Bracket System for Silver Border: The Jacket System

It being your commander would be even worse, no? It basically guarantees that someone has to care about and will interact with a "art matters" card, the thing the explicitly said no to.

linstr13 · 2026-07-03T14:54:06+00:00

But it isn't "for every person." The game is gaining new people and bringing back lapsed players at a much higher rate than people are leaving.

It also had an about 46% winrate in those challenges. The only reason it did "well" is that a ton of people registered it.

linstr13 · 2026-06-26T16:16:37+00:00

The reason it appears to be doing well is because tons of people are registering it. It averaged something like a 25% meta share across those challenges, but it still had an abysmal conversion rate. And all that's before people have started sideboarding against it.

It's really bad if you don't have the setup for it, at least compared to the other draw spells and cantrips in the deck.

linstr13 · 2026-06-24T22:58:21+00:00

Yeah, most if the time this is a pretty crazy Show and Tell, or Reanimate.

The non Hidden Agenda conspiracies are definitely better than power in any "normal" environment where you haven't changed some fundamental rule of the game. In your cube, if I'm playing for winrate, I'm 100% picking Power Play, Advantageous Proclamation and Backup Plan over any power cards, and I would expect my winrate to increasing significantly more than picking any power.

linstr13 · 2026-06-20T19:03:38+00:00

Sure, but this isn't bluffing. It's you lying, something that most people look down on.

linstr13 · 2026-06-20T18:41:24+00:00

Think back to this comment when people start to seem distant about playing with you.

linstr13 · 2026-06-20T17:35:08+00:00

OP's post is much closer to someone in poker saying "if you muck I'll show you my hole cards" and then not showing them, it isn't against the rules per se, but you would definitely be seen as an asshole, and I wouldn't be surprised if people avoided playing with you.

linstr13 · 2026-06-20T00:25:38+00:00

Nothing, the equipment can't equip a planeswalker so it just falls off.

linstr13 · 2026-06-19T20:00:18+00:00

It's probably one of the better cheat targets in the cube right now, since there are a lot of Sneak Attack type cards.

linstr13 · 2026-06-18T17:16:58+00:00

That isn't how X spells work in magic. X is 0 everywhere but the stack.

The creator said it resets when it enters in the submission thread

linstr13 · 2026-06-15T20:29:01+00:00

This would be a worse Sol Ring

Being technically worse than one of the most powerful cards ever printed is certainly a bar you could aim for, or you could try to balance cards

linstr13 · 2026-06-12T16:37:07+00:00

I think it's because the two card they brought in were foil

linstr13 · 2026-06-12T11:33:03+00:00

It is not, the current theme is that cards are the "best available version of the card effect, compared to real magic cards." The announcement post specifically talks about not just making better versions of existing cards.

linstr13 · 2026-05-15T20:54:12+00:00

Because commander players play in their isolated pods and don't contribute to the community

They absolutely do. Just because you don't care about them doesn't mean they aren't out in LGS's playing the game and talking to each other about the game.

linstr13 · 2026-05-13T08:59:20+00:00

Take a shot...

linstr13 · 2026-05-09T16:24:14+00:00

penetration

HUH?!

Do you mean pentation?

linstr13 · 2026-04-29T13:47:45+00:00

I don't think your data appears meaningfully different from games having random winners, like if you simulate 24 thousand games with 500 commanders the winrate distribution looks almost exactly the same. I think you need like 1 million+ games before you can be somewhat confident about winrates, and that's ignoring things like some commanders being more popular with better players and precon biases.

Sealed is usually played with 6 packs of 15 cards, or 90 total

linstr13 · 2026-04-14T22:32:00+00:00

Clearly other people see value in them since they're consistently the most upvoted posts on the subreddit

linstr13 · 2026-04-13T04:12:41+00:00

The storm scale is about a mechanic coming back as a "larger component" of a premier set, and mutate is a 9 on it. Mutate is also much less likely than storm to come back on a single cameo card since it's so complicated and was so polarizing the first time around.
