Is this actually good? Or just midrange trash?

Does anyone still grab Eldrazi Conscription with this?

I read this as the partners mechanic and was about to talk about something with Vial Smasher. I'm glad I'm terribly mistaken lmfao.

I've seen a few Wort, the Raidmother decks over the years. I think she's a cool card - Gruul is usually pretty creature-focused, and Wort is one of the few spellslinger payoffs in that color pair. Copying Rampant Growth s and other ramp spells, and eventually copying a Comet Storm to win is pretty ...

Ban it

This. I'm of the camp to "ban nonland permanents that generate more mana than their mv in a trivial way".

Monday, April 22 2024; Wort, the Raidmother Wort, the Raidmother Initially, the first card I got was goblin mutant|phj specifically this print that I didn't even know existed. That goofy art made me laugh extra hard with it being in a foreign language. But I didn't go with it because, well, not a lo...

I saw someone use Map the Frontier to fetch Arid Archway yesterday and was inspired to start this thread. I feel like conventional wisdom is to focus on untapped lands and lots of fixing when building a manabase, but we have received some interesting land types over the years that allow for more in...

This is always good for discussion...let's see if the landscape has changed any.

Colorless: Coldsteel Heart, Arcum's Astrolabe, Replicating Ring You seem to have missed the most common Snow-support artifact - Extraplanar Lens . . . You don't need to play Lens anymore. I know that "it costs 3 " but realistically no, it doesn't. You really have to play it as a 4 so you ...

Hmm. That's probably important. Anything that can rez straight to the battlefield with no mv req is playable I think, especially if it's repeatable.

Snow tends to thrive most in 3c decks as 1-2c will end up with too many basics sacrificing your utility options (typically Sultai - mystical teachings, into the north, dead of winter but there's a case to eschew B and add W for Bant to use Search for Glory ). What I was thinking here. B and W are t...

Friday, April 19th 2024; Runechanter's Pike|brr Runechanter's Pike|brr I remember the days slapping this onto Wydwen, the Biting Gale and dumpstering people in 1-2 shots when they thought they had 6-7 turns to cope with her. Ah, good times, feels like just yesterday. Just a good control finish that'...

I definitely have a desert package in Torbran, even picked up an ARN version of the original. Happy to see a desert typed Guildless Commons . When you talk about snow, you gotta name Arcum's Astrolabe . In snow it's virtually free fixing, and it's an artifact so it can pitch to your other artifact s...

As Kaalia's personal liaison, it pains my soul every time I see this end up in someone's list. I'm sure it's got some use...but c'mon players, it's really, really not as good as it reads...

I don't typically like four mv dorks. but when they can net 3+ mana with regularity, I think they're worth a second look. Particularly so if they interact favourable with, say, Umbral Mantle ...

I'm often tempted to build a deck with her as the general but I already have 3 5c decks I love. Also, Slivers are super boring to pilot and I don't want to build her as just a combo piece. So I'm kinda left in this vague uninspired area. But she cool. >:( Who says you need 5c slivers? I've fallen b...

...No one is spending $300usd on a physical version of this, right? I certainly hope not.

Brainstorm ranges from actual garbage when you don't have shuffle effects on the regular, to a legal Ancestral Recall when you do. Ergo the only reason you wouldn't play it is when you don't have shuffles.

Don't think you'll find much love for Arena here, let alone the polarized Brawl format that is commander-lite. Might be better off just following people like Saffron Olive and the rest of the goldfish crew that play this, unfortunately.

I have no experience with this card. Isn't it fairly popular? Looks fair but annoying as random poison tends to be. I have no issue with aggro. But I do find myself annoyed with poison because of how pushed proliferate has become. Nah, this is fair because you can't just get people with a Become Im...

I miss this template. Can we just make all blink default to this style? I know it opens up to stifle|scg feel-bads but that's still superior to random interactions that accidentally the whole game yeah?

Man, back in the MTGSally days I had this in Kaalia while I wished for the OG Balance to be unbanned (even bought a 4ED copy to hope) and this card...well, it does what it says on the tin but it really................doesn't actually do what we need it to do. The main issue is it doesn't ever hit wh...
