    Sets Return to Ravnica Block Retrospective

    Yeah, it didn't prop up any archetypes on its lonesome, but it has plenty of great cards that fit in a lot of decks on top of a few cards for archetypes that other blocks really support hard. I think that while innistrad had plenty of great cards it was nowhere near RTR in scope. So much great...

    General "Draw a card."

    Here's some, I guess: Repulse Sea Gate Oracle Pelakka Wurm Court Hussar Carven Caryatid wall of blossoms Masked Admirers Phyrexian Rager Wistful Selkie Mentor of the Meek Does curiosity count? Hystrodon Ohran Viper cold-eyed selkie A number of them are even big-butt blockers! How about that.

    General How do YOU plan to use the various Conspiracy cards?

    Someone educate me on how Paliano is interesting. You have to literally announce one of the colors you are drafting when you take it.

    General Fight Club

    Power matrix was actually pretty good for me. Flying is a big word 'round these parts. Makes blocking and attacking pretty awkward for your opponent; they don't get the "kill your equipped guy, then combat stuff" tempo against power matrix. But you can only use it once/"round" of course.

    General How do YOU plan to use the various Conspiracy cards?

    My players are consistently too derp / too cheaty to use freaking coldsteel heart. "Remember x number" and hidden agenda cards are right out the window for me. Advantageous Proclamation to let decks be more focused / archetypes less punishing for 'missing' on too many picks. Power Play...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I don't see how a green fatty that can connect through a 1/1 is so bad compared to the flying finishers literally every other color gets. I'd much rather have a 5/5 or even 4/4 flier than a 7/7 nothing on the ground quite often. Maybe in the mythical world of old magic, where creatures took...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Neat green cards are probably made, then neutered over and over again into near-uselessness. I've been Theros block drafting a few times in the last couple weeks and the number of times nessian wilds ravager and heroes' bane were absolutely massive but just could not connect and that loses the...

    I don't really want to cut things that can screw with lands to enable karoos is all. Riftwing Cloudskate Venser, Shaper Savant Cryptic Command primal command Acidic Slime Tamiyo, the moon sage Ajani Vengeant These are all powerful and interesting cards that happen to screw with lands. If...

    Spellbound dragon discarding seize the day, casting it, then cruel ultimatum off the second loot for the exact 21. Don't remember what the 1 was from. Including artifacts and gold, but not lands, I've got 63% creatures.

    Card/Deck Green 5-drops

    Thragtusk is such a powerful effect for an easy splash. You don't have to work for any of that nonsense. Indrik stomphowler is also an option if you want to cut back on land D / you want your disenchant guy to be large and in charge instead of the size of a one-drop.

    General Planeswalker Density

    Do these folks really not stifle too many games for you? In my experience they've been extremely powerful, and nigh-unstoppable after the untap. Something as simple as an unsummon keeping a walker safe until the untap is often the actual clincher, though. As a side-note my LGS put up a...

    My two cents is that bounce lands are fine in an environment with very little, if any boomerangs or land D. It's just much easier to cut the lands and play one of the other thousand cycles of fixing lands than to restrict the other, more interesting effects. Assuming you're still on the...

    Ey mang don't hate on the new titans! I like how they went from "etb trigger so when your mythic gets Dbladed you don't feel so bad" to "when your mythic gets Dbladed you can still use it!" Mildly curious what the other colors will do after seeing how boring green's is vs. the devotiondomain...

    So in 1v1, if you just play this on 3 with no nonlands your opponent has to exile something they control? That's extremely gross. If you don't support permission it can be a little miserable though, you always two-for-one yourself.

    I actually didn't notice that he's a base 2/2 at first. That's pretty sweet. His ability IS extremely powerful, though. Not having color requirements is absurd, and it can make some real spontaneous nightmares out of nowhere. Casting him at {2}{R}{B} in an aggro deck pretty much nullifies...
