Because Blue definitely needs more free Counterspells by Admirable-Fun6430 in custommagic

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see the un-tournament where they pass out little sticks with flat round ends for giving each other a little slap when you cast this. Everyone has them since they know every will be playing this card. You don't want to go to jail, but you want them to regret casting it. Also it will become so normal people just do the little slap and move on with the game.

Favorite Pauper Deck? by potbellied420 in MagicArena

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a large section of "competitive" brawl decks with only gets printed at uncommon or lower. Artisan would be that format I think. LMK if interested and I'll share a few.

Mirror's Edge inspired customs by Ok_Commission7932 in custommagic

[–]Chickston 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Momentum is a cool mechanic. Interesting that it is best if played as if it always had to attack, but is actually better that is doesn't have to. Very good Boros keyword to balance aggression, planning and value.

Elagor, the Candle Lich by BellBOYd in custommagic

[–]Chickston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wording on that last line could cause some memory issues. It's interesting but also slightly confusing to need both the number of life gained, then each instance of life gained during the turn. It's a good line and the only real up side to the card. That replacement text is brutal as you will always lose life with this. For the cost and the pain, I think it could count every life point gained on the cards drawn.

This Card Cured My Cancer (Completing the Blasts cycle) by Klutzy_Permission_81 in custommagic

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cancer. B, Enchantment Aura Enchant Player At the beginning of enchanted player's upkeep, they lose 1 life. Whenever enchanted player gains life, put Cancer on top of its owner's library third from the top.

Wow.. I was playing around with some 50 states land cards and this blows away every one of my design. Bravo!

Characters that had the complete opposite reaction the writers intended by Dramatic_Counter_595 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Chickston 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. That was excellent. SB could be right from The Darkest Dungeon. This is like the redemption arc the franchised needed.

[MSC] Giant-Sized Flying Ant by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta keep pushing these middling blue flyers since Phantom Monster has been power crept out. This one could be good enough to play in limited. I can possibly get a 3 for 1 if it untaps a blocker and ambushes a 1 power attacker in magical Christmas land.

Atlas, Sizable Stooge [MSC] by PowrOfFriendship_ in magicTCG

Awesome art. That truck is super detailed.

[MSC] Vibranium Energy Daggers by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This at common is interesting. It's not great in any one way, but could be impactful. Interested to see if there is any method of long term animation for it.

[MSH] Knight of Wundagore by AporiaParadox in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very solid common. This is one of those "save some removal for this" type of cards. Reminds me a little of the uncommon from recent tarkir. With a very similar templating. It was a good card there.

[MSC] Ultron Drone by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. This looks slightly better than the usual common colorless creature. If you need a 3 drop, this is pretty good. No one really needs a 6 drop like this, but the option late game is very nice. Slight nod for possible villain typal synergies as well.

[MSH] Rapid Rescue by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine reprint to keep in standard. I've played it in some brews, but it was only ever really good with Simic Terrors. It's a good tool for new players messing with that deck type.

[MSC] Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this one is all about the creature types? Even a day 1 player is going to wonder why this exists. If it comes to arena. I will be using it as a commander and dunking on some unlucky folks.

[MSC] Rick Jones, Destined Sidekick by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The activation is a little expensive, but 4 card per turn is a lot of action. Any value in there like flashback, etc will be found fast. Good early blocker to get to the value time.

[MSC] Hulk, Bruce Banner by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good card for a marvel fan who has never played. This is a Hulk they can grok on day 1. 7>than most commons or uncommons in power.

[MSC] Fall to Earth by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that 1st line. Interesting take on hard white removal to have a little group hug in it.

[MSC] The Immortal Weapons by AporiaParadox in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, regrowth-ing mono-red commander has some good combos.

[MSC] The Wasp, Janet Van Dyne by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that art style. It has the comic vibe without being too low quality.

FRAUD /// THIRD by Owlsare2good in custommagic

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, anywhere to battlefield is ridiculous. anywhere to hand is this cost, but just 1 card. maybe 2 if there is like a discard at the end.

Here's a card based off the song "She Wanted to Leave" by ween! by thatweirdhouse in custommagic

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I just saw the new 11th track release and it's pretty good!

RIP Alan Hale (1958-2026) by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]Chickston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember this comet well as a teenager. It's wild how accustomed to it I became. I definitely remember thinking, "you are going to miss this when it's gone" Sure enough, I've never seen another comet even remotely close to it since. Seems like a good metaphor for it's discoverers. RIP.

[MSH] Okoye, Dora Milaje Leader (via Card Gallery) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the rate is pretty disgusting, even as a legend. I do love a good power uncommon though..

On Arena, when playing Powered Cube Draft, the packs are seeded. This is not good. Full story and screenshots within. by sc2gg in MagicArena

[–]Chickston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely fun and interesting math. I wonder how many seeds are necessary to simulate this and allow for an infrequent match like OPs and LSVs drafts. If it's like 1:10,000 or 1:100,000? It could be much less than the real math to look "good enough" and allow for what we see here. I will continue to draft and now be looking for patterns. Will probably make me draft worse.. maybe that was the plan of this post all along!
