    General Fight Club

    Why not both? Card advantage is hard enough to come by in white!

    Stolen by the Fae is testing well, and nobody is talking about it. A scalable Mist Raven that makes multiple bodies is preeeeetty solid! Sure, you can't usually curve it out as an answer to their curve, but UG ramp adores the heck out of this card!

    The Coliseum

    Yeah, the basic deck struck me as core to the concept, and to the experience, so I didn't want to scratch it :) Also, you are probably right that my cards are too strong, but hey, battlecruiser magic! ;)

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Have you thought about cutting white?

    Shrek uses a more classical fairy tale as a medium though, while Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail is wholly irreverent, no layers needed.

    The Coliseum

    They're evolving! I think this is a nice starting point. The numbers, like how many exhaustion cards you can banish, how many times you have to discover, etc, can be changed. Decided to put my cards in spoiler tags, because I feel like I'm hijacking your thread a bit ;) I do think the basic...

    He's talking about the killer rabbit. Or possibly swallows, though whether of the African or the European variety, I don't know. ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! PS. Besides Oathsworn Knight being inspired by Monty Python, apparently King Kenrith's attire is inspired by that worn by King Arthur in...

    When testing cards, I just add them to the file. Only when it tests well will I look for a cut. That being said, I'm probably taking out Borborygmos. That looks like a weird cut, but I've found that the monocolor, tricolor, and artifact sections contain enough high cmc ramp payoffs, that I think...

    Monty Python made a whole movie (Monthy Python and the Search For the Holy Grail) set in a parody Arthurian setting. Therein lies the problem though, as Eldraine definitely isn't a parody Arthurian setting.

    So far, off the testing cards, Embercleave has been potentially too good, and Inquisitive Puppet has been underwhelming. Gingerbrute, Glass Casket, Grumgully, Scalding Cauldron, and Shambling Suit have all been gas :)

    The Coliseum

    So, a simple class system like this is what I had in mind. As you level up, you unlock additional cards, that you will cast when you reach a turn equal to your level. For Wounds I wanted a more general term, since there's a lot of stuff that could happen to you that aren't necessarily wounds. I...

    It's even a black knight :)

    The Coliseum

    I'm wondering if I can cook up a variant that takes a little less time and whether it's worth it, considering that I usually play with 2, 4, or 6+. I was thinking about simplifying the classes, so that a single class gives you a deck that lets you play an increasing amount of cards on curve...

    The Coliseum

    Sounds way more complicated than it needs to be, and awesome to do :)

    You're definitely pushing for a more powerful cube than I would if you're considering stuff like Shambling Remains. That's a 4/3 for two (!) mana!

    Best name for a counterspell ever :) This is kinda cute, might be just impactful enough to see play? Sacrifice an artifact you say? Hmm... Probably still too low power. This is pretty cool as a combat trick that turns into an acceptable body for an aggro deck. Cute with Feather...

    Snecko Eye is one of my favorite relics. You can get some really weird combos going :) I think my favorite strategy is Silent Shiv. I got the Time Eater boss playing that strategy one time and was like, how am I going to beat that with this build!? Apparently by playing 12 cards. Every. Single...

    I'll go on record and say I have no problems with the current frame, and I don't like the alternate adventure frame (though the art on the alternate frames is unfortunately gorgeous).
