The biggest contributor to this theme, and the biggest reason I'm looking for more creatures that fit it, is Jeskai Ascendancy. The ability to fire off a Grim Lavamancer more than once a turn (or, god forbid, mother of runes) is just great. Love it to bits. Bleeding the theme into RUG, we have...

I can throw a testing vote behind Angel of Finality, which I liked. I actually cut it for Restoration Angel as I powered up my format, funnily enough. It's interesting that your BG decks are the deepest and strongest - I've been having the same problem with the Jeskai theatres. I'm really hot...

Jesse Mason does this eloquently in his Time Spiral block review: It's written from before KTK/SOI, which I think herald another era in set design, one marked by intricate attention to Limited design and the meta-narrative / """story""".

That was great, thanks!

By likes and my own inflated sense of self-importance it's my post about flatter power bands in yet another Grillo thread about how pauper isn't a weird inbred meta but it's actually either the high-res OG Kiora art from the DotP games or this silver-border card I found

Ooh, tricky. I think I'm on Mentor to stay kind of open? Only having three colours in the pack means you're almost certainly feeding your neighbour heavy blue or heavy green - and there's such great options for heavy blue or green - that I like the idea of taking Mentor first and picking up...

New Kiora all the way.

sigh's post about a balanced format crystallizes some of my own thoughts about my own format. If you want to encourage creativity in deckbuilding, there are two major factors as a designer, imo: 1) make sure that there is no 'correct' Platonic build of an archetype, only competing builds with...

Put together a frankly pretty terrible Tinker control deck from psly4mne's cube. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/574651[/url]"] Ones 1 Path to Exile 1 Ponder 1 Serum Visions Twos 1 Bitterblossom 1 Cyclonic Rift 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Mind Stone 1 Snapcaster Mage 1 Thing in the Ice Threes 1 Ashiok...

mea culpa you're totally right

oh no A SINGLE {G}!!! even the turns where all you do is cycle Leap are not expensive and you're probably casting spells after combat / they try to pop your war doughnut anyway so the mana efficiency argument is fallacious imo

Leap is super exciting and fun and a very 'green' feeling of CA imo. The lenticular design where you realize it also works with tokens is a fun development for players to make.

Yeah! Except here she's more for control and Pod midrange. Tempo wants stuff like Clique more imo.

this is a really sad indictment of Modern imo. (note that i haven't said i disagree)

Choosing cuts for this was excruciating. Still not sure my 40 is even close to right. First-picked Gauntlet of Might, card is v. exciting. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/572469[/url]"] Ones 1 Dragonmaster Outcast 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Mother of Runes 1 Tithe Twos 1 Abbot of Keral Keep 1 Abbot of...
