Because conspiracy theories are generally not helpful, and often actively harmful.

But you're saying they should from a capitalist point of view? :confused: Printing one offs is fairly expensive, even for them, I believe, plus you're creating ridiculously expensive cards on the secondary market. Now, they say they don't care about the secondary market, but every choice they...

I was specifically looking how to create a draftable Hearthstone cube though, not trying to emulate Arena. I can already do that in Hearthstone itself :) (Though admittedly not against friends.) Also, if you have a lot of players, this is going to take quite a while to get through, that's 8 x 30...

1) Yes, the cmc of X-spells ignore the X-cost, so Clan Defiance is fair game for this hypothetical cube. 2) As a rules lawyer, aftermath cards are officially split cards. From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (November 20, 2020—Commander Legends): Aftermath A keyword ability that lets...

Yes, the idea is that this is draftable for up to 8 players. I did assign a color pair to each hero, but the color pairings are mostly cosmetic. They do signal a loose mapping of Hearthstone's classes onto Magic's color pie, but the main goal is to have 10 identifyable frames while drafting. As...

Remember when I was trying to figure out how to do a Hearthstone cube? I think I sort of figured out how I want to do it. Obviously it has to have quite a few custom rules, but this morning, while half asleep, I figured there are 10 classes now that Demon Hunter has been released, and if I frame...

Turn 2 Wall of Roots into turn 3 Tangle Golem op in mono green :D Turn 2 cycle Greater Sandwurm into t3 Necromancy is also nasty!

I really liked this post japahn! Good stuff!

I've personally never seen it not draw two cards. It's scry 2, draw 2 for two mana, except you have to wait a few turns and you have to signal what you're going to do. I really like it

That removal write-up is tight!

Two sagas that weren't mentioned yet but have been super decent additions for me are medomai's prophecy elspeth's nightmare

Nah, Lorwyn may not have been the best draft format, but I enjoyed its atmosphere immensely! Original Innistrad was awesome as well. There was ample tribal support, but there were so many different tangents you could take. That draft environment was incredibly deep despite having a sizable...

One other thing about Lorwyn/Morningtide limited that wasn't mentioned yet, is how isolated the tribes are. All of them are in a particular color pair, and each color pair is basically nothing more than the single tribe it supports. This made it really hard to pivot into another archetype/tribe...

I think this is fairly weak unless you're running dedicated tribal. Vizier of the Menagerie is going to be superior most of the time if you're looking for this effect. Realmwalker is definitely great in dedicated tribal decks though!

Ok, I need to actually switch to laptop to let this sink in and write a decent reply. Wow. Ok, so... You all know I support three color factions in my cube, and one of the Mardu cards is Kaalia, Zenith Seeker. She's a well-statted minion, but it's slightly tricky to make her etb work. Angel...

That Skald's pretty decent!

I think Pyre of Heroes is an absolute trap in most cubes. Birthing Pod is actually relatively hard to draft around, in the sense that it poses some very real restrictions to your creature base. You want to run creatures at least up to cmc 6 to enable a decent chain, and you want to run multiples...

I agree it looks nice! I think the name fits the art as well! Don't forget to credit the artist on the card though ;)

This art might be cool: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/isvoc/ugins-triumph/ I believe this is actually fan art of Ugin and Bolas fighting? It's two creatures, it features Mister Manifest himself. Could be a good fit!

Can't say I have. I'm currently thoroughly ensorcelled by Spiritfarer.
