    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Thalakos Seer The double blue is a bit rough but this seems good in Ninjas since it's usually not getting blocked and draws a card when it leaves play.

    That's kind of why I put it in air quotes. A 1/2 for 1 is better than the baseline for what you'd expect for 1 mana, and it's certainly better than a 1/1 body, if only by a little bit.

    The more I think about this, the more I've come up with the idea of "Powermax on Spells, Low Power Creatures." Like Erik pointed out, a lot of the powerful spells we still play today were printed during the "early magic" period. We didn't start seeing a lot of good creatures (that weren't...

    Well, I have toyed with the idea of building a cube using mostly older cards before. The issue is that I've only been playing magic for the last 7 or so years so I don't really have many cards printed before 2012. I'm not as familiar with the card pool outside of the modern-legal sets, so...

    I would recommend looking at 2 things: -The Sets for which you are Nostalgic. -Cubes from the Mid to Late 2000's. Basically, figure out what cards you liked from the RAV era, and figure out what made you love them and why. Then, start building a cube with them. Here are some cubes from cards...

    Thank You! Gavin Verhey made an Instagram Post talking about some stuff that will be in Ikoria Commander. Apparently, there will be creatures with the following types: -Trilobite -Goat Hydra -Badger Dinosaur So apparently WOTC is combining their Reptiles and Mammals now type-wise. Hopefully...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've almost cut this guy like 3 times since I've added him, but I haven't yet. He's a fine mana sink and a decent beater who wears Bonesplitters pretty well. I'd say he's fine if you're trying to up your density of 1-drop red creatures, but he's only getting played as an aggro card. The counters...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    A cautious yes to Eldrazi Skyspawner and no to Kozilek's Predator. Eldrazi Skyspawner is pretty good as an evasive attacker that makes creatures. Although I think it may be a little below the power level of the rest of your cards, I'd surmise that it will do fine if people are playing Nest...

    I think the Whiptongue Frog from the first set is just a translation error.

    I've been toying with the idea of designing (key word: designing) a cube using primarily cards and mechanics printed before the year 2007. No planeswalkers, no hyper-efficient creatures, just good old fashioned over-costed 3/3s and over-powered spells. And Molten Hydra. And Masticore. Arguably...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Could you be a little more specific about what you mean by "cards that care about creatures?" All of these care about creatures... Winding Way Pelt Collector Lovestruck Beast Gaea's Anthem Vivien's Arkbow ...but they all do it in very different ways.

    Even if I told you my source, I don't know my source's source so where this information originated from is not known to me. For all I know, these cards all could have come from the Narset Facebook group and just shared by someone who cares about cube cards as opposed to splashy mythics :p Thank...

    I'm not sure why multiple spoiler windows are showing up for each set of cards. My edit window shows only one [spoiler ][/spoiler ] per sub category. Mod, could you fix please?
