    Card/Deck Shit Thread: Planeswalker Tier List

    Ajani is "fixed" Ajani Goldmane; his + plays kind of like a moving aura, you can put it on some not-so-great guy to make your opponent hesitate with their removal. If big lifegain bothers you / messes with your games too easily I'd skip him, but if you don't mind it / you want big life total...

    Card/Deck Token/Sacrifice themes in Red

    Unfortunately I am surrounded by the IF IT ISN'T SINGLETON IT ISN'T CUBE crowd and I do still want to play. Thromok the insatiable, clearly. EDIT: Is it just me or can this guy be really really big on turn 3: Thunder-Thrash Elder

    Card/Deck Token/Sacrifice themes in Red

    Not to re-rail this thread or anything but does no one feel like pretty much every sac outlet except goblin bombardment is just clunky? The rest... function... but only bomb-daddy itself allows the smoothest plays; it's just so much better etc. etc. I can't get my drafters to use anything else.

    General Fixing Mulligans, Improving Games

    I know what the card is supposed to do but one of my drafters decided to argue that if this card was a thing then that player had two separate "hand" zones, one of them just got shuffled away, so he would reveal his "empty" hand to his opponent for those types of abilities. Hurr. A local rule...

    I don't find it any more miserable than any of the other token "lords." As a seven I think it should have some leeway, but I hate myr battlesphere (the card, the concept it cute).

    General Where did you start with cube?

    Playing the local cube around 2009 got me wanting to play a cube without all the really powerful cards I dislike (recurring nightmare, swords of x & y) so I just built my own list from scratch using what I could remember from his as a baseline, with no real guideline or design philosophies...

    I believe the reason given during the pro tour's 'color spotlight' things was "we needed a green rare... and I was like "hornet queen" because I have this reputation for suggesting really goofy reprints... and everyone just stared at me. So we printed hornet queen." Wizards at its best. I...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Enchanted creature can't block, enchanted planeswalker can't have counters placed on it? Or enchanted permanent can't have counters placed on it in a set where +1/+1 counters or something matter. wording reference I feel like the mono-black version should already be a card, but I can't find it..

    General Need Help with the Design Skeleton of a Cube.

    I had to look up what you meant by 'dragon cube.' If you want something just under the level of a powerful cube you're not going to be able to rare-lock (make "true" packs based on rarity), you're going to end up with a peasant cube that has a sprinkling of rares, which is a far FAR cry from...

    General Jitte and assorted GRBS, P1P1, etc.

    I mean sure, I've played my fair share of the 5-land thragtusk plan (and lost to it, sigh...) to know it isn't the end-all be-all or anything, but if you have even some amount of board presence against a fairly aggressive deck (walls, cycling guys?) and drop thragtusk three turns in a row off...

    General Jitte and assorted GRBS, P1P1, etc.

    I just think thragtusk is such a GOOD LUCK, NERD card and enough decks struggle to fight through that it's just not worth having, much less anyone doing anything grotesque like flickering or reanimating it.

    General Need Help with the Design Skeleton of a Cube.

    Personally this is what I dislike the most about your plan, the sorting required pre and post event sounds like a real pain. HOWEVER if your goal is to accurately simulate the true 'limited' environment as closely as possible then I think it's kind of a necessary evil. I also think having to...

    This is why I don't like it- planeswalkers that fog the crap out of your opponent are insane, mechanically, and the types I hate the most. I don't know if this is sarcasm or what

    I have no idea. Hookmaster always managed to fall off my radar instantly after coming onto it, since I don't write things down and don't have a smartphone. It was just easy to go "man o war is good so this must be at least kind of good right" and it's fine. Honestly the Jace is in because my...

    Now that it's been a few weeks can we get some test findings? Chasm skulker has actually been incredibly annoying, I got blown out by a young pyromancer-chasm skulker-many cantrips-goblin bombardment line the other night. I thought wake thrasher was absurd but this is getting there. Frost...

    There are a fair amount of vanilla/french vanilla morph guys that don't do anything, like ascending aven, spined basher and charging slateback. (I'm assuming by "face-up effect" you mean "when x is turned face-up do y," if you just mean they have some advantage a 2/2 doesn't have then you got...
