Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Esika's Chariot

Its a good/bad card. On one hand it creates the crew needed for it to work and if you have good etb or otherwise great effect creatures it works well. Sadly it sits in the 4cc slot which means while you can use it early not much worth copying is played before except for some tech creatures unless yo...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - True Conviction

Its one of those good but bad cards. So many timing issues on this card. You want it early but it comes in usually so late that its basically a empty slot in your deck. They either wrath to keep you out of your advantage or nuke the enchantment immediately.

Re: [SCD] Old Gnawbone

This is actually a really good card, but also a really confusing card. Its really good at what it does and between the stats and abilities really shines. The problem lies with if you ramp out to this card at turns 3, 4, or 5 consistently your already running a deck thats already highly tuned at ramp...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Animation Module

Animation Module is one of those tech cards I like the idea of but hate in practice. While the pay one ability is actually not badly priced in the grand scheme of things I REALLY hate adding extra to any casting costs I play. The fact that it needs four mana to gain a creature and a counter is a fai...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Cavalier of Gales

Cavalier Of Gales is one of those blue cards that is ok in design overall but will always be pushed out of a deck cause its utility is stapled to a triple blue, and blue usually is more of a splash color to most decks that play blue. Things like Cryptic Command where the cost has even more utility i...

I, reasonably, am waiting for more details than one or two artist shots and a descriptive blurb before making my final opinion.

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

I mean, idk on what basis anyone could reasonably make a judgment in either direction. I will say, though, that AFR has had a pretty poor draft turnout relative to other sets. To be fair we just got out of lockdown for a pretty nasty bug and spending time in a very under ventilated small shop with ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Blossoming Bogbeast

I use this in my trostani, selesnyas' voice deck as a finisher and a combo part for other parts of the deck. There are many ways to force this in white and green that even if your using some of the iffy cards your getting a decent bonus out of it.

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/13/2020)

Bauble isnt the issue card, more Lurrus. I'm not calling for a ban though since there are ways around it but as a draw engine it might be a bit too consistent since you can recycle bauble and gain insight to opponents decks fairly easy.
