I will say that most of these are kinda busted, Wisedrafter's Will, Gobland, and No-Regrets Egret in particular. But they're all sick.

(....if you don't want to cube with force spike. Which I think we all agree is a silly opinion to hold. All my friends enjoy force spike.)

Oh cool, Train has written an article! :btg: ... But actually, this should have happened a long time ago. I'm shocked that people are even mad about this tbh. Guess that shows what I know! Which episode of Drive to Work was this? I'm not usually a fan--they cover a lot of basic ground...

Balmor Battlemage Captain Yes, he's yet another noncreature spells payoff, but he's A) more explosive than the rest and B) requires you to construct the deck a little differently. Adeliz is a little too specific/low-powered for you, but always plays a lot better than one might think!

Not to derail too far into Star Trek spoilers, but even though I'd rather not see UB at all, I think I'd rather see them do those sets right. If Trek requires 68 legendary creatures (plus a redshirt), which it sounds like it does, than I hope it's a full-sized set. To run similar numbers for...

Hey, welcome to the forums! I never realized that Cadric could copy lands, that's a super neat interaction. Could probably do something fun with Flagstones of Trokair. You can also have a couple of "shard" archetypes, so maybe Esper gets to be manland control. Creeping Tar Pit and Celestial...

Disallow Is the rate good? No, not at all, but it's so flexible it gets a pass, and it tends to enable cool moments of control decks going "oh wait, I can do THAT with this??"

Yeah, my initial thoughts were of Berlusconi as well, but I, uh, didn't think we needed to get into that too much. Yeesh.

I prefer the Kraken because I figure that if a big flier (i.e. >3 power) Does The Thing, the Thing that it Does is going to be attacking and really nothing else.

To expand on Ravnic's point, one major issue regarding ramp discourse is that people have historically conflated the "unga bunga" style of ramp (i.e. ramp into a 4-5-6 drop on turns 3-4-5 and win off of being both being a turn ahead of schedule and their threats being inherently larger than...

Yeah this is grueling even for the Joey Chestnuts and Takeru Kobayashis of spoilers. I wonder why they decided to compress the seasons like that? Three weeks between complete image gallery and release seems longer than normal, but maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

I'm shocked that no one else was on Plumecreed Escort. Plumecreed Escort If this was a faerie people would be drooling over it. I also run the following: The Infamous Cruelclaw Mabel, Heir to Cragflame Repel Calamity Cruelclaw is never coming out, but the other two are negotiable. Repel...

The Ozolith Crucible of Worlds Mirage Mirror Paradox Engine Spawning Pit Etched Monstrosity Etched Champion Seconding Altar of Dementia and Monument to Endurance.

Baird is the clear frontrunner, but Goblin Trenches is a rare old card that works from aggro to control and nothing else quite does what it does. You can make combos with it, you can go for value, you can screw yourself over if you're not careful--card's unique and cool and IMO the perfect...

I'm a little biased because I'm pretty much fully off retail cards these days but I think Umbral Collar Zealot would have been actively better as a 2/2 with menace or a 2/1 with deathtouch or something. 3/2 for 1C doesn't feel like a statline anyone should get without a downside, and then only...

My solution for this is to seed 3 in pack one, 2 in pack two, and just one in pack three. But I use a ton of occasionals, so there is that (48 in a given draft). I just have a big printout and sort them myself afterwards--but if I'm being totally honest, I just kind of eyeball it. If an...

This rules, and I really love how you're thinking about these categories! One that I haven't seen anyone else include is the bit about color hate as specific silver bullets--fine to see a card or two occasionally, terrible if it's omnipresent. I think this is a great idea, and I think (if you...

I'm voting for the same as LadyMapi and Nanonox, pretty much: CondescendMemory LapseRemandMiscalculation Big thumbs up to Nanonox's recommendations as well. There's also Mirrorshell CrabSink into Stupor But if you wanted open-ended recommendations I figured you'd have asked :)
