    It seems like the kind of card that's good with a buff, which was my original thought. Throw +7/+7 at it and go nuts with your trample. Outside of when it's doing well, Velrun is probably right. It's a lame 2/3 with a double color cost for three. Even if it's good, it's probably...

    Kels is nice. Good body. Have to pay mana to get value. "Indestructible" could be problematic at times, but it looks like a winner. I find the Moor (and likely cycle) to offer some excellent consistency to the drafting section. A BG land, for example, works for one guild or four triplets. This...

    Prophetic Flamespeaker Is this any good? Pre-installed trample to go with the double strike seems sweet. Obviously it would have buffs in the format to give it power.

    I might lean towards adding stats rather than down-costing a repeatable tutor. Maybe a 2/4 to avoid bolts or a 4/2 if you'd rather see an attacker? I think I like it as a 2/4, probably. You can try Thalia's Lancers, at least. It's an $11 uncommon that doesn't even seem that good. It's gotta be...

    Yeah. I guess it depends how much you want to push the theme, really. If you want the 5c one and a shrine deck, I'd run like one 5c one and two sets of the rest. If you want it a little more in the background, one set is probably fine. Or maybe run three per color, doubling up on your preferred...

    Cut Engineer. Card's randomly a total dickhead. I'd also take a look at my ramp options if I were you. Your green section excels at ramping out some fat and locking aggro out. I had this problem in a past cube where green absolutely destroyed aggro because it was always hitting a t2 4/4 and/or...

    So, I have a bit of a designer handicap where I love multicolored cards, narrow build arounds, and great art. With that said, I come to answer one of M21's greatest questions: Am I really this stupid? Let's take a look at the shrines by color to see if they cooperate with each other and if...

    It's almost like a mini Ultimatum. I really like it. None of the effects are too brutal, but they'll really add up. I love Radha's design. A 3/3 for 3 is a great baseline body. It's offering a very RG way to "draw" cards. And it has a sweet ability for later in the game when your...

    I've been hot on flying tribal and this is so sweet.

    Which happens to be how long that combo will take to resolve online. I rather like that GR dude. If a 4/3 for 4 is respectable in your format, it's got some interesting abilities on top of it. I gotta say that I love the way they've been designing these flying cards. This is how you design...

    I don't really know that it's considerably less "in your face" to put a dozen looters and a dozen Zombifys in the same draft. I don't feel particularly smart for sifting through some cards and paying 4-5 mana to return one to play. People know that's a deck unless they're extremely...

    I was too distracted looking at her weird face. Nice detail, nice card. Great for anyone who can reanimate a little slower.

    I'm personally not a fan of green cards interacting with one of green's main weaknesses. Reminds me a bit of Glademuse. That said, I bring you a fight club: Ringwarden Owl Please help. In all seriousness, this guy is an interesting and new(?) kind of effect: Not that we needed it, but...

    Incinerator is a cool card with decisions to make whose power level is determined by the designer's choice in burn spells. It's a pretty cool addition to a lot of cubes, I think. The cost is a bit prohibitive, but it looks pretty powerful in the right deck and has impressive base stats.

    Came in to post the dumb green piece of shit. Do you think they randomly added enough text to it to make it playable? Might as well just reprint Questing Beast in every set forever and save yourselves the trouble of buying new art, because we know this took no time to develop.

    Creature — Human Shaman “Double Dragoner’s” power is equal to the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard. When “Double Dragoner” enters the battlefield, discard up to two cards, then draw that many cards. Fuck ya. Much easier to cast than similar cards with the first effect and...

    Does anyone need more graveyard payoffs? Maybe graveyard enablers?

    F//F is more consistent and flexible. CoW is more exciting. I play both in The Black Cube and I like both, but F//F makes more decks. _____ Assuming your players are going to actually be casting the Eldrazi Titans rather fairly, am I right in thinking that Emrakul 2 is the strongest due to the...

    I'd have to suspect Kaladesh would be most likely to construct an orrery. The people in the art don't look NOT... Kaladeshian? But I'm not sure there's anything conclusive here. Definitely an orerry displaying the suns of Mirrodin.
