Shame it's a green 4. Looks fun but doesn't synergize with particularly much. Untap Nykthos and creature-based tricks. Dig it, but green 4 is my toughest slot. EDIT: Could support some sort of untappers deck to get hexproof flinging around with payoffs like Nykthos, Circle of Dreams Druid, or...

For what it's worth, I'm on Claim the Firstborn and Hijack right now, as I have an artifact theme. If RR seems like a problem on Hijack, I'll likely go back to regular Threaten. I think it's significant to note that Threaten is very unfun if you have a Timmy enabling format. I've had my Ulamog...

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. I didn't even read the "Threaten" because I'm so used to that effect. Removed! Damn.

I don't even think of that as a Threaten. More of a splashy game ender than anything else.

The thing about this kind of effect is that it could make any card cheaper. That's why only making tokens cheaper is so interesting, at least to me. It's really difficult to speculate at this point because the game is too deep to narrow down "ways to make things cheaper," but I'm looking forward...

Grab is actually really good as an instant Threaten and a backup Fling! I'm going to add that, as I would love to Fling my Daemogoth Titan!

It all comes together.

Yeah, but how are we going to make a drawback on something that's already 0-1 mana? Might be something kind of boring like paying life, I don't know. It could totally be a Horror token with a drawback that makes it cheaper, too. Unclear what part of the process has the drawback.

I was surprised when I read this. Cheaper than a 0/1? What??? Interested and honestly skeptical lol.

Maybe you're both right...

Had more time to search. There's a decent discussion around 2007 and/or Ravnica style ideas starting here: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/cbs.286/page-159#post-89712 Quite a few thoughts on how to approach such a thing and how to get your format to function in a similar way, although the...

Yes (and no).

I wouldn't mind seeing more. It's a nice value mechanic in retail. If they put enough density at common, it could crack some slower cubes. Agreed and I'd like to hear why from anyone who thinks it is. There's the mildly exciting Promised Kannushi that displays the flexibility of the mechanic...

I'm questioning what you said because it sounds, to me, very questionable. If you want to defend how the mechanic is broken, I'm open to that. I meant Digger, as Soulshift is a delayed Gravedigger, basically, except that the Digger can get back any creature. Not what he said. 5 color slivers...

It's only as narrow as the overwhelming majority of other tribal cards. I'd hardly say it's the most narrow. Your preferred kind of tribal is a relatively recent style. A delayed "most narrow" Gravedigger is hardly "really powerful." Has anyone said this? Is that why the most expensive...

I used to have a Type 4 stack but found that the creatures and ways of ending the game were always suffering due to their lack of Flash and general vulnerability to get X-for-1'd by sweepers. How have you addressed this?

Soulshift would be one of my favorite mechanics if there were more worthwhile cards with it. GBw tribal graveyard card advantage? Love that! Forked0Branch Garami This one's sweet! And a few others are kinda ok...

Hopefully they realize the original block sold poorly because the designs were shit, not the thematics. I didn't even know this lol. Hopefully right. Neon for the newbies, Kamigawa for the real ones.

Exactly. I'm nervous, but it's fine as long as I get some ninjas. Hopefully they go ninja crazy and there's a ton at common and uncommon for my plummeting power level.

Sanctum Weaver has a great floor and it isn't A then B. The rest sort of sucks. A lot of the enchantment stuff is good with density, but the density isn't nearly as free to amass as it is for artifacts. More cards that count enchantments currently in play rather than ones that come down after...
