    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Mind Extraction Never seen this before. It isn't playable outside some kind of lorwyn style environment imo, but here's a thought, based on the marriage of this and Persecute: 2BB sorcery additional cost sacrifice any number of non-token permanents target opponent reveals their hand and...

    A good point! But Enrage and wildfire stuff just never caught on for my playgroup. Alas! e: I've played Deafening Clarion a bit in standard midrange decks - you know how cube midrange decks don't mind running a wrath? This one's really good for them, while being pretty good to control also.

    I like Fiery Justice in Naya because you're probably a creature deck, which means you're running a couple pieces of interaction but not that many of em. Fiery Justice mops up one big threat, or a couple small guys, and if you sequence it with combat, it can be really filthy. It's nice to have a...

    I'm playing the flip Bolas because I have a Dragons theme. If I weren't, I'd be running either Kess or Cruel.

    is it bad that my favourite mardu spell is Crackling Doom?

    Can we make it so the mana doesn't empty until EOT, so you can fire this off on your upkeep? Right now I think you have to work a little too hard to use this, when it should instead be a support card imo

    Those cards are so dull...why not let people play high-emotion cards they're excited to draft, like BBE, or supporting some kind of steal-sac shenanigans with Sarkhan Vol

    General [GRN] Guilds of Ravnica

    Hexproof is kind of interesting because it forces control decks to be able to play some kind of creature combat game. and yet usually it's annoying... these new guys! man oh man. didn't we end up solving DOM with Cold-Water Snapper + Arcane Flight? I like the trend of having a hexproof fattie...

    -Take a turn off (ideally, like, t5 with a mana rock). -Cast a kill spell. -Cast Ponder, draw two cards. -Cast Lightning Bolt for 9 points to the dome. -If you still really need to, cast Shock for another 8 points to the dome.

    I wouldn't stoop so low as Flood of Recollection IMO. I don't think I would want to take an early turn off to cast this in your format. For 'second snapcaster', I'd like to see Torrential Gearhulk, Mission Briefing, or even Dire Fleet Daredevil.

    I'm trying to make an effort to collect my MtG writing on tumblr: http://mtgsharzad.tumblr.com There's a lot of stuff that isn't there, unfortunately, but as I see good posts I spent time on I'm gonna be archiving them there.

    General Thoughts on Pushing Shard Cards into your 2

    3c cards I'd play in power cube: Leovold, Emissary of Trest Kess, Dissident Mage Nicol Bolas, the Ravager Cruel Ultimatum Karador, Ghost Chieftain Broodmate Dragon Tamiyo, Field Researcher Three grixis ones, and not all the guilds, either. It's a high bar

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I found it anemic but was running very little in the way of token gen. With re-adding Bitterblossom on my mind, Scourge might find its way back in... e: and let's not forget the synergy with both +1's on Sarkhan, Fireblood!

    Cathartic Voice isn't really that hard to cast, because there's the base-level smoothing effect where you might have too many (or too few) lands in hand. It's easy to pitch your 1 graveyard card and a spare mountain
