I was kinda exaggerating a bit - I do think it's kinda annoying that Painter's Servant is pretty much the only card that can make a spell multicolored. I'm personally excited for Flotsam Cast Flotsam to plot Jetsam! It's foolproof!

It's also kinda weird hearing arguments like "it dilutes color identity" and "it will homogenize decks" from people who play a format where a bunch of color breaks are staples, people generally play 3+ color decks, and where (from my understanding) significant chunks of decks are copy-pasted...

You see, this is way more rational than the first time I built a deck with it, which was a weird Pauper combo deck focused on one-shotting people with Harvest Pyre + Ragged Veins. In that specific context, Book Burning targeting yourself is just a {1}{R} Sorcery that deals 7 damage to villain...

I was checking Scryfall for something unrelated, and noticed we got a new spoiler Sozin's Comet I'm glad that this is a combat ritual, because holy crap. "Free Seething Song for each attacking creature" isn't something I had on my bingo card.

Living Lore Book Burning Runeflare Trap Yavimaya Dryad Crackleburr These cards just sing to me at a primal level. I cannot explain why. Like, I wouldn't even say they're my top cards (I don't know my top cards!), these are just the cards that sprang into my brain when I thought of "cards that...

The two cards are basically incomparable? It's kinda like asking us our thoughts on Cryptolith Rites vs. Druid of the Cowl. What do you want out of that slot?

That's one way to use it, but it's also usable as a support-y counterspell. You could, for example, Reversal a Baleful Mastery but leave the target the same, letting the original caster keep the spell. I'd cut Iconoclast over Saheeli, simply because Saheeli is a far more exciting card...

You can do stuff with gifts: Long River's Pull Blooming Blast Valley Rally Wildfire Howl Gifts Ungiven Harmless Offering On a similar note, there's also the Hunted cycle: Hunted Phantasm Hunted Dragon If you're willing to include the opposite (cards that are really good if you can get an...

Honestly, in terms of UB sets, I feel like the Assassin's Creed approach is probably the best for character-focused IPs like Spiderman or Turtles, since then you can just focus on the "good stuff". It's a shame that WotC didn't bother to even try to figure out a way to make limited work with...

The year is 2035. In-universe sets have been boiled down to Secret Lair drops. The last unique in-universe card printed was in 2031.

Black absolutely loves counting swamps: Defile Mire's Toll Crypt Ghast Corrupt Cat Gator Cabal Coffers Lake of the Dead Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Having mono-black control be an archetype feels very lands-y to me.

Thanks - I watched the show in 2010/2011, so when exactly stuff happens is kinda hazy. ... Anyway, turtles! I'm curious about how the heck the Boss thing is going to work: Baxter, Exzzperimental Zzientist Krang, Dimension X Overlord Rat King, the Chaosbringer Shredder, Foot Clan Overlord I...

I mean, only one of the two sets has a card portraying a totalitarian dictator publicly mutilating his teenage son as retaliation for speaking out of turn in a war council meeting, and it ain't TMNT. EDIT: For clarity, it's not one of those things where the series just implies that that's...

Scale Up Halsin, Emerald Archdruid Creeperhulk March of the World Ooze Gigantomancer Ooh, and there's also... Bloodspore Thrinax Mycoloth Skullmulcher

Weird hypothetical question: imagine a format where, at the start of each game, each player got some number of Voucher tokens with "when you cast a spell, you may sacrifice this token instead of paying one of that spell's additional costs". How many Vouchers do you think each player should get...

Something I literally just noticed: both Emptiness and Isilu, Carrier of Twilight use -1/-1 counters. I wonder if that means we're going to get a -1/-1 counter set (like OG Shadowmoor) or if they're going to do the Duskmourn thing where part of the set uses -1/-1 counters and another part uses...

Yeah, I'm curious why the two big classics aren't even in consideration. I'm assuming that you simply aren't interested in Divination or Murder for CCC? I also feel the need to bring up the following two cards despite them being kinda naff, because they're pet cards and seeing them warms my...

It's honestly kinda amazing how Prismari got a better/more interesting graveyard micro-archetype than Lorehold: Efreet Flamepainter Torrent Sculptor Flamethrower Sonata Elemental Masterpiece Creative Outburst Magma Opus And, to add insult to injury, the "reanimate a small creature" option was...

Defabricate Trickbind Repudiate These are all quite a bit slower than Stifle (which makes them a bit harder to abuse), but Defabricate and Repudiate both have some pretty nice upsides and Trickbind just stops everything from a particular permanent for a turn if that's at all relevant.

The looping suspend cards are awesome, but they're only really worth it if the game's slow. Also, if we're looking at UB support, why not go with Ecstatic Beauty?
