What are you building? Molten Vortex Loam?

I could read these cards for days. Robots are so amusing.

Why win the game when you can just discard a bunch of cards on end step? Phyrexian Dreadnought Momentous Fall

This likely affects the balance of your environment somehow. It's a mechanic that addresses mana flood but not mana screw, and requires mana to take advantage of. I am not sure exactly where that shakes out, but it must do something.

I generally don't want to sac my board state for this type of effect, but I could see the appeal.

Is this a Sorcery? Either way, card for card it's a less flexible, more efficient (potentially) Sphinxes' Rev. I think we've all seen that tagging life gain to mass card draw can do wonders. The problem of course is that this requires creature density, if only there were some way we could...

Glaring Spotlight

?

I think we were toying with this trigger before, but on a sorcery instead of a body. These cards look great, what a cool set. Far more exciting than Magic 20XX.

Do people consider opposition to be net fun positive? I haven't had too many bad cube experiences with it. Opposition + Master of Waves seems like a good time or a bad time, depending on your perspective. The CFB Cube crew was pretty anti Smokestack for being a shitty card. My experiences...

Then it'd be Think Twice with a side effect?

I think this is a good direction, even if some picks seem a little suspect. As long as the focus stays on cards that are narrow and enabling I think it's got solid rationale.

Uh, that was me, wasn't it?

Yeah, I was thinking about if something with simultaneous selection would work too, but then you'd need some method of resolving "ties" or whatnot. It just looks challenging to put together a sensible deck, and not as strategic as I had hoped.

But now that I see it laid out, maybe it's a shit idea. Like, imagining picking a deck out of this is pretty challenging, the movement is too restricted.

Here's a prototype: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18DqSK0R_s5vOVqnQmGTrLtvHqPGRMJ5kRBbhQ8WZRHk/edit?usp=sharing This is after 6 moves. Each player placed their initial pawn, then Hannes used his Rook and James moved his pawn, with current move on Jason.

Each player has one pawn on the board. So your first turn, you place it on the board. On each subsequent turn, you discard another piece to move your pawn with that piece's movement characteristics. So, discard your rook to move like a rook. Discard your knight to move like a knight. Does...

Okay, what if: Each player is given from a standard chess set: 4 Pawns (one is starting piece, can move one space in any direction) A Rook A Knight A Bishop A King/Queen (Kings are Queens for movement purposes) Each player starts by placing a pawn on their starting card (an assigned corner...

Maybe it's dumb, and Grid Drafting already covers it, but it was a thought I had. Probably works best as a 4-player thing. Anybody willing to test / suggest improvements?
