    There are SO MANY words on that card when the 90% of them that matter are 1RR deal 2 draw

    General What is your stickiest glue card?

    I feel like you've just argued decently well for Bonesplitter, not flying men :P Like yes, when combined with a ham sandwich, you can kill your opponent with equipment

    General What is your stickiest glue card?

    I'm replaying Shandalar right now (Big ups by the way) and flying men is okay in a format where the average starting life total is 12. I tried to believe in Pterry for a while but while there's a lot of words on there I like, but it just doesn't add up to a magic card I'd play.

    I love when your removal hits a percentage of the opposing deck, provided you've got multiple removal spells to decide on. Holding Go for the Throat because you know there's a multicolored threat you need to answer? Great! I don't love it when they're all or nothing like "nonblack", but in a way...

    General Rehabilitating Parasites

    Here's a few edits I've done in that vein (TECHNICALLY squirrel rampage is different from pest infestation, but it's different not worse. Shape is Alchemy esika's chariot, which I feel is less swingy)

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I mean if Grillo taught us anything you need a really slow enviornment and some intentional design choices for multi-regrowth spells to be a great choice. Card draw needs to be a good idea, in the first place (looking at my cube, there's very little in the way of like, tidings style effects and...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I'm not convinced you want overlap between "archetype which wants creatures moving zones as much as possible" and "keep your creatures in play so they benifit from +1/+1 counter synergies"?

    General Fight Club

    A brief note: if you want a version of this effect which does actually trigger off tokens, like say for eg if your aristocrats deck uses those (:P) there is one option: Fecundity

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Good Question. I know my old answer was a coincidental zero, but I'm certainly more open to the top cards being my small edits of an existing magic card than something wholly I'd created. I certainly have less work hours put into quality control than WotC does, but I'm not sure that matters in a...

    Even if it's not zero, people value lands at higher picks, but unfortunately if you value fixing at pick 5 because you're playing a 2 color aggro deck, and someone else values them at pick 2 because they're playing a 3 color control deck, you don't see any because by the time you get to the...

    Also you realize that this is 100% going to end up with a few people having 4 vistas each and the rest having zero

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Look to frank karsten (praise be unto him) for more exact info, but tldr it depends on what you're going to do: 90% odds to be able to cast a 1 drop on T1 is 10 sources So a 16 land deck with 4 duals in it can consistently cast goblin guide and savannah lions with 90% confidence. Counterspell...

    General Collection trackers? Converting decklists for tcgplayer mass entry?

    I would call myself a database admin by trade and this really is something else :P

    Anthony of Lucky Paper Radio runs 8 copies of prismatic vista IIRC (cube link) and swears by it. I'm not sure how much I'd like it being the only fixing in an environment? At some point it'll all just blend together, I think players will feel a lot better about a mix between this and traditional...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Drafted my cube again! I feel a bit bad for the owner of our playgroup's vintage cube, it's been a while but people just like combo gameplay less? My friend rob hasn't lost a game in the last 2 drafts, this time drafting an excellent prowess deck in a pool where not a ton of removal was opened...
