Yeah, no new information for me there either, though to be fair, a slightly newer post... from November. I mean, clearly the guy doesn't have the greatest set of communication skills, I just hope the rework is going somewhere...

I wish I could draw this pure! ;)

Thanks! I think Basic is better than Primal on cheap cards, because you don't need to put CC casting costs into place, making them easier to splash, but it's waaaay harsher than Primal on more expensive cards (e.g. Imperiosaur). I actually wish they would finally bring back Affinity, because...

Though I'm relatively content with Primal at the moment, I feel I can't ignore the less than enthusiastic feedback, so I've been brainstorming some different ideas. Design goals: I'm looking for a keyword or ability word that rewards players for playing less greedy mana bases. The set is...

Holy shit that is bonkers. Not touching that with a 400-foot pole o_O This is cute though :)

Jeez... Grixis splash white? What kind of mad drafting is this? :p Anyway, all of these would be good pickups for the kind of deck we've assembled so far, I think, though some (Myth and Arrogance) require a bit more fixing. Monastery Mentor Sentinel of the Eternal Watch Myth Realized Tragic...

Yeah, I think this is where we have different opinions on how useful the card is. But that's okay. One thing I will do for certain, if ever I finish this set, is to make a five color deck that aims to control the board while ramping up to Dyed Dawn. If it isn't viable at all, I can always...

I could never live with that filthy digitalized art! :p Edit: Wait! Wait! I fixed it!

That depends entirely on your cube. I tested Evo Sage in my cube, and it was wrecking games. The problem is that my cube's high end does not compete with repeatedly putting +1+1 counters on weenies. You are running Baneslayer Angel vs. my Eternal Dragon, Consecrated Sphinx vs. Sharding Sphinx...

I disagree, in my opinion it's perfectly fine to devote a single slot in the set to the big 5 color Primal spell. I myself like the card a lot, both from a flavor perspective as well as from a constructed possibilities point of view, so I guess I'm the target demographic for this kind of mythic...

Oh man, if this is going to succeed, that's gonna be a downer for Ben. He's been neglecting CubeTutor a bit, honestly, or at least been neglecting clear communication his customers. I don't really mind paying for what CT offers at the moment, but it's been ages since it last got a real update...

Yeah, I get that, and it's a good argument. The reasoning behind Primal is to diversify the metagame in this custom environment these people created. There's some incredibly strong fixing available in the format, and it leads to a lot of multicolor decks. Their last Grand Prix had, in the t8...

I think the message you should take away from Dom's post is that he thinks "all Fire Imps are beautiful", not that he thinks everybody should think "all Fire Imps are beautiful", completely in line with your point that beauty is a subjective quality :)

I think you're taking his comment too seriously. He's just saying he legit appreciates the Fire Imp art because it predates the current era of predominantly digital art. The "all" at the start of "all Fire Imp are beautiful" is already an indication of a tongue-in-cheek reply, and the fact that...

I'ld warn you that cards that enable you to repeatedly proliferate are very strong in +1/+1 counters shells. Evolution Sage and Grateful Apparition can, and will, run away with the game in such a deck.

Also, if you're not on team pro-Fire Imp, you're on team anti-Fire Imp! WHO'S THE PLANE'S BIGGEST PIMP?! FIRE IMP! FIRE IMP! wooOooOoOoOOoOOOoOOOOO! FI!-RE! IIIIIIIMP! Are you with us or not?! ;)

My initial idea was for the mythic "you win the game" card to be the only >2 colors primal cards. The other primal cards are slated to be CC (in all colors) and CD (maybe CCDD or CCD, not in all color pairs) cards. I was actually contemplating skewing the set to include slightly more green cards...

Urgh indeed... :(

To that I say, you've got to start somewhere! Besides, Affinity is a thing in modern, despite the mechanic showing up in only one block. Poison is a thing, despite being very linear and only showing up in one block. And so on, and so on. Playing the basic lands to support my cards doesn't...

I was about to say Knight is a relevant creature type as well, now that we have History of Benalia :) It's a shame this is not legendary or a human though...
