    Unprofessional card designer (tm) here: you've got to remember that magic cards are experienced in (mostly) this order as game pieces: Name > (Rules > P/T > Mana Cost) > Art > Frame Everything in brackets is probably person dependent, but they definitely come before art/frame. Typeline isn't...

    Storybook frame 100% if you can expect your playgroup to know how adventure works. If not? I think I'd photoshop up a storybook frame with reminder text. (Or CardConjurer)

    Interesting. They'd still be distinguishable as game objects because they'd be in different sleeves. I don't think there's an exact match to what hunt does since Master's Rebuke is an instant and Devouring Tendrils gains life, but I see what you're getting at. I don't love that I'd mostly be...

    BTW I wasn't joking here, I am actually adding green prowess cards. Link to the full explanation why, but I thought I'd void dump the actual cards here:

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    So I wasn't actually joking about that whole green prowess thing.... Preface So my cube (up until this latest patch) ran the following archetypes: :b::u::g: Graveyard :w::u::b: Artifacts :g::w::r: Tokens :u::w::r: Prowess :b::r::g: Aristocrats The goal is, for a given three color archetype...

    I play Augur, but less as a sac card and more of a mind rot you can raise dead Nezumi Bone reader seems interesting. Is the idea here that occasionally you'd target yourself to get Gaak in the yard?

    I've certainly had challanges finding something I've had to lean on customs for the most part, but Domri, Anarch of Bolas is a go wide payoff (as aristocrat decks can be wont to do) and can conditionally act as the world's most akward single sac outlet :p
