    Oh boy, I have good news for you! Do you know about the Scryfall tagger project? You can open the Tagger page for any given card in Scryfall from the Toolbox menu in the bottom left. The Island depicts Arcavios, surprisingly. I would have also bet on Kamigawa! The Swamp depicts Eldraine. The...

    To be fair, they only stopped doing blocks like, what, five years ago? In the olden days they wouldn't revisit mechanics that quickly either between blocks, it's just that they had more sets to explore a mechanic because they didn't switch planes. I'm confident many mechanics from the last five...

    So, a few "fun" details. Gandalf didn't claim part of the treasure, essentially working for free (or really working to push his hidden benevolent agenda), but the treasure wasn't actually split into 14 equal parts. For one, Bilbo's contract stated he could claim up to 1/14th of the treasure, but...

    Amass Orcs stacks with Amass Zombies (which all WAR cards will be errata’d to)! Your army will get both creature types regardless of the order you amass each creature type in. I fear we’ll have to make those Zombie Orc Army tokens ourselves though, as I don’t see WotC mixing them up in this...

    This question presumes I tested my cube. Haha, foolish of you to think I play my cube anymore! It's just a collector's item at the moment :')

    Why don't you have orders spoil if you're taking too long to cook them? After all, how long is a frog really going to stay tender if you keep heating the kettle? That would work with any kind of order system, I think, and you can have multipe orders open at the same time, as long as they're not...

    I think it's more Rivendell that was protected by magic in the sense that enchantments are magic though. Lothlorien was protected by Galadriel, wearer of the white ring, one of the Elven rings of power. The dark influence of Sauron on the woods around Dol Guldur (when he was gaining strength as...

    Sweet, then I will guess legendary creatures, artifacts, enchantments, lands, and sorceries. We've never seen a legendary instant, but we've seen six legendary sorceries. It just feels more natural for a sorcery to be legendary than an instant in my mind.

    General Aggro-specific removal; or, Lightning Bolt vs. Lightning Strike

    Lightning Bolt (and other flexible, cheap burn spells) are the perfect intersection of aggro's and control's aims and methods. A nice thought experiment is to consider how interested each archetype is in the following burn spells. Lava Spike Chain Lightning Strangle

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I believe the defending player must meet all blocking requirements without breaking any blocking restrictions, if able. If the opponent has two creatures (edit: that are able to block), they must block with both. However, if they have only one, they can't block (because of menace), despite the...

    So, do you have a shared energy pool, or does each player have a personal one? And how big is it for each turn? Also, if I read it correctly, middle right of the last pick costs 1 energy to cast, and gives you both a feather ingredient token and has you draw 2 cards? You could try to identify...

    Yeah, I think I get what you're saying. My suggestion is directly at odds with the core game tension you are trying to achieve, I gather?

    Oh, I just thought of a very "simple" default rule. What if you can exchange any three cards for two ingredients of your choice?

    That is really one you ought to test to get a feel for it. It sure does sound more complicated, and in game design often less is more. The question is whether you want to invest complexity points into this part of your game. Other ways to tackle this would be to introduce ways to get rid of...
