    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I mean, it's not completely irrelevant. You are right that not every common or uncommon has room for pushing the numbers, but most do. Trinket Mage sees less and less play in Vintage. mtgtop8.com lists only two Vintage decks that finished in the t8 of an event after 2019. Preordain, meanwhile...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Going into your customs, I feel like the first batch is threading out of white's pie with no real payoff. White isn't the "cheat out fatties" color, and you'ld need to include multiple customs to remedy this if you do want white to be about that. I don't think it's really worth doing that...

    Sets (NEO) Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Previews

    I know it's not entirely comparable, because it's not a DFC, but Sphinx of the Guildpact has the same line. I'm with Zoss on this one. Reminder text has no actual relevance to how a card works, it just helps players understand the cards better. In this case the default use case is the card...

    I suddenly remembered Caleb Gannon expressing similar wishes. I believe he has some videos you could draw inspiration from for your white 1st pick cards for vintage. This one has some cute designs. This one, specifically, delves into the topic of creating custom cards on the level of Time...

    For flavor and power reasons I would make that 'noncreature spell' on both ends of the deal. I wish they would do more white countermagic. The funny thing is, I opened this thread to suggest an aggro card with a Mana Tithe for noncreature spells as the adventure part. Adventures are a very...

    That's what you call 2020 hindsight :p

    Cancel but one mana if opponent spent no mana to cast a spell, or more mana than they have lands.

    Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you're having a good one, despite the pandemic still raging around the world.

    General Weekly Fun Q: Which Magic outfit would you wear?

    Real me is wearing shirts like the ones on Selfie Preservation on a daily basis during the summer. Unlike the peaslothosaur, I do like to wear shorts though :)

    Well, the lightning symbol is used in Pokémon cards, but energy in Pokémon works very differently from mana in Magic the Gathering. only on the Pokémon themselves. If we're going really basic, you have three main categories of cards: energy, pokémon, and utility cards, all of which can have...

    General Fight Club

    The Tezzeret art looks so unnatural, might be Francisco's worst MtG art, honestly. The flat face, the spindly, elongated metal hand. Unlike the old art, it doesn't even imply thirst, Tezz is just waving (?) at the potion. I like the FNM promo art a lot better, but it's still inferior to the...

    They aren't actual Pokémon cards though. They are Pokémon-flavored Magic cards, meant for a Pokémon-Magic-cross-over cube. I'ld say that decidedly falls within the realms of this forum, at least in my opinion :)

    This would be sweet at my son's birthday party :D

    Play Phage with Hive Mind out, then target it with Rite of Replication. Boom! (Make sure there are no other targets though...)

    General Weekly Fun Q: Which creature would you adopt as your pet?

    Eh. It comes back anyway. "Here kitty, kitty!" /me waves with a carrot.

    General Weekly Fun Q: Which creature would you adopt as your pet?

    Cauldron Familiar has way more than 9 lives as long as you have food. Did anyone ever think of that?

    General Weekly Fun Q: Which creature would you adopt as your pet?

    Why not adopt Magic's own pink bunny?! Or do you prefer a pink dog at the end instead? :D

    That very much depends on the curve of your cube. landofMordor has a very low average mana value, which means that their decks can function on lower mana counts. Losing a land is thus less problematic (or even unproblematic). Also, importantly, it means you can create a token with the Saga and...

    Underworld Cookbook with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar and Ovalchase Daredevil is a strong anti-creature combo, but I don't know if you have anything else going on that can really elevate this combo to also segue into something else.
