I am personally thinking about it as a 1b card that puts a +1/+1 counter on another creature, draws a card, triggers creature dying effects, and can be easily recurred. That is a lot for a card without even getting into the fact it can draw you a second card if you want. How many decks care about t...

(also: I somehow missed Scorn-Blade Berserker , but I like it a lot as a black Thraben Inspector ) Does it actually have any space in the format? Baseline seems like 2B, sac a creature to draw 2. There's a few angles - it can chump block, you could choose to save the counter instead of sac, it can ...

Mileva of the Tenth 1w Legendary Creature - Human Soldier Whenever you cast a spell that targets Mileva of the Tenth, put a +1/+1 counter on Mileva of the Tenth, then scry 1. 2r , Discard a nonland card: Mileva of the Tenth gains indestructible until end of turn. If the discarded card has a mana va...

Friday, March 31st, 2023; Liquimetal Torque Liquimetal Torque Great rock. Love these kinds of multi-faceted rocks that have a lot of ancillary purposes baked in that aren't immediately visible to others especially inexperienced players. Probably one of the best colorless mana rocks around. There ar...

Ok, can someone fill me in on the March of the Machine story? I haven't read any of the stories yet, and I suspect I'm about to be infuriated by the story based on the flavor text I'm reading on the spoilers. They effing PHASED OUT an EFFING MTG PLANE OF EXISTENCE?! What. The. ACTUAL. [STRING OF EX...

If your commander isn't the one making the tokens, this probably is too much of a "do nothing" for most decks; most decks simply don't have the critical mass of Treasure/Clue/Food makers to make this worthwhile. Treasure is by far the most populous of these tokens with 26 commanders (incl...

Finally made it back to Mythic. https://images2.imgbox.com/43/54/Uytnm1Oe_o.png As much as I would love to try for Mythic in limited each month, it's really a time sink. Unless you draft at least four to five times a week, its almost impossible to get the games in to reach there. The only reason I e...

two Canada Geese are fighting outside my window as I type this. Go on. I have to sleep with my blinds close because my bedroom is directly above the entrance to my building and there is an overhang right in front of my window. A Saturday, not soon after I bought my condo, I am awoke by a strange no...

Academy Manufactor basically boils down to does your deck consistently make Clues, Food, and/or Treasure? If the answer is yes, you probably should play this card. For example, a kid at my LGS plays a Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second deck that has a decent amount of Treasure production and this would le...

Legendary Creature – Elder Giant Dog So this is kind of scary, but there are only two Elder Giants, Kroxa and Uro in the game. So it is probably one of those two (or one of its implied siblings) along with Kunoros if we are sticking with the pairs have to be from the same plane. • Legendary Creatur...

Seedborn Muse - Nothing more really needs to be said about it. Graveborn Muse - Great zombie payoff. Though I've seen it win games. I've also seen it kill its owner thanks to how easy it is for zombies to go wide nowadays. Dreamborn Muse - Alright. Okay mill card depending on your meta. Windborn Mu...

I was going to dunk on that poster but I noticed that the Fifth Element is on there so I guess the rest of it is valid. The Fifth Element is just one of those movies that is just pure, undiluted fun. No matter how bad of a day I am having, I can watch it and feel better. Also, if anyone is looking ...

Man, that poster is bologna. Shame on whoever made that list, they couldn't tell good cinema from a steaming cow patty. Edit: seriously, The Maze Runner and Crank are required viewing now? GTFO with that lame boring %$#%. If we gotta have Jason Statham for whatever %$#% reason, The Transporter is w...

I will say I'm sad that @TheAmericanSpirit, @Toshi, and @Guardman aren't chiming in more. While it's interesting to get the perspective of someone who studies film, I'm a lot more curious about the perspectives of fellow laymen who like the film, because that's a lot more confusing to me. I am prob...

Being white and being artifacts are the two big things for me. Yes, they aren't good on defense or going over blockers, but that's fine when white has so many token/small creature interactions. It also has a ton of artifact interactions as well. Plus the toxic can randomly be relevant when someone h...

Well there's more spoilers incoming. Including Tom %$#% Bombadil. Honestly flavor wise so far these look super good. Indeed. I really like that food is returning, so flavorful. Cons, I'm starting to get annoyed that we don't look to be getting a Ring equipment or a DFC Gandalf, but oh well. Also, i...

Dirk nailed it on reprieve, beating uncounterables is a massive upgrade. Man I don't know why but...I really thought I would hate universes beyond stuff, but so far I %$#% love LOTR, the FR stuff, and even the WH40k stuff. The only things that really turned me off were the walking dead cards. I am ...

Unfortunately, the font used for the artist's name ("Beleren Small caps") is very limited and doesn't contain any of the unicode blocks beyond basic latin. I've never found an extended version, and there very well might not be one, looking at actual cards with non-latin characters (seems ...

Something I noticed is that non-English characters in the artist names for custom cards show up as boxes (though they appear fine in the artist description).

For example:

Artist: あぎさと


Artist: 月見斐夜

Maybe it's my modern sensibilities talking, but I don't see anything very unique or stylistic about any of it. As both sides are approaching each other, the camera pretty much goes shot reverse shot (with some variation in the exact location) while slightly drawing in...that seems like a pretty obv...

While I agree that the fight scene isn't exactly amazing, you're kind of missing the point. The fight - which lasts all of 20 seconds - is much shorter than the build up to the actual fight itself. The framing, the music, and the blowing wind all combine to create a long tension that is released su...

Also, a big point in its favor. It's an artifact creature, which is huge for a lot of decks.

I've played with Ria Ivor, Bane of Bladehold and against her in limited. And she good in a toxic deck and kind of weird every where else. She also plays two important roles in a toxic deck: 1. She can turn you non-toxic creatures into delayed toxic. 2. Battle cry helps get your toxic creatures throu...

Fire // Ice is one of those cool cards of days past. And I have thoughts. My biggest one is how cool it would be if Fire and Ice could be mixed and match, so that in a limited environment you could have Fire // Ice or Air // Ice with all ten color pairs. On the more commander front, anytime I go th...

Early Harvest reminds me that one day I do want to build a Heartbeat of Spring / Mana Flair EDH deck that plays a lot like the old Heartbeat of Spring combo deck from Ravnica / Kamigawa standard (the best standard by the way). It was a deck I never got to play, but played against often, and I alway...
