NONBASIC LAND BOX So here's another dumb thing I threw a lot of spare time at; based on the success it seems to have in cubes that try to 'draft constructed decks', i want to put the fetch-dual manabases that modern and legacy are built around in the land box at a 'free' opportunity cost...

IMPROVING THE COLOUR PIE (WOTC'S DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB BUT I ALSO HAVE SOME IDEAS) GARFIELD GREAT: the color system articulates not only mechanical structure of the card game, but is a deeply evocative and emotionally resonant way to articulate different styles of gameplay and what they 'mean'...

I made these a couple years ago (and re-rendered them just now to Surveil 1 instead of Scry 1). Hope someone can play them now that I'm not.

nope. historically firespout goes in decks that can selectively pay exclusively R, G, or mixed RG to cast it, killing villain's stuff but saving at least one of your own guys

I'm very sympathetic to this but ultimately think: yes, they should, and if it is a break it shouldn't be. The color pie was defined by Garfield 30+ years ago, long before Frank Karsten sat down to math out your pips in deck vs # of mana sources etc. Dr. Garfield is a genius and an incredible...

Tried it, cut it. You need creature type synergies in your UW tempo deck for this to make the grade.

letting green play cantrips

XRG deal X damage spell? well I think you'd still have to really force me to want one that isn't Mawloc or Clan Defiance; if the idea here is that a big X leads to an insurmountable advantage, I think Clan Defiance does that too while offering more bang for your buck at small X. i have loved...

Literally none and they're still busted. I play them in Sharzad alongside city of traitors and ancient tomb.

sundering growth imo. harder to cast if not GW (but not impossible) and the populate is, if real, worth waiting around on your shatter for

I think it's a very good Rune Snag! but my format is on Force of Negation, and so, alas.... for real though I think this is a superb mana leak-lite for decks with creatures in them

love this idea. think it has serious potential

I think I'm interested in: Long Goodbye Pick Your Poison Feather, Radiant Arbiter Aurelia's Vindicator Analyze the Pollen Aftermath Analyst Archdruid's Charm

Full set's out! Here's what I'm interested in, in descending order of how much I like the card: I like Aurelia's Vindicator but I almost wish it were "just" the 4 power lifelink flier with ward? It's nice to have the Angel of Serenity trigger back but I don't know if I love Disguise, on only...

i'm so friggin serious about this. i play this card below. is it nutso? yes. is it a more interesting and satisfying game piece than Leaf Gilder absolutely also yes. the knight of the gardens puts you up while opponent falls behind, which is a microcosm in HP of the same thing happening in terms...

why the fuck are we arguing that dorks should be irrelevant in combat???????? stop it!

It's a fair point! But, of course, I happen to disagree about the dragons. So much of Magic story and lore is about the Good Guys Working Together to Defeat An Ancient Evil. I find Sarkhan restoring the dragonlords really interesting because to me, uh, and I don't know if this was clear in DTK...

I like Pick The Poison. I was already running Run Afoul so to me this is just a straight upgrade.

Congrats to everyone who won. My first eligible year not on the list. Gonna have to up my game.

and I adore an Orcish Lumberjack. There's something very real IMO to the idea of 'untap your karoos, orcish lumberjacks, and tolarian academies'.....
