Here's a thought: Charge us an annual fee. It seems that most here would rather stay on MTGSalvation, and if it means we need to pay a few dollars to keep it alive it seems like a better option than the forums dying.
Reminds me of when IMDB closed its boards. We need somewhere to go but there won't be an option that is good enough.

In a set like this where we know how many reprints there are the number crunch becomes a lot more worthwhile.
Just look at Amulet of Vigor and imagine in the command zone.
Unfortunately, I just don't see too many etb tapped synergies that aren't land-based. So I guess this is a landfall general?
Blue has much better card draw...
2. Can only be played in monocolor commander decks that will cheat this into play. Assuming anything that is 2+ colors will have better options than a bunch of vanillas.
3. Would be really cool if it was less expensive. Like, a 3/3 for 3 that makes one token when it dies and Encores for 6 mana. Would especially be cool for precursor golem decks.
Most people build around their commanders. So when they can't play their commanders their decks are much weaker. Stealing 3 commanders should be a big enough swing to win you the game, even if they don't help you that much.
I know there are stronger ults than this but I think this is the most game-winning of the PW ults from the command zone so far. I play some of the PW commanders and I don't even try to ult them.
120 cards x 4. I realized that with more people we can draft a normal cube, so this is a good option for less than 4 people.
It is 5 colors, though there are imbalances with the gold cards as I want some people to play 2 colors and others to play 3 colors. I chose not to make any one color deep enough to go monocolor. If I want to enable this I would probably need to cut some gold cards and put some hybrid cards.
Will post the list once I pickup the sleeves.
Do you think there should be sideboarding or no? I think best of 1 would be best. You play each opponent once - 3 quick games.
Seems good on turn 3 or turn 5, honestly. You are probably going to tick up more often than not, and use the 0 probably when you know what's on top (or in a very lean deck).
This would be a lot of fun with doubling season
He talks about what he knows, which is always the 4 main sets every year. He did talk about Jumpstart which was interesting. He rarely works on supplemental sets and there is not much to talk about when they are mostly reprints.
I think that Paul Cheon's team probably got too aggressive this year. they pushed cards way too much. It was a new team so I guess they need to be reigned in a bit. Hopefully the balance issues will start going down with the rotation.
I liked what Mark said about Companion - it was a bad idea for Set Design to design this mechanic. It was too hard to balance. They should have realized this however and removed it from the set.
Someone in the reddit post claims that regardless of rarity, all 2XM cards are showing up as legal in Pauper. If this is true, then I guess it's possible.
Surprised they didn't upshift lol
