it feels, to me, like its objective power level outweighs any potential synergy or timing concerns the card might have. I like withdraw and other bounce cards but more than anything else the lack of subtlety on some of your designs irks me. It's certainly nto as bad, vis-a-vis comprehension, as...

loving these matchup videos! reminds me of the time a dude won a legacy tournament with standard caw-blade anyway where do you all sit on combo nonkills? is it a reasonable source of reach for diverse decks (this recent ww anafenza / kitchen finks discussion has me really excited tbh since i...

are really versatile sideboard cards truly uncubable? i'd way rather include rakdos charm than shatter (i would nearly never include shatter), since i have good mana available and value versatility. Probably gonna cut RC for Kolaghan's, becauise chose two is so much more satisfying than choose...

i don't like a lot of your designs but that one seems kinda neat. I'd worry about target permanent vs. nonland permanent but it's yr cube! it doesn't feel as well-designed as Recoil but jesus what is nevertheless it feels kinda blasé for a gold card, do you really need that selective of a...

At Instant speed, no less. Gonna be including that baby asap.

Yeah, Bitter Feud getting near my Cube would be a tragedy, good call The earlier discussion a page ago (look, /r/mtgcube is pointing people this way!) says pretty well that there is dialogue going on, and that people are able to find this site. Aiming at CML's goal of "more people [who are]...

speaking personally, CML is the only Magic writer whose written voice I don't actively dislike, and is also the one who writes the most like i and my friends write. He isn't caught up in Ostracizers Are Evil and other GSFs like most of the 'professional' magic community, has genuinely good ideas...

No love for the FNM promo evolving wilds? it's even prettier in person (also i am a filthy magpie)

far, far too good. Power Nine too good.

I'm totally stoked about trying to use that more than once a turn, which I think means it's probably a better design. e: t4 that card into t5 cruel ultimatum is a bit dreamlandy but very exciting as an archetype enabler imo

What if instead of a really good but incredibly narrow mana rock, you found ways in grixis colours to cheat those big spells into play? Engines that cost five or six still call in the need to ramp, and lategame you can hardcast your eight-drops. Having both options is pretty cool for...

Diversity of effects in the dedicated golem deck outweighs doubling up on one over the other, I think. If you want to double I'd go with Blade at higher power levels and Master at lower ones for more interesting synergy. Sensor Splicer might be playable at 4 mana. Lodestone Golem looks like it'd...

Wait, nobody's mentioned this yet: Mirror Entity

the strongest card in Standard is a reanimation spell

spitballing: most anthem effects are cool. Steel Overseer is fun if you have enough artifact dudes, and is fine on his own in slower decks. Splicers have been great in Cataclysm decks for me, too. That they're not artifact cards or spells kinda hurts some of the -matters stuff, but there are a...

is lab maniac in play? now there's a fun subgame.

I've liked doubling up on IOK so far - really pushes home 'CMC 3 matters', along with tec edge and decay. Most of my X spells get hit by it too, which is nice. I feel like two discard spells isn't quite enough, but I'm not sure if the solution is 1-mana Addle or re-adding Hymn. I'll see which...

Land's Edge I'm still testing. Maybe it should be Seismic Assualt but RRR is awful and I think the 'each player' drawback adds some tension. (it doesn't hit creatures so you don't have to worry that all your dudes get killed by free shocks.) Hoping to make Loam less poisonous with the...

never, never, maybe, maybe no depends on if you have fast mana design mistake yes maybe the perfectly balanced card from the boon cycle, slightly too strong for my list but fun enough that i want to fix that what, are you supporting storm? is this playable in a madness/flashback heavy red...

Modern i think?? deathrite got banned, nacatl got banned / unbanned
