Technically Blood Researcher supports BG Vampires!

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's card disadvantage either. I think what Erik means is that Arkbow doesn't impact the board at all when played. I tried it, and it wasn't half bad in my cube, but always slightly underwhelming. It's never a card you are overly happy to put into your deck. I mean, compare...

Be sure to @ MaRo on Blogatog or Twitter or something, because you're not wrong. It's literally trivial to frame this card in a better way. I'm not even zooming in here or using the full artwork available. It just the art from this article fit to frame.

At my local prerelease, one player won 4 set boosters, and sold them to another player for €10 because player they only ever draft and don't have use for singles. They didn't want to play the gamble and then go through the trouble of selling the cards. In those four boosters were, among others...

No. There's a reason Boseiju, Who Endures is the most expensive card in the set right now, and it's way more expensive than a rare from a new set ought to be. It's a ridiculous design, and so is the whole cycle, honestly. Grade A Spike material :)

I'm not sure I agree with this sentiment. I think it adapts to different power levels quite well. Typically a high power list runs at a (much) lower average mana value, which means they get to take much more advantage of this card than someone running it in a lower power cube. It's also four...

Wholeheartedly subscribe to sigh's evaluation. Card is top notch!

No no, focus on the GW Highlander deck instead! :p I don't think I can recall the entire decklist, but it a couple of good tutors (e.g. Eladamri's Call, Sterling Grove, excellent hate (e.g. Llanowar Knight, Mystic Crusader, Mystic Enforcer, Phantom Centaur, Sabertooth Nishoba, the Circles...

Squirrel/Opposition (with Static Orb) was my first serious Standard deck. That Standard was really fun as well. Lot of room for brewing as well. I nearly won a tournament with a G/W Highlander deck, unfortunately losing to UG Madness in the finals.

Heh, me too. I played MMQ/INV (Invasion was my first set), INV/ODY, MIR/CHK (I returned to MtG during 5DN after a hiatus of a bit over a year), CHK/RAV, RAV/TSP (which was also brilliant), TSP/LRW, LRW/ALA, and ALA/ZEN. Around 2010 I started playing less and less, and by the time my son was born...

My favorite was Kamigawa -> Ravnica. So many viable decks, and whacky decks too! I mean, just look at the results of Pro Tour Honolulu in 2006. The top 8 had great variety (with all colors represented in multiple different decks), but there's even more variety in the t16. Worlds 2005 had other...

No, that's why I had to cut it XD But it's definitely a card that's up for consideration if you want to support this theme at a higher power level! Elite Scaleguard wasn't far behind in the number of games the card ended, by the way. It doesn't look like much, but it puts incredible pressure on...

I ran a +1/+1 counter theme in my lower power cube when GW was still supported, and I had to nerf it twice because it was busted. It's just like @LadyMapi says, putting +1/+1 counters on stuff is almost always good. The key pieces in my cube were Abzan Falconer Elite Scaleguard Rishkar, Peema...

It's also {2}{W}{U} instead of {4}. That does make a huge difference of course. I will say this looks really good though. It's card advantage, card filtering, and token creation, all for a very affordable price.

Devoted Druid stops being a creature (as long as it isn't crewed), but keeps the activated ability. There's nothing preventing you from putting a -1/-1 counter on it now that it's a noncreature permanent, but it doesn't die from negative toughness anymore, since it has no power and toughness (as...

It's surely the most powerful Pacifism variant ever printed.

How is that a hot take?

It's a tie then :D

That... Is extremely funny and stupid XD

All we need is time. Mer-Ek Nightblade (granted, it will never become a 1/5 :))
