Looks fine on a first read. I don't think it'll do to your cube what Godsend did to JOU draft, and it's no Sword of Fire and Ice, Light and Shadow, or Impossible Combat and No Fun

I'm pretty high on Loamcrafter Faun and will probably end up adding the card. 1: I run Life from the Loam and holy shit that's sick. 2: Holding lands once you're able to cast your top end to bluff interaction is pretty normal in UG Tempo and even some RG or BG aggro decks. This guy turns that...

Cube Update! So, it's been a hot minute since I've updated y'all about the state of the Ana Grid. Let's have a quick catch-up. In the last nine months we've gotten... some... reps in with the list. More than my main cube, less than I'd like. Still been more than enough to discover some things...

My usual extreme antipathy towards Universes Beyond does not, for the first time, affect my opinions of these tokens. The LoTR ones at least - the Doctor Who references are very on the nose and drag me out of the "Magic" mindset even if I like the jelly baby art. I'm a fan of the Eldraine basket...

Man an updated GRBS thread for everthing that's been printed since 2019 would be so cathartic. Massive flamebait though, so maybe not a great idea :P

Very spicy. It's a shame they're undertuned and that the white one is the weakest of the cycle - Even a conditional "Inspired Charge" aura would be so much better than "Glorious Charge"

While I usually prefer the haste, I think I'd go to Initiate first. Better types on the card and the token, carries equipment better, threatens Savannah Lions, trades with Thalias. Haste is sweet off the top, but I don't think that tiny improvement as a topdeck makes me happy to see it over a...

"Teysa, Karlov Matriarch", "Teysa, Grand Envoy", "Teysa, Speaker for the Dead", "Teysa, Orzhov Oligarch"

Gaea's Blessing was the first one I found when paging through my boxes for initial ideas :P That said you're entirely right and I'll make the swap - cards in hand do clog more than I expected. I know I have exactly one copy of Dwell in the Past but have no idea where my box of Guay singles is...

I was not expecting to get enthusiastic about this set but I am legitimately considering getting a box to draft with my SO and some of their MtG playing friends. Just like OG Eldraine, has the mechanical complexity at a level where it's interesting without being punishing and is hitting it out...

It's fun as a mental puzzle as-is, but could be more exciting and replayable, so going to see if increasing variance is an improvement or not :D As it is, it's really easy to get perfect information, which has made us try to play around every card the opponent has and set the goal to sculpting...

I think a better/more concise wording would be: "At the beginning of combat on your turn, for each black mana symbol in spells you've cast this turn, choose one that hasn't been chosen this turn: • Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. • Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn. •...

I really like this suggestion. Its not that gold cards are against the design rules, more that every time I include gold cards in anything I feel compelled to make my inclusions symmetrical :P Based on how the current list has played so far I'm planning on removing all creatures except the...

I really like the concept for Library Things! I was reading your rules ideas for it and was thinking that if you wanted to go full boardgame, you could go really simple and just track either player life or "damage to other players" as the score, game ends when shared deck runs out - winner is...

Normally I go for the RTR shocks for how vibrant they are (Plus they're the set I have in foil), but for Watery Grave I think Raymond Swanland comes in 3rd. Usually for Swanland I'd expect that to be from being overexposed to his art and how samey his works can get (I like a fair few of his...

I think I love this. I really love drafting, but it eats so much time. This moves many of the elements I love in that kind of interaction into the game itself. So many cool things to do with the ruleset too! Kitesail Freebooter is sick as hell here! I think I'm going to make a list for this game.

Did a little testing and had a chat with my partner about the list, and they've really helped sort out the concept in my head and put away some of my excessively fiddly concerns. Takeaway was, more creatures are okay as blockers due to the Wumpus' Trample, that lets me run ways of interacting...

Hunt the Wumpus Cube Size: 21 Players: 2 Concept: Hunt the Wumpus is a two-player Magic minigame you just shuffle up and play. The goal is to find, resolve, and then swing with the single copy of Shivan Wumpus to instantly win the game. Rules: Other than the following, it's a normal...

EZ OG for me too, same reasons as Zee. I think rank order is same as print order TBH. That said, I do like that when the Secret Lair prints go for something unique even if I'm not a fan of the result - it's absolutely the place for it.

Premise: The rest of Magic exists as an extensive on-ramp to casual custom formats as far from Wizards ecosystems as possible. Kitchen Table - > Casual custom formats -> Standard/Limited/FNM-tier -> Higher level competition -> Casual custom format. You will note that more than half the graph...
