I really like this new guy and meant to post about it. It's a fair six-drop that feels good to Natural Order into, modern Limited formats have taught us the power of a 6/6 trample for 6, and even though it says "other creatures you control" it's still, like, support for a Fires archetype on...

lmao if you aren't just writing R programs to run a hundred thousand trials of anything that bothers you

it's just an incidental reward where you don't really have to build around it but it keeps you constantly developing threats. Wizard, Warlock, Elf, doesn't matter, they kill a guy you develop a new guy and equip it same turn

it's good, it's an equipment that draws like 3 cards a game and has relevant stats and a cheap equip cost. love that thing, love how it quietly supports tribal shit anyone wants to do (someone onced used it in an Eldrazi deck which was a real delight)

allegedly the pony sleeves are coming to magic arena. hoo boy.

let's talk a mid-to-higher-powered Stoneforge package: Stoneforge Mystic Batterskull Embercleave Basilisk Collar Vulshok Morningstar Grafted Wargear Bonesplitter Conqueror's Flail Ancestral Blade Sunforger Deathrender Some of those are quite iffy. Anyone have suggestions?

It's early days but basically every card with an Adventure has been playing REALLY well for me on arena. Even the ones I thought might be marginal like Merchant of the Vale

To me it's an easy Bishop and Recruiter; Recruiter's body is more often a positive (blink/'llark-lesha effects/small reanimate) than it is a negative (doesn't meaningfully interact in most combats). Echoing what everyone else has said about Bishop - that thing really is gas

I like to play at around Ascension 10! It's a fun little game. There are definitely more and less viable strategies/deck archetypes, but my biggest hints to players would be: -small deck good. always remove a card at the merchant as your highest priority action unless you have like 300 gold and...

of the two, Marshal, but what about: Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon" which comes down as a finisher, has cute interactions with Alesha/'Llark, and is actually castable

These two are very interesting to me. There's a new white three drop knight with a lot of cool theme intersection stuff but these are broadly playable without themes I think. Bonus points if you curve that MH1 double 2/2 changelings for 2ww into the giant wrath

When I was working overseas, I played a lot of MTGO legacy, since there was absolutely zero local scene. MTGO's probably the future of the format, in that it isn't limited by the reserved list, and duals / staples are way more affordable. If you don't mind playing the most thrilling form of...

Try picking up Dom's mono blue antiquities war list (forces, chalices, Sol lands, Karnstructs). It's really good to be able to play forces AND chalices in one deck, that's unprecedented almost, and you get to play interactive stack based magic, which is the best part of legacy. The Sol lands...

We stan a candyrolling king

This season feels great for my cube. Super happy with the dragons so far.

Your point about the early damage is crucial I think. But let's think about what blue has access to that other colours don't when it comes to aggro. Sure, it's not much, but if it's not overly pushed, unblockability is an interesting gameplay puzzle. Another way to look into making blocking a...

How are you liking the Legacy format? I think W6 did some cool stuff for it post deathrite ban; we have the 4c greed piles again, but there's no mono-black mana elf fucking up turbo xerox strats. Is playing these Lands type lists where you want to settle in the format?

This one's pretty interesting with Stoneforge...

I've cast a lot of Pyrokinesis, in Cube and not, and it's quite a strong card at a real cost. Combined with combat it's a real killing machine, and it even feels good to hit 6 mana and hardcast it. But it can't go face and it feels really cool to play, so if your players are accustomed to Force...

to be totally boring and normal i think the effect should cost 5-5.5 mana, and the thing that intrigues me about Dream Leash is that it has an any-permanent clause and is therefore splash damage against walker proliferation. i would rather cube Leash and would rather draft Mind...
