Flash Flying When Angel of Dire Hour ETBs, if you cast it from your hand exile all attacking dudes Brutal, m8

Mark doesn't like it, as 6 flying power in green, which is supposed to be the worst color at it. He said they 'snuck it in' to the m15 file when he was done with it. And slapping in a reprint is pretty different than a new design for them- new cards get flashed around and tested endlessly (in...

I'm assuming by "that" you mean "because rosewater didn't get a say," and while you'd be right about three years ago (or whenever), Mark has said he wouldn't let it happen again in the future, which is now. His current stance on things like the worm (master of waves, specifically) is "blue is...

Maybe not in this instance specifically, but he's the head of the color pie police and Head Designer of mtg altogether. It's not like he isn't allowed to say anything, and he's been very vocal about stopping cards like chaos warp from ever getting printed again, so I'm sure he gave the file a...

Bonesplitter and pals make anything an aggro deck would play (besides mom and lavamancer I guess) ferocious. Four power is not difficult to achieve, just kinda hard to keep around when you're turning it sideways.

Becuz worm fish into whale into leviathan is funnier than saproling into beast into wurm into... behemoth?? I honestly think there is simply no blue filter at wizards. MaRo and others are there policing red and black as hard as they can, but everything is essentially in blue so let it do...

Interesting that Ob nob's planeswalker type is "Nixilis." Both are extremely commander-centered. Still praying on red here.

What gives you the most trouble? Having to tap low/out for your sorcery removal then losing to haste / stormbreath activations? I've never lost to a singing bell strike in limited so I just kind of assumed the card was bad, but plenty of decks don't want to make it to six mana, and if they...

That flavor text is either sad or insane. As a card it's pretty neat that you don't exile the card in your graveyard, but 1RR to cast and 3 to activate every turn is kind of a bummer. Looking forward to interesting planeswalkers that aren't too commander-centered. As someone who dislikes...

Hushwing Gryf to the rescue! I've been having mild success with esper control. Haven't lost a single game to midrange in four different five-rounders.

I still hate morph. Not because it's bad, but because it's a heavy-handed way to "fix" the 3-color problem and its actual gameplay is so random. Draft format's still neat on its own though.

I don't know if this is very useful or not but I decided to not try to stick to an archetype and do what the monkeys around here did when my cube was very gold: Pick a land when possible, slam value, removal, and bombs if there are none: Twos 1 Debilitating Injury 1 Wall of Omens 1 Snapcaster...

I didn't actually watch every game myself but a friend of mine posted about every game in the top 8 up to the finals was won by the person on the play. Watching the five or six rounds I managed did not leave me very impressed with this meta. Oh well.

This is actually what I meant by kamigawa-style flips. The examples you showed have them both facing the same way, though. I think you're thinking of loyal cathar, which I also like but my WW love-slot is currently held by precinct captain, who I like a whole awful lot. Daybreak ranger is...

How have people been liking the khans cards? I think only taigam's scheming and the bow I figured wouldn't work out have been misses, but everything else I've tried has been great, and my players are clamoring for more. The more I watch delve cards in play in retail limited and standard the...

This one always seemed fine to me. Granted I don't watch much legacy coverage but if they actually cover the checklist with the delver what's the problem? Or do they leave the checklist vertical when they turn delver sideways? That sounds gross.

The slime is neat, I clearly remembered getting murdered by it after turn 4 bombardment + blood artist.

So how do you guys implement transform cards? Do you just have them in the cube and make your players unsleeve to flip it? Do you run the placeholder cards and have the real cards with your tokens? Have proxies that flip kamigawa style? I've seen all three and while I've forced transform out of...
