    General Most Satisfying Finishers

    Gifts Ungiven Eternal Witness Snapcaster Mage Profane Command Unearth I think this is the most satisfying wincon I've ever assembled IRL.

    General Changing Keywords to make cards competitive

    When I Sharpie cards, I usually write on a perfect fit sleeve and then resleeve, so it's not on the physical card itself. You could print a paper proxy of the card you want that says Instant and it would look a little cleaner. I hear your playgroup's concerns. It might be worthwhile talking...

    General Basic Lands

    I provide a mixed set of BFZ / ZEN full art basics for general use, but I usually assemble my own deck with the basics I like in Constructed (albeit in formats where you play, like, 2-5 basics): The mountain is my favourite. I have a small handful from Constructed, but I also double-sided...

    I've added mechanics to cards a lot, as well as done the mana-cost-finagling Velrun mentions. My favourite was Spiketail Drakeling but with flash.

    I ran Nissa's Renewal for a while in exactly that role and it was great. 7 life is so great stapled onto a card that doesn't develop your board until next turn. Guarantees any splash you're running, throws a bone to the guy who insists on forcing 5C control without actually making the deck good...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Avacyn was stupidly busted in my cube. Either side might've been fine, but being able to basically flip at will with a sac outlet was too far above my power band.

    I'm a CubeTutor Champion again, which means I can put my custom cards back online! I wanted to take a moment to go over my current customs and discuss what I like - and don't - about them. It's rare to hear feedback on custom cards you don't personally play and I've always thought it was...

    I don't know why I felt moved to do this, but I was. A tribute in a language he spoke, I guess. I think he would like the card. Departed Designer {2}{W} When ~ETBs, create a 1/1 flying Spirit. First Strike Threshold -- if ~ is in your graveyard, at the beginning of your upkeep, create a 1/1...

    Holy shit. I'm blown away by this awful news. I've met Lulu a few times and every time we've clicked immediately. One of the most fun, lowest-pressure relationships I've ever had. We used to text each other custom card designs all the time. We could talk Magic, politics, or arts and culture into...

    I will be picking up 8 Storm Crow tokens, 8 OG Storm Crows, and making my artistic players draw eight more. If you're Storming Crows, you should get to choose what they look like, and should be allowed to 'make them rain' onto the playing table. I think foils of this bad bitch are gonna be...

    Hey, what a looker! She's put many a game away, but I run Elspeth Tirel now because she was just a liiiiiittle too strong. (She is very, very, strong) I play Angel of Serenity and Sun Titan. They play well as 'white graveyard recursion' and CA engines that feel powerful but not unbeatable, and...

    I already feel self-conscious about Restoration Gearsmith. I know this is the {B/G} thread but i think you have enough recursion in G and B separately, and enough competition for slots in {B/G}, pharika's mender is a bit too awkward at 5 mana imo to take a guild slot. e: baloth null is a sick...
