Yeah, I'm not a fan of the recent frame in general. There are just sp many differently shaped roundings, it is really not coherent. But I can live with it on commons/uncommons. But when you cut another hole in the text box just to put another different shape around that card, it just gets too...

I hate the current rare/mythic frame a lot. You would not pass a design class at university with that. So I try to make a high quality proxy version of cards, that are only available in that frame. PS: House rule is that you have to shout "FUS RO DAH' when you flip the Dragonslayer.

I really want to add the Ninja/Saboteur thing as UB's subtheme, but it seems impossible to run alongside the straight ckassic control route I've taken for that guilds main identity. :(

Not quite. Madness.dec and discard matters is not the same to me, even though they have quite a bit of overlap. And Basking Rootwalla is a great example of a card, that has a decent enough floor without and is incredible with madness, so for me that happy little lizard is an...

Well, in the case of Hollow One e.g. yes, that one's just a discard matters card. But for the rest: When I get the advantage from discarding the card itself, it is a madness payoff for me. Roar of the Wurm for example could have a madness cost of 4 instead of the flashback and would play...

Well, I think it's a mistake to only focus on the pay offs that have the actual word madness written on them. There are quite a few great cards that make aggressive starts with Mongrels and Co. possible: Roar of the Wurm Honored Hydra Anger Brawn Vengevine Hollow One That's not even everything.

In my cube, people tend to just concede to a well set up wildfire (usually at least 1 creature that stays like Tuk Tuk, the Explorer and some artifact mana), so I could imagine the discard drawback of Dreams to not matter too much. I'm more worried about having to have the cards in hand to make...

I love how this card's name is a hybrid of two classics even. And I hope it means we'll get more hybrid awesomeness in this set!

Could this guy be good enough for aggro madness? Having to discard upfront makes it harder to cast it on turn 2 and the ping ability might be too expensive to matter in aggro.

I think you are right. A slightly better quote of payoffs is not worth adding something that is both, narrow and too good/bad for my powerlevel. Sometimes your working so much on making something function, that you lose your objective judging. Guardian of Tazeem was a tad too powerful for a...

A 4/4 vigilance is only okay. I can see why all of them would be too weak to make tempting picks. Well, Zendikar's Roil is a really good wincon in the landfall deck and my favorite payoff after Tatyova. All the other cc landfall cards seem too weak/strong for my cube as well though.

Question: What is highball?

Hollowhead Sliver {2}{R} Creature - Sliver (U) Sliver creatures you control have "{T}, Discard a card: Draw a card." 2/2 I can't add an image right now, but wow, that thing is pretty decent on it's own. Rummaging Goblin +1/+1 ...

Oh my god, they are testing me so hard with the Ninja's. I need some control-focused guilds, and {U/B} is the strongest now ... but Ninjas! If they are too awesome I might have t reconsider some choices ... hugely. I hate you wizards, stop printing awesome stuff that contradicts my cube...

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE Embodiment of Insight VS. Sporemound VS. Reach of Branches ... 5-drop with a landfall trigger in my cube. In addition to Zendikar's Roil, I mean ...

If you're into landfall shenanigans: Mina and Denn, Wildborn

Nantuko Vigilante x3

War Party interests me quite a bit. That's a pretty versatile Captain's Call.

I run oath, partly because it was cheaper. I think they are pretty close to equal powerlevel wise.

Sadly, this new drift is a lot more narrow than drake haven, since it only works with literal cycling, not with looters and mongrels and stuff.
