Roar of the Wurm Vengeful Pharaoh Vizier of Many Faces

Who doesn't love trophies?

Yeah, Git Probe doesn't actually make the game more fun in my opinion.

These two are only alike in casting cost. Blossoming Beast is closer to Overrun... with buyback {0}.

More testing done. I've now played learn/lesson in every color. I really like the mechanic! Some additional notes. Pop Quiz is way better than I anticipated. If you draft correctly, this becomes an instant speed Divination that sort of tutors for one of its two cards. Red has the weakest learn...

Right, so there are clear areas where the existing five Summoning cards follow exactly the same convention, and there are clear areas where they differ. To keep the custom cards recognizable as part of the cycle, it's best to stick to the clearest common characteristics of the existing cycle...

Chris has had a link to his custom cards in his signature for years :)

It has to follow the convention of the other ... Summoning lessons in casting cost :) I'm going to test straight up 4 satyrs for {3}{r/g}{r/g} next. It's slightly better rate that way, but the problematic part of the card was the X in the casting cost in ramp decks.

As it turns out, this lesson is too good! But it's a super fun effect!

Preliminary results: My bots don't like drafting lessons The learn/lesson mechanic matched or exceeded my expectations in the two decks I drafted so far My custom {r/g} Summoning lesson plays super well but is way too good for a lesson I won a game by exiling Eternal Dragon with Introduction to...

It was an honest question. I don't understand why it has anti-synergy with something like Serum Visions. Maybe if you want to Counterspell before you draw from your "stacked" deck?

I think you can take a cue from regular set design, where each color pair has one or two strong mechanical identities that ideally overlap or have cross-synergy with mechanical identities in other color pairs. Once you fill in the mechanical skeleton you want to build your cube on, you can hunt...

Hahaha, good caption :) That first game was brutal! Well done Modin :)

I have tested Centaur Vinecrasher in the distant past, and wasn't really impressed by it. Might be different in my current environment that runs a few more fetchlands and cyclers though. Deathgorge Scavenger is in my current cube, and it's pretty fine. It attacking as a 4/3 for 2G (because you...

Doesn't the Apprentice trigger first, and you then stack your deck? Or are you talking about casting multiple deck-stacking cantrips in a single turn?

I will reiterate that the base level of the learn spells needs to be adequate for your cube for the mechanic to make any sense. It could very well be that it doesn't fit in a higher-powered environment. For what it's worth, I also frequent the MTG Cube Brainstorming Discord, which has a much...

It's just Silverquill. These people don't know when to stop writing! ;)

Also, with COVID wrecking social life, people are more likely to play digitally than irl.

It might take a while before I get results, but I certainly will in this case. I promise I will also get back to you all if it does play much worse than I anticipate ;)

That's not what I'm saying though. I have called lessons free real estate, yes, but from a player's perspective. What I mean is that, provided that the learn spells are of the appropriate power level to run them in your draft decks, lessons are just free value you can generate off of your learn...
