Mist-Syndicate Naga Has anyone of you had any experience with this guy? I'm looking for another monoblue ninja in addition to Ninja of the Deep Hours, and this seems the most exciting one, but also the one that can get rampantly out of control. It has been reasonable in testing so far, because...

Oh, and I've got a custom in the cube with Raise the Alarm as the front side, and Coordinated Assault as the aftermath side. Either effect is just a bit underwhelming on its own, but staple them together, and you've got a strong Boros card!

Cool! I think Nightbird's Clutches is the card I'm looking for. Thanks for thinking outside the box inscho, and suggesting something that's not a combat trick. I think this will play very well in the hero swarm deck!

I'm looking for a cheap red combat trick, to support the 'hero' deck. There's plenty of options of course, but I was wondering if someone already had some experience and suggestions!

Ssshhh, don't tell SirFunchalot :')

Let me see... The forum rules are a bit dusty, but... Ah, here it is! Section 34, point 2. "Thou shalt not post thrice in a row." Uh oh... "First time offenders shall incur a stern warning. Repeat offenders shall be temporarily banished to the aether!" Oof, I think you're good, but don't...

Castle AI bots are awesome, but by this point CC is so much ahead of CT in terms of support that I'm just drafting on CC. There's an issue on their backlog to make better bots, so it's a matter of time before CC also introduces better bots, I think.

I've watched Nummy and Frank Lepore draft it already. Galeb Gannon was also at it. Great stuff!

You cruel human being :p

Yeah, pretty damning.

Well... I love that hexproof gets an honorable mention. Screw hexproof!

Someone in one of my Discord groups made this today :') Link

Fair, but snow mana is non-trivial in regular Magic (be it MH1 drafts or constructed). There's no untapped snow duals, so you have to lead with a basic to drop Icehide on Tuen 1, and that in turn means you're running a shakier mana base than other decks. Of course this is all relative. In Pauper...

It's definitely an archetype you have to see for yourself once before you grok it, I think. Draft the deck yourself once, and then show other drafters what cool things you can do after milling yourself.

Shapesplicer Marshal is cool! The one drop seems a bit pushed. An artifact 2/2 for 1 in blue? Seems like it should cost W, honestly. Or maybe be a 1/0 with a single +1/+1 counter on it. Breaks the symmetrical statline, but seems still really strong in nonwhite colors or colorless.

Thanks! I wish I could show them to WotC, but sadly they are forbidden to look at unsolicited card designs. Probably just as well, or MaRo would be even more swamped in mail than he already is :')

This addition has been an exciting tool for ninja's! I don't think I've often come close to such a clean intersection between multiple cube archetypes (in this case elemental tribal, ninja's, and discard matters) before. I've been testing the custom below for green, to get some more on...

Yeah, this would be great at 2 cmc, but 2 cmc ramp is reserved for green exclusively in my cube. obviously the first two abilities mirror Chrome Mox, so both that part and the casting cost are locked in, given the concept of the card and the design constraints of my cube. That third ability is...

I was looking for another 3 cmc mana rock for my cube. Is this fair or lacking a bit? Contemplating adding "you may cast that card as though it had flash this turn", or something like that.

To be fair though, they also get a lot of it right. It's easy to piss on the mistakes they make, but as a whole, Magic is still an incredibly engaging game, and apart from Ixalan, which was a bit of a miss for me, recent sets haven't slowed my interest in the game. Then again, it's been over a...
