If it weren't for the fact that I'd be promoting proxies on CFB I'd write a whole article on this. I think we're dealing with real differences in kind here. Real cards -> proxies is a difference in aesthetics. Real cards -> made up cards is a difference in design. I only have so much...

uh...?

It's also out of action for a long long time. And has no evasion. Seems like a super bad Vorapede.

Re: proxies, I find that you don't actually notice when you are drafting / playing with them. I notice when I sit around and just look at my cube, but when I'm trying to think strategically it never crosses my mind that my Volcanic Island or whatever is a fake. It helps that I have super...

I will just say, I didn't really start designing until I removed cost as a constraint in my cube. I was never experimenting because I spent so much time just trying to acquire certain cards. I'm not going to say it's 1000x better, but my cubing experience is so much better now that the cards I...

I think I would have agreed in the pre Utility Land Draft days. Now I value Prime Time much higher.

Pssh... real men cast Messenger off of a swamp and a colorless land. Gravecrawler Phyrexian Tower Geralf's Messenger

That'd be some mana base...

I dunno, Sun Titan usually isn't wrecking the game by pulling things out of the graveyard. Unless you've built for that. Getting back a Liliana or that artifact murderbomb is pretty fun.

Hmm, I think this is pretty close, but I might swap Frost and Sun.

Sadface. It's probably my #1 "go into green" card and having it completely changes how I draft my deck and lands.

All men must die. Every game must end. I feel a LOT better about games ended by Spell Pierce than Stone Rain.

Justify not running Primeval Titan.

Make a Swarmyard thread.

Quirion Dryad is so week that it's not remotely worth building around. Especially when cards like Tarmogoyf and Scavenging Ooze just take a giant shit on it without any effort.

I would, say, include Arbor Elf and O.G. Garruk as support for the theme, but probably not much more than that. Do we have a thread on land untaps? Anyone care to make one? It's a potentially fun and easy subtheme.

Whatever, we're talking about it here. Teeg wheels exclusively to the GW little kid player. Nobody goes into the colors for the card. But then sometimes is just creates these fun Magical puzzle gamestates where the other player has to figure out how to maneuver without using the 4 CMC cards...

Uh, they're not super related but I think something like Gattock Teeg has a much bigger board impact. I also prefer the other RR drops I think. Like the RTR Hasty First-Striker, or, um, Kargan Dragonlord? But to be honest I've never played with this dude. I don't think I currently run any CC...

I've been pretty (read: extremely) lax about moderating things on this site, but you guys can let me know if you feel that needs to change.

I run Duress and when I put it in my sideboard I seem to bring it in every game.
