Sometimes you really need to gain 4 life.

No worries, I didn’t go into much detail, so it definitely was a point worth expounding! Edit: I also used the phrase "under no circumstance", which was unfortunate in hindsight. I should have proof-readed my response, but it was getting rather long, and I was at work XD

I agree, hence my observation on Figure of Destiny, which is really the only card on Train’s list this line of reasoning applies to. Kitchen Finks is great in a {w/b} deck, for example, as long as you can support a double white card.

I wouldn't cut the hybrids. One can debate where hybrids should be put, but one thing I am personally a very firm believer of, is that they should under (edit: almost) no circumstance be regarded as gold cards (edit: except if, as Taamas rightly points out, the number of hybrid pips reaches a...

Asking cute girls is a valid strategy :D But yeah, it's pronounced [egg-sile], not [egg-sai-lee], the final e is silent.

Ancient Mantra seems really weak, shouldn't that be "If you do, draw two cards"? There are a ton of super sweet designs though, so I'm nitpicking! As for your haiku's, Sophisticate's Haiku isn't one. "Exile target creature" is just 6 syllables ':) "Exile two target creatures" would work, but...

I went out of my way to find a reason to re-add Topplegeist to my cube a while back. I don't like insular keywords, so I had cut it before, but Scuttletide, Dragon's Rage Channeler, and my pet card Extricator of Sin means there are now enough cool delirium cards in the right colors and at the...

Mechanically, Ikoria was absolutely wild! Mutate, companion, three randomly colorless nonartifact creatures, keyword counters, a shards matter theme...

I wouldn't be surprised if WotC makes a reverse evoke in this vein. Coalesce {M} (If you cast this card for its coalesce cost, it becomes a Horror creature as it resolves.) No flashback double whammie potential, but a pretty clean way to make modal cards that act as noncreature spells on the...

I have small dice ready in five different colors. Green ones are usually used for +1/+1 counters, and then you can use a purple one for the deathtouch and a red one for the menace. People manage XD

Call of the Death-Dweller is such a cool card though!

Ok, so it’s currently this: Coalesce {M} (You may cast this from your graveyard for {M}. If you do, put it into the battlefield as a Horror creature after it resolves. Exile it if it would leave the battlefield or not resolve.) There's a bunch of stuff happening here, which makes it a...

If you Unsubstantiate an unearthed or coalesced creature, it gets exiled. I think coalesce might need some work, the reminder text looks a bit wonky. Playing D&D now though, so I’ll have to look at it later :) Edit: Shit, I typed a whole thing, and then I realized it doesn't work as I wanted it...

The problem is that Revelations aren’t creatures by nature. When you flicker a revelation, it tries to return a non-permanent card to the battlefield, which can’t happen. This situation is covered by the following two comp rules: 304.4. Instants can’t enter the battlefield. If an instant would...

Actually, what about... One Track Mind {U} Instant Conjure three cards named Obsessive Search into your hand. Hmm... I wonder what happens when you discard Obsessive Search to hand size, and pay the madness cost... Edit: I asked a judge, and they say a new cleanup step happens, in which you...

"Reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. If none of them share a card type, put those cards into your hand. Otherwise put one of them into your hand, then put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order." There, fixed! ;)

I forgot about that game, what a nice vid on Lightning Bolt to remind me :)

Don’t be, I credited you from the start with a link to your Sadness cube (in the overview of my cube) :D I think the idea is really cool, but I have been drafting so infrequently that I never spent the time to finish it. There’s also the fact that I would need, like, 40 proxies of each of the...

I have contemplated this many times. The other variant of this you can do is the Basic Blues-approach, where you pick a color and make it effectively colorless. So in my unfinished cube's case, the basic land box contains Tundras, Underground Seas, Volcanic Islands, and Tropical Islands, rather...

So, a long, long time ago, one Jason Waddell wrote an article that touched on this very conundrum, arguing that maybe supporting 10 color pairs is where the problem lies. I've been cubing with five color pairs ever since, which has made the problem of not finding the right lands virtually...
