    General Alternative Resource Systems

    A big difference between Hearthstone and Magic is that in Hearthstone mana doesn't have any colour, and they get around the problem of people playing all the best cards by splitting them up into classes that can only use their own or neutral cards. I much prefer the Magic risk/reward system of...

    General Alternative Combat Systems

    That last sentence was rather negative but I do like the game a lot, just not the tournament decks. Playing with just the starter pack or with just a few extra cards was really fun.

    General Alternative Combat Systems

    There's also the way Netrunner approaches "combat" with its run system. It's asymmetric so one player is always the attacker and one the defender, with the defender (the Corp) having various servers in which it can hide objectives the attacker (the Runner) needs to steal, which it does by...

    How has As Foretold been performing? That's a sweet card.

    There's some games which have a "lane" system as well - the only one I've played is the Heroes of Might and Magic TCG but I think the Elder Scrolls TCG has it as well. When you play a creature, you assign it to a particular lane, and it can either attack opposing creatures in that lane or the...

    General Rivals of Ixalan (RIX) Spoilers

    It's kind of interesting as an alternative to Exploration that's worse early but a better topdeck in the lategame. It's also more easily tutorable.

    I don't know how hard it would be to program but you could also do it like the Jhoira avatar on MTGO which gives three random instants/sorceries and then you choose one to cast, limited by mana cost like Onder suggests.

    I do love Flickerwisp, but I already run Restoration Angel and Kor Skyfisher as similar effects and I'm a bit wary of including too much flicker as it does add to on-board complexity. I couldn't fault anyone for doubling up. e: Sorcery speed flickering isn't so bad actually with regard to...

    I'm a big Vendilion Clique fan. It does a bit of everything but it never feels too oppressive, and is very skill testing.

    Riptide Laboratory in the ULD and human being a relevant type.

    Rishkar was the other one on my list. I'll give him and Nissa a try.

    I have noticed I'm a bit short on green 3s, at the moment I only have 4: Eternal Witness, Courser of Kruphix, Yavimaya Elder and Reclamation Sage. I want to get Tireless Tracker in there soon and I feel like I had another one lined up I wanted to try but it's escaping me at the moment. Are...

    Adding a sorcery speed restriction to his ability would go a long way.

    I think the idea with Stockpile is that paired with Braids you'll never run out of fuel.

    General Changing Keywords to make cards competitive

    Here’s my solution: https://imgur.com/a/G21TT So far I’ve just been telling people that this is a thing in my cube, and briefly why (“because protection sucks”) and even though sometimes they complain, it turns out they still play and still take the swords. I think that as the cube designer...

    I'd just change cards and not tell anyone. Who would really remember if Not Forgotten is an instant or sorcery. E: Using the proxy method if that wasn't clear.
