Well, that, or do the FIRST COMBO that me and my friends figured out back when we were teenagers: Palace Guard Ghostly Possession

That's when you hit them with the ol' Gravity Well

Fair enough. I disagree with your assessment of one being smoother than the other, but I'll chalk that up to a difference in opinion. ... I just realized that they missed an opportunity with Battles — they could've stuck all the rules info on the "back" of the card and made the front part a...

I will confess being a little confused that you pointed to Learn/Lessons as requiring extra tracking or being a hassle to implement and not, say, Foretell.

The commons are pretty sweet, honestly: And then there's this guy:

Death-Greeter Champion and Chivalric Alliance are great. Another Commander design that I actually really like is: Look at this little guy. It's his birthday, and he decided his present was going to be a crossover between all of the different Vampire things.

Counterpoint to landofMordor: When have we ever stayed on topic in a thread that wasn't discussing a particular cube topic? No, seriously, the LotR set preview thread turned into a book suggestion thread for crying out loud. That's just how we do things around here. In other words: if you want...

I'll agree to that — the flip cards are great because they sharply limit the amount of text you can stick on there, which I think is a good thing.

Honestly, it would've been the perfect time to introduce the "forbidden" mechanic that they toyed with in Avacyn Restored — make it so Lessons were good spells that you couldn't include in your library, meaning that you had to tutor them up with spells that let you Learn a Lesson. ... I don't...

I mean, Learn actually saw a bit of play in Standard. It's just that it was pretty weak power-level wise (so it didn't break into eternal formats), can't be used at all in Commander (because it has a "no wishes" rule), and fits kinda awkwardly into Cube. I also think it's a little unfair to lump...

The weird thing about Battles is that it feels like they're trying really hard to force them to be a thing. Compare this to the last card type they added to the game (planeswalkers) — the first set with planeswalkers literally only had them as a single cycle: Ajani Goldmane Jace Beleren Liliana...

So, let me tell you about the tagger project. :p You can try fiddling around with something like... Annoyingly, there is a mirran-resistance tag... but it has only been used for cards showing the Mirran resistance in ONE and the related Alchemy/Commander sets.

The Blind Eternities getting their own page is funny to me, and I'm not sure why.

Yedora goes infinite with a sac outlet and one of these five: Watcher of the Roost Dragon's Eye Savants Ruthless Ripper Horde Ambusher Temur Charger Do with this information what you will. ... The funny thing is that I actually prefer that they're doing this instead of having Phyrexia roll...

This is honestly one of the better-designed color hate cards I've seen so far: That flavor text is super clunky, though — it has that "we're trying to sound math-y but we refuse to ask anyone who actually does stuff with math for ideas" issue that a lot of Quandrix flavor text had. It also...

Another excuse to run Vision Skeins

I think you missed part of the metaphor, Ravnic — when you cast Invasion of Ravnica, you're the invader, and Guildpact Paragon is your prize/the reason why you're invading. The initial effect is your declaration that you're pursuing that goal, and they can block your forces because that...

If I run one battle, it will be that one, if only for the flavortext on the back. :p

I would like to highlight this little friend: Guildsworn Prowler The body might be kinda small these days, but it can trade up against pretty much anything (either because you used it to chump something bigger, or you drew a card off of someone blocking it), it dissuades people from destroying...

Honestly, what else do we know about Segovia other than the fact that, by some twist of the multiverse, it's incredibly tiny? It has only gotten four cards, after all, including the Battle: Segovian Leviathan The Hippodrome Segovian Angel EDIT: I guess it'd be Tiny Rome, judging by the...
