    General Dual Faced Cards

    Delver of Secrets has always been a trap in my cube when I still ran it (years and years ago). You need an insanely high number of instants and sorceries to make it work, or a boatload of Brainstorms, I guess. The problem is that his flip chance is typically going to be way less than 50%.

    General Selling Collection

    2161 USD is a criminally low price o_O Whoever ends up buying this lot can make a lot of money if they invest the time, provided they want and manage to sell the cards, of course. I'ld be tempted to invest, but I see there's already other takers :D

    Well what do you know, Mox Jet beats out Mox Ruby for Caleb! Mox Pearl is the best Mox though! ;)

    General Fight Club

    My vote goes to Mox Ruby for this exact reason. Because aggro decks are typically very low mv, Ruby Mox helps you to sequence out multiple threats in a turn, accelerating your clock significantly. All the Moxen are broken, but Mox Ruby and Mox Pearl are the best ones, because they allow you to...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Do the Geistblast thing and add: "Exile ~ from your graveyard: You may cast sorcery spells as though they had flash this turn." Edit: Or the Reflector Mage clause?

    Option two is extremely unlikely given all the other art choices the male painter made and the fact that this is card art without any backstory. Captain of the Watch was painted like a male fantasy of a sexy lady in boob armor, and the lipstick (and eyeliner) are part of that whole art trope. An...

    I think you are right that women can wear lipstick if they want to, but sigh was critiqueing the use of lipstick in the art for Captain of the Watch as part of the total package. Combined with all the other art choices, like the pose and the boob armor, it creates the impression that the art is...

    I think this is something worth talking about, so I don't regret you bringing it up :)

    I don't think you can do that specific style with MSE, unfortunately.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    The mainframe template has a fullart option, as well as a borderless option, depending on which variant you want. You can see the various options when you hit the Style button.

    Really? I think it takes the word "breastplate" a bit too literally. Let's just say this is a good way to guide opposing blades to your vital organs...

    There have also been times (when I ran it in my cube) where it was correct to play it as a 4/3 flying lifelinker, and the difference between five and six mana is huge (more than one turn, on average). If you factor in the blink suite, Captain tends to clog up the board harder than Angel, simply...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Good catch. That does make this variant more unwieldy. Damn, the more I think about it, the cleaner the disturb variant looks, except that it uses two card faces :rolleyes: I gave the aftermath version a rework. It's a bit weird, but to me the back part of the spell looks better without the mana...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Personally, I dislike the old border, but one upside it has is that you can use the tombstone icon to denote cards that have a use in the graveyard. So, for anyone interested, here's three versions of Confine to Madness in the old frame; version one has the old wording that was in use around...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    No worries! We can keep this discussion going in two different threads to confuse potential new Riptiders! :D A (small?) downside of doing it the Geistblast way is that you lose out on story through the art that no longer fits. I added the flavor text, but this makes the font rather small...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I really don't think it has to be. I mean, sure, the official rules specifically talk only about permanents transforming, but Startled Awake still exists. There also isn't any reason the rules couldn't be rewritten to allow for transforming instants/sorceries, so for a custom card I think this...

    General Favorite Cards You Don't Run

    Also, while the rules explicitly and exclusively talk about "transforming a permanent", there is actually already an exception; Startled Awake is a non-permanent card that transforms (into a permanent). So, I believe that the rules don't mention non-permanents transforming because the mechanic...

    Read closely. That is not what the flavor text is telling you. It's actually implying something far more sinister (and altogether fitting for Innistrad's horror tropes) in combination with the artwork...
