Judgments

Show

Hide

Megiddo: I'm not sure how I feel about this being able to nail basic lands. I do like that it can flashback to make use of acquired information from the first casting. It's a card with a lot of moving parts.

NinjaCaterpie: Seems fun, especially with scry. A shame it doesn't let you play lands exiled that way.

chetoos: Ah, Pithing Needle+. I do like that it could be very worth naming a card that one intends to play. Naming Phage the Untouchable so you can bring her back with Goryo's Vengeance, or otherwise sidestepping other brutal drawbacks. Honestly, I wonder if the trigger ability negation alone is worth the cost, just because it can hose (or enable) so much.

Juancu: A Rumplestiltskin reference I see. Feels kind of weird. It's sort of an undercosted beater, sort of an expensive mana dork, and has a sort of protection. I think I'd like it more if it went a little harder into Treasure generation at the cost of it's might, perhaps adding a more meaningful cost to the Treasure generation in exchange for two Treasures.

Cythare: The mirror to Nevermore being its ally colors is amusing. Lots of potentially silly things to be done with this, but it feels fine for more practical purposes too.

Phyrexian Editor: Feels kind of weak to be honest, at least for the usual reasons people want to run graveyard hate. The flavor feels a little disjointed too.

Ulka: Ah, good old 'monitor' puns. It's functionality feels weird, but I do understand why it has to work the way it does (that is to say, countering instead of preventing casts). Brutal (perhaps overly so) with discard, but at least that requires another color.

Juancu: And here's Beetlejuice. I like the cost reduction effect, but it feels kind of durdley. You have to spend a total of 4BBBB to both cast this for 'free' and get to destroy something... or just name something and cast this for a B less overall. There also aren't currently any other cards that note card names (outside of the Conspiracy draft cards) for this to try and synergize with. It's a very cute reference, but I think it needs to be cheaper.

It's really only good to name your own phage if you want to sac the drill after she enters, but if you're already doing that, I can see the shenanigans going off. Thanks for the win

IIW: Spongebob

A lot of characters from one plane surprised at the other, though I like that both swapped cards use mechanics from the other plane (the eldraine card uses morbid, the zombie has an adventure). I don't think any of these have the raw flavor appeal that a visit to either plane wants, though.

Adamant as a transform trigger is a very interesting idea here, though I'm not sure of the flavor here. It doesn't seem bad, just odd to me.

Knight of the Accords RWB

First strike, lifelink, trample

Ooh, the first off color adventure, I like it, and this makes a lot of decayed tokens, so that's nice. This seems like it would do well in a UB deck that has a lot of village rites effects.

I like the simplified version of this card, as well as using the very clean flavor for cinderella of daybound/nightbound. Is it implied that she has the adventure on her? If so, I really like this whole package.

I feel like treasure/food gen is a little off flavor for UW, since that's all you're paying for this card, but the second one to combine adventure with a tdfc is very nice.

IIW: Fairytales

I was going to say that RRH is a little strong, but then I'm like "2 food? No, that's good" I'd like maybe having some way on the huntsman to grow, maybe if he wins a fight, or when you sac a food token? Just some way to make him stronger. I don't know.

Winner: Phyrexian Editor for the great flavor of a cinderella card.
