    All right I'm looking for BR cards that are good in either Reanimator or artifacts other than Daretti. Any suggestions? :)

    I just realized I misread Tectonic Titan as firing only when the opponent targeted it. No wonder I thought it was complete jank!

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    So far I haven't seen any cards that caught my eye. It does seem the overall power level is low. In fact, there are a lot of janky-looking cards in this set. Pehaps it's just that I'm seeing the spoiler but I'm surprised at how...questionable some of the designs are. But I'm sure those "janky...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    So I've been a bit at a loss with my cube because it seems very close to being "finished" and don't know what to do! The days in which I wrote several times a day and made sweeping changes are over. I'm just happy I can build decks like this: (The two missing cards are Murderous Rider and...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I think I'm finally reaching the final stages of the cube's design. I've set myself a "deadline". I'll print and finish the cube by the time Theros is out and I can decide whether to add some of its cards or not. Some changes: Mizzium Tank -> Saheeli, Sublime Artificer Saheeli is the second...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Let's be more specific, because it's a topic worth discussing. There is indeed a point in which players have "too much fixing" and the colours become irrelevant. However, I've never seen an actual cube where that was the actual problem. Most of the time, the cause is not lands but: 1) Poor...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    When I first built my cube with 2 sets of fetches, 2 sets of duals and 5 canopy lands, I also thought fixing would be "too good". Slighty greedy 3-colour decks were the norm in draft testing and I had just added more fixing. Would my cube end up with greedy multicolour piles? As it turns out...

    I like Corpse Dance a lot but it only works with either very strong monsters or cards that have an ETB effect. Which are the cards I avoid in an attempt to make for a "fair" Reanimator package.

    Is there a functional difference or reason to have both? I'm just baffled to have both "gold" and "treasures" if they are both identical gameplay-wise, specially when Ixalan was just two sets ago!

    What is the difference between gold and treasures?

    Keep in ming it's a 5/5 Wall. It's my bane as an aggro player in Historic.

    Ah, what I mean is that there's no decision-making with it. It's just good on all fronts. It doesn't require you to think or plan because it has haste, deathtouch, cannot be chump-blocked, kills planeswalkers and stops the random deck of its heyday (Fog.dec) for free. It doesn't make the game...

    It's very dumb of them to print these kind of cards, but it's unlikely to be as broken as it seems at first glance. You need 8 cards in your graveyard for it to be better then Regrowth, 12 or 16 before it gets into "I win" territory. The problem I see is that you can play the same cards over...

    Kuronos reminds me of Questing Beast: All power and no play. Storm's fury looks strong. I'm not into the market for a 4 mana red wrath, but it is a four mana red wrath.

    It's mostly going to be cheated into play, so that's a bit why I'm asking. I want Reanimator to be more value/control focused but Massacre Wurm was too strong and I can't jam 10 Crater Hellions in my cube. Even though I would love to, because Crater Hellion is awesome.

    I just don't think a cube needs more than two Smokestack effects and I don't see much of a reason to play a weaker gold card over the namesake card and Braids. What can you tell me about this card? How swingy/baneslayery is it? Angel of Serenity

    Sure, but it's not necessary for cards to be thinly veiled copies of previous work for them to play well. I mean, it's not tropes that bother me. What Throne of Eldraine and Theros do is reference well-known stories or characters. You have knock-off Robbin Hood, knock-off Arthur and knock-off...
