    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Nevermind, another group of cards got leaked, and Constellation is back! Had it not been leaked, it would still have been :). They're trying to lure in the kids.

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    The set code is THB not TBD!!! The leaked cards -literally- have the set code printed on the bottom. I like the escape mechanic- it seems very flavorful and interesting to play with. It definitely helps support self-mill strategies! The fact that exiling 4 cards from your graveyard is a cost...

    I can say from experience that this card's not all that great- really none of the retreats are. Retreat to Emeria is probably the closest one to cubability for me from a gameplay perspective.

    I didn't really want to go for round two, but here we are. Let's go over this point by point- A shared universe isn't the same thing as doing a crossover. For example, all of the different Star Trek series take place in the same Multiverse, but they're fundamentally part of the same...

    I'd say start with MTGO if you want to play with cards that are likely to be banned without necessarily risking huge monetary losses, and start with paper if you simply want to play the format. I'm doing the latter, since cards won't be getting cheaper in paper.

    One thing to consider would be including more kill spells that can deal with smaller creatures efficiently without necessarily being cards that are unplayable in a multiplayer environment. For example, in red, try running a utility Shock variant like Wild Slash, a removal spell that deals damage...

    It really depends on the quantity of answers for big creatures (or mana dorks) in your environment. I've never had any issues with 1-mana ramp. Just make sure that your threats in green aren't so big that the average deck can't deal with them though combat. It's usually not a good idea to add...

    I think part of the problem is that all of the standard decks throughout the arena era have had to deal with tons of un-fun garbage cards. Remember, arena was starting beta during the last wave of Kaladesh block standard bans. The other issue is that standard hasn't been in tip-top shape...

    In my opinion these are the ones that are so annoying they'll need to be banned: Cat Combo Saheeli Rai Felidar Guardian Oath of Nissa Cards to ban: Saheeli Rai, maybe Oath of Nissa. Aetherworks Marvel Emrakul, the Promised End Aetherworks Marvel Attune with Aether Cards to ban: Aetherworks...

    Unfortunately, I couldn't get a brawl deck for a reasonable price because they didn't print enough of them, and I can't play brawl on arena except for on Wednesdays on a type of computer I don't have. I kind of wonder if arena's entire development team is 4 guys named jerry and a Squirrel on...

    Historic was going to be the new non-rotating format people played before Pioneer was announced. Now, it will primarily be relegated to arena with little reason for playing it in paper. That said, I think Wizard's handling of historic (a.k.a not always having it as a ranked format) damages it...

    But Saheeli Rai does nothing other than combo with the cat. Even if the cat was banned, Saheeli's still effectively a ticking timebomb for until the next time another blink effect gets printed the combo will exist again. At least you can use the cat as an enabler for a Bant blink deck.

    Maybe replace the Regrowth ability with an Impulse effect that mills instead of putting cards on the bottom. That effect would feel pretty Blue/Green since Green can only grab permanents off the top.

    Hopefully the packs aren't 15 dollars each. None of the cards in this list of sets are worth more than a few bucks a piece except for the Modern Staples. They really should have also banned Aetherworks Marvel and Saheeli Rai. Those cards don't lead to anything fun.

    I am so Freaking Excited for this Format. I started playing back in 2013. My first standard was RTR // Theros standard, A.K.A. the Black Year. Theros//Khans standard is still my favorite standard format from when I've been playing save for the Pre- Ravnica Allegiance standard we had last fall...

    How about just- not skullclamp? Make it a better Short Sword and have it give equipped creature +1/+1?

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    Vizier of Tumbling Sands has only seen play a few times in U/G ramp specifically, since both U/B, U/R, and even occasionally U/W decks want it for the cycling ability. I think the card is best in U/G, but I also have a variety of other decks that play it. Ramp decks can generally get it out on...

    You know, I have not had a chance to play with this guy yet, but I am testing him in my next update. I played against him in ELD limited and he was pretty nuts. I don't love how he doesn't affect humans though- it means that he doesn't hit some of the important red aggro dorks Rhythm of the...
