Someone pointed Forge Magic out to me. I started my random (modern) card collection with a Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. Nice!

Excellent. I don't mind it much myself, but when both my players and you guys hate the card, I must be wrong :) I already run Sower of Temptation and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, so there are more steal effects in there. I really, really like steal effects, maybe that's why my judgement is off...

Treachery People are complaining this card is unfair and I should run Control Magic instead. Opinions?

Holy crap. (I'ld elaborate, but clearly this is an insane idea you should go ahead with. What could possibly go wrong? :D) Sterling Grove Fires of Yavimaya Angelic Shield Seal of Cleansing Seal of Fire Beastmaster Ascension Day of Destiny Flowstone Surge Honor of the Pure Parapet Asceticism...

It's not in my cube, that's for sure. (Crater Hellion takes the six mana sweeper spot :)). Red provides great support for the human tribe. Red provides great support for the sacrifice theme. Red provides (certainly since commander 2014) great support for artifacts matter theme. Red provides...

Heh. I'm a software tester.

Ugh... Karma and Light of Day are both so unfair to black decks. What were they smoking at WotC when they designed those cards? "Let's make the effects on the white-Gates-black cards really crippling. After all, white and black are iconic enemies!" "Oh, I know! Let's put the effect on an...

I played my first modern tournaments today, and boy is Boil a filthy card :) WotC really had different guidelines for color hosing back then...

I think I came halfway through The Castle but that's more because I tend to read books halfway through anyway, save for the stories I really like. It's not a bad book though, but I think The Trial was better (though that may be because I did read that one to its conclusion).

Heh, that's actually what I had the cycling cost at at first. I decided to change it to {2} to make it a bit more generic. But sure, you could definitely change the cycling cost to the primary color of the three-color combination. In my case that would be: Abzan (Selesnya, Orzhov): {b}{g}{w}...

Gee, thanks guys :D I guess the cycler is the winner so far! My land count with that cycler would depend on the deck. In an aggressive deck with a low curve it just counts as one of the lands. If you draw it early, sweet! Perfect mana! If you draw it late, you can cycle it for gas. In a...

Yeah, definitely swap those abilities around, otherwise it's still strictly better than a basic Forest. I came up with some other ideas as well. Once again, the Bant guild is green based (as the two guilds compromising Bant are Selesnya and Simic, there are no Azorius cards in my cube (which is...

You are right, that is the edge of Worldknit. City of Brass was indeed the land throwing me off :)

The nonbasic lands say no. Though maybe the World Knit was picked after the lands...

BB, RR, 1RR, 2GG, 4RR splash white and blue? What madness is this? :)

I concur. What I love about their reviews is that I get a really good sense of both how the game plays out and of the look and feel of the game.

I actually run a cycle of custom lands. I added basic land types to Seachrome Coast and made one of those for each guild. I don't run the original duals, the other duals are the fetches from Zendikar/Khans, the scry lands from Theros and the shock lands from Ravnica. Oh, and the triland from...

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. But Eric has a point. The question then is, when creating custom cards, do you want cards that would be balanced in constructed formats, or do you design cards specifically for your cube while disregarding their potential for constructed. After all...

I think it's a cute synergy card, but I would be more excited about it in {b}{g}, which is usually a color combination that can make better use of recursion, as well as better use of four-drops. Maybe it should be {2}{b}{g} and swap out flying for another evasive ability, like intimidate...
