Probably fine? If the swords just end up being a +2/+2 boost in combat and allow for your opponent to still block and interact they're not too bad. It's when you get locked out from doing that due to protection from colors and get to trigger the effects over multiple combats that things get out...

Bring back Elf Supremacist Nissa. Make Magic Great Again.

I definitely prefer these toned down walkers to what they've been churning out over the last year so that's good, but not really feeling either of these options. Neat, but they don't really fulfill any needs for me.

I actually feel like Batterskull is tame nowadays compared to what's being printed on the regular. If you get into a grindy matchup and your opponent can start doing things like bouncing + redeploying in the late game or find a way to blink it continuously it can definitely get out of hand, but...

Opposition is fun for the player using it proactively and getting to draft around it, miserable if you're on the other side. It becomes more fair the higher powered the environment is due to swing-y haymakers and strategies being able to flip games, but that's also just not good gameplay. I...

1) Why do you run blue cantrips? They help to smooth out draws and give early plays to a color that doesn't really establish board presence till the mid-late game. Most U/x decks in my cube tend to care more about card quality than quantity and being able to dig to your high impact cards or...

Ranger-Captain of Eos Ranger of Eos Mystical Tutor Entomb Goblin Engineer I don't really run very many tutor effects, not a fan of going through the motions if there are too many available, but I do like the more narrow ones. The restrictions are what make them interesting and point drafters...

I currently run this as my main fixing suite for cube alongside other offerings: 20 Fetches 15 Shocks (10 Enemy for now) 5 BFZ Lands (Waiting on Enemy Cycle) Mixed Cycle (Manlands + Horizons Cycle) This has worked out pretty well for me. Double fetches I think is a must, it just adds so much...

Please god don't give me more hedron land art. It was cool the first go around, but I'm sick and tired of so many random cards having hedrons in theme. It made a lot of the Expeditions less impressive in BFZ with over-saturation. It's been played out like Bolas's horns were on Amonkhet.

Hydroid Krasis Hadana's Climb Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath Zegana, Utopian Speaker Simic had always been a somewhat problematic guild to design for over the years, but I think it's really shored itself up over the last two years. I've got a minor +1/+1 subtheme going on in Green with the...

I don't think they can hang in a higher power level, I definitely would not run these in my cube. They're neat with certain interactions, but they just don't get there unless you're in a very specific deck. The base bodies are just not something I'm interested in at all. I've played the hell out...

I think in the long run it'll be easy enough to sort with just stickers in the bottom left corner (just easier to parse with how most of us fan out a hand of cards). You can even double dip on colors by marking with numbers to denote which pack they came from (i.e. Red I, Blue II, etc.)...

Stifle has always felt way too narrow with it either being insane stopping an early fetch or really underwhelming being a dead draw late in the game. The best analog we have is probably just this guy: Nimble Obstructionist And it's mostly because he's never a dead card. Sure, you won't get...

I had initially brushed off Jumpstart as I won't be able to play the set in person anytime soon, but the concept of it is interesting enough to be worth exploring based off the packs you guys have been coming up with. Seems like a great way to get a quick game or two going between a few people...

I feel like current Magic design just lends itself to midrange goodstuff as a default so it isn't really all that necessary to design with it in mind. There's not really an explicit midrange archetype in my cube, it just kind of gets there through a combination of good cards somehow. If I had to...

Onder, it would be as you said if that were the intention of that post, but that's not what's being portrayed. Like dbs mentioned, equating the two movements is what's being done to legitimize one side and present them as two halves of one coin when that could not be further from the truth...

Noah is undoubtedly a scumbag, Nielsen is a little more tenuous. I don't think it's just something as simple as different political beliefs, some of the stuff that she was retweeting was abhorrent: I just think there's a HUGE chasm between someone who is supporting conservative values...

I'm not going to remove stuff of Nielsen's that I already have, but I'm not buying anything going forward if I can avoid it. Same with Noah Bradley stuff.

The only cards I think I'm going to run forever in my Golgari section are Pernicious Deed and The Gitrog Monster. Deed is just a valuable roleplayer and unique effect, while Gitrog is just so much fun to play and slots into just about everything I want to be doing in those colors. I think the...

It's definitely changed for the better. I pop in every now and then since I use mainly use Reddit for other subs, but around a month back things came to a head and the bigger dipshits ran away back to Discord once people started calling them out and they realized people were tired of their shit...
