    Yes, it's quite obvious that it is literally possible to print the poison duals with an "enters the battlefield tapped" line. Similarly, you can literally have it etb untapped. That design even exists, though not in black-border Magic. It should also be obvious that my post literally makes no...

    I can recommend Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World if you want an accessible recap of (mostly Western) philosphy. Good book, good pace!

    to really make it tick, I think you need payoffs other than etb creatures. Something like Soulherder worked really well in its format.

    Yeah, you can’t have it etb untapped, because then it has no downsides 99% of the time. But you also can’t have it etb tapped, because then it’s just straight up garbage compared to even a Coastal Tower.

    Yeah, that is what I was saying! Wat I thought was black and white, is in fact black with the universes beyond diagonal stripes looking like white, but those same diagonal stripes are visible on Aragorn & Arwen. The only thing that doesn't explain is Gollum's high collector number.

    I was pretty confident, thinking it surely had to be the custom frame, but you are completely right about the pinlines. Those are clearly mono-black. If you look at Aragorn & Arwen's border, you can see the same border pattern, with stripes running diagonally. Very weird that the collector's...

    Looking at the border, Gollum is 100% {w/b} hybrid!

    Gollum can be anything from amazing to unplayable, depending on the casting cost. One observant individual noted that Gollum's collector number is higher than Aragorn & Arwen's, so maybe it's {w/b}? Aragorn & Arwen seem sweet for a slower cube, like Penny Pincher.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    A lot more playable. It easily represents massive amounts of damage already, but when you can make sure your first discard is a rootwalla instead of that Lightning Bolt you were sandbagging, that’s going to make a noticeable impact!

    The thing is that the gainlands literally have no downside in decks that don't care about villain's life total, plus it makes games go longer instead of shorter (like painlands). Even though Grove of the Burnwillows is a cute mirror of Karplusan Forest, I think it's a bad design for the game to...

    Deffo Elesh Norn, only ones she hasn't convinced are Urabrask's posse, but that's still at least an 80% approval rating!

    I'm guessing none of you read the Brother's War story ;) No, not the original Brother's War story, the one accompanying the set that came out last year. One of the main plot points revolves around time travel, or a temporal anchor, as they call it. I linked to the final story, where Teferi does...

    I mean, Cho-Manno might be long dead, though his daughter Oriss might still be alive?

    Pulp Nouveau: Mystery, Madness, & Magic

    This would be an interesting lens to view through for any lower power Riptide cube. It feels adjacent to my design goals, despite the vastly different starting point. For example, at one point I figured out I wanted to give aggro more breathing room, and I did this by moving my mana rocks to 3...

    We thought they couldn't compleat planeswalkers, but they could. Anyway, while I can laugh about the silly legend X + legend Y designs, like I said earlier, I don't actually think these are lazy or uninspired designs. They may seem a bit on the nose because they're literally calling out in the...
