Great rebuttal Train, and I can honestly see your point. I will say that diamond has other uses besides being used for armor and tools, so it hasn't been rendered completely irrelevant by the addition of netherite. One analogy in MtG I can think of is how Kitchen Finks used to be a good...

Y'all be talking like these options don't exist: boros challenger tajic, legion's edge rally the peasants akiri, line-slinger skyknight vanguard Feather, the redeemed Hero of the nyxborn Akiri, fearless voyager Whether or not a Boros aggro deck is viable depends on how well you support it in...

To be fair, while netherite is more powerful, it's also significantly harder to obtain. Instead of comparing it to power creep, it's much more akin to the addition of planeswalkers to Magic.

Actually, I just watched this documentary today, what an amazing story! As an outsider, it's pretty amazing to realize Brady was the #199 pick in his draft, and six other quarterbacks got picked before him!

Aw yeah! I got published on CubeCobra today!

I think you talked at a much better pace now than before, just to add some more praise :)

Hahahaha, great footage :') Cool topic :)

True, but that does come at a cost of e.g. not being able to hold up a counterspell or cast an early cantrip. Just, be aware that Doomskar isn't a three mana wrath, it's a (potential) turn three wrath, is all I'm saying. Against aggressive decks a turn 3 wrath on the draw might be exactly what...

Don't know if you caught it, but the draft has started over in the Forum Games section Zoss :)

Pack 3:

Technically foretelling the card doesn't make it cheaper, you're still paying 5 mana total. But yeah, foretelling face up would have been quite interesting as well, since then you can use it as a rattlesnake.

I'll bite then. When a single vanilla {1}{G} 3/3 outclasses all other options at that price point, that's a design mistake. When a vanilla {1}{G} 3/3 becomes the norm, that's power creep. You are right that in both cases the vanilla {1}{G} 3/3 sets the benchmark for what is and what is not...

I think an important distinction between power creep and design mistakes is that power creep is a process that affects a whole class of cards, while design mistakes are individual cards that cause problems. We've experienced a slow and gradual power creep on creature stats in general since the...

Pack 2:

I'm not a big American football fan, but I just learned Tom Brady has won more super bowl than most succesful franchise did. That's insane!

I don't think this is a necessary evil at all, nor is it inevitable. Magic has so much depth that they could keep a consistent power level for decades more. It's not a lack of ideas that forces them to push the boundaries, it's an acknowledgment of them that safe sets are just boring to play...

Doomskar

Oh my goodness :')

Ethereal Forager is super fun to play with, and not broken at all. Because it needs to attack to get the exiled spells back, and it can only get back one spell per attack, it's really a fragile card advantage engine. I love the card, highly recommended!
