    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Part two: Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome card! I am pretty sure this is finally, finally the card to convince me to cut one of those two Young Pyromancers in my cube! Magic 8-ball says: Ask again later. I had no way to pump him, so all he was doing was getting back cantrips...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    I was testing against AI opponents, so you know they're not as good as a human across the table. Still, games like these do let me get a feel for how powerful a card can be. I think Sorin can certainly be a good options for a cube like yours, it's pretty fun to play with. I'm just worried that...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Honestly, pretty much, yes. I mean, I wanted to try him out because I was obviously the greatest doomsayer as to the new Sorin, but he ran away with games as I initially expected. In one game I was board stalling, without being able to attack, because I was at a really low life total. And then I...

    Been testing a bit... This card is okay. Either you play it early and the proliferate doesn't do much, if anything at all, or you play it late, and the body doesn't do much. This card is very good. Like Thrummingbird, but in a much better color for the effect. This card is busted...

    Yeah, I like updated Reki a lot better than Leorian :P. Good to hear you already tested out Leorian, and if your playgroup handles him just fine, that's sweet!

    General Fight Club

    I think this one comes down to your cube's mana base. Do you want to support 3+ color decks? Crackling Drake signals a 2 color environment. Do you have enough fixing to even support heavy 2 color decks? If you want to encourage monocolored decks, CD might also give the wrong impression. In a...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Well, as a player, I would want to make sure my opponent wrote down the correct keywords, meaning they had to search all of their zones, reveal any legendaries, and keep the zones apart anyway. I don't think writing down the keywords beforehand is going to help all that much in terms of how fast...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    It depends a lot on the power level of your cube, I'ld say. You have a fresh legendary theme in {g/w} that Blackblade Reforged will be very good in, though! Gideon Jura also is a very strong planeswalker for cube, I actually had to cut it from mine for power level reaosns. Path to Exile is...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I like Tome of Legends, but I think adding the scry is probably a bit too much :) Who knows though, you're at a slightly higher power level than me. Maybe I should actually proxy that design up and test it a bit, as I do like it the design as a way to get some much needed white card advantage...

    https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/the-rumor-mill/808816-signature-spell-book-gideon Woah, Gideon's Spellbook is full of feels. That Rest In Peace is beautiful :'(

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    I think Garruk is a likely next lead. As a planeswalker hunter you would expect him to end up on Ravnica, but he didn't, so my hunch is that they're saving him for a near future storyline. That said, Elspeth's storyline also needs resolving, and the Gatewatch is down a monowhite walker, so...

    Card/Deck +1/+1 Counters

    I had to power down GW counters twice in my cube, because it was too strong. It's an archetype that is easily pushed into a state of "too much synergy". I'm going to test the proliferate cards for sure, but there's a reason I cut Thrummingbird and even Volt Charge from my cube, and the reason is...

    I really like that oath for my cube. Lightning Helix on a legendary permanent is just perfect for my {w/w} historic heart :)

    This is a really solid uncommon by the way: Great tool for self-mill, and a sweet, sweet combo with this card: Living Death

    That's pretty cool! I love how almost everyone in that spoiler thread is like: "Brainless idiot. You had the fate you deserve." and variations thereoff :')

    Oh boy... looks like Bolas learned nothing from the fate of our old friend Xenagos.

    Site News How to: Card Tooltips, Card Images, and Decklists

    Nope, that is, nothing we as forum users can do. I believe this forum uses a plug-in for the ci-tags (and the other card- and deck-related tags), but I don't know whether it's custom code the forum admin could change, or whether it's some library we use but cannot change ourselves.

    The converted mana cost of spells without a mana cost is 0, which means you can indeed cast Ancestral Vision, and other cards like it, from your graveyard with Finale of Promise.

    I've played Debtor's Knell in my cube in the past, and it's definitely not a "good-stuffy" tool. I've only ever seen it get played in slow, grindy decks, and it's actually very powerful if you can get it to stick without being too much behind on board and life.
