You know what, I'll cut Merfolk Windrobber as well and give both a try. Unless they print another really cool 1-drop flier like Faerie Dreamthief in blue before I get to my next update, in which case I would only add the Sailor. Maaann now, I want blue's Faerie Dreamthief, just make it scry...

I think being flying men is the most important role for either, as I need those for ninjas to work. Being useful in different decks is probably a higher upside than being another ninjutsu effect, especially since I'm not in love with this one. I try to keep my cube as “sandboxy“ as possible. I...

Zoss, it's funny that you bring up Lantern Bearer, because that's what's currently, in that slot. However, I would prefer to find single faced solutions for the five remaining dfcs in my cube, because the logistics annoy me. I think I will go for the sailor. Probably. It has less words on it...

Spectral Sailor Thousand-Faced Shadow Which flying men+ is better? My blue aggressive decks have usually at least a couple ninjas and an equipment. Other decks usually don't play them as much, unless they have a specific reason (think Pteramander).

After yesterday's pretelease event, I dislike roles even more – 4 of 6 are basically just mire fiddly +1/+1-counters and there are just too many in the set – but I got to really appreciate bargain. It played well, felt more flavorful than anticipated and adds an interesting layer. I'm...

I also went to my first prerelease event since Shadows over Innistrad, although this one was draft. Ones 2 Brave the Wilds 1 Sleight of Hand 1 Royal Treatment Twos 1 Picklock Prankster 1 Rootrider Faun 1 Territorial Witchstalker 1 Stormkeld Prowler 1 Up the Beanstalk 1 Cooped Up Threes 1...

Card Conjurer + MPC is also the easiest way to fight fugly frames and hefty price tags.

If that's what you want wizards, I'll do it

@Onderzthese are cool, I could see me adding the Siren at least, bit it's not that much about stealing effects per se. Vapor Snare and Invoke are just in my list as non parasitic support for Landfall or devotion respectively. I think I'd like the aura versiln better as this gives non-blue...

Okay, thanks, now I am more than convinced that I can safely test Welcome to the Fold with no fear of it's power level :D I'll probably test it over Confiscate as a version that synergizes with madness, spells matter and is more useful against aggro than against midrange. If it add these...

@Onderzeeboot I didn't know Volition reigns existed, I might add that too. Thanks! But for the main quest here, I wasn't looking for a cut. I mostly wanted to know if welcome to the fold is better than my current suite of stealing effects, because I don't want it to be. And yes @LadyMapi...

How would you rank these? Vapor Snare Confiscate Invoke the Winds Welcome to the Fold I am running the first three currently and they are very good. I'm considering to replace one with WttF, but I DON'T want to increase the power level of my stealing effects, as they are close enough to be...

How do these control decks look like? When I think of wheels I think of either combo or aggro decks.

Personally, I would rather play something like Morphling, because imho cards shouldn't turn the exile into a second graveyard, but I understand the synergy appeal and the Elemental is certainly a strong finisher. But it's also a downside that it might be stronger against white than against any...

How busted is a Timetwister you have to work for? Actually, how busted is even timetwister in a super fair lower powered environment with close to zero combo stuff? Echo of Aeons

Also, black might just be the best color for bargaining, because you can sac your Demonic Pact. Honestly, bargain can do quite a lot. Maybe I have to look more into some bargain cards.

In german we say: „Immer der, der fragt.“ ;)

Reminder text makes thousands of cards cubeable for many more playgroups. Also, who cares about the text box? I am like the aesthetics nazi when it comes to magic cards, still curating a burning hatred for the postmodern card frame, yet I always had a hard time understanding how people are put...

One question: If you take away the upkeep, don't you in some way make it harder for newbies to keep up with experienced players, as you take away one opportunity for instant speed interaction that might be relevant? Also, I would argue that lifelink and double strike add virtually no...

The mill is very relevant in many decks. In general, my black 1-drops I support a bunch of themes, including ninjas, aggro and dredge. All of which are supported with the Dreamthief. Cutting the Swarm is probably the right call. It's a neat evasive 1-drop, but Dreamthief fulfills most of it's...
