I must say that star wars set actually looks like something resembling a limited format. Some of the multicolor cards are a bit spicy but the mechanics are pretty clever.

I think that is a pretty good strategy. We sort of touched upon it in the metagame thread. A way to provide more "play" to the format would be to make the resources more puzzle piece like. To get value out of a card, you need to put in a position where it can provide you with it. That situation...

Your point being?

Is it maybe time to do a overhaul of our sweet-spells section and just absolutely purge the four cmc slot? Like, that is a pretty crowded place at the moment. I'm not the only one that has seen a bunch of control decks being built from my cube as "brainstorm and four drops". It's too bad that...

I mean that's a shit ton of life to gain from cracking eggs. Wouldn't be surprised if some nutter put it in their power max cubes just to make that lotus pop feel even a touch juicier

They really missed out on the chance of printing a really cool counterspell there

That sounds like a nice combination of stabiliser and wincon actually.

*fart noises*

Isn't it more like, WotC (like some of us?) has possibly had struggles with giving WB a clear identity so they're trying out stuff like enchantments (auras) and life gain?

Sure, but I don't think white black ones count. If you're playing black you're already having access to sac!

I can understand the frustration though if people stick more to the words than the idea, one which I agree with.

celestial flare Gideon's reproach Wouldn't Gideons reproach and wing shards (and azorious charm) be a nice little package for white answer cards that are just clunky enough as a proactive player for them to wheel to the (reactive) control player?

This I find pretty interesting, because it gets mentioned and I agree but I also haven't seen people mention much more than condemn and oust. What are some other aggro unfriendly removal?

Boo! I'm actually putting it just because it is really good alone but allows you to do cute stuff like unearth and really explode. I'd compare it to kitchen finks as an arguably broken card that still tickles you're brain while drafting with promises about janky interactions that actually...

Not removing important packages like reaniamtor and fixing prior to shuffling up a 360 for 6 people and then seeding (shuffling in) the packages leads to lopsided drafts. One player was super unhappy about my reaniamtor support until he found out it had all ended up in the 90 cards we didn't draft.

It's also a nice way to throw control a "do big dorky cool stuff" bone when they've manage to snag up all that multicolored removal.

Doo iiiit!

Can we expand on that pants mini theme? Fabled Hero might be hamhanded. Double strikers in general? Mother of Runes and other protection spells seems great.

What in the lords name did you even say there. I can't begin to parse that!
