I agree about Portal to Phyrexia (I also kinda just find it ugly as sin). God-Pharaoh's Gift is much worse power-wise, the biggest disadvantage unfortunately being that it can only pull from your graveyard. However, 7cmc is a lot more achievable in ramp list and I like the art and zombie/embalm...

Wayward Swordtooth & Path of Discovery. Your Green token producers are higher up the curve and I think Wayward Swordtooth's Exploration imitation is a great tool to speed up their impact. It has extra utility with Zendikar's Roil, allowing for multiple tokens per turn. Path of Discovery is...

Koth's -2 alone is more interesting than that Chandra's whole suite of Loyalty options and that isn't to say that his other abilities are bad either. I would much rather play with him than that Chandra.

In a near 360 card cube that includes both Artist's Talent & Underworld Breach I genuinely believe Grapeshot has the potential to be terrifying (in the good way). It provides flexibility to an artifact heavy storm deck with Bolas's Citadel as a secondary Tinker target. If your Selesnya...

Interesting, yeah that makes a lot of sense. I will try to analyze your list through using that tag from now on when posting responses. If I may ask, when you consider cards like Field as a 'healthy' inclusion for your environment, are you scrutinizing it as a potential 'core' inclusion? Or...

I don't find Field to be an egregious inclusion. Like you said, you include a suite of Vista's as your primary source of recursive, strong fixing. Your Loam / Dredge support for 660 doesn't seem so omnipresent that Field would easily come online, and Temur <-> Rainbow strategies would just earn...

My cube had some early stages of being much lower in power level than it is now, and when I did draft it with friends I never found the following to be 'issues': Snapcaster Mage Dark Confidant Tarmogoyf Snapcaster is hardly ever bad and would probably be an outlier in quite a few lists, but...

I feel ya about multicolor slots. Extending White into supporting creature combos, primarily through recursion loops, was 100% was pushed me past 720 over here, mostly due to the amount of 'junk' slots needed in multicolor to offer deep support. (Now that I have the space I actually kind of love...

Lorehold, the Historian This is by far, the coolest Dragonstorm enabler / target I have seen printed to date. Absolute gem of a spoiler, bravo WoTC. I was severely underwhelmed by all of the Elder Dragons from the first foray into Strixhaven other than Velomachus Lorehold coincidentally...

Kinscaer Sentry This card seems disgusting. I actually love its attack trigger so much, it is a pretty novel payoff for a go-wide strategy, but man I really don't think it needed to be so juiced by those keywords, makes it a such a nuisance to deal with on defense.

Seems like a really fun strategy to employ in an environment where 'Cycling Matters' could be supported. There are definitely some cases of conditional removal / creature buff effects containing that keyword. In a similar spirit, both White and Blue includes some cards that grant flying which...

I think if played in a fairer environment that Mind's Desire Has no issue being a fun and memorable casino cheat piece for non-creature spells. Good? Debatable. The original Ron Spencer artwork is amazing imo. A monocolor focused ramp accelerant I like is: Irencrag Feat Narrow for sure but...

Really happy with this Dragonstorm Draft: Creatures 1 Harvester of Misery 1 Kokusho, the Evening Star 1 Tyrant of Kher Ridges 1 Velomachus Lorehold 1 Utvara Hellkite Instants 1 Repeal 1 Flash 1 Force of Negation Sorceries 1 Firebolt 1 Arc Trail 1 Life from the Loam 1 Show and Tell 1 Wheel of...

Thanks for the drafts @Nanonox, both decks seemed really cool. I'm really starting to think that with enough cross-pollination of its own kind, 'combo' including storm can thrive in 1080. Or at least that is truly my hope.

Deepening Archetypal / Combo Support in 1080: This round of changes is primarily to support the addition of the following archetypes / combo pieces: Replenish Polymorph Ad Nauseam Cadaverous Bloom Replenish - Recurring Enchantments from the Graveyard is already loosely supported for...

Garna, the Bloodflame Seems pretty cool as a value reanimation target in Rakdos, but unsure if she cracks it at your power-level. She has interesting interactions with both Victimize and Dread Return where non-token sacrifice fodder will be popped back to hand, allowing additional fueling for...

Evoke is definitely exciting, I am curious if Persist will make a return as well, would love an increase in density there too.

I hope we get a strong 2-cmc mono-U Faerie Looter with a clean design more than anything.

Of all the sets to be delayed lmao

Blech I hate my Blue creature section right now because I am anticipating some absolutely sick-nasty tempo faeries to be spoiled. Lorwyn hurry plox
