My mental image of the aftermath of these two sets is just Sorin gesturing to... everything, with a very pointed look on his face. And then Nahiri shows up just to flip him off.

"Retail level" was a joke. :p It turns out that repeated reanimation is very strong, even when it has really strict restrictions.

I'd like to get in on that sweet cube-testing action as well, please.

Loam and Crucible are very different cards, honestly, in that Loam is also an incredibly powerful graveyard enabler. If you just want people to do cute things with fetches and cycling lands, Crucible (or Ramunap Excavator) is probably safer.

If you run Wand, you might as well also run... Lantern of Insight ... Also, thinking back to "dumb retail-level combos"... Abiding Grace Vexing Devil :D

Aww, no love for RW "NO, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY LANDS!!!1!", starring Pardic Miner and Dauntless Avenger?

Has anyone ever played with this thing? Moonhold What kind of deck wants that? Wildfire?

Admiral's Order I love this thing as counterspell for more proactive blue decks, especially in a slower format where the must-counter stuff is more expensive (so that it doesn't hurt as much to play it as a Cancel). It brushes aside spell-based combat tricks, protects any threats you play in...

Honestly, my beef with Adamant is that most of the cards need to be cast with Adamant to even feel average. And, while Chroma and Devotion also give you an incentive to stay in your lane while drafting, they do so in a much more interesting way. Now that I look at them more closely, though, I...

Man, I wish Adamant was worth caring about. You'd have to be running pretty weak creatures for these guys to be worth building towards: Ardenvale Paladin Vantress Paladin Locthwain Paladin Embereth Paladin Garenbrig Paladin It was, like, the only mechanic in Eldraine that doesn't have any...

I mean, the BTP solution would be to turn gold cards into MDFCs. Aether Helix front, Woodland Stream back, that kinda thing.

Is it just me, or does having Ash Barrens in your BLB sound really sweet with Drake Haven? Yeah, sure, they cycle for {1}, but they always cycle you into extra lands.

So, one thing I've noticed is that the "decks not cards" philosophy pushes you towards two conflicting extremes: A) WotC-Style Limited Cube, where you have a bunch of overlapping "themes", with bombs inside those themes that help pull things together. B) Constructed-Style Cube, where you have a...

Mortarpod Stone Haven Outfitter

Yeah, if you want to be normal.

I think it's less of a matter of power and more of a matter of speed. If your format is glacially slow, the Ramos cycle goes from "terrible" to "mediocre". That being said, if you're looking for cute ways to enable Delirium... Ruins of Trokair Svyelunite Temple Ebon Stronghold Dwarven Ruins...

Plague Mare Mirror Mockery

Approach of the Second Sun Unsubstantiate OK, more seriously: Brutal Suppression Knight of the Holy Nimbus Sporeback Troll Shifting Shadow Renegrade Krasis Agoraphobia (EDIT: I decided to shift some stuff around a bit.)

Artificial Evolution shut up i can make a tribal cube work

Velrun, you're talking to blacksmithy here. They have built their cube around that, and also are fully convinced that everyone else should build their cube that way as well. Come on, this is like talking to me and not going "what heinously stupid design restriction have you decided on today?"
