    I play Human Tribal and looking to depower it a little (Champion goes too hard). Plus I run too many 4's as it is :p I guarantee it'll rock up in someone's folder at my FLGS, I'll promptly forget these things and get it anyway, all so it can sit in the "Find room for this" section of my cube box...

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Testing/Includes Thread

    So I've been looking for ways to feed Lich Knight's Conquest efficiently when I realized how good The Witch's Vanity is for bargain in general. I already run Sarcomancy which I guess could go in the deck, Raven Man seems synergistic, and am testing Call the Bloodline again. Anyone else testing...

    I have both of these competing impulses. I use these (and others like them) in packs to avoid memory issues or information leaking during the draft, with the actual DFC sitting with my tokens for deck construction. Some of my players just prefer to use the stand-in with a marker to represent...

    Thousand-Faced Shadow is definitely cooler. Makes me want to live the dream with Runo Stromkirk and... Mirror-Style Master and Flamerush Rider? You know, utterly unplayable jank. In all seriousness though, Sailor is probably better unless you can play the Shadow early and get that famous flying...

    Yeah they got rid of that, it bothers me too. I used to name the decks so I could go back and look at them, or create example decks for each archetype, it was a super useful feature. I think there's some backend/database reason for it, a while ago the site slowed down a ton and they made a...

    Seek the Beast is an Instant with "Until your next end step", so unless you're main-phasing it to hit a land drop you'd otherwise miss it's a straight upgrade. You cast it at the end of their turn to have access to the cards in your own, so yeah it's still a t2 play. I'd definitely make the swap...

    I was thinking rather than like, Imperiosaur or w/e, more like {c} or {s} - an actual mana symbol that represents "Mana from a basic land". Saves a lot of words, allows for costs that have partial requirements (Think "{1}{c}: Do thing," rather than something like "{X}: Do thing, spend only black...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    While most of the cycle of duals are card neutral (Except Rakdos, but we all know how strong that text is) I do wonder about the tutor lands. The other seven do "Generically useful thing" in a way that's clearly pushed, even if there's a range on exactly how powerful they are. The Golgari...

    I'd like to add Recurring Nightmare and Dread Return to that list. The tier I play with is like, Dread Return down. Necromancy, Victimize, Diabolic Servitude, Unburial Rites. Plus Living Death (And maybe Lich Knight's Conquest now), but that's a totally different deck.

    As the 'walker will be put into it's owners graveyard (not destroyed/sacrificed) due to to SBAs after the ability is finished resolving, the wording would likely have to reference the planeswalker having 0 loyalty. As a bonus, you could check toughness and loyalty with the same condition, so 0/0...

    I'm having flashbacks to Creatureless Cover-Up in GRN draft. Man that was a fun draft set. Crossposting from CBS: Astral Dragon It's sick with Astral Slide too no I don't take feedback.

    Stuff like Angel of Glory's Rise (combo piece), Astral Dragon (same), Inkwell Leviathan, Hoarding Broodlord, Bogardan Hellkite, Craterhoof Behemoth (situational), Myr Battlesphere, Ancient Stone Idol, Metalwork Colossus. Big dumb idiots, some of whom stabilize you, many of whom have other ways...

    This is what I do. I mean, I have a low power cube so it's not "Archon of Atraxabrand"-tier threats, but players can cheat out stuff that would have been good enough in 2013-era cubes at around turn 4, after the aggro decks have put out a lot of pressure. My only cheap reanimation is Unearth-tier.

    General Designing for Sealed?

    I was literally thinking about this two days ago. I've done a lot of duplicate sealed pools but I don't think I've ever played sealed with a draft cube and am similarly interested in how people go about it. If its at all relevant. when I build duplicate sealed pools I like to have some set of...

    Yeah the wincon is the opponent falling asleep leading to a game loss for slow play.

    Confiscate > Vapor Snare >= Invoke the Winds >>> Welcome to the Fold Like, that depends on some factors like how blue my deck is, the sorts of stuff I need answers to (Because of the sorts of threats in the cube as well as what I've already picked up), but if my P1 was these four and nothing...

    I love UG madness and genuinely hadn't ever considered playing Echo of Eons in it. Sounds sick. Has anyone tried Torrent Elemental I know it's not providing instant value but it seems like it presents a pretty respectable threat, and the activated ability is sweet. Obviously Delve and all -...
