    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    In this sentence, either word can be correct. It depends what you are trying to say. We are concerned with the noun: dangers. "Few in the empire are fully aware of the dangers that lurk at the edge of the continent." Here, the description of the dangers is necessary information to...

    Sets (LCI & REX) Lost Caverns of Ixalan and Jurassic Park spoilers

    That's the other thing about "complexity." Just a couple of words can carry a lot of weight. If you want to talk about "coolest," that's the whole reason I made my cube focused around Eldrazi. I think they're cool. Design from there. Also anecdotally, I've heard my players say "I didn't pick...

    Sure, but this is a UB thread and we're talking about two UB sets.

    On which part? I think that's the nature of the crammed release schedule. Their marketing data will determine that lol. I imagine they're attracting other fandoms successfully.

    I find it a bit misleading to claim that most vanilla creatures are boring. Only 5/291 vanillas are rare+ since Isamaru's printing if you're willing to disregard the 9 reprints from the rare pool. Compare that to 4995/12972 for creatures as a whole. I didn't toss out the reprints for the latter...

    Rad makes me think of, like, totally radical, dude! Already more appealing than WHO was, but they're really pushing this UB stuff. I'm sure that the nerds from these other IPs can be easily converted to nerds of MtG, but it's becoming a little alienating to me.

    I like this. It's similar to Commander. Get a little build around that you always have access to.

    That Boar is nice. Could definitely work as like GW ETB with a +1/+1. Remove +1/+1: Naturalize. 2/2 Watchwolf x Qasali Pridemage.

    What we probably actually want? Or maybe "If ~'s power is N or less, ..." so that it's capped to like a 5/5 or something like that.

    I have Erinis, Gloom Stalker coming with "Choose a Background" (and the legend crown, oops!) removed.

    General Current Cube Obstacles

    My issue has been the constant releases. I wasn't happy with my old list. The new list kept getting delayed by all these new ideas in new sets. I finally pulled the trigger and did an MPC order this weekend. $170 and it'll be here in 2 weeks. I'll probably update once per 6 months or so. I...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    At a glance, your list looks like it needs immediate ETB value at 7 mana. There's quite a lot of higher powered cards in there and a player shouldn't spend 3GGWW only to immediately lose to some 1B instant. The other consideration is that Torsten is likely unbeatable when cheated into play for...

    Can we get a QuestingBeastBot that automatically "Like"s posts that have more words than Questing Beast?

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I hate the forced ticking-up, but I played stax in vintage like 15 years ago, so that may be nostalgia talking. It's more "Doom" to force the counter up. I think it's ok for a two color Smokestack to be better than the colorless one. This doesn't need to have a drawback compared to the OG. I...

    I don't personally think it needs extort, but smokestack killing lands literally is the best part. I think that the death trigger is a nice, small, bonus. Won't swing things too much, but makes you feel alright when you finally have to say goodbye. Also fits the "doom" vibe pretty well.

    Significantly worse than Treasure. This costs a mana instead of adding a mana for the same effect.

    Sovereigns of Lost Alara x Polymorph for Equips. Could be fun. Might become my Bant card thanks to the Add GGG. Pretty interesting blue sweeper plus Demonic Pact enabler.

    Woah! Indominus is sweet! 6/6 for 5 and you can discard something playable like a Vampire Nighthawk to make a crazy dinosaur and draw 3 cards or go totally nuts and pitch a Zetalpa to draw 5. Or pitch both to draw 7! Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of ability counters. I am, sadly, a fan of these...

    I'm going with these for my proxies: For the Onder lands, I like A for being official or C for looking nice. You could also cut the basic land type and go with the gold frame.
