    Mystic Remora Has anyone tried this out? I'm not sure whether in practice it'll play more like Rhystic Study or Standstill but I'd like to give it a shot. Also helps with the smirking fish theme in blue.

    Aston's Cube

    Yes, Cranial Plating in particular killed people very quickly. The Swords don't have protection in my cube so they're a little easier to deal with, but with the amount of evasive threats I had they were still very effective. Jitte I think has sadly had its time. I personally don't mind...

    Aston's Cube

    Cubemas 2: Cube Harder was this weekend, and it was very well attended with 13 people over the course of the day. We had two nine player cube drafts, two poker games, smash bros, Theros: Beyond Death and probably even more that I didn't see. Here's a couple of decks: Ones 1 Birds of Paradise...

    X really sucks to play against, so I'm not sure it's worth the effort. You can activate it on draw step to lock your opponent out of the game apart from instant speed stuff, and it's very hard to get rid of.

    I haven't really absorbed the whole spoiler yet but right now there's only a couple of cards I want to try Nightmare Shepherd Anax, Hardened in the Forge Nightmare Shepherd seems insanely strong with all the good ETBs I'm playing, it might end up being a bit over the top. Anax seems very...

    Aston's Cube

    Couple decks from Cubemas. We drafted twice but it was a bit chaotic so I only managed to record my deck and one other deck, both from the second draft. I had a sweet UR spells deck in the first draft with Young Pyromancer, Saheeli, all that good stuff, and a couple of the best Manamorphoses of...

    Oracle is good because it puts the extra lands and some card advantage to find them all into one package. Azusa needs a lot more building around as you need to consistently find extra lands in order to take advantage of her. If you have that - cards like Life from the Loam and fetches...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I kicked around some ideas for this and my system would have cards like this:- As you draft ~, reveal it and a creature in your draft pool. Then choose one of the following that hasn't been crossed out:- Add {W} to the mana cost and add Lifelink Add {U} to the mana cost and add Flying Add...

    if I used Gold Mine i'd get players to mark the sleeve and have it reset after each draft. In fact if I can get my hands on one, that's exactly what I'll do.

    Dovin's Acuity Anyone tried this? I have a high power level so I'm not sure spending 3 mana for a card and 2 life is worth it, even if you can rebuy it, but maybe if you built around it specifically.....?

    Return to Ravnica was the first set where they greatly increased their print runs to keep pace with Magic's growth from Zendikar forward. I don't know whether they've given this as a reason but it makes sense to me as to why they would start there.

    I don't know how practical it would be, but a custom frame like the miracle frame but upside down would be sick. That's probably outside of what MSE can manage, though.

    i'm mad about Leyline of Abundance because it doesn't work with Seton, Krosan Protector the way I want it to for EDH. Get it out of here!!!

    That's true but also I don't think it matters at all. If we're making up completely new cards, why should we stick to an arbitrary template?

    I really like Born to Be Wild. Both sides fit and the pun is just *italian chef kiss* E: I'm talking about the name specifically, but I'm also a fan of the card itself.

    It looks like one of those cards that takes a couple readthroughs to really understand what it does, and I find those tend to get overlooked about even if they're good.

    The only card I want to try for sure is Emry, but I'll see how other things feel after having played with them a bit.
