I know people who think this lil guy is a trap, and just a Flying Men with less relevant types. He's really not. Sure, he's no Tombstalker, but he does a pretty good impression while also actually being a t1 play!

I would love a Surveil Preordain and Curator of Mysteries (Maybe upgrading to surveil 2 as well to make it an absolute engine?). It'd make Sphinx of Foresight a lot more appealing, as well. And Cryptic Annelid, but probably only to me :P And while I'm at it, would it have killed them to have...

So you never get a 4th land, only way to make big mana plays is saving up treasure tokens? Sounds interesting, and a fun exercise to build and play. Disproportionately supports a Workshop Weenie style deck (Colourless threats, equipment, splash for activated abilities like Bomat or Scrounger) or...

Highly recommend Utopia (2013). British conspiracy thriller, only 12 episodes over 2 seasons, but that just means it's very tightly put together. Beautiful palette and colours in the cinematography, makes the whole thing feel like an indie comic book - which totally suits the tone. Not a fun...

Nope I mean Eternal. Got my old scourge foil, still in NM condition 'cause that bad boy is gorgeous. I mean, I have Timeless in the cube as well, but Eternal does good work in Slide just like he used to.

The only one I'd really recommend thinking hard about is Precursor Golem - it's just way too swingy. Try it, get one or two cool stories of huge plays or massive blowouts, then take it out is my advice :P

If Eternal Dragon is ever too weak for my cube, I'm going back to the drawing board in a big way :P

I know this is going to sound really trite and condescending, but it's not intended that way. 1: Smarter mulligans - people keep shit hands sometimes. 2: Think about your manabase when you build the deck. 3: Is there sufficient density of card draw or virtual card draw in the cube - ways of...

I think I would have to see all the homelands before I had any valid thoughts on the concept - the deckbuilding restriction to run 18 lands and needing that extra colourless source seems to put it in the camp of midrange and control rather than supporting the aggro decks that top out at 3 mana...

Foolish to think it can't :P

After some failed experiments with errata-ing cards, not going there again. People who have played with cards remember how they work, and rather than solving an aesthetic problem, you've created a gameplay one where muscle-memory and familiarity screws with your players rather than supporting...

I did the Golem == Construct and Ally == Rebel thing for a while. Both of them caused memory/familiarity issues, which I'm sure would get better with reps or even just alters, but my players were pretty used to some of these cards and making the change did have people going "Oh, wait, no this is...

I don't know if squeaky clean paragon of virtue is how I'd characterize MHW devs or Minecraft devs either, but it's a hell of a lot nicer to be on the receiving end of generosity stemming from rational self-interest rather than naked greed coming from the same. They're also doing a bit for...

Seconded on the Auriok Salvagers. Scrapyard Recombiner is another very good friend with Scrap Trawler - at least, they get along very well indeed in my list. I don't run Ravager (Which is sadly a Beast not a Construct), but I assume they would get along too. Hangarback Walker, Containment...

On the topic of environments that are full of discard-triggers and are glacially slow: Tectonic Reformation Easy to overlook, as the "red do-nothing enchantment" slot is pretty crowded in the discard-matters area - Molten Vortex, Lightning Rift, Seismic Assault, Curse of Chaos, or if you're...

Yeah Pyromancer is nuts. I like Pia and Kiraan because they're good where you want them, great sometimes, but not an autoinclude in "Deck that can get to {R}{R}" - plus I love Siege-Gang "Go wide, give reach" top ends for red decks that just need to get the last few points of damage in. OTOH...

Cemetery Protector, Sigarda's Vanguard and Phantom Steed are some spicy includes for bant flash. How are you finding Jolrael? I have a really high density of cycling and she just wasn't doing all that much for me. You also look like you're juuust at the threshold of self-mill and creatures that...

As like Julie Dillon is another one I'd totally missed due to small sample size, but I love that Thought Scour and her Breya is gorgeous too - I suspect my partner will want to replace all their Deathbringer Liege's too now :P I'd thought about Hynninen, but she only has STA cards so far, and...

To be fair though, Eclipse Phase was also the better game

Not all her works are amazing, but I'm a big fan of Burmak's rendition of Zegana, and Practical Insight makes me feel the same way as Nielsens FoF. And now there's Extinguish the Light, too. That said, you are entirely correct on changing the list for Sam Guay - I've never seen their work...
