If there was a cycle for Artifact Land - Food for each color, they would enter tapped unless you control another Food and be called Desserted Island, Plains, etc…

Turn 1-2 sol rings are a problem! I am increasingly finding myself miles behind that opponent and never catching up. Here’s something to consider:

~22% chance an opponent plays turn 1 sol ring (no mulligans)

~40% chance of facing a turn 1 sol ring if each opponent mulligans for it

Feels like 50% of my bracket 3 games have a bracket 3.9 deck/player at them. It’s getting a bit annoying.

I’ve always been a fan of Demo and was bummed to see a like-minded player give up on his channel. Then this hit with comments disabled. Do YOU think the format has gone in the wrong direction?Watch it here:

If cards that target an opponent with a positive effect (like Secret Rendezvous) are “politics” cards then so are the ones that target with negative effects. Like Lightning Bolt.

Give us MDFC Sagas that tell a story of a conflict/war, then on the last chapter flip into a Battle.

You heard it here first. Follow for more design gold.

Random prediction, but I think WotC will have a collab with a Blizzard Entertainment franchise in 2026.

Rules text needed on a [Commander] card #2:

“Spells and abilities your opponents control can’t cause cards to leave your graveyard.”

Rules text needed on a [Commander] card #1:

“Whenever an opponent taps one or more lands for mana, if they control more lands than you, put a stun counter on target land that player controls.”

My simple test suggests Force of Will should not make the cut as a Game Changer.

Low-mana tutors are in a weird spot on the Game Changers list. If the intent is to tutor up Game Changers, they effectively serve as a copy, so count them in. However, my simple test suggests that they qualify only situationally.

Cyclonic Rift is an example of a single, spiteful Effect with lasting consequences and thus belongs on the Game Changers list, according to my simple test. Good luck coming back from this one!

My simple test suggests Ad Nauseam does NOT qualify as a Game Changer.

My simple test says Ancient Tomb belongs on the Game Changers list.
