Gaea's Blessing was the first one I found when paging through my boxes for initial ideas :P That said you're entirely right and I'll make the swap - cards in hand do clog more than I expected. I know I have exactly one copy of Dwell in the Past but have no idea where my box of Guay singles is...

I was not expecting to get enthusiastic about this set but I am legitimately considering getting a box to draft with my SO and some of their MtG playing friends. Just like OG Eldraine, has the mechanical complexity at a level where it's interesting without being punishing and is hitting it out...

It's fun as a mental puzzle as-is, but could be more exciting and replayable, so going to see if increasing variance is an improvement or not :D As it is, it's really easy to get perfect information, which has made us try to play around every card the opponent has and set the goal to sculpting...

I think a better/more concise wording would be: "At the beginning of combat on your turn, for each black mana symbol in spells you've cast this turn, choose one that hasn't been chosen this turn: • Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. • Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn. •...

I really like this suggestion. Its not that gold cards are against the design rules, more that every time I include gold cards in anything I feel compelled to make my inclusions symmetrical :P Based on how the current list has played so far I'm planning on removing all creatures except the...

I really like the concept for Library Things! I was reading your rules ideas for it and was thinking that if you wanted to go full boardgame, you could go really simple and just track either player life or "damage to other players" as the score, game ends when shared deck runs out - winner is...

Normally I go for the RTR shocks for how vibrant they are (Plus they're the set I have in foil), but for Watery Grave I think Raymond Swanland comes in 3rd. Usually for Swanland I'd expect that to be from being overexposed to his art and how samey his works can get (I like a fair few of his...

I think I love this. I really love drafting, but it eats so much time. This moves many of the elements I love in that kind of interaction into the game itself. So many cool things to do with the ruleset too! Kitesail Freebooter is sick as hell here! I think I'm going to make a list for this game.

Did a little testing and had a chat with my partner about the list, and they've really helped sort out the concept in my head and put away some of my excessively fiddly concerns. Takeaway was, more creatures are okay as blockers due to the Wumpus' Trample, that lets me run ways of interacting...

Hunt the Wumpus Cube Size: 21 Players: 2 Concept: Hunt the Wumpus is a two-player Magic minigame you just shuffle up and play. The goal is to find, resolve, and then swing with the single copy of Shivan Wumpus to instantly win the game. Rules: Other than the following, it's a normal...

EZ OG for me too, same reasons as Zee. I think rank order is same as print order TBH. That said, I do like that when the Secret Lair prints go for something unique even if I'm not a fan of the result - it's absolutely the place for it.

Premise: The rest of Magic exists as an extensive on-ramp to casual custom formats as far from Wizards ecosystems as possible. Kitchen Table - > Casual custom formats -> Standard/Limited/FNM-tier -> Higher level competition -> Casual custom format. You will note that more than half the graph...

I missed the pun the first time I read this comment. Also, updated OP with a cliffnotes "Fun mechanics" and "neat cards" for shared deck/graveyard formats. Obvious WIP is obvious WIP, formatting may change, and of course feedback and thoughts are very welcome.

I liked everyone selling their modern staples so I could pick them up affordably for my cube. Best part of MH2's aftermath as far as I'm concerned. I had already gotten out of modern before Horizons due to three consecutive bans killing the fringe deck I was playing at the time - every time by...

I mean you basically covered my sentiments :p For me its solidly Jens. It's the only one that features a simulacrum as opposed to "Sci-fantasy humaniform golem" that's solemn and not just "Downward tilted power pose". That said I like most of them though, saving for the Inventions one (as...

Straight up won't be voting for art I love if it's only available in a frame or border I dislike, crop or no. That said, 100% agree with Nemo, you're going to all this effort to make something fun for us to consider and discuss and I'm very happy to take this as it's given <3 Oh, and BRC...

@LadyMapi Volrath's Dungeon is a great call, totally forgot that card existed and it's pretty damn cool. On the surface it looks like it's just dead if you only activate it once, but the mindgames around the threat of multiple activations in one turn are really sweet. For people who want to play...

The only sensible option. Brand new colour category that has to be balanced against itself by including a creature/adventure pair for each of the 20 possible arrangements of colour. Easy. TBH, probably just treat them like I do split cards if I end up using any.

So not that long ago Rhystic Studies video on Dandân/Forgetful Fish spiked the popularity of shared deck formats in a number of Magic spaces. There was a little mini-renaissance in creating microformats, with people posting little decklists with associated alternate rulesets which I found...
