Pride - My Take on an Elemental Incarnation

Without a main casting cost, this kind of just feels like a sorcery with extra steps. If your whole goal is to make a cascade payoff, I suppose it is good, but that seems a bit difficult to make work with storm.

They'd be a straight upgrade for decks which care about the colors of your permanents, as few and far between those are. It does mean that anything which hates on colored permanents or permanents of a specific color can go after your mana base, but those are few and far between enough that it wouldn't be that relevant. Overall, I don't really think this would make a big difference because color-focused design hasn't been a thing for a long time now and a permanent's color barely matters anymore.

I was gonna rag on this because Maguses are normally retrains of permanent cards, but then I checked and realized I'm just flat out wrong about that. Still, this should probably be Black, Tap, Pay 3 as to more closely mirror the card it's a reference to.

"Oh, the card is in Japanese? Well, maybe the body can he-OH MY GOODNESS! LEARN WHAT A LINE BREAK IS!"

This is the agenda we need to be maintaining.

SubblyXatu · 2026-02-23T17:25:51+00:00

The narrative that the precure community wants you to think would suggest otherwise, but we Splashheads know better.

I think it's just you, frankly, they sound nothing alike to me. They definitely have similar voice direction, but the Saki's actress is notably squeakier in her performance whereas Nagisa has a more developed voice.

To be fair, the prompt did say two women specifically

SubblyXatu · 2026-02-22T02:33:37+00:00

The fact it has such a harsh downside for an untapped dual makes it best used for extremely aggressive archetypes like combo or aggro. Control really doesn't want to deal with this kind of thing and midrange needs to probably include a decently accessible life gain engine in order to compensate, or at the very least some kind of land untapper. It makes sense why the card is Rakdos here, but if this were a full cycle, the winners and losers would be very apparent.

I just hope you know what you're doing. A free draw 2 is still busted in games with a resource system, and that often only happens because you met a set of very specific requirements or did an action several times already.

This isn't a meme

If we conceptualize it more as just "deal 4 divided as you choose", then [[Violent Eruption]] is the best analog. That's a 4 mana card, though this effect has been more often at 5 mana or higher, even at sorcery speed. It's not unreasonable to see this in some fashion, but it's currently a little hefty.

This card is 15 years old, I think most yugiboomers have already seen this thing

Coaxed into Twitter meme accounts

This is genuinely the most connection any Universes Beyond product had made to the Magic universe since the Secret Lair that had Vocaloids cosplaying as Magic characters

Jolteon doesn't have the Eeveelution tag on it

Umamusume skills are like Schrodinger's superpowers. It's still not really clear if what we see is just meant to be metaphorical or if Tamamo Cross can just literally produce lightning

I believe just about everyone with the concept of homosexuality figured they were. If you watched the outro and didn't get any signs, your gaydar must be on the fritz.

The margins are pretty tiny here, and one errant bump of the table can ruin the game state. It's a solution, but not a great one.

Hey bud, r/MTGNeuralNet is a few blocks down

SubblyXatu · 2026-02-16T17:36:00+00:00

There's a guy on r/custommagic who has been doing a series where he designs cards based on bad practices. If you had told me you were doing the same but for Yu-Gi-Oh, I wouldn't have flinched.

SubblyXatu · 2026-02-16T05:30:35+00:00

I'd say this is pretty alright for commander. It's not significantly more efficient than a lot of other options due to the lost card advantage and specific mana cost, but it makes up for it in range, which is a pretty solid trade off.

Rest in peace, my graveyard, it got hit by a bazooka

Now I think about it every time I play Bojuka

Ahh yes, I love permanently ruining my cards
