    That's pretty limiting

    Certainly alright to try :P

    Test no, think about yes. For me at least, it's almost hard not to. It almost has to affect their decision making, at least a little. Especially for something as broad as "Any T1 accelerant"

    It presented no such problems in my cube, so you're probably alright. It's REALLY expensive to keep shifting these axes around, even in the face of a single removal spell

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine (GU)

    That is indeed what I meant yes. They probably considered it at least a little. While they certainly test less for other formats, I imagine wotc gives at least a passing thought to modern/legacy/etc :P

    I'd like to add that Reggie has been great

    Regisaur Alpha Ghor-Clan Rampager Qasali Pridemage Dromoka's Command Kitchen Finks These all do lean pretty midrange other than rampager, but GW just isn't a color pair with an itentity for me yet, so I'm kinda hedging my bets. I was running knight of the reliquary for the longest time, but...

    I'd like to throw in my two cents and mention this card: Nissa, Steward of elements Lot of missed potential here. 90% of this card is an illusion, as her first two abilities are more of a trap than anything else. The returns on loyalty from UGX are just too narrow and her plus ability is so...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Don't get me wrong, I'm tempted, but I'm suspect of the value of a card that is strictly for answering powerful lands. Like wasteland can stop people from playing their 4 drops (Or some might argue, magic) but if you take away that angle entirely, is the resulting card even worth running? (And...

    8 mana is a metric fuckton, even in slow formats. You need to put some serious pressure on your drafters to make 7 realistic, let alone 8.

    I love the concept, but I hate the activation cost of Tec edge, let alone this

    I really do love Emeria Angel

    I will say if there's one change ever that makes me cut down on planeswalkers it'll be this. There was a surprising ammount of balance that came from all my green planeswalkers accidentally being named nissa, all the red ones being named chandra, etc.

    I think my favorite thing about tidehollow sculler is that at one point in my cube he practically had pro black: Go for the throat doom blade victim of night ultimate price

    I think I might be in a "Why not both?" situation here

    Card/Deck The Rakdos Cult (BR)

    I guess I might play it in the midrange vs control matchup where even a midly recusive threat like him would help. He does earn points for being playable in any RB aggro deck but better in ones with gravecrawler and goblin bombardment

    that first quote about innistrad is by the amazing KillingAGoldfish, some of my favorite writing about limited I've ever read, highly recommend. Sideborading I tend to like less in terms of Deathmark or Disenchant and more in terms of Figure of Destiny or Bygone Bishop. Having to maindeck...

    I've never understood the appeal of coiling oracle. You get half Sakura-Tribe Elder and half Elvish Visionary, and I don't love either of those a ton, and this is orders of magnitude harder to cast!

    Is Alpha low power? He looks nuts
