Any thoughts on how to support a coherent 5c theme? Usually when a 5c deck works it's because someone scooped up all the fixing early and then just took the best card in every pack, which works less often than you'd think. Is it possible to have a distinct '5 colour deck', and do you have to...

This was featured in an article years and years ago, but never piqued much interest. Let's fix that! The rules: Who wants a game?

I've seen a few people on VMA-highs wish that Slide were a thing in Cube, and CML mentioned considering it for the article contest a while back, so here we go. Astral SlideAstral Slide The obvious place to start is the cycling lands, which are essentially free for deckbuilding and add a lot...

I've always had a soft spot for mana doublers, being one of the few holdouts to still play Mirari's Wake. Sadly, 5 mana of multiple colours at sorcery speed is a lot to commit for that effect, especially when the tacked-on Anthem is often irrelevant; sure, you almost certainly win if you untap...

We have a single-card spotlight thread, but I thought it might be useful to draw attention to random synergies (not the obvious two-card combos, but just cards that happen to work well together): Wolfir Silverheart Murderous Redcap Snapcaster Mage Brimstone Volley

This thread is for imposing your aesthetic taste on easily influenced forum members. I'll start. What basics do you like? For non-Zen/Unhinged new bordered (or old now, I guess) lands, I go with these:

I was never that impressed with Bloodghast but after trying out Quadcrawler I've found myself wanting Bloodghast a lot more, including in decks that couldn't/wouldn't want Gravecrawler for lack of Zombies or aggressive tendencies. Some examples of random value Bloodghasts I've had: - B/u with...

Thinking quickly about cards that can turn on the BotG gods easily: the CCC hybrid cards (Boggart Ram-Gang etc) the SHM-EVE Lieges the SHM-EVE Avatars (Deus of Calamity) the guild leaders from both Rav blocks (Trostani, Rakdos) WU: God: Ephara - ok, more potential than most just by virtue of...

Theros gave us lots of exciting cards, as well as some deep and complex mechanics to play with; lost among all of that is the emergence of the most fearsome tribe Magic has ever seen. Wizards tries to support a block's themes by seeding the surrounding blocks with cards that tie into them...

Poison Principle etc. but a lot of red aggro cards tend to lock you in one direction anyway. There are enough fun Goblins that it might do for red what Zombies does for black. This guy is the 'Gravecrawler': Mogg War MarshalMogg War MarshalMogg War Marshal Good sac outlets: Skirk...

My shitty black Ultra Pros have had their day, and I'm looking to upgrade. Which brands have you guys liked? KMC? Dragon Shield?

So it was said in another thread that white is the hardest colour to fashion a distinct identity for, and I think most of us agree. Nothing I've tried has worked, so I've had to resort to doubling up on white' strongest cards and just riding them rather than playing off white's strengths as a...
