Golden Fields Land — Plains {T}: Add one mana of any color. Spend this mana only to pay for white spells or abilities from white sources. Mocking Tidepools Land — Island Mocking Tidepools enters the battlefield tapped unless you discard a card. Hellbent — {T}, Add one mana of any color...

Yeah, it all feels like a little... much? I'm also not a big fan of the Incubator tokens being double-sided and involving +1/+1 counters — that seems like it'd be overly fiddly in paper.

My eyes are sliding off most of the designs, but these three are kinda neat: The Seer and Artisan seem like they'd do well in the Capitalism Cube (moreso the Seer, but the Artisan's just interesting). Voldaren Thrillseeker, on the other hand, is a shoe-in for one of my 2-3-7 projects — it...

It's not that it's slow, it's that Jordan's character work is garbage. Wheel of Time is only really worth reading for the (pretty decent) world-building, in my opinion (and Mat. It really should've just been a series about Mat trying desperately to run away from his destiny, with all of the big...

OK, so... now I know to never take book suggestions from you. :p (I got to book... 10? I think? The one where he decided to stop the plot to catch us up with literally every side character he ever introduced? And that was during my teenage years when I would read literally anything, no matter...

Yeah... I'm not really feeling it? At least not as a DFC-only card type.

My goal was to strike up some flavor of discussion... which was a rousing success! :marofl: In all seriousness, though... my question is, in a roundabout way, about the draft (I just phrased it badly, because I just finished work and was sleepy). Basically... if you saw Spring//Mind in a draft...

Legitimate question: how would you classify these cards? Spring//Mind Road//Ruin and would you classify them the same way if the Aftermath part only had a single colored pip? EDIT: To clarify, would you be willing to sort these into the mono-green part of your cube, or would you feel the need...

The latter, pretty much.

All I know is that I want to see someone go T3 W&R into T4 Expand The Spheres + W&R ult. Because that's going to be standard legal, and won't be toxic at all. In all seriousness, though, I think it's pretty solid, even if you mostly just treat it like a 3/3 haste hexproof vigilance that...

This is nothing new. I remember that people used to joke that the Magic writing team couldn't visit a plane without hitting it with an apocalypse or some other major world-shattering event, with some planes getting two or more. I think Arcavios and Eldraine are the only planes we've visited so...

The frustrating one is this dang Cat Beast: Kaheera, the Orphanguard Control decks look at this and go "wow, thanks, I wasn't planning on running any creatures in the first place!" And then Snapcaster Mage cries in the corner...

I tinkered with Oathbreaker a little bit a while ago. It's fun if everyone is messing around, but it immediately falls off the cliff into Sweaty Try-Hard Land if people are playing it seriously. Which is a shame, because I really liked how my ramp deck played: Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Primal...

Don't forget to let everyone have a background too! ... I wonder if a better route for the Specialize commanders would be to print all five versions (the unspecialized version + all of the gold "sides"), bundle the sides off to the side, and have drafters cash in the unspecialized version at...

Iconoclast is probably stronger, but Saheeli is way more fun thanks to that -2.

Given that this leak amounts to "literal scraps of cards left over from a shredded recycling bundle", I'm not sure how much stock I put in the various theories of what this all means about the future of the game. (A part of me finds it absolutely hilarious how we've gone from "the leak is a...

Gandalf should actually be an Angel, while Tom should be an Avatar (he's heavily implied to be a manifestation of Middle Earth itself).

Some other cards that have caught my eye so far: 1) I hope we have a Food subtheme. C'mon, give me a Food subtheme, Wizards! 2) Depending on what it means to be tempted by the Ring... Sam looks like a really solid 2-drop. 3) I hope Tom Bombadil is a sign that we're going to have more Sagas...

White Remand is great, and I love it.

I think boss vs. leader is a cuter way of putting it, though. :p --- While it might seem like leaders are what you generally want, there is one feature of bosses that should be kept in mind: you can push them harder than leaders, because they aren't working yet. :p In less cryptic terms...
