No, by making multicoloured spells abundant in the cube and add counterplay like this artifact. I abhor 3/1 for 2 with upside, but that is my flaw. Still, counterplay is the basis of magic.

Thank you for the recommendation! I will look at it

Well, it is more complicated. Wizards could use rotation to have a few sets a tad more powered and a few sets focused on synergy (but less power on average). If chosen this path, then power creep would be almost non-existant. Alas, the higher powers chose differently (I.e. fun/quick-bucks) and...

Hmm. I think the mirror is quite interesting for once in a while. Do not squadron sweepers!

Maybe that is why there is no iconic one. They are never alone and it is the sheer amount/size that does you in. That’s why rhox, although an inevitable beater probably does not need the supertrample. The other colours often have one creature that finishes you.

The iconic cards do not need to be balanced compared to each other, but balanced in your cube.

It may be wordy but is much easier to remember not fuck up than haste, first-strike, vigilance, lifeline, trample keyword soup.

Why not both? change the minus 2 to: discard a card. Then search your library and graveyard for an artifact or creature card with mana value 2 or less. Put that card into the battlefield. Maybe it becomes too strong this way?

Tutors are violating the spirit of single card philosophy. At the same time tutors make certain deck styles possible.

You can even do this when your deck is non-singleton. E.g. you have 2 in your deck then when you draw one of those you throw a dice. If, e.g, it is even then you have drawn the tutored card and remove it and draw another one. Problem remains that you have to promise not to have the card already...

Oepsie, confused with another member. My fault. Still, why is the brc decks a problem, it is just an example (but weaker powered) of the design nowadays of bomb->bigger bomb->done

No, in the early days the removal was pushed but the creatures were weak. Still, draft and so on was won with the bad creatures.

How are most of the cards different from the list of creatures you mentioned? Well, the decks are a bit lower powered than your list, but your list are all cards that needs to be answered immediately (and if you answer then you are often already behind) or overbombed. No thanks

I like my games which do not deteriorate in: Bomb -> bigger bomb/answer/ -> bigger bomb/answer etc until game over for the one who is out of luck. The brothers war commander decks were like this and although it is fun for a few times (spectacular comebacks) it is also rather boring.

So, all except one can do something immediately when they hit play. Hmm, how far the game has gone that not having an immediate impact nullifies a card.

Lower power and then nighthawk would not be something I expect in the same sentence.

Nope, (well depends on the other cards you have in the cube). You have 2 creatures, and then playing one more gives you a freebee. I think that Jinny only gets real strong when you have cards that make multiple tokens for not much mana. Like a lot of food/clue/power stone/goats/useless ones.are...

I agree, but sometimes they do not have an answer. Anger can be answered, wonder is a bit more painful. Let alone: genesis That one is either too slow or unbeatable/inevitable depending on the other cards in the pool. These are fun cards, but only so in a tight band. Some of the anger cards...

Well, it just gives you one additional creature for each non-token creature you play. Whoop whoop. No, you do not just kind of win.

Well, if you have one other nonland permanent then your opponent will likely choose that one. Why not cards that do damage to all creatures, e.g., wildfire
