New Zombies: Lazotep Reaver vs Vizier of the Scorpion Is giving all zombie tokens death touch worth an extra point of mana and one less toughness? Is a potentially repeatable 1/1 deathtouch too annoying to fight through? Is 1B for a 1/1 and a 1/2 too low impact? This is on the assumption...

LSV said something interesting about the planeswalkers on the Limited Resources first impressions show: many of the walkers, especially at uncommon, have abilities that let your opponent cast their cards but then the cards don't work. Narset and The Wanderer are the two main culprits I can...

I've been running for a bit, with some other artifact aggro cards, and it's been pretty good. The existence of Hangarback Walker and Walking Ballista go a long way to making it playable. Obviously you still need to have a bunch of artifacts for it to do anything. For the EDH vs D&D argument...

Because Chandra and Jaya are best buds and their full potential can only be unlocked via the power of friendship.

Any thoughts on Deliver Unto Evil as another semi-gifts? Would having this card indicate that you definitely have Bolas somewhere in your cube to drafters?

Two cube drafts yesterday, my friend's pauper cube and then my cube. Here's a couple of decks (from memory, the orzhov deck is a couple of cards short) Ones 1 Booster Tutor 1 Duress Twos 1 Impassioned Orator 1 Vampire Interloper 1 Kami of Ancient Law 1 Rakdos Signet 1 Orzhov Signet 1 Grim...

McDonalds vs Burger King is not one I expected to pop up in fight club!

For some reason when I first saw Dreadhorde Arcanist I thought it was a 3 drop. I'm much more interested now.

A couple of general thoughts about the set:- - Having an Army mechanic that makes one big creature instead of lots of little ones is very strange - This seems like the perfect set for Afflict as it both fits into the lore, and creates actual decisions when a lot of the time you'll be blocking...

What's with that new wording? To prevent you from having to reveal the card? It seems a bit convoluted.

Finally, my nemesis reveals themselves.

Does it have to be any permanent? Crystal Shard or Erratic Portal might be options otherwise.

I'd probably draft as normal but maybe take more expensive cards a little bit earlier, and build as normal with a view to do some heavy sideboarding between games 2 and 3.

I like the idea of changing the flavour of Index to scouting.

I've seen people saying this is Mu Yanling from the Global Series product, although as far as I can see they don't look anything alike.

I haven't played it but Codex from Sirlin Games looks pretty close to a "Magic deckbuilder" - you start off with a small simple deck and a binder of all your options to include, and add cards to your deck every round to "program" it into matching up better against your opponent.

I found this video on synergies in Slay the Spire interesting: Particularly the parts about synergies making players feel powerful and smart, and that they should require some planning and thought to put together, seemed like they might be applicable to cube design.

As long as it shrinks by modern getting better and not legacy getting worse.

Interesting article from Jeff Cunningham here: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=15140&writer=Jeff%20Cunningham&articledate=2-27-2019&fbclID=IwAR2igcImIAVFq6K9qYDU63L0O2qKlzYFumIXGf3afb-os6hCqeL9lRpEsfg It's a tournament report-cum-musing on the history of the game. Long but worth...

Do you think an 8 supported colour combination format would work? I feel like they were going for that in Ixalan (BW Vamps, UG Fish, GW/RW/RG Dinos, BR/UB/UR Pirates) but it didn't really work. Is there a structure which might?
