Fair enough, but I think it's a good rule of thumb to have lands not be unconditionally better than basic lands. There is a reason I didn't include the original ABU duals in my cube. I agree there's some wiggle room though.

Because the basic lands set a baseline for power level? If you could just print things that were unconditionally better than the current baseline, the next new card has to better again to impress. This makes power creep inevitable, and power creep is not necessarily healthy for a game.

Where's the Death! That's just Taxes! :)

From RhymeZone.com: I think there's your answer. I've always had the same associations as you though, which is why I'm struggling to see the problem.

It's probably impossible to understand what being misgendered and gender policed is like unless you've been there or been close to someone who had to deal with that shit. This whole discourse is reminding me about the discussion about Zwarte Piet (link) (Black Peter) in the Netherlands. I have...

You're absolutely right on a theoretical level, but it has never dominated a game like I've seen Celestial Colonnade do. One player did get to copy a Prophetic Bolt with it in the very late game, which was pretty epic! So far I would say it's not been overwhelming and definitely fun to play. I...

Curse of Shallow Graves is awesome! It's also useless if you're not attacking, so it's much less of a Good Stuff midrange card than most planeswalkers.

The difference, I guess, is that the starting point in this thread is the custom card created by the poster, whereas the starting point in The Lab is the problem the poster is trying to solve with a custom. Maybe you already thought of a card and needs feedback, but it could also be that you're...

I'm generally more a fan of recursion than tutoring, but I think it's weird for white to return Swords to Plowshares. I also think reanimating is more of a white thing than regrowing. How's "{2}{w}, exile ~: Return target permanent card with cmc 1 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield."...

Ok, I touched a nerve here, so I'm going to be honest. I fucked up. English is not my native language, and my habitat on the internet is really small. I've never been the victim of social inequality either. I didn't realize SJW was a hot iron, I simply copied it from Lucre's post as it seemed...

Yeah, my cube pushes the three-color theme pretty hard. Like Shards of Alara hard, but with better fixing.

I feel rather silly for not getting the bolded parts, which probably means you should enlighten me. Especially since I found myself agreeing with your posts. I certainly didn't mean to ask awkward questions or be frustratingly academic so please make me less of a fool.

Do notice that between us we're cubing a lot of different cards as well. There's hardly any overlap between my list and shamizy's for example! I forgot Banishing Light in my cube though!

Thank you for succinctly putting into words what troubles me about this debate. Edit: I also think GoblinSpy's explanation is poppycock. Manlands are called that because they turn into a dude, as in "ok, I'm turning my dudes sideways". It's just a figure of speech and interpreting it as "male...

Hasn't won any games so far.

Yeah, it was pretty alright, but mostly Briarhorn just offered more interesting lines of play.

It takes only two people to ruin your goals Jason :P

To be honest, I think I like my customs better.
