The power level of the trinket tokens is very contextual. If you are comparing four different cards that produce one token, I would go with Clue > Treasure > Blood >= Food, but if the cards are a repeatable source or produce a lot of them at once (Like Smothering Tithe or Brass' Bounty), then my...

Setting aside weapons of mass destruction, I do actually have a real answer for this. Ever since the original visit to Innistrad, there's a card that always left a strong impression on me entirely because of how much I like his outfit.

Thirst for Discovery and the new Valorous Stance are both excellent, and I remember Crimson Vow being the set where I was excited about magic art again, so nothing else from the year really comes to mind. I think Stance edges out a win in terms of card art where the details aren't as clear, but...

Power Armor

that rat unironically looks like a digimon trying to draw any parallels between it and the denizens of mirrodin or esper actually offends me I'll be disappointed if I can't cube any of the sagas because they're all DFCs.

No. It's not even a trigger to begin with, those need a when/whenever/at. You'd need a "when you do", although I'd probably go for the full "when you cast it this way" for clarity. I agree that using moxen to justify why a card is overpowered is pretty questionable, but the rarity of the TMage...

they're probably close enough that the optimal choice is cubing TfD for the artwork

I'm not totally sold on this, largely because the puritan in me doesn't like adding too many complexities to the cube structure, there's an appeal in the elegance being able to solve your problems with just a pile of cards instead of layering the packs or giving everyone a free emblem or...

I think Curve plays better, but the designer in me would go for Elite just because I'm not too into Curve counting cards in exile. There's also Cryptic Serpent who is out here trying to be a fair Murktide Regent if you're into that. Doesn't play as well with spell recursion or copying if you...

if your cat has died 9 times maybe you shouldn't own a pet

Cyberpunk you mean? I think I'll just ignore anything related to the theme or I'll just spend all my posts seething. Well, I'll still be doing that, just less visibly. PW looks mechanically solid. The whole line of text that just boils down to "you can't attack me on the first turn" is kind of...

okay I guess I'm doing this I actually misspoke, I meant to say ravnica 3, which was available to play on Arena. And his point was that even when current standard formats are diverse they still suffer from unfun play patterns. Actually no idea what you are trying to say here. I have no reason...

I really wish I could've discovered this game a couple years ago, so I didn't have to second-guess myself and how much I am subject to nostalgia. cw: big rant in what timeline Standard players have hated their format for the last several rotations, only recently did some pro player on the...

That WUBRG ability is the biggest Okay I guess we have to make a 5-color legend for brawl text I have seen so far in contemporary magic design, it's so disconnected from the card as a whole it feels very... incredible? uncredible? incredulous? Also not big on the name, feels very informal for a...

Imagine having the option to go to a myriad of fantasy worlds, even having the chance to study magic at a Strixhaven campus, and instead opting to stay in the real world and work for Hasbro.

White: Enchantment, artifact, creature, planeswalker (lmao) Blue: Instant, artifact, sorcery Black: Sorcery, creature, enchantment Red: Sorcery, artifact Green: Creature, land, enchantment The onslaught cycle has enchantment | instant | creature | sorcery | land. If lands are out of the...

the edh banlist is mostly fine just add dockside to it and remote gifts ungiven

The wording is, I'd expect a trigger. I also kind of don't get the flavor of it unless I try really hard to. I don't really think Lurrus needed a better main-body. It's already a must-answer card, you don't need to force your opponent into a 3-for-1 to deal with it.

It's not so much that I forgot it, I know that's where it's derived from, I was more so saying that people use flicker as a verb when playing with flickerwisp, as an actual card that sees play. Well, it did at least, not sure if it's been power crept out of D&T after the latest Zendikar set and...
