I can confirm Deathreap Ritual is real, but it's no Dark Prophecy or Liliana, Dreadhorde General. I'd still run Midnight Reaper before every other card mentioned though - goes in the most decks out of all of them. I have two conundrums (Conundra?) to place before you: Conspiracy Theorist...

I'm just happy I got out of all constructed formats with SL:TWD, and now only acquire cards from other people and the two FLGS I like. We had the worst Standard since like, Urza's block, with nothing but "No this is fine its how we do things now" philosophy of fire nonsense (I wish they'd don't...

This is a sweet idea - I've toyed around with Esper Sagas for a peasant Duplicate Sealed I'm putting together with cards like Thrull Parasite and Clockspinning, and that pile also has a bunch of the channel enchantments from NEO, but I'd never even -thought- about Replenish. This is so...

Aww man I love this! Do you perhaps have some sort of newsletter I can subscribe to? I tried to make this happen in the first iteration of my cube with Melek and Rashmi and it just did not come together. Kept all the support cards because they're needed for the CMC-Burn and Miracles stuff, and...

So, as we learned today with Mishra, you can have almost 150 words on an official magic card. 90 seems perfectly acceptable :P

I got briefly very excited when I discovered Farmstead about a week ago. I wanted something cool for a white module to add to my Ana cube. I thought I knew all of the triple-pipped spells in Magic, and alas, White gets shafted with boring stuff like Master Apothecary, Benalish Marshal and...

Inspired by the Bounce > Flicker thread, I'm interested in hearing about the innovations people have made with their own cubes. Not so much to get feedback on ideas, just to share cool stuff we like. What archetypes do you support that no one else does? Which familiar archetypes do you run with...

Oh man I played Esperzoa and Glaze Fiend in Affinity when I couldn't afford Ravagers... Legacy Affinity I did not win games. It does seem like a really cool signpost card for this as a theme in draft though, as well as being an absolute beast in combat. Could do an Esper Glinthawk deck or...

It's interesting you mention those, as they were a hail-mary attempt to support a pet card of mine (Zombie Trailblazer.dec used to tear up my friends kitchen tables) and have actually gotten some play. We've only gotten two RL drafts in with the list at the moment, neither of which were after...

I choose to interpret it as being still all old and shitty after he dug it up in the Fallaji desert - given the Unearth, I'm assuming it's that specific dragon engine. Or maybe OG Phyrexia was overhyped and could have been taken out by like, a rampaging Craw Wurm. Either/or. I am looking forward...

Why, so you can open blind bags at $999 a pop hoping for that piece of paper with the picture you want! If you buy dirty filthy proxies you actually just get the thing you wanted to buy, with none of the extra bonus pieces of paper with pictures that you didn't want. On a serious note, missed...

I mean, I ran Hanweir Garrison without the Battlements, I'll happily run the Engine without Mishra. And then I'll probably run Mishra anyway cause a bad Hellrider is still a good enough card in my mid-power cube and I'm a sucker for legendary creatures featuring characters I like. Then I'll...

I mean, all the cards that existed then exist now. Sure they've been outclassed by modern design philosophy, but this is a curated format. What once was can be again, but with the benefit of hindsight and a much larger card pool. No, I don't think this approach will ever be good in even a...

I'd start having flashbacks and need to be wheeled out on a stretcher Edit: In regards to the above scenario, you spent two mana, upgraded a threat, protected a threat and 'drew' an answer to protect the threat you just deployed, all at instant speed. You're ahead on board -and- in CA, and...

100% agree with everything said here. I've cast a lot of Familiar's Ruse's and Withdraws. And Baral's Expertise should be an instant. I've made this an archetype in a duplicate sealed pool and in my Ana grid cube, and these effects -also- love it when you support a Ux tempo deck. You know...

I don't think they'll top the Eldraine showcase frame for a very, very long time. I cant think of another frame treatment they've done that was so evocative, legible, and consistently appealing across cards.

Thanks for the feedback! As much as I like creatures, I do like the old-school 'underdog' feel of fast tempo or aggro decks, where it feels like you're throwing away card quality and advantage to sneak in a win off whatever tempo you can make and hold. I'm very lucky that my partner only likes...

Bonfire of the Damned I remember literally every loss I had to this, and not one of them left the victor feeling proud of themselves. Once I had a guy dead on board, held back two threats just in case of Bonfire. He miracles it, tapping out to wipe the board and take me to 10. I redeploy...

Thank-you everyone for your input on my dumb-ass idea. I absolutely love the art you found for it as well Onderzeeboot. I think I have to get it printed and play it now, it's gone too far for any other result :P The original idea was Which is snappier but was just a big dumb idiot that died...

Oh man depends on so many things but it's probably some janky build-around enchantment that I played at FNM. Astral Slide, Harness the Storm, something like that. Best stories definitely came from ramping into this bad boy in 2013 standard Possibility Storm Bullying UW/Esper Control before...
