Ladies and gentlemen, the first noncreature, non-vehicle artifact that has flying: I quite like it. It's a spells payoff, a finisher for control, including wildfire.dec, and you'd probably jam it in an artifact deck as well.

Had anyone ever actually had trouble reading a non-white old frame card?

I feel like people tend to overstate all that. And I know Frank Karsten's math and everything, but if have a deck with 4 black and 4 red 1-drops, 2 untapped duals and 7 of each basic, I am certainly planning on starting every game with a 1-drop and expect it to work out 90% of the time. Of...

Maybe you should replace those with Clarion Spirit and Robber of the Rich or something without double colored mana requirements.

I've heard statement like this one before, but I could never understand them. If the fixing is there, why wouldn't you play a 2-colored aggro deck? If orzhov midrange is always better than orzhov control, it would just seem to me that midrange is better supported in those colors. Is it just...

I will cube this. If it doesn't work out, it's a 2-mana Armored Skaab, which is a good fail case, much better than Augur of Bolas. And when it works, it's a slightly better Wall of Omens, mostly because it mills you. Considering how this thing synergizes with spells matter, selfmill and blink, I...

I also think it would've been a much cooler design as a 2/2 that triggered on this and two other soldiers attacking. Less pushed stats, more achievable synergy reward.

I'm playing everything but the Stitcher. Only going in a focused selfmill strategy makes it too narrow for my taste.

Thanks friends, those were some great suggestions. I'll show you my finished Vistas in my cube's thread as soon as I got them done :)

WotC is at it again selling us proxies

Totally agree on the fail of doing colored artifacts. I have no clue how you can screw that up after printing Bolas' Citadel, but they already managed to fail for some of the MH2 retro cards. Get a taste of how I felt for every cool new card for the past ~8 years ;)

Usually I don't love asking for art, as one could always search a little more themselves, but now it is different. I am looking for 20 different, awesome and fitting artworks for my 20 Prismatic Vistas about to be printed. Anyone motivated to help me out a little?

I'm definitely not advocating playing that card in your cubes, but back in my day, we were all playing bad 2-color casual guild decks and Cleansing Beam was a legitimate tiebraker. Against something like Golgari, you'd target a gold card and often kill three creatures, and against Selesnya...

The baloth is really dope too, but, in addition to not really fitting into the loam deck, I'd prefer to have an enabler in this slot rather than a payoff, as the latter are so much more plentiful in the mono colors.

Okay guys, you kinda cemented Nyx Weavers position with your praises. It's been in my cube for ~5 years (now as the only BG gold card even) and will probably stay for another 5 years at least.

Nyx Weaver might've won his recent battle, but now there is an old rival approaching, challenging him once again. Nyx Weaver Grisly Salvage Originally, I went for the 2/3 reach and the constant milling, but recently I've found that I was leaning too hard on repeatable effects and didn't give...

Cleansing Beam was also really really solid. Like, swingy, but not bad all together. Sometimes you had to board it out, but more often it could kill multiple creatures on the opponent's board, which was actual card advantage, board effecting even, in red. But largely, I agree. The coolest...

I don't really share those feelings most if you seem to have. Yeah, I don't want Walking Dead magic cards or 250$ booster packs. But I can just ignore those. For me, the biggest throw off in magic's history is still how they disfigured the modern frames in 2014. Between Magic 2015 and Throne of...
