This discussion has been both entertaining and informative. As a result, I bought some wishes today, just in case. Well done, all.

This seems like a fun project, but I think it'll be hard to balance them against each other only using Ravnica sets. Some guilds are just stronger than others, due to raw power and mechanical synergy. Izoni with dredgers and Varolz, the Scar-Striped seems particular beastly, but that could just be m...

2. Does anyone have problems with the conquistador flavour of Legion's Landing // Adanto, the First Fort ? It's dodgy to me. I'm making a fairly low cmc Soul Sister-ish w/g deck and wanna run the card alongside Ardenvale and Kjeldoran Outpost (so as to be able to activate on command Soul Warden, In...

Gandalf is pretty Azorius (in the books). In the films he absorbed Radagast and therefore had a lot more green.
I want to reread everything, but no time.

Gandalf absorbed Radagast? I must have been more stoned than I thought when I watched those movies because I do not remember this.

You never know how many writing errors you make until you use an editor and begin to wonder how you managed to pass english.

What are you working on?

In the wishes discussion, I mentioned Death Wish as being a total whiff as the rules currently stand...but now I have a sudden and stupid desire to build a deck with Hive Mind and death wish and some sort of buyback to win the game xD EDIT: wait, no, we use Wound Reflection / Warlock Class . :think...

Baru, Fist of Krosa. Redundant grandeur mechanic aside this guy pumps your team for any forest entering play, not just yours. Gets pretty gross with Collective Voyage.

Pair with Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth for all of the fun.

The art on Soul Tithe makes it worth running by itself!

Thrun is one helluva mutate target. Regeneration and Hexproof definitely helps keep your creature stack around.

Angus Mackenzie? EverybodyHatesAngus.dec

Surely Golos is the obvious pick with how many unique lands are needed. Plus you get the best tutors for book.

I thought the intent was to make a bad deck?

For protection, wouldn't Tyrite Sanctum be better here because the indestructible property comes from the land instead? It also keeps the whole thing in the lands, which is more on theme. This plan is convoluted enough that I might build around it or add it to a bad deck. Angus Mackenzie ? Everybod...

Since my usual gems were both called out and people are onto me, let's introduce a couple of new challengers Devour in Shadow is still a tremendous piece of removal in a single colour, no regeneration, quite powerful yet never played. I run this in Vilis, Broker of Blood , where it's an absolute ho...

Pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but Dark Privilege is an absolute house in my Grismold, the Dreadsower deck. Regeneration is an underappreciated ability and the built-in sac outlet is nothing to sneeze at. Plus the art is great.

Dream Devourer seems like it could do work with Prosper.

I've been brainstorming a Korvold treasure/fight/fling themed deck with stuff like Old Gnawbone , Xenagos, God of Revels , etc. where I never plan to cast Korvold. I plan on calling it "Don Korvold's Fight Club" where the fighters earn treasure via stuff like Gnawbone. I know going into it...

Putting these two into Krark, the Thumbless + Sakashima of a Thousand Faces (yes, I am a bad person) and want to make sure I have the interactions correct. Let's start relatively simple: Harmonic Prodigy and Veyran, Voice of Duality on the field. Cast an instant/sorcery. Magecraft trigger from Veyra...

Disa, the Restless should really make an appearance sometime soon. We got Hans and Saffi and Norin…

To be clear, I'm not bothered by dungeons, they just seem like an inelegant version of contraptions. If they print something fun for Grismold, I might give them a look, but other than that, add 'em to the laundry list of mechanics and abilities that I'll have to squint at and ask to RTFC if I run ac...

Am I the only one who feels like if you scratched the borders on these cards, there'd be silver underneath?

Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth is quite powerful. It means Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary will never come off the banlist.

Back in the commander net days, we had proposed including a welcome letter from the RC with the inserts in the commander precons that pointed people to the philosophy document and said something like "welcome to the best format in the game, we're here for fun, interesting and challenging games&...

How often do you run into Blood Moon and company, though? You said yourself people hardly run them. The small chance that you're going to run into them is far outweighed by the efficiency of running non-basics. And Wave of Vitriol costs 7 for crying out loud. I get it: ramp ramp ramp, surf's up non-...

@pokken would single-target ruination really be all that bad? I feel like the lower power decks wouldn't want it and the 75% and above would use it to punish those decks that skimped on basics. A check on the Golos player wouldn't be all that terrible, would it? And knowing you have the chance to g...

Old frames, all the way. The nostalgia bomb is just too strong for me. My friends and I have joked about rubberbanding a stack of the old frame cards and tossing them in a backpack for a week for maximum old school feel.

I'm probably in the minority here, but man I want DREDGE. Ideally in BG, but UB might be cool too. I just want more dredgers, dammit. But since MaRo hates it with the passion of a thousand stubborn sons, I shall have to be content with Life from the Loam & co.
