Conspiracy Unraveler reads "exile 1, maybe 2 cards from your graveyard instead of paying a cards mana cost" in my high CMC deck. XD

Even Tivadar's Crusade thinks this is a little narrow. For the record, I play Tivadar's Crusade and it's definitely less narrow than Solemnity . Goblins is a fairly popular tribe and if theres a red deck at the table there's a good chance it'll have goblins in it. This is just if you're comboing or...

Delney, Streetwise Lookout is getting windmill slammed into Tivadar of Thorn. Really hyped about that.

I've never seen this before and I kinda doubt I will. You have to cast this with a bigger board than your opponents' stats wise and then have to dodge removal for it to get value and the entire table is incentivized to immediately murder him.

Maybe good if you've got a pile of sac outlets on hand?

I know it's a minuscule sample size but of the 35 games I've been tracking 27 of them have been won by one of the first two players in turn order. There's an obvious advantage in going earlier, but dang, I didn't expect it to be this pronounced. We'll see how the data levels out over time. That doe...

Lately I'm focusing less on attack or combat damage triggers (removing, among others, Mari, the Killing Quill , Captain N'ghathrod and Tovolar, Dire Overlord // Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge among others) and more on ETB effects. Voja might be a very good addition in a deck that wants to abuse atta...

Voja, Jaws of the Conclave continues in wotc's march to make changeling tribal the most busted tribe of all.

Today on "what random tribe did they print a busted legendary creature for" we have an elf/wolf hybrid with Voja, Jaws of the Conclave.

Card seems pretty good.

Any meta where this significantly wrecks a pile of decks by itself is not a meta I want to be a part of. Any deck that uses this plus a pile of other Thalia, Guardian of Thraben effects to make sure it wrecks the other decks is not a deck I want to play against. Pretty inoffensive card by itself, I ...

I think "kill on sight" may be a bit harsh in a world where there are way more egregious card draw engines in the command zone… Zedruu tries to look unassuming but after one turn cycle I expect it to be drawing more than 2 cards per turn. It's not Chulane, Teller of Tales levels of kill o...

I'm not a huge fan of Zedruu the Greathearted. In theory it's cute. In practice it's a kill on sight. If the deck is chill, you need to kill it on sight or be buried in card advantage. If the deck isn't chill, you need to kill it on sight or die to some random Transcendence effect.

I like deckbuilding games and so does my girlfriend. But she primarily likes playing them cooperatively which limits our choices. We generally play Marvel Legendary which is good and Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle but I have been trying to find another game we could play. I actually like Harry Potter...

If you're into co-op and drafting, Spirit Island is quite possibly my favorite 2-3 player co-op title ever. Spirit Island is my 2nd favorite board game of all board games. It doesn't have a whole lot of drafting though. For that I like 7 Wonders and Blood Rage. Tyrants is a fantastic game. Dragonlo...

I have the core Dominion set only and enjoy it (and deck builders in general). If I was to get only one more expansion what would you recommend? Intrigue is generally considered the best "first" expansion. I should look into other deck builder games... Thanks, I'll add that to my list to ...

Monarchy is a really cool mechanic. I'm glad these all exist. I personally only run Court of Grace . It's in my Tivadar of Thorn deck that has a monarchy subtheme. It is very solid there. The 1/1 spirits do a great job getting or protecting the monarchy for you. It creates board presence with some c...

The best use for Naughty // Nice is to tutor up a game winning card that your opponent religiously rails against being "in the spirit of the game" and then seeing if their morals hold up to not actually casting it in that spot. IE giving someone who hates MLD an Armageddon when it would cl...

I've never done a hard theme vorthos deck. Figured I'd throw together one based on my favorite anime. I'm planning on doing 3 cards per character, representing the beginning, middle and end of their story arcs / part of the story. I'm also planning on making cards for massive plot points. Kyubey 1 K...

I was super hyped when this first got spoiled. I've seen it exactly never.

You're the only one obsessed with objectivity. This format is built on a foundation of subjectivity. You can either accept that or keep playing the fool. This is literally what I've been trying to say this whole time: casual commander is a format built on subjectivity. You can't have a meaningful d...

What I'm trying to argue is that Glen Elendra Archmage 's need to be face up to work is a downside. Imagine the scenario where I have Glen Elendra Archmage out with no available synergies, then imagine an identical situation, except I have a 2/2 with flying and persist out on the field, and an addi...

Practically-speaking, I think the most common fail-case when I try to pull off a "I have a nasty answer for whoever tries to mess with me" is that a scrub will immediately force my hand, and then the next guy will combo out when my shields are down. Nevinyrral's Disk is another good examp...

I was just drafting Dominaria Remastered with my brother. I was 2-0 and in the finals. Game 2 I played Nightscape Familiar → Coal Stoker → Goblin -> Grapeshot for 4 damage → Empty the Warrens to make 10 goblins. It felt delicious. Also, Shivan Dragon is terrifying in old limited. That card was just ...

There was a whole cycle of 8-drops in Shards of Alara! I remeber some cool games with Empyrial Archangel and Prince of Thralls . Hellkite Overlord was a big beater at least, but Sphinx Sovereign has always been a bad card. These creatures have some if the most badass names in the game, though! Alar...

Wednesday, December 13th, 2023; Godsire Godsire I can't believe the token is worth more than the card. Such a cool card though I remember grabbing this with Tooth and Nail back in the day. Card is flippin cool. Gets my inner timmy real happy. It's pretty bad though. I don't think I've ever seen one...

As long as I'm complaining about cards like this I'll mention Scambleverse is the worst card ever printed and I want to fight whoever made it.

I have a personal stance that I auto-scoop to Scrambleverse.

I'd probably come close on this one too just because it makes games take so long.
