What's the deal with set names? The summer core set is 2015? But the winter multiplayer product is 2014? What year is it?!?! [/seinfeld]

Yeah, 5-CMC Elspeth does a very similar thing. But I mostly just don't care about board-spammers, to nobody's surprise.

Ahhhhh! Raid is such a cool mechanic! Do you think they'll do a tension raid-haste card? But when I see it I'm reminded of cockroach commercials.

Most of these were in my cube at one point in time, and none of them are in there currently. I do bring in Batterskull from time to time though. I always wish Vexing Devil were there but I can't quite pull the trigger.

Not quite... I said 1 life, not "that much life".

Yeah, a lot actually. If you cast Raid Bombardment, but pay an extra :r:, you get a 3/3 creature with haste!

I have the Cloudpost package in my utility land draft. Also, lots of utility lands.

Scapeshift Is there something here?

Yeah, lifegain theme definitely has less oomph to it than sac-theme. It would be fine if Pridemate were a bit better by default and needed less support. But there's not a very wide range there. Like, if it were a 3/2 or something. Or if there were other cards with incidental lifegain riders...

Roughly ordered within group by power level. Broken: (so dumb I don't include them) Jace, Memory Adept Elspeth, Knight-Errant Top: (likely first-picks) Gideon Jura Koth of the Hammer Jace, the Mind Sculptor Ajani Vengeant Karn Liberated High: Ajani Goldmane Garruk Wildspeaker Liliana...

There are lots of things that are dangerous to power out early for free. Early Gideon into anything is pretty backbreaking.

He can be, but he's generally pretty underwhelming / sets yourself up for blowouts. Unless you're sac'ing something that comes back, usually you're paying 3 mana to add like 2 power to the board.

Yes, but these techy things quickly become pretty dumb when you start seeing them week after week, despite their initial allure.

Other games have you bidding resources for starting. Maybe being on the draw could grant you a slightly higher life total. Something in the 21-22 range.

What if you dealt yourself a 7-card hand and a 6-card hand?

Store credit can only be given in multiples of $25. Unless you're buying all the fetchlands twice I can cover you. If anybody wants to make an order send me a PM and we'll iron out details there.

Hey, I could give you some spiel about how servers cost money and shit, but I'm just looking to liquidate some store-credit into cold-hard paypal funds. Anybody want to help? Here's what I'd offer: Selling credit for 90% of face value, in $25 increments. If you want to give more than 90% then...

Hence the title.

Yeah, I meant the theory more than the particular implementation. The set design notes said they were supposed to be "stronger individually" this time around.

I like the M15 approach of having low sliver density and high-power individual Slivers. Incidental tribal is best tribal.
