Totally overlooked Canoneer during the tail end of commander card spoilers, this one is pretty awesome and I'll be adding it in. That Ward 4 is basically hexproof ala Iymrith, Desert Doom and I feel like if you can get this out T4 by tapping some other bodies that's a pretty big game. Being an...

Went 3-0 with the FNM prerelease, opened a real solid pool of U/R stuff with a few cool rares and just solid cards. There was a lot of leveraging with tempo plays and knowing where and when to point certain bits of removal and damage to eke out some wins. Mostly it was about curving out and...

I think she fits well as a niche walker that can slide into a specific archetype but is kinda mediocre elsewhere. Like how Daretti, Scrap Savant can be nutty in an artifact deck where you're bringing back a strong card ahead of schedule from the grave but just passable filtering without that...

The story has been mostly fine, first time reading in a while after I was turned off from WAR. It's just very bland to me. Unfortunately I just can't get over how much the new age tech thing just takes me out of it feeling like Kamigawa. I just have a really strong association of Kamigawa within...

Hello! I will be adding the entire 5 card cycle from Kamigawa as well as the tribal land doing an Unclaimed Territory impression. Aside from that it's mostly been the same over the last year and will be the following post Kamigawa: Castle Ardenvale Ancient Den Secluded Steppe Eiganjo Castle...

I've got 8 cards on my shortlist to include this time around for the main cube (14 total counting the 6 lands going into the ULD). I can see half of these main cube inclusions staying around for a while. Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful The Wandering Emperor Lion Sash Blade of the Oni Rabbit Battery...

Eh, I strongly disagree. A big part of Magic's appeal and why it works as a card game is a player's ability to parse a boardstate based on visual indicators and shortcuts when declaring actions (Wrath the board, mill you for three, Bolt you, etc.). These break that convention with similar color...

Did they all get the same prompt? Why would you do this.

Reinforced Ronin Human Samurai 2/2 Haste At the begging of your end step return ~ to your hand. Channel- 1R discard ~, draw a card. I'm a fan of this one. I love Dash as a mechanic for Aggro and this is basically that without the keyword with how it'll play out. Pairs well with Champion of the...

Wow that is a really ham-fisted design. This is definitely not my set so far.

I think Wanderer is pretty neat as a Control-y walker centered in white and I dig the rare land cycle for my ULD, but every card that has a flipped side I'm just completely ignoring at this point. Saga + DFC is more upkeep than its worth outside of draft. Same for anything that mentions modified...

I really wish this was a Trash for Treasure like effect on just an ETB 2/2 or 2/3. That's EXACTLY what my U/R artifact archetype would love to supplement it. I think crappier Scrap Trawler doesn't quite get there in higher powered environments barring some degenerate artifact action.

Man this feels like Strixhaven so far. There is a lot of text to wade through.

This is a very busy card. It's not complex, but it feels very inelegant to me.

Daretti. It's an actual engine whereas Engineer is a support piece. If I see Daretti early in a draft I can slide into an Artifacts shell knowing I have the means to cheat out guys ahead of curve, but I'll only pick up Engineer if I'm already in the deck.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily better, but it's an additional angle that promotes some versatility by being able to rebuild quicker as mentioned above. As the Aggro player you want to applying pressure early with a curve out, but when things stall out with beefier blockers that's when having a...

I'm amazed by the horrible camera technology that these leakers continually have access to. Perpetually stuck in 2004.

Gross. Less of this please.

So I finally found time to sit down and jam out to some Demon's Souls in the last week. Game is incredible, I'm constantly amazed by the insane details and all of the updates they've made to the original. The gameplay is familiar as when I first played through the game 6 years ago but so much...

Card is super solid. Not quite Tireless Tracker and more like an above cost beater than card advantage engine, but there are a lot of neat little synergies to exploit. Being a human is relevant, blinking for more clues is fun, and I like that it's in the sweet spot for Coco and Birthing Pod...
