    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    nope. historically firespout goes in decks that can selectively pay exclusively R, G, or mixed RG to cast it, killing villain's stuff but saving at least one of your own guys

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I'm very sympathetic to this but ultimately think: yes, they should, and if it is a break it shouldn't be. The color pie was defined by Garfield 30+ years ago, long before Frank Karsten sat down to math out your pips in deck vs # of mana sources etc. Dr. Garfield is a genius and an incredible...

    Tried it, cut it. You need creature type synergies in your UW tempo deck for this to make the grade.

    XRG deal X damage spell? well I think you'd still have to really force me to want one that isn't Mawloc or Clan Defiance; if the idea here is that a big X leads to an insurmountable advantage, I think Clan Defiance does that too while offering more bang for your buck at small X. i have loved...

    Literally none and they're still busted. I play them in Sharzad alongside city of traitors and ancient tomb.

    sundering growth imo. harder to cast if not GW (but not impossible) and the populate is, if real, worth waiting around on your shatter for

    I think it's a very good Rune Snag! but my format is on Force of Negation, and so, alas.... for real though I think this is a superb mana leak-lite for decks with creatures in them

    Sets (MKM) Murders at Karlov Manor Previews

    Full set's out! Here's what I'm interested in, in descending order of how much I like the card: I like Aurelia's Vindicator but I almost wish it were "just" the 4 power lifelink flier with ward? It's nice to have the Angel of Serenity trigger back but I don't know if I love Disguise, on only...

    i'm so friggin serious about this. i play this card below. is it nutso? yes. is it a more interesting and satisfying game piece than Leaf Gilder absolutely also yes. the knight of the gardens puts you up while opponent falls behind, which is a microcosm in HP of the same thing happening in terms...

    Sharzad v4 - The Passion of Tarkir

    It's a fair point! But, of course, I happen to disagree about the dragons. So much of Magic story and lore is about the Good Guys Working Together to Defeat An Ancient Evil. I find Sarkhan restoring the dragonlords really interesting because to me, uh, and I don't know if this was clear in DTK...

    I like Pick The Poison. I was already running Run Afoul so to me this is just a straight upgrade.

    General Land Storm

    and I adore an Orcish Lumberjack. There's something very real IMO to the idea of 'untap your karoos, orcish lumberjacks, and tolarian academies'.....

    General Land Storm

    storm needs big mana! there are some delightful ways to blend 'big mana' and 'your manabase'. long long time ago grilloparlante innovated on ravnica karoos + untap effects to not only reach parity on mana in:mana out but actually generate even more mana, also. in my own cube i do some of this...

    General New Format: Timeless

    I've really been adoring this. I think it's pretty different from Historic; at this point, Historic has a curated banlist and gameplay patterns that couldn't survive some of these Timeless-legal cards. I'm so happy to be able to play an Arena format with brainstorm and ragavan and treasure...

    it's also a much better game piece than secure the wastes etc. Awaken the Woods at small X ramps you into your bigger X spell, and if you don't have a bigger X spell, it's a really solid fireball also
