That's an interesting question! Zariel was clearly priced to move, but I think the main problem is that her niche just isn't there. She's obviously a tool for either midrange or aggro decks, so let's look at each in turn. Re: midrange, she's stong but not busted without support, which isn't...

Iirc it's fairly strong and saw play in standard at the time. Zariel, Archduke of Avernus Pretty good go-wide payoff, but I believe that you're not big on PWs. If you can get over that, Zariel fits nicely into a lot of medium power bands. Her ult is fun in that it's strong but not gamewinning...

We could have...both???

Wait I can't like my own posts???

Title Just thinking of you, Train <3 If you don't want to give me your address/ don't want to eat a cookie baked by a stranger, I can post a video of me eating your cookie for you and you can enjoy gingerbread vicariously.

I think you mean... (Don't watch it) We've already hit most of the good ones, but it's really hard to beat Khalni Heart Expedition for sheer rate: Khalni Heart Expedition And it's cousin Zektar Shrine Expedition is a fun aggro cross-pollinator: Zektar Shrine Expedition Don't both...

Prosperous Thief is fine (possibly attacking with a 3/2 T2 that ramps you is a great payoff for sacrificing some tempo and well worth the risk in many cases) and Thousand-Faced Shadow is actively good, but Moonsnare Specialist is not great. The body is just too anemic, and a 2/2 for 3 is...

If it just taps for colorless, it lets you wait to crack it. This might be a good thing, but I think it adds decision points that are mostly irrelevant, which is generally a bad idea. That is to say that I like it fetching a Wastes, or just conjuring one wholesale so that you don't have to put a...

The gameplay was ass, but come on--having the literal cop faction affecting you differently purely based on color and not on your allegiances or your actions seems fairly reasonable from a flavor standpoint. (American here, other people might have a more reasonable set of expectations for their...

Just make UB the steal + sac color pair this time around, easy!

Living Death?

You'd have to play around with your terms, but even a linear correction for number printings seems a fine first-order approximation to me. There have been 55 printings of lightning bolt! If you add in a couple more terms past your text mining like so Value = baseline + (your word term) + (b1...

It's an interesting idea! My first thought is that the best way to rank cards for power level across formats would actually be price, once you adjust for date/rarity of last printing, format legality, etc. That data is maybe even a bit more granular than ELO or EDHREC rating, and forces voters...

To get people excited about cube, I draw comparisons between it and Masters sets, or talk about it being like the MTGO cubes without the broken stuff (that said, it's important to not actually list what broken stuff you're leaving out so that people can pick and choose what broken stuff they...

Fuck yes. This is what I wanted Murder to be all along. It hits creatures and planeswalkers, it's rough but plausible to run this in control decks, it encourages building around the discard. Love love love this card. I'm immediately swapping out my two Feed the Swarms for this, never mind the...

Unfortunately, commons are tomorrow. Fortunately, as Miles pointed out, these commander decks have a few sweet cards. A lot of them are commander nonsense, but, well-- Mmm, free equip triggers for a +2/+2 menace! I run 2 pirates at the moment, but might add more with this set. That said...

But more importantly, it's a cheat target! If you think I'm not going to draw T1 and discard to hand size then T2 Helping Hand it into play at some point in this season of limited then you're nuts. This is kind of exactly where I want cheat target to be: semi-castable but still fairly valuable...

Bloodthorn Flail Dusk rose reliquary Free discard outlet that's best in aggro and a 1-mana artifact/creature sac removal card that's not ass?? Be still my glass-encased beating heart! Real talk, I don't think either of these cards quite get there for me--there are only so many times you can...

I'm strongly considering adding a Bargain package after drafting this set a bunch. A lot of the pieces from outside WOE seem self-explanatory, like Demonic Pact. However, I found this card: Perilous Research With the explosion of trinket tokens, I think it's a lot more viable than it was the...

Regex is a fucking magic system lmao.
