    Pretty cute that they brought back the same artist and made the art so similar, where Drana looks super-different from her old style. Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet Tribal sacrifice makes him slightly narrow, but being an engine himself is good- punished for chump-blocking! I feel like he either...

    I have mixed feelings about the Chandra. The 0 is great, no argument there! Super-sweet and definitely the power level I expect from a 6-cmc walker. Her ability to wipe the board is... questionable. Only being able to pop for 3 (and live) when she comes down feels awfully weak for 6-cmc...

    4 mana for 4 damage seems about right for a dual manland. Double-striking 2/1 is odd, though. Super-fragile. I guess they didn't want it blocking too well, but trading with a 2/3 is balls.

    General going deep

    Maelstrom Nexus Has been in since my cube's inception and is never coming out, no matter how often my players go "really, man?" One of the them ALWAYS tries to play it.

    It's from the duel deck- geist of st. traft vs. this demon dude. Last translation I saw was something like this: Flying, Trample When ~ ETBs (might be cast), mill 4. At the beginning of your upkeep, if you don't have at least four card types in your graveyard, lose four life. Not very...

    Just 3-0/6-0'd and double-split into top eight of my local modern tournament with skred. First round of top 8 I got my teeth kicked in by burn as he played two goblin guides across all three games and just burned me out otherwise- I was woefully unprepared for just spell-based burn and now I...

    I was thinking more Kederekt Leviathan First time meeting a real "johnny" player he was playing RUG mass polymorph with this thing and siege-gang commander, stacking the triggers so the board is emptied but he has a ton of goblins.

    Well... here's a new mechanic. I forgot two-headed giant was a 'supported format' by this set.

    Also kozilek confirmed etc. Some other confirmed stuff: <> is the new 'colorless produced' symbol in magic. Sol ring now taps for <><>, etc. <> cannot be added by birds of paradise/city of brass and so on, since it has no color. Wastes has two arts and is packaged as a common, not a basic...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've been running graveblade marauder a bit- he ends up being more of an aggro stonewall than anything else. People hate removing it because it isn't very threatening, but deathtouch that isn't likely dying is a real headache- see ophiomancer. Feels more like one of those control cards that...

    General I just play it for the flavour text, I swear!

    Fair. Pretty much any quote flavor text would be better without the quote baggage. I just always thought it was good for what the card does paired with the set it was printed in (ROE). You can get a mild chuckle that Gideon is also referring to himself, though we didn't really know what his...

    General Fighting Disappointment: Lets fix some cards that were almost sweet

    I mean there are plenty of reasons for them to have a hard floor and a hard ceiling on these cards, but let's get real: They'd be more fun without either.

    General Fighting Disappointment: Lets fix some cards that were almost sweet

    What if... converge cards had {X} instead of the generic mana in their costs? Painful truths Woodland Wanderer Exert Influence Bring to Light 3/3 vigilance, trample for {R}{G}? Steal a 2/x for {B}{U}?

    General Fight Club

    Caller just feels like it has more play, after diddling with them both for a while. Steadfast would let a midrange player pull away from an aggro opponent or break board stalls, but in aggro decks he was a 4-mana anthem and any activation beyond that was pretty negligible. Caller lets aggro...

    Isn't this just barry's land, without a type? They were so focused on making it increase domain (since that was Barry's original, y'know, DEAL) that they let themselves get stonewalled by the most modern issues around Alara time. Even more recently, casual Commander players started crying about...
