I was noticing that a lot more of these cards are appealing since I upped my power level just a bit.
I was giving some consideration to token-swapping a lot of cards. Make every 1/1 flyer a Spirit or a Thopter. Every 3/3 a could be a Golem or Beast. UB makes it even more tempting, as I kind of...
Snow Wastes could be a cool way to get snow into the basic box without giving everyone full access to snow lands. Having to take a colorless basic is a cost.
Having the burn spells all correctly worded is really nice because it kind of matters. I'll still have to re-do like 100 of my proxies or something.
EDIT: I just checked and it's 133 cards in my current list. Ouch.
EDIT2: Do we think it'll still be "leaves THE BATTLEFIELD"?
I was struck with the same feeling this morning when looking over the complete set. I'm strongly considering using the nickname frame and doing a Universes Within treatment.
I'm also feeling like these UB sets are going to have people looking at a commander list in a few years and feeling like...
It's an ETB scry 2 with three toughness, which blocks more early threats, and a super high ceiling. I think it's cool.
Hell, that Jace is no slouch, either.
I think those are a cool way to spice up all but the higher power formats.
It is an it isn't. Increasing Domain to 6 is a real consideration.
I was thinking that maybe the Desolate cycle should be. "T: Add C. T, Sac: search for land type tapped." A monocolored slow fetch seems a lot better than the current design.
Fuck Oko. I'm not even gonna read that piece of shit.
Tinybones looks sweet, but I hate letting players gain control of the opponent's permanents (outside of Threaten) because it gets shuffled into the wrong deck so easily.
I don't like OG duals or triomes, personally. I like there to be a cost to your fetchable lands. Triomes are probably fine in a somewhat high power environment where coming in tapped is more significant, but the only "cost" to running a dual is picking it in the draft and having it be...
Cathedral Acolyte is pretty cool. You can think of it as a mana dork because it essentially adds a mana worth of stats to your creature. Definitely a good add for anyone pushing counters.
I don't think it's racist to play cards from a game when you play the game. Was every player racist for the 30ish years prior to those cards getting banned? Of course not.
That said, we're fortunate that the banned cards aren't particularly playable and I don't see why someone would rally to...
