Grim flayer feels like the 'smarter' card. Varolz really just wants to redzone, right?

Isn't it really good though? Like choose a bunch of haymakers with evasion and let this guy go to town turn 4? Talk about emotional spikes.

Keepers seems like a stupid strong card. A cantripping 4/4 that threatens to let the entire board through next turn? Very high ceiling.

What even is this card? What can you do with it? Is it something we can consider cubing? It really feels super strange to me, although it also feels like a "duh why hasn't it been done before".

Yeah, the fact that the 1/1 didn't cost any cards is actually pretty good.

I must say, monarch might just be the missing piece to get me into EDH.

That picture pisses me microspocally off, because the word play isn't on the avengers; yet the avengers logo-'A' is used.

God that picture is like poetry. It perfectly encapsulates certain kind bloated cubes. The only thing missing is your best draft friend crying into their hands.

A cube is a box with magic cards in it that you play limited with. That's the only limitation, everything else is up to the designer of the cube. Burning Vengeance was played in retail limited, so if you want to emulate part of that retail format with a card that was part of defining it, you...

If you're going to break singleton you could make it into some sort of "softer" fantasy draft set. That is, you choose some cards that are the staple ("commons") of the draft and really aggressively break singleton on those cards. But then you enforce singleton on the "rarer" cards, that can...

I've been meaning to write down the list I ran with some friends. Jason Wadell's grid drafting rules My 180 cube is basically just a grid draft stack, and to combat the problem of people drafting 5 color piles I ran just 4 colors and made some very obvious loud guild identities to help...

I dunno, it depends. If you reliably trade with your opponent two times by turn five then yeah this is probably really good.

That really looks so bombastic and over the top, I like it.

Flow actually has the drawback of making my already janky graveyard theme even wonkier. But I also run a bunch of auras in my 180 card stack, so I'll try the hammer time!

volcanic hammer I recently were given a bunt of cards, and now own a couple of this one. Someone wanna sell me on #teamhammer ?

Funny you mention that, Ive actually done something similair. 180 cards about retail draft level, mostly simple cards. One nice aspect of that I think is that you get to build the interesting and complex interactions yourself, they're not prepackaged on the cards.

I know Grillo's preached vault before, and if you have a synergy oriented format I can see why. Lets you both dig and stack your next couple of draws.

The power level is essentialy juiced up retail draft, so I think I'll go for the guildmage. White already has some tappers so that is in theme, too. Will keep the other 3s in mind though!

It feels kind of mind gamey in the same way standstill is. I wonder how that card plays.
