I don't think we should get too sidetracked on the Blasphemous Act line. I ran Act + Reckoner for a long while and it's something that comes up super rarely. Eric, don't you hate Baleful Strix?

This disruption is an interesting point. In theory I'm not a fan of two-card "win the game" combos that do (next to) nothing on their own. Other people have opinions here?

I am intrigued by the card. I _hope_ that it makes fun puzzle board states, but my fear is that games will fall into two categories: a) ones where it shuts down the ground assault of an aggro deck. If you have a 3/3 and a 2/2, do you just swing with the 2/2? If they block, do you waste burn on...

Yeah, but... flavor aside. I think I could potentially be sold on this one, since there's interactivity to it, but hordes of flying deathtouch dudes give me more feelbads than wraths or moats.

I'm not sure if you care about the color pie, but considering Undying was in every color BUT white I'm pretty sure this card would get you immediately ejected from NGDS3. Hybrids live in the intersection of two colors and golds in the union.

Uh...... Can anybody explain to me loving this card? I'm trying to come up with reasons not to drop a giant deuce on it in my set review.

Land Tax

Grindstone + Painter's Servant sounds like the type of play that should happen in any format BUT cube.

It's mostly that it's completely unnecessary to further support blue. I'm not increasing its spell density, it still has 50 just like every other color. All I'm doing is replacing some of the filler (Ponder, Preordain, whatever) with Brainstorms. One of the challenges I've always faced with Blue...

I shamelessly like this relevantly named song:

CML has always made spurious "data backed" claims re: the advantage of being on the play or on the draw, and I never really engaged them, but this comment from a CFB article is pretty relevant: I'm still pretty skeptical of these data collection things, particularly when the output produces...

Valakut is a pretty interesting card and I've thought about tossing it into my Utility Land Draft pile before. The key is creating an environment where the components are potentially useful (read: maindeckable, not have niche gamestate applications while never making a final 40) without the full...

Uh, I have never seen anything like this...

Behold the megacard. EDIT: also this thing looks like balls. I liked my version way better in the custom card forum.

This is a good comparison.

I know this card is kind of whateverland, but this formatting is super unintuitive to me. You have to tap it once for a useless activation? Better to have it ETB tapped.

I knew this was coming.

When I watch streams it seems like the games are often devoid of tension or meaningful decision points. I think part of that may be the fact that damage carries over across turns. Makes the gameplay more incremental. The "never missing land-drops" bit also takes away from tension and makes the...

Mana is quite difficult in this format. I'm open to suggestions of course, but that kind of comes with the territory of two-player drafting. They lean towards "good stuff, bad mana", but from my experience you can pull off fewer colors in Grid than in other formats. I was able to build my pool...
