Out of curiosity, I went through all of the Zendikar MDFCs, ignoring the mythics, and I'd be happy enough to draft these as "spells that you can play as a tapland that taps for their color": Kabira Takedown Sejiri Shelter Glasspool Mimic Bala Ged Recovery Kazandu Mammoth Tangled Florahedron...

Archfiend's Vessel Cling to Dust Ichor Drinker Slitherhead

It's also an enchantment, so... Michiko's Reign of Truth

It would be Menace's time to shine!

You see Kodama's Reach.

But you can do so much with Archangel's Light! You can free-cast it off of Jeleva and then counter it with Mana Drain so that you can afford to play an Eldrazi titan on your second main phase! Can Last Caress do that?!?

Hey, Last Caress has a ton of potential! How else will villain know that you've won if you don't kill them with a garbage spell?

I thought it was Ornithopter?

Oh crap, I shitposted but actually ended up contributing to the conversation as a whole! My BTP membership card is being revoked as we speak.

I'm actually pretty sure that a reject mythic draft would be kinda awful. At least reject rare drafts have a variety of removal...

Obviously the best combat-interrupting White one-drops are Cenn's Tactician Deftblade Elite Spurnmage Advocate :p

That's why I question my card eval skills. :p I think part of the issue is that the "artifact theme" is such a vague concept — it's like going "my cube is themed around instants!" or whatever. In my opinion, the best way to tackle this kind of thing is to throw away the label and focus on...

Why would you do that? Omega Myr's "last to charge, last to fall" ability is so much more powerful than some mediocre planeswalker. More seriously, though, it's honestly pretty frustrating because it usually makes me question my card evaluation abilities.

There's also this cycle to think about if you're looking at Delirium: Cemetery Protector Cemetery Illuminator Cemetery Desecrator Cemetery Gatekeeper Cemetery Prowler

If you're going to blame something, blame face-down cards! Stupid manifest/morph, creating absurd numbers of edge-case rules just by existing...

The funny thing is that those exceptions aren't really exceptions? As far as Magic is concerned, there's a distinction between cards and permanents. Before Ikoria, permanents could consist of 0 cards (AKA a token), 1 card, or 2 specific cards (melded permanents). When Ikoria came out, the...

Which is both sensible and, well... The problem is that Companion and Mutate are both hard to balance for very different reasons. Mutate's hard to balance because it's kinda weird and complicated, with a ton of little quirky rules to worry about. Companion is tough to balance because it allows...

I'm kinda amused by the fact that three of those cards are arguably some of the strongest creatures ever printed... and then there's Pouncing Shoreshark.

There's a different card for each word in that sentence.

Yeah, it's legitimately kinda bizarre how bland a lot of these cards are.
