Urza, Lord High Artificer https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Magic/Insight/Articles/Urza-Decks-in-Modern-Whirza-Outcome-and-Ascendancy I am a huge fan of this card. Like Yawgmoth, Wizards delivered. For anyone interested or wants to be tempted, this article is describing what Urza can do in a 60...

I guess screw everything, right? ;) Why even give cards mana cost or art?

The tiebreaker should clearly be Wizards of the Coast. They have only printed Aftermath cards with X to Y And not X to YZ Born (X) to be (Y) Wild (Z) Summon (X) to War (Y) Maybe someone can find a better X to Y than Summon to War. That was the best I got :P

Thank you GalacticTraveler12. Nobody else could write that better. I think you defeated your own statement in one short sentence. If there is a reason Wizards of the Coast stopped printing Birds of Paradise in Standard, then why have they printed Gilded Goose? If your answer is to say...

Yeah but during Amonkhet block it was 1 word (to) 1 word. Not 1 word (to) 2 words. So Born (to) be Wild doesn’t work if we are using Amonkhet as a template. I suggest: Summon (to) War

The card is definitely more Riptide if we look past the fact that it is a custom card. And it will also play better for a deck that would want either cards. I think the name sounds like a joke. It reminds me too much of the 1968’th pop song ‘Born to be Wild’ by Steppenwolf. If this is the true...

Paper! <3

Do we really need to slot in 9-14 creature spots in order to get a Birthing Pod to work? You give them 4? I give them 2 for one pick.

Well alright :) I think what makes the new ones (Drake Haven etc.) better and easier to build around is the fact that they trigger from discard and not from cycle. Compare these two with the two I posted above. Lightning Rift and Astral Slide

How many of each mana cost would you include in your Pod deck. 1: 0 2: Any number, doesn’t matter 3: 2 4: 2 5: 2 6: 1 Something like that?

Design challenge Madness enchantment Design a mono-red 3 mana enchantment in the same family as these two: Drake Haven Faith of the Devoted Red already has Lightning Rift but it doesn’t trigger from discard in general and it doesn’t cost 3 mana. White has Astral Drift which I might change...

From this talk https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/community-cuts-thread.2009/page-2#post-85581 Birthing Pod vs Collected Company I like both. But is Pod too difficult to build around?

Discussing annoying archetypes > Annoying memes Un an entirely unrelated note: Has the large influx of MtG games (worldwide) per hour with the release of Arena made MtG discussions more focused towards some minor hate for the top tier Standard deck and less about creativity?

Truth

Approach of the Second Sun How much support does this large gem needs? Which support cards are you guys running?

People were saying the same things about MODO in the early years. “Arg, rage, MODO is just a cash grab and they just want a platform where they can sell Standard and nothing else. MODO will double the booster pack sales. Etc.” Now MODO has..like.. twelve formats. Lesson to be learned: Everyone...

The user Binmaa posted this little fun fact I think is cute: “ Well in Theory you could say that there is a connection: RTR block was 2013 Mirrodin block was 2003 The game released 1993 So if you take Pioneer, Mirrodin and Legacy there is a new Eternal format every 10 years.”

I think that is a pretty newbie opinion/guess. Remember how Magic Online was the first few years? I am talking about Magic Online 1.0. Also called MODO. It was only Standard. Same as Arena. And slowly they started implementing more formats and sets. If Arena is still only Standard in 2024...

I never heard of paper Historic. I thought it was a Arena-only format. And I guess it will still be alive for years to come?

I won't ever touch it. I think it is poorly designed. Also it is clumsy for paper Magic because of all the power/toughness altering doesn't show automatically like on Arena. Oko, the Fixed 1UG +1: Create a Food token. -1: Target artifact or creature loses all abilities and becomes a green...
