Maybe cycling to help hit threshold?

It is a bad idea if you do not include answers...

I have a different viewpoint on protection. I do not mind protection from a single color. Especially if it is not like a sword, those suck because they give protection of 2 colors and are repeatable. Each single color has its weakness, black does not get enchantment or artifact destruction (but...

Nowadays they nerfed prevention due to combat math complexity, and wild mongrel is an okay creature (unless you can abuse the drawback). If you include stronger creatures the games become much quicker. The reason why retribution angel was not complete garbage was that strong creatures were...

I loved odyssey block. The tension between threshold and flashback. It turned common sense upside down since a card in the yard was sometimes better than a card in hand. One thing to note that you probably are aware off, the power level of creatures was way way below what it is in innistrad...

Great post japahn! Shamizy aggro is sometimes needed to prevent goodstufshitfest. However, it does not need to be bland 2/1. Even the battlecruiser format is in need for some aggro, but not the turn 1 kind. Back on topic. Let's start by examining limited, who knows maybe we can learn...

@Train How did the finals go in these weird times? You aced them? I hope you moved after the finals...

Or, you could add the common cycling lands to the basic lands box with e.g. an additional rule how many each player can get.

It depends. I find arena really strong, even though it can kill yourself. The suicide by arena happens as often as you die by mana burn, i.e., rarely. Underworld is most of the times an expensive arena. Arguel can draw a lot of cards in one turn and is even more expensive than underworld. 2 mana...

Stampede for me since it gives all your creatures the boost as opposed to the drummer. That said, you have steep requirements. In the old days the aggro madness deck used the blue loot cards since they are cheap mana cost wise. This left mana to use on madness and in turn changed the looting...

Well both red and blue have options to reanimate artifacts, e.g, Goblin welder and Argivian Restoration so I am a bit surprised no one mentioned the big and still biggest daddy for your Erratic explosion tales. Draco What do you know, it is even castable for less than its cmc! Keeping in...

What if you would allow your drafters to add a certain amount of the cycling lands (not bicycle) from the land box? And add the bicycle ones in the draft. Cheap way to increase the amount.

That sounds like a blast! How was it on the receiving end? If you ever need a weaker 3 mana version there is Anurid scavenger. However it has protection from black...

Because you want to be able to cycle cards, play memory jar and play your new hand? Just one non-land card or a cycle-land would be good. If you did not tap the cradle and you would draw the jar you lose a turn.

Where did I say I had only three lands? I said I tap three lands to pay for search and leave one blue and a lot of green in the pool. You are not winning with cradle because there are no such nonsense cards that you win the game if you reach a large amount of mana. Games tend to go quite a few...

I admit that my cube is weird but imagine the following scenario. You play green blue in urza block cube. You have deranged hermit and its four furry friends plus a random critter or 2. The opponent is at 8 and has 4 creatures and phyrexian processor untapped and enough mana to make one...

reclamation sage slots in any deck due to the grey ogre case. nature's claim , however can be a dead card. I like it when a card requires a true choice, do I add the claim to my deck knowing that there are times when it is a dead card? That it is an instant is also nice and the wake example is...

Most cubes have there players start with a deck of 40 cards. So, with your starting hand of 7 including the isle you only need to thin your library by 12. Since it is a blue card it is likely you will draw/loot 4 cards in 6 turns. Not to mention fetchlands which lower the clock by one. It is...

I agree that mana burn most of the times does not come up. However, if you add powerful mana makers like the ones in the infamous urza block then I like that you sometimes get punished. Playing something really powerful like gaea's cradle or Rofellos without a downside?
