It's a budget thing? And you aren't ready to go down Blacksmithy Road? Yeah, sure, take the "bad" filterlands. It's still going to do filter, it's just not going to be terribly smooth while it does it.

Honestly, the biggest issue with them is that they don't tap for any mana on their own. Compare it to the (much sexier) version from the full filterland cycle: Sunken Ruins EDIT: I realize that that was kinda vague, and didn't touch on an important difference — Catacombs can filter off-color...

I mean, the correct number to pick is always going to be 0. Anything else is simply cowardice. ;)

The key differences between Sprout Swarm and Skyfisher Monument are that Skyfisher Monument requires two cards (which means that it's less consistent) and that Skyfisher Monument is way easier to disrupt, either with instant-speed creature removal or by removing the big lump sitting on the...

I have a constructed deck with that combo in it. And it's... fine? It gives you inevitability in the late game, sure, but it's not like Pack Rat where it is straight-up better than anything else you might want to do after a certain point.

My current take on the cube (I have 2) is avoiding special frames (so no split cards/Planewalkers/Sagas), so I'm not planning on shoving it in. Going by my original take (where I was using special frames), though, both costs would have to match. As a result, I'd be restricted to: Combat...

It's 3.

I'm actually interested in quite a few cards this time around... because I'm unhappy with the Green section in the Capitalism Cube. Alloy Animist Citanul Stalwart Teething Wurmlet Sarinth Steelseeker Fade from History I'm also interested in a few cards in other colors as well for that cube...

Considering how they handled old-border planeswalkers...

Recommission is pretty sweet, isn't it? I like that they're pushing Tiny Reanimator in colors other than Black. This is an interesting board wipe. I'm not sure how functional it is, outside of multiplayer, but it's certainly interesting.

You know what could be really cool? A format where "Hostile Negotiations" is part of determining your opening hand.

That's actually why I called it "aggro" and not aggro — to me, a big part of two (non-combo) decks "belonging" to the same archetype is that you can sorta jam the decks together and have the result still belong to that archetype. White, Red, and Black aggro have very similar gameplans, so you...

I like it — I feel like it's going to usually be "Mother Bear + Strength of the Pack", and that's a perfectly acceptable card.

If nothing else it gives you an artifact token? And you only lose a Powerstone if it dies? EDIT: This is a nice boyo. It's not necessarily a powerful boyo, but it's a nice boyo.

Legit question: do you want to stick to just the "big three", or do you also want to support stuff like tempo aggro-control disruptive decks? Because blue "aggro" has a strong tendency to actually be curiosity.dec or ninja.dec, which doesn't really play the same way (or want the same cards as)...

Kaito is honestly less interesting than it looks. A lot of times it boils down to just being an unblockable saboteur, which isn't broken or anything... it's just not really worth the extra overhead involved in it being a planeswalker.

Bushwhack - {G} Sorcery Choose one: • Search your library for a basic land card. Reveal it, put it into your hand, and then shuffle. • Target creature you control fights target creature you don't control. Compare: Khalni Ambush

It's a 2/3 for {1}{G} that can make a 6/6 with Haste for {3}{G}{G}... or it's a 5/5 for {5} that can make a 15/15 with Haste for {3}{G}{G}. Is a 15/15 with haste worth {8}{G}{G}? I kinda think it is.

Behold, a hidden reanimator archetype! Fatal Frenzy
