Hahaha, I love using spreadsheets to work out arcane scenario's :D

nobody doing cube bullshit anymore apparently :p

That is a very cool planeswalker! The final ability isn't worded correctly. I think it should be... "Discard a card. When you do, return target artifact or creature card with mana value 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield." The intervening when-clause should enable you to...

You get one coin for getting to a certain point in your collection for a given (modern) set. I found that if you play regularly and buy your boosters, buying the corresponding mini-set will get you over the threshold to earn the coin skin. The other skin unlocks on the paid rewards track.

There were definitely a bunch of suspend cards that saw play across formats back in the day. It’s just that time hasn’t been kind to them as far as power level is concerned. Errant Ephemeron was an absolute beast, for example!

I mean, yes and no? There are 10 new cards in the deck, and even though five of them are Eldrazi themed, only two of them are actual Eldrazi. I was hoping for more, and I can imagine Brad was too.

I'm not really the pessimistic kind, but these four decklists feel pretty underwhelming considering their price point. Not too many cards I want to include in any of my many Commander decks. Admittedly I don't have a Sliver deck, because I think slivers are boring, and no planeswalker deck...

I’ld like to add that manifest support is a really bad fit for Eldrazi as well, as those frequently have cast triggers that don’t work if they’re put onto the battlefield fade down :facepalm:

They don’t use the old Mirage land border either. For a modern retro set these are really nice though!

It's not too late to edit your post and put these in spoiler tags ;)

I think Masters sets are great, because reprints make cards more affordable. In addition, reprint sets don't really contribute to set release fatigue, because there is nothing new to explore. Though maybe that's a personal thing? Anyway, cheaper cards are great, keep tanking the secondary...

Beware the grannies!

Latest word on BTP is that sphere is the new hotness. They're figuring spherecobra could easily take a slice of the online Magic π!

You can start a spoiler with "[ spoiler ]" (removing the spaces) and end it with "[ /spoiler ]" (again, removing the spaces). Alternatively you can select the image (or text) you want to put in a spoiler, then click on the three dots to the right of the text color icon, which opens a menu with...

I mean, I think Magic in general is a lot for a new player. These are three pretty straightforward keywords that are easy to explain, and they make for a relatively powerful uncommon. Much better than Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, Aberrant, or Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, I'ld say!

Flying was already a keyword in Alpha, the very first Magic set. PS. Please spoiler big images like that one, saves a lot of bandwidth for mobile people and scrolling for everyone ;)

A few notes on those suggestion; Single Combat disappointed in testing and played far worse then expected, and Sculpted Sunburst is iffy because it does nothing if you can't choose a creature (either because you don't have one or because your only creature got Swords'ed in response). By...

Same! Even though I'm not currently running it, it's probably in my top 5 cards that I tried to cut only to reintroduce it most often.

Fortunate Few is a poor man's Tragic Arrogance. Oddly Uneven is silver-bordered, but wipes all Goats without touching the troll (or the other way around, I suppose).
