    Shards Of Something-Or-Other

    Very good observation. That wasn't something I was consciously having an opinion on, but I guess that's just because it (like "green ramps") is just very baked into the game. Certainly if the ramp can't be interacted with (because it's an enchant land) then the ramp payoffs have to not be too...

    Shards Of Something-Or-Other

    Thanks for the suggestions. I think Duress would be doomed to perma-sideboard because I don't think I have the key non-creatures for it to snag, but the rest seem reasonable options. I don't have an issue with mana dorks from a power perspective. I was just thinking that if I wanted cheap green...

I did think Sylvan Library might be too good, so if do keep it in I'll...

    Shards Of Something-Or-Other

    Thank you blacksmithy, that's exactly what I'm in the market for - especially personal experience with some of the speculative choices. The idea behind Verge Rangers is that lots of the "blink" spells can bounce lands, which enables landfall and the "if opponent has more lands" cards (Land Tax...

    Shards Of Something-Or-Other

    Introduction Hi everyone, long time listener first time caller. I don't really play all that much MTG these days, but I wanted to put together a cube so that I can do so on an even footing with my fellow occasionals, and also partially as just a fun theoretical design exercise. To that end, I...
