument is something I like to avoid, but when something is leaving you behind more than just some mana and a single card, I find that the Vindicate test is worth discussing. I agree that it is super annoying when people who discuss the cubability of creature cards...

This is probably the most elegant card from Ixalan. It is big and it knows how to SMASH!

See above. I agree with the sentiment that Crimson Honor Guard just kind of generally sucks. It really loses hard to something as simple as a vindicate, isn't fun, and mentions something that isn't even relevant in cube. Sure, it does a lot of damage, but at what cost?

You know what, I saw the Vintage Masters printing and for some reason thought it was in paper as well. Sorry for sharing misleading information. I think Judgment probably has a similar supply to Toxic Deluge given that Conspiracy was printed quite a bit more than Eternal Masters, but I don't...

So Modern Horizons has a Buy-A-Box promo that is new to modern but is a reprint of something old. Source: https://wpn.wizards.com/en/article/sign-modern-horizons-prerelease-now I think it will probably be one of these two more recent cards: Toxic Deluge Council's Judgment Both of these cards...

I like Yawgmoth's Bargain more. It costs way more to play, but is easier to splash, and has the upside of allowing you to draw cards right away. It's simpler, has less trinket text, and is just an all around more flexible piece save for it's mana cost. Yawgmoth's Bargain

Lazotep Reaver is just a generally better card. It costs less mana for more stats on board, and it is a good enabler for an aristocrats strategy. In addition, it is quite good with Proliferate cards or other +1/+1 counter synergy pieces. For example, the zombie token the Reaver makes upon ETB is...

How good is: Nahiri, The Lithomancer Could one get away with running this with a minimal amount of equipment? She seems pretty good regardless, but she isn't backbreaking without a lot of support. Seems like something a control deck could use as a bare minimum way to "gain 5" and make a dude.

Where's your cube list? Are you doing a rebuild? I would only worry about Liliana, Dreadhorde General, the other three are just generally pretty fun. Teferi seems really powerful, but he isn't all that oppressive. Hero of Dominaria and Venser are way worse in that regard. Saheeli is just...

I think you maybe should say that it can be a mistake to add them as fixing for smaller lower powered cubes in place of lands. Unless you need the synergy, they can throw off drafts a bit, especially for newer drafters who don't realize how good they are.

Grasping Dunes What in the name of Swindon Works is this? Removal land? Kills your Dark Confidants, Oona's Prowlers, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben's, Young Pyromancers, Llanowar Elves... In the CT 720 cube this has 95(!) hits that it immediately kills. The 360 has 47. My old list had 39. I think...

Apparently this set is "an homage to Time Sprial/Planar Chaos," according to MaRo...

Flash seems like it's a really weird combo card nowadays... I'll just get free ETB and Death triggers off my Pelakka Wurm or cheat in my Woodfall Primus to blow up both of your lands, thank you very much... And that's not even to mention the famous Flash-Hulk combo...

I don't really want to argue semantics here but there is a pretty big difference between the two. Social norms are unwritten, ever-evolving dynamics which change slowly at a semi-constant rate. Rules, on the other hand, are written down somewhere, and don't change unless someone or some group...

I agree with you there. If you didn't have a playgroup operating in the same power band, I would be willing to bet you'd feel more like I do about the format. None of my normal magic-playing friends really have EDH decks, so I usually just play online or with randies at my LGS. It's extremely...
