Call of the Ring looks to be another card that is better than Phyrexian Arena, in addition to Black Market Connections and Necropotence.
You still need a creature in order to draw though.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast

I liked him fine in Breya, Etherium Shaper, an artifact token generator coupled to repeatable removal is good enough in my book.

Re: MoM commander breakdown

Djeru and Hazoret I like getting a bonus for being hellbent-ish, rather than needing it to do much of anything. But unfortunately I think the ceiling is too low here. It's a Fire Elemental that maybe draws a card when it attacks. And emptying your hand is potentially difficult with a lot of legenda...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Dance with Calamity I love this. It is the kind of card that just cracks me up. Like playing your own mini-game of Blackjack. Just big splashy dumb fun that gets the whole to laugh as you either succeed or fail spectacularly. :rofl: I just am sad that is even or I'd put it in my Kraum, Ludevic's Op...

Re: [Discuss] Wasted Creative

I like Catacomb Dragon's art but the card is way too bad, even for my pile of dragons for Ur-Dragon in which I included some questionable dragons.

I also keep Goblin Archaeologist in my randomness deck purely due to the flavour text.

What combos are you worried about? I guess it depends on if it would get additional colors. Dark Depths , Cabal Coffers , Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle , Emeria, the Sky Ruin , Gaea's Cradle , and other powerful lands that created the entire sub-format of Golos decks that revolved around a certain l...

I like the flavor of this card - a dragon that's accumulating treasure.

Can't wait to give it haste and myriad with duke ulder ravengard and have the token-making ability trigger three times.
Myriad won't do much by itself since Old Gnawbone is legendary.

Are all of these alt-arts and etched treatments going to show up in draft boosters or are they exclusive to Cadillac packs? I think so, only the textured foils are exclusive to Collector Boosters.

Re: Which do you like more?

Ahah, I was going to propose that exact same one since I just cut Despark from The Ur-Dragon. I'd go with Anguished Unmaking as I got burned by Despark not being able to deal with what I want too often.

To stay on the removal theme:

Re: Which do you like more?

I'd say Gonti, Lord of Luxury because it's faster to resolve, you don't need to be in the right colours and it can be abused more easily, but it's a close call.

Black Market Connections or Sylvan Library ?

Re: How many lands is correct (on average)?

Same as for other people, I usually start at 37 and then possibly adjust to 36 or 38 if needed, usually accompanied by 8-12 pieces of ramp.

I...have so many questions.

Does the choice reset between games? Do the symbols mean this thing has a 5-color identity?
I'm pretty sure this will only work in draft anyway.

Actually, this might be a genuinely good place for pillowfort cards. I tend to think they're not great, and would just prefer playing a board wipe, but that isn't a great idea here, obviously. I don't want to go overboard with them but a handful of pillowfort cards, especially creatures , could be ...

What the hell are test cards? I thought proxies were just...printed images in a sleeve with a Magic card. I don't know either.
