    General Narrow Card Injection

    Esper Charm and it's not even close. It's a good end-of-turn draw spell, one of a few instant-speed discards worth playing, and i think esper can use a bonus Erase more than Feed the Clan. I'll splash for Esper Charm and I don't think I would for Dromar's, at any rate. Dromar's has better...

    General Narrow Card Injection

    Crackling Doom is a card that excites me a lot and I get why maybe that's not universal but like aren't we all concerned about Planeswalker value? like, it reliably zaps their worst threat (getting around problem mechanics like hexproof or Frost Titan tax at the same time) and the shock often...

    Card/Deck How to execute a minimalist Enchantment theme

    General Minor Graveyard Support

    I ran Impulse until like a week ago when I cut it for Dig through Time (when did I cut dig? why did I hate on a super fun card?). It's a super valid play in 40-card decks, although I did fire it off turn two sometimes (usually to find Jeskai Ascendancy on curve). also it rewards consistent...

    General Minor Graveyard Support

    Stuff I'd entomb for: Life from the Loam / Darkblast utility lands, if I have Loam Bloodsoaked Champion / Skaab Ruinator removal if I have a regrowth effect Firebolt Riftstone Portal (ULD) I really like the idea of Vengeful Pharoah as a black five in a graveyard environment.

    General [Design Discussion] Perfect Imbalance

    it's so stark when you look at the guild slots: Golgari has Putrefy, Deed, Spiritmonger and Grave-Shell Scarab; Azorius gets Teferi's Moat and Galina's Knight. Then I noticed Top and Clamp and had to stop

    safra v Aoret: Non-white 4C Grid Draft

    I think I took too long during the draft to settle into an archetype, hoping to decide between some kind of grixis aggro-control and BG sacrifice build based on what came up late, but actually I just wound up scrambling for playables. I had two sideboard Delvers I couldn't use because I didn't...

    General Re-examining The Basic Land Box

    Cube is about curving out and techy plays, right? Even cubes that don't come out of the gates running still reward deliberate mana development and efficient use thereof. Thoughtseize standard (the worst one anyway) was ruined by the lack of t2 plays better than thoughtseize your answer>pack rat...

    General I just play it for the flavour text, I swear!

    We've got a terrible flavour text thread but I don't think there's one for cards with genuinely good writing in italics. The obvious contender is the Love Song of Night and Day, which contrasted with current f.t. looks like, well, night and day. And once upon a time Magic used more literary...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    I'm on to second-level tinkering with my Cube with Aoret's fetch&waste experiment. The exciting thing is that it'll allow me to free up 24 slots in my Cube! Ten of them are going to be the WWK/BFZ/OGW manlands, and I'm moving Shelldock, Cradle, Phyrexian Tower, and Karakas into the main list...
