I have a hunch that the "removal of something never removed before" mechanic is going to be similar to Override as introduced in this custom set: https://amp.reddit.com/r/custommagic/comments/eb5sou/cyberpunk_set_mechanics_override_initialize/ It feels like it would play nicely into the modal...

I would agree that it's not good. Many things have to go right for its effect to be beneficial, and at 2 mana it's hard to accept it being net negative on cards. If you're going deep on cards that like to be discarded it's tolerable, but there are many, many other ways to do so without feeling...

I feel you. It's really hard to carve out that time, and even when you do it's easy to fall back to the comfortable things--for me that's XCOM, Skyrim, and MGSV. It's important to not exert too much pressure on yourself, though, as that's how you grow to resent the demands of your hobbies...

Elder of Laurels Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Saddled Rimestag Oran-Rief Ooze Rancor Ulvenwald Mysteries Nissa is probably outside of your power band, but the others are hopefully varying levels of plausible. edit: Sylvan Anthem Gaea's Anthem I'm still really salty about Sylvan Anthem being...

Vampire of the New Moon Siren Stormtamer Faerie Seer Silver Raven Hapless Researcher Insolent Neonate Falkenrath Pit Fighter Narnam Renegade Gingerbrute Lunarch Veteran Shambling Ghast Selfless Savior Alseid of Life's Bounty Judge's Familiar Arcbound Mouser How about cards like these? They're...

What about a ninja with a LTB ability to promote both not blocking them and chaining them? Something like DUDERINO {1}{B} Creature - Rat Ninja Ninjutsu {B} When DUDERINO leaves the battlefield, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. 1/1

I know I've been teasing a cube update for a month or so, not that I'm egocentric enough to think that anyone is waiting with bated breath for me to post it, but the process of reviewing my cube sketches has helped me realize that I have a couple fistfuls of cards that I always like to build...

Cycling lands are also approximately 10 cents each on TCGPlayer, so I think there's very little downside to grabbing 20 of each and calling it a day. The sleeves are probably a greater cost at that point.

Speaking as someone who has recently jumped from 30 to 60 fixing lands, I can report that it's definitely made a huge difference in how my (solo, bot-enabled) drafts have gone. I'm not sure it's been entirely for the better, and my data is definitely skewed by how the CubeCobra bots will gobble...

@Jason Waddell can we get a new emoji like:edh:but saying "it depends on your environment?" On topic, I do like looting werewolf as a 'funisher' card in that it dies to an aggressive sneeze but incentivizes interaction. It worries me how good it is--just transforming into a 2/1 unlockable...

Jumping back to the Beeble, it's too close to randomly getting color hosed for me. However, if you cross out the "as it was cast" bit and draft with a pair of these bad boys on the table . . .

I love pain lands, so B for me. Meaningful choices are tasty, and getting an untapped triland seems pretty dang good. I'm a bit fan of the cycling trilands too.

Cosmos Elixir is kind of like Elixir of Immortality in that it's an alternate win con for control decks but has the small upside of actually being fun. All joking aside, I think it's a really useful card to have in your environment if you need to buff control decks. It provides value...

I actually don't think that turning off counterspells is a downside as a designer, though, as it makes her harder to turn into a removal bot, which is the main reason I don't run Kess. Ideally this would mean that you're stuck casting cantrips or other cool things. However, this is probably me...

Right, I didn't see the once per turn bit. Thanks! That makes me not want to run it anymore.

Kess, Dissident Mage Lier, Disciple of the Drowned So, okay, I think we just talked about Kess a little while ago and people brought up that she's basically a removal check, but does Lier function any differently? I've not tried Lier, but I feel that weirdly enough by keeping the card out of...

So, they look really nice on Arena, and I think that they just overestimated the capabilities of their printer. When you look at the physical versions next to the images on a screen, they look nothing alike because the backlit white is so much more vibrant than the printed white--plus, the...

Flavor is on point.

And then there's Balduvian Trading Post, where they'll yell at you if you actually discuss A or B instead of suggesting K.

Oh man, the Aurochs deck! I picked that one up too. It's funny, I started out life as a RG player, then migrated to WR, and now I'm solidly an Esper boy. Strange the way things turn out.
