Yeah, I'd save that slot for other cool cards. :p Too bad you aren't looking for a five drop, otherwise I'd suggest... Spelltithe Enforcer I know it's not super powerful, but who doesn't love an Elephant Wizard?

My apologies if this seems particularly ramble-y. I got this in my head and posted it instead of sleeping, so it's probably full of phrasing that only makes sense to me. :p

OK, so a while back I had this idea for a gate focused format, which boils down to "start with Basilisk Gate + Heap Gate on the battlefield and one of the OG gates in your hand". And that was fine and all for a brainstorm, but it felt WAY too gold for my tastes — due to how flexible your mana...

Yeah, but there's "learn the power of removal" and then there's "hope that villain didn't draft too many creatures for the amount of removal I managed to snag". Unless the Worship Format is Duplicate Sealed, "did I pack enough removal?" is not something you really have control over within the...

I've thought about that a bunch, honestly... and it seems really tricky to pull off in a satisfying way? If you have the emblems in the main draft, they're basically going to all be first picks due to being free cards. They'd probably have drafting patterns like the big, game-changing...

Snom? I am confuzzled and possibly uncultured — what is snom?

So, having had time to sleep... Phyrexian Unlife!Format: Effectively the same as just starting with 30 life. There are some quirks (like how you can run some creatures with Infect without having an explicit "infect deck"), but most of the weirdness basically requires one player to be losing...

Mown made a cube with a strong Snow theme as part of the 360/100 contest.

I mean, if you're building the Transcendence Cube, you're going to make everyone start at 0 life, and you aren't going to be running Invigorate. Also, legitimate question: do you feel like burn spells are "oops I win" as well? Because I know that there are quite a few people on this forum that...

I'm not sure that it'd be too interesting? If you don't change any other rules, it's effectively just +10 starting life for everyone. More importantly, though, the way that it achieves that limits how much the cardpool can interact with the changed rules — and, unfortunately, the obvious...

These are going to be a bit stronger than the existing Learn/Lesson cards, but shouldn't be too much stronger.

The reason I've never vibed with Emergent Sequence, even in decks/formats designed to maximize it, is that there's a big difference between creature-based ramp and land-based ramp. Rampant Growth is land-based ramp — once it puts that land onto the battlefield, it has done its job. It's very...

And my custom cards formats are all "what if everyone got a Cadaverous Bloom emblem?" All customs are OK, Erik. :p

I concur with getting rid of Emergent Sequence — it's one of those cards that I've tried to love but just can't get into.

Yeah, I feel like "+1/+1 counters matter" should be approached more like Splicers than a straight-up subtheme — instead of going full Dice Factory, run stuff like Duskshell Crawler or Pollenbright Druid for their flicker value.

I think that that has more to do with Crucible and LftL being strong effects (my addendum was kinda damning Edge with faint praise...)

Both Edge and Explore aren't really "jam this in any deck that can run Green" cards. Explore is a card that's great if you have a land in hand or on top of your library, and incredibly mediocre otherwise. If the deck isn't drawing cards or tutoring up lands, I would honestly be more interested...

Make it a Knight and we can talk.

Ramp. It's for ramping. Recommission is for grindy value, though.

I agree that the set feels kinda meh overall... but I'm not sure why, given that I like individual designs: Distinguished Conjuror Alandra, Sky Dreamer Merfolk Pupil Synchronized Eviction Conductor of Cacophony Skullslither Worm Daring Piracy Primeval Herald Rampaging Growth Planar Atlas...
