It's mostly that it's completely unnecessary to further support blue. I'm not increasing its spell density, it still has 50 just like every other color. All I'm doing is replacing some of the filler (Ponder, Preordain, whatever) with Brainstorms. One of the challenges I've always faced with Blue...

I shamelessly like this relevantly named song:

CML has always made spurious "data backed" claims re: the advantage of being on the play or on the draw, and I never really engaged them, but this comment from a CFB article is pretty relevant: I'm still pretty skeptical of these data collection things, particularly when the output produces...

Valakut is a pretty interesting card and I've thought about tossing it into my Utility Land Draft pile before. The key is creating an environment where the components are potentially useful (read: maindeckable, not have niche gamestate applications while never making a final 40) without the full...

Uh, I have never seen anything like this...

Behold the megacard. EDIT: also this thing looks like balls. I liked my version way better in the custom card forum.

This is a good comparison.

I know this card is kind of whateverland, but this formatting is super unintuitive to me. You have to tap it once for a useless activation? Better to have it ETB tapped.

I knew this was coming.

When I watch streams it seems like the games are often devoid of tension or meaningful decision points. I think part of that may be the fact that damage carries over across turns. Makes the gameplay more incremental. The "never missing land-drops" bit also takes away from tension and makes the...

Mana is quite difficult in this format. I'm open to suggestions of course, but that kind of comes with the territory of two-player drafting. They lean towards "good stuff, bad mana", but from my experience you can pull off fewer colors in Grid than in other formats. I was able to build my pool...

Depends on how many Sphinx's Revs you are firing off.

I built my deck and have a transformational sideboard planned, so, beware.

If this was a forced counter and added one of any color instead of X (just one mana, not X of any color) it'd be a printable City of Brass variant.

There is still this idea available for the making. I would work on it more but we never have enough testers around.

I imagine anyone who wanted it would want Spell Pierce first (by a wide margin) and a lot of cubes don't even run that card (even though it's totally sweet).

Let me know when someone blows out a Cascade card.

Mana Tithe no question.

The amount of redundancy needed to make the Storm deck "kinda work" in Vintage Masters is insane.
