Isn't Ponder just better though?

Well, 4th edition, for all its flaws, had a few great improvements over 3.5, one of them being mostly equalizing attack bonuses. I've read up a tiny bit on 5th edition, and it seems like they now have toned down attack bonus progression, so that the +1 to attack I assume the fighter still gets...

Yeah, 4th edition is kinda broken. Games really start to unravel a bit once you hit paragon tier with a party of more than 4 players. One combat a day sessions are a lost cause because of daily powers, so you really have to chain your encounters. I wouldn't miss the myriad of statuses either...

Well, that last link was surprising.

Sold!

20 decent artifact mana sources will probably lead you to a very midrange-y cube though.

I am probably going up to 450 cards to accommodate a larger gold section. Shift the temples from utility draft to cube, then add the trilands to the utility draft.

Conveniently, in D&D the optimizers talk about DPR, Damage Per Round. There's a DPR Kings thread that lists the most effective nova burst builds (i.e. the most damage in one turn). Not that those characters are fun to play for more than one session, as they thoroughly ruin all the fun for the...

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn. Untap those creatures. Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, you may draw a card. If you do, discard a card.

Goblinslide has the most amazing art and sweet flavor text :)

I'm not high on hexproof, though Prognostic Sphinx is not the worst offender I guess. Also, Doom Blade becomes Twiddle + Pain.

Prognostic Sphinx All these cards suck in cube people!

Slowtrips are so 1996!

Boomerang doesn't cantrip though. I imagine {1}{r}, where it would be a flipped Explore of sorts, is indeed the right cost for this to be playable.

Faulty Memory {2}{u}{u} Sorcery Delve Draw 3 cards, then discard one card for each card instant and sorcery card exiled to pay for this spell. Wail of the Dead {5}{b}{b}{b} Sorcery Delve Each player loses 1 life for each creature card in his or her graveyard. Put a 2/2 black Zombie creature...

Yes, major cube material! Human to boot, going by the art.

There's a lot of two-drops in this format spoiled so far, and morph ensures that they can trade up favorably. A lot of these cards should probably be played as bears with late game upside.

Evolving Expanse Land {t}, sacrifice Evolving Expanse: Search your library for up to three basic land cards. Put one of them onto the battlefield tapped and the rest into your graveyard. Then shuffle your library. Mnemonic Stone {2} Artifact Whenever you play a nonland card, put the top card of...

Some crazy delve design space: Veiled Assassin {2}{b}{b} Creature - Human Assassin Delve When Veiled Assassin enters the battlefield, target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the amount of mana spent to cast Veiled Assassin. Veiled Assassin's power and toughness are each equal...
