Yeah, I understand what you're saying. There is the question of whether splashiness is a good thing. I certainly wouldn't want a million of these effects, but in small doses I can see it being fun and exciting. It's also one of those P1P1 cards that will make even the most ardent aggro player...

Sage is actually the newest one coming in. Maybe it's just a feeling, but my instinct says that ramp is too unwieldy and slow at the moment. If I make a set about ramp, I really don't want it to be a Tier 2 strategy. I've had a gut feeling that I don't actually want to play ramp in this set if...

Yeah, lack of fetchlands really isn't a problem around here. Often you'll draw a hand without any, and the opponent will do the graveyard filling for you.

I really like the role it plays. Roadblock, then grabs a finisher or a bigger finisher (Eldrazi). Seems like a fun card that rampy decks really want. You can even rebuy a dead Eldrazi with it, since they shuffle back in.

Hmmm... Not sure if I agree...

It'd be nice if you had picked up more 1-drops. On another note, I don't think Deathrite Shaman has ever not been mainboarded in my cube.

Reasonable body on its own: check Multicolor for the ____blade cycle: check Does absurd things with Chord of Calling, Genesis Wave, Slime Molding, Green Sun's Zenith, Profane Command, Chimeric Mass and Devil's Play: check

I have room for 5 of these 6: Leaning towards one of Ulvenwald Bear, Matca Rioters and Renegade Krasis. All of them fit my themes pretty well. One thing I am worried about is creating too much demand for death triggers, with the ramp deck not being able to get their spawn token cards. Really...

I have taken Elspeth out of my cube. She was a complete bomb in either aggro or control, and wasn't doing great things for my environment.

It's possible that Echo is also a fun way to turn on Morbid, but I'm not seeing any echo cards I like for this design.

Man, apparently my bookkeeping was really sloppy because I'm missing about 20 cards on my list that I just simply never ordered. When I started my original cube I just started with the cards that I had and very gradually converged on a "finished" list. Trying to get a specific 360 card...

The idea is that in many many situations where the cards are weighted, valued and used interchangeably in drafting, deckbuilding and gameplay. The fact that there are many said cards allows for the sufficient redundancy needed for archetype building under the singleton restriction. Many...

I'm surprised you mainboarded the Birthing Pods. This doesn't seem like the deck for that.

Going to? This thing should have been online weeks ago. The problem is that we have no actual deadlines.

Triple oops. At least all the players here will be able to read the Boros Elite.

Yeah, I have all but the 10 most expensive cards or so in my possession now. With an extreme amount of luck I can run a draft of it this weekend.

Yeah, there should be a big warning when you place a huge order. "It looks like you ordered 119 English cards and 1 Japanese one. Was this a whoopsie?"

Yeah, it's a big difference between that and something more mainstream like, say, 7 nearly interchangeable mana dorks.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to begrudge you for mentioning Hex, apologies if my tone came off badly. My main intent was to not-so-subtly prod Eric into writing his article. What's it about? You'll find out tonight when it goes online. Right?

What has two thumbs and is now an accidental owner of a Japanese Worldheart Phoenix?
