    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    Oh, and to Cross Post from CML's Cube thread: We've found out that mostly no amount of cantrips (Ponder, Preordain, Brainstorm etc) make this deck work, since everyone playing blue at the table wants them so you never get them Threat Light is not the way to go with this strategy, since unlike...

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    Delver of SecretsInsectile Aberration What I've found is Delver works well if you arent forced to play a threat light deck: If there are instants/sorceries which double as threats midnight haunting I was thinking of doing this in Blue Green, since they don't have a coherrent identity at the...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    We all know how cube players love sweet options :P Maybe it's the style of my drafters, but I find Spectre harder to cast.

    Better or worse than Finkel, assuming no devotion shenanigans? Shadowmage Infiltrator

    I think this one is my favorite :p Edit:

    I do feel bad that he's essentially Removal/Removal/Threat, but I've always had a lot of trouble figuring out what else white should do. I also had the idea of him having a targeted ability of gideon's +2, but he'll probably need another minus ability if that's the case. This actually sounds...

    General Color matters / devotion

    I get that idea, but making cards with devotion cost more based on the effect you're getting defeats the point. Traditionally effects that scaled like this (Molimo, for Eg) couldn't reasonably go beyond what one would call reasonable numbers without some sort of shenanigans like infinite mana...

    General Color matters / devotion

    See, there's something. Initial thoughts: 1) Good lord this is a million cards. Can we safely give someone a 7-9 for 1 at any playable mana cost? 2) I like it. Hopefully a similar cost/benefit to spellstutter sprite, but more generalizable. It'll probably cost 4 though, since mystic snake is the...

    General Color matters / devotion

    what bugs me is that all the devotion cards are essentially the same design. All the gods are essentially the same card, with small variance on what their noncreature form does. Evangel of Heliod, Master of Waves, Abhorrent Overlord and Reverent Hunter are all just variants on "Dudes from...

    General 'walkers and "everything costs 4"

    I'm just going to point out that Koth needs to be answered in literally 2 turns or he gives you one of the most inevitable emblems ever. Hellrider might deal more damage that turn, but unless the game is ALWAYS ending when you hit turn 4, Koth is a lot more resiliant

    One solution to creating custom planeswalkers that nobody appreciates is to use existing lore to base the character off of. This can come across as a little trite as someone's favorite legend gets a mary sue spark, but how do we feel about this alternative gideon? Gideon, Justicesomething...

    Card/Deck Why Are All Six Drops In Magic Terrible

    I think the point is that staff is way more reasonable when it costs 2 or 4 or something. Not when hardcast

    Staff is vintage playable because of Mishra's workshop :P

    1) Extracting has the same problem as milling, in that it doesnt affect the board or your clock. I like it as a rider on random spells, (Eg: Terror + extract, Raise Dead + extract, etc) but on it's own it seems too small. If Braincull did something small, like "target player discards a card" or...

    I actually just meant the evasion, but interesting idea :P Is it a little too cute?
