    It's not about bad graphics or looking used. It's about evoking the feeling of those old times, and they had not stuff like modern paper, but scrolls which looked differently. And they had different letters, looking more medieval and stuff. I'm envisoning myself as a wizard looking through his...

    Card/Deck U/B Ninjutsu

    Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback. Yes, it is that one, very up to date. He has been nice in testing so far. I didn't have high expectations but quickly became a fan of that guy.

    Card/Deck U/B Ninjutsu

    {G/U} is landfall with lots of ramp and card draw, as well as ways to bounce your lands or play more than 1 per turn. {U/R} is spell focused control, counterspells, draw and removal until you can finish the game with a handful of instant/sorcery payoffs. {R/W} is gowide aggro, where you use...

    I think it should because high fantasy usually references medieval or ancient times, and you just didn't have cgi and computer-ish looking designs back then.

    Card/Deck U/B Ninjutsu

    I think Okiba-Gang Shinobi is great. A Mindrot on a 3/2 for 4 can be pretty devastating in my experience. Had anyone cubed with Sakashima's Student? I don't think it's unfair and I'll test it to find out, but still I'm a liiitttlle worried. It's not quite Phantasmal Image, but kinda close...

    Darkblast Necroplasm Golgari Thug I run these three in addition to Stinkweed Imp and Golgari Gravetroll, always pondering around with Loam and the Cloak but my green's pretty tight and stuff like Splinterfright or Winding Way is also great for milling yourself. Still my opinion on dredge is...

    Well, Krosan Cloudscraper never could be an insult as big as that movie :D I'd like getting Godzilla versions of cards actually, I'd cube one or two of they fit my cube AND are worthy of their depicted characters.

    Comparing Godzilla to Krosan Cloudscraper is insulting though. Godzilla is like the incarnation of nature's scorn, things that usually harm living beings tend to just make him stronger. He'd definitely be an unfair card!

    Pff, Godzilla is the King of Monsters. I'd love see him beat up those spaghetti-monsters in a movie. But I have to admit, I don't know much from the eldrazi lore. Anyway, if a handful of power rangers was able to beat emrakul, it can't be that strong. I'd design a godzilla card like this...

    Card/Deck U/B Ninjutsu

    Is Yuriko really a problem in single player games? I mean for 7 damage on turn 2 you'd need to reveal a 6 drop. I'd also be cool with playing Silent-Blade Oni. I don't think Fallen Shinobi is any less busted, I'd say more actually. On a positive note: Higure proved in testing to be great (but...

    As a godzilla fan I have to say, this card doesn't seem worthy of him. If I'd like to cube godzilla I'd probably make a render from Progenitus or an Eldrazi Titan. But lets see and wait.

    Card/Deck U/B Ninjutsu

    Oh yeah, Changeling Outcast is a given, even with the minimal tribal synergy within this archetype. Drawing an extra card every now and then is a nice bonus on top of an already solid attacker (I've run Tormented Soul in the past). I just tested a few rounds with this deck against the deck my...

    I also cut Emeria Angel long ago for being too much wow. She was just always the right pick, delivering soo much value for absolutely zero investement. I never looked back since I cut her. My replacement was Master Splicer I think, that guy already did so much more for synergy.

    Card/Deck U/B Ninjutsu

    I think I finally found a way to change my Dimir archetype into Ninjas. I envision the archetype not as actual tribal but as a tempo deck getting value from the ninjas ninjutsu and saboteur abilities. But first I'd like to check if the riptide gang has (as usual) something useful to say to that...

    Essence of the Wild This looks like a sweet token payoff. I just want to cast that and immediately tap Squirrel Nest. Has anyone ever tried this crazy son of a wizards employee?

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    How much worse is this at ramping compared to llanowar elves? Sakura-Tribe Scout With 3+ lands in you opening hand, you'll have the same 3 mana on turn 2. Just with one less card in hand. But you won't lose that extra mana when the dork dies. And with landfall it has some shenanigans going...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I had him in my ninja pauper deck many years ago. Nobody seemed to know about this card and they always were shocked when I ninjutsu'd with it. If you support that archetype and maybe something like voltron this guy should be great.

    Oh,guys, these last two pages were incredible and you mentioned so many things were I feel similar - beginning with the problems that planeswalkers and absurd Etb guys brought to the game, going on with the no longer existing needs of investing mana in your value, up to the point of keeping the...

    I alteady run Thirst for Knowledge and Wing Splicer as generslly useful cards and I even have before artifacts were a thing. And Animating Faerie is one I'm testing right now, but it is a little more narrow than something like Whirler Rogue. I'm intrigued by Emry as a selfmill crossover, bit I...

    The little word untapped makes them so much worse though. I am looking for something too. I want another blue artifact payoff like these: Whirler Rogue Thopter Spy Network Mirrodin Besieged All of these have the huge advantage of working with little support. The rogue is a great 4 drop in...
