    General Planeswalker Density

    I used to jam planeswalkers hard, but after playing for a few more years I've converted to team "I hate planeswalkers" so I limit them to those you have to build around or have trouble defending themselves, mostly. Too often they swoop in and steal games completely out from under their opponent...

    I don't like that the add a pack guy is rare and the eat a pack guy is uncommon. Seems loose. But yeah, sometimes I get a pack with everything my deck needs after it full-tables, and I would totally blow this guy on a pack like that.

    General Color matters / devotion

    Gods are largely miserable as devotion-matters cards. If they're "active" they're likely win-more. There are a few cards with good effects that happen to have "devotion" as the keyword, but they are relatively few and far between. The mechanic itself has merit as a way to encourage heavily...

    I'd debate how playable the +1/+1 counter conspiracy card is. Having to name your card ahead of time is really clunky. I actually hate the game becoming a physical chore beyond reading cards. Flip cards were a slight stretch, two-faced cards were over the line for me. I'll consider...

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    Paladin wheeling one of the WX cards because apparently creatures in this list are small/small and double strike can deal ten million damage with very little pump. If it's just a weird coincidence that all of these strong creatures are 2/2s and there is fat abound more likely wrath.

    General Cute interactions

    Creatures are on the battlefield, they're not "creatures" while they're in the graveyard, they're "creature cards." Right? If you target like 3 guys with profane command it does give you +3 cmc though.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I don't like it because typically when red's guys get blocked they're dead. If that isn't always the case there's probably some kind of room for him. He competes with pyreheart wolf the most IMO.

    Article Journey to Nyx: Cube Review

    I don't like it. I never want my opponent drawing cards. Every Jace B. +2 is given grudgingly, and only because I know I'm eventually getting / already got more cards than them. Every time you activate this you are putting your opponent 1 card deeper into their deck. This is how it has...

    General I Want to Believe // A Question of Red // Is the Rosewater Real?

    Well it wasn't exactly bottled cloister, that's just the easiest way to describe it in other-card terms. It was one ability. As far as this 'give red other stuff' thing wizards is trying, I've got low hopes. They'll give us some variant of a card that already exists and pretend it's part of...

    General I Want to Believe // A Question of Red // Is the Rosewater Real?

    But what ARE other colors' effects? Draw cards? Flying? Being big/trampling? Destroy target creature/discard? Everything is tacked into a punisher/choice mechanic or is a planar chaos card. Browbeat Breaking Point Brute Force Stingscourger Mentioning discard reminded me of a "{1}{R}...

    General How many Scry is worth a card?

    How about a different question then: What if one of the modes that wasn't counter/draw on cryptic command was scry x? How deep would it have to be for people to choose scry over draw? If it's two, and you bottom one, you're in the same "draw location" (your draw order? something) as if you'd...

    General How many Scry is worth a card?

    Disagree, putting some awful card / your 14th land on bottom is still good. The game doesn't end when you find something you want, yo. I was introduced to scry around the time I got out of the pool of calculations and just started riding my gut on both card and play evaluation (see: "bad")...

    General I Want to Believe // A Question of Red // Is the Rosewater Real?

    The problem is a lot of the game's mechanics already exist as 'temporary' effects in other ways/in red. Temporary draw is already being done. +/+ already exists in regular combat trick/buff cards. -/- already exists in burn / subtracting power is already in both blue and black as temporary and...

    It would be nice for them in conspiracy so the new printing of them doesn't have the god-awful new frame... conspiracy is the last set to not have it.
