    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Aren't most of the graveyard filling cards safety net including anyway? Winding Way Merfolk Looter Wand of Vertebrae just don't start dredging up your Gravetroll before you've drew either the LabMan himself OR a piece of creature recursion.

    I'm guilty for loving the grind too much as well. So I would love to talk with you about our lord and library-saver Gurzigost. Gurzigost Yes, he may be an ugly beast that looks like you just caught him pooping in a hole. Yes, he might drag out a game every once in a while. But as a 6/8 super...

    Sets (NEO) Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Previews

    Don't put the shrines into a cube. I tried them in my arena cube and they were dead picks until they were busted. It's very linear drafting and low agency, boring gameplay for both sides. Like a combo deck, that is not interesting or splashy in practice. Either you auto win once you got three of...

    Yes. On monday we had to drive around the whole day and get a kitchen for our new flat,, so that plan got delayed. Today I have to work, but tomorrow is my next free day, I can spend many hours of drafting and battling.

    Also, Phyrexian Mana cards are more colorless than not, at least those like Porcelain Legionnaire, who only have one colored mana symbol.

    Of course. But then the numbers would trigger me annoyingly every time I check cube cobra!

    I have to say, I agree with Onde and Vel to some degree. I believe it is true, that a slight color inbalance doesn't matter. But aggro needing more slots than control doesn't really justify an inbalance either. First, I want all my colors to be able to play fast or slow. And second, there aren't...

    Green can be bloody outside of vampires and I think and hope it could get blood tokens mechanically. Each color is allowed to discard as a cost and green is better at card draw than red or white, and if remember correctly on par with black.

    I do have a lifegain theme going in Wx, yet I am not convinced to cut Infantry Veteran for this. The Veteran is a much better card than people give it credit for, especially in go wide aggro decks. For blocking purposes, it almost acts like a virtual anthem, as the defending player has to...

    he looks weirdly non-human for an innistradi vampire.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Very interesting analysis. But one question remains for me: How good would it be n a deck with 15+ artifacts but almost no way to get it into the graveyard besides trading? I mean, a 4/2 is going to trade with something, usually. I like the squee-like use case and I think with the dozens of...

    Ovalchase Daredevil Is a unkillable 4/2 a nice payoff for a heavy artifact deck? Is it a nice bridge between artifacts and dredge/sacrifice/madness? And why does a Kaladeshi Pilot love to read The Underworld Cookbook?

    General Weekly Fun Q: Favorite art of 2021

    Some great picks there by Onde, I guess I wont find many better pieces. Japanese mystical archive art looks more kamigwa than ehat we've seen from kamigawa 2 so far. However, I will give my vote to Ascend of the Worthy Those carved on wood arts from kaldheim sagas where incredible. I also...

    I mean, sure it sucks against a board wipe those however tend to wreck go wide strategies anyway. But point removal? I want this as a token payoff here mostly, and when my opponent starts pointing his removal spells at my saprolings or eldrazi spawn, I guess that's still a good exchange?

    Song of Freyalise I am looking for a token payoff replacement for Toski. It should be something with a decent agency. Is that true about SoF? The third mode isn't high agency at all, but I assume the way there has very interesting decision points for both players ... right? Is it fun? Is it good?

    Renown sucks, because it works out for you if things work already out for you to some degree. I think renown shouldn't be the reason to run a renown creature. You want equipment support in a white low drop? Relic Seeker is your man. You need another Goblin 1-drop? Goblin Glory Chaser is a...
