Which is part of the reason I'm asking - if I recall correctly, the problem with the card is less that villain can't adequately deal with it and more that "pay {2}{B} and feed a card to your rat army" was stronger than actually playing said card. In other words, does the fact that things...

Pack Rat Is this cute li'l guy still GRBS in 2026?

The issue with cards like Field is that the gap between them being playable and them being broken is really narrow, and people are going to be disappointed if they drafted the card because of its reputation as a crazy powerful card and just got a zombie or two out of it.

I'd go with Satyr Wayfinder unless you're providing plenty of ways to trigger Dredger's Insight. When I look at the enchantment my eyes go straight to the magical word "whenever" and I start thinking "ah, this format is going to give me ways to exploit that".

Has it already been making someone's main deck in almost every single draft it shows up in? If not, I'd just chuck it in the core for a few drafts and see if it feels overly prevalent. My suspicion is that the "it'll be an auto-include" worry is like the classic urge to fully balance all of...

It's been a little while, but I've had another Balduvian Trading Post-esque idea that I would like to share. There are a number of card templates that more-or-less scale linearly with cost. For example: Divination Concentrate Tidings Why not lean into that and have a cube where you spend one...

Growth Spiral Eureka Moment Lessons from Life Urban Evolution Hey WotC, why make a power-crept Urban Evolution when you could've made it draw two and cost {1}{G}{U}? Then we wouldn't "need" the land to enter tapped, and my longtime desire for a nice smooth progression would be finally sated...

I brought it up because W&6 got banned from Legacy thanks to its interaction with Wasteland and ability to ping away utility creatures. Who knows, maybe power creep has caught up with the interaction in the last 7 years, but I kinda doubt it.

Back when we did the 360/100 contest, one of the winners was a cube from @Mown where the only card in the basic land box was Aether Hub - this idea's actually perfect for anyone looking to proxy that cube.

Courier of Comestibles, for reference. We actually have a surprising range of non-trinket food at a range of power levels to tutor for: Krovod Haunch Carrot Cake Dubious Delicacy Spicy Oatmeal Pizza Tough Cookie Heaped Harvest Gingerbrute Syr Ginger Eriette's Tempting Apple I'm honestly a...

Most of the list looks reasonable enough to test, but this Nissa specifically is a ramp-focused planeswalker that's 100% GRBS, especially since you're already complaining about Green being a touch too good as a "ramp out titans" color. You might be going "oh, she's 5 mana, that's probably...

Bear in mind that you should not run W&6 and Wasteland in the same format.

I'm kinda curious what you're referring to when you say "nice ramp walkers", because most of the ones I can think of aren't cards I'd run if I was being cautious about planeswalkers. :p

I like the idea, but I'm not sure I like life = loyalty? Some colors are just plain better at gaining life than others, with red standing out by effectively being locked out of that aspect of the game. The real issue, though, is... actually, let's just look at an example: Nissa, Voice of...

It's been 8 months - I think the cookies are burnt. :rinno:

It's not especially value-y, but I've always been fond of Furyblade Vampire It's nice and clean and aggressive.

I'm going to assume that you're not interested in Amulet of Vigor and related stupid nonsense, so... Cloud of Faeries Joint Exploration Snap Vizier of Tumbling Sands Mystic Sanctuary Conduit Pylons OK, they don't have to be the blue ones, but stuff that untaps lands or lets you play multiple a...

It's honestly kinda weird that the only intersection between cycling-related themes and proliferate are Yawgmoth, Thran Physician Unnatural Restoration There isn't even a proliferate card with flashback.

What about Wither and Bloom? +1/+1 counters have always felt a little weird to me as an explicit archetype. Like, "make my creature grow" isn't something that needs a ton of support to be worth doing or a lot of signalling to let people know "this is a thing you can do".

Yes we can, because whether or not a card is "good" or "bad" is ultimately a subjective value judgment unless you have a specific context for it to be good or bad in. A classic example of this is Lightning Bolt being a good card in draft and constructed but a bad card in Commander, simply...
