I think the idea that the pieces of the game are, or should be, worth something in and of themselves, and that this is something accepted by many players when perhaps it shouldn't be is a valid point.

Artificer's Assistant seems pretty bad. What about Blurry Beeble for artifact support?

Baron Harkennon, of the Dune series.

Someone else first picked Oketra's Monument and drafted around it, and went 3-0 again. I'm really excited about this card, it's the real deal for sure.

Astral Slide because it's a super cool card and I love it

I think this is a really cool mechanic, with a lot of flexibility and design space, and it's very flavourful to boot. It gives spirits a mechanical identity that they were missing in the Innistrad blocks in a way that totally makes sense. I don't have much to comment on the specific card...

Chupacabra just looks so sheepish. If I didn't support humans I'd switch to the choops, but Nekrataal just about holds on due to that and the more relevant body. I don't like the non-black restriction but the creature type just about outweighs it.

Looking through the list, these are the cards that jump out as the first ones I'd like to cut: Unwavering Initiate Trostani's Judgment Diminish Revolutionary Rebuff Cancel Overflowing Insight Illusory Wrappings Grasping Scoundrel Banewhip Punisher Aetherborn Marauder Grisly Spectacle Death...

Honestly I just didn’t read what izzet guildmage does. They work with Nivix though!

Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time, Gush, Fireblast

Sickle Ripper

Chainer's Torment is one of the sagas. It was also the name of the novel for Torment the set, apparently.

I've been going back over the Commander 2016 stuff and I'm interested in peoples' experiences with these cards: Atraxa, Praetors' Voice Breya, Etherium Shaper Tymna the Weaver Reyhan, Last of the Abzan Has anyone tried the 4-colour commanders? Are they remotely castable? Any other partners...

Update on this one: I had Oketra's Monument in a BW aggressive/tokeny deck yesterday and I liked it a lot. I only got it into play a couple of times, but there were several instances where it was the card I was most hoping to draw. And that was in a deck without Kor Skyfisher or Squadron Hawk...

I'm playing Pauper but if I'm home in time, I'll play

Any format where a 6 mana 2/2 is in the discussion for first pick is a good one

I've watched a few LSV videos where he pairs Vedalken Dismisser with Mark of Eviction and it's as filthy as it sounds.

Either a bounceland or Selesnya Guildmage for me. The bouncelands because they're great, Guildmage because it's basically a bomb (assuming it's of a similar power level to original Ravnica).

I might give this a try tomorrow. For anyone who's curious, the trial is here: http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/170588778208/the-great-designer-search-3-trial-3-the-design

The Bladewing family really need to come up with some more original names.
