Community

Scryfall acquires MagicCards.info; CommanderCast weeps.

C18 full deck lists spoiled

New cards we’re excited for:

• Windgrace’s Judgment
• Endless Atlas
• Entreat the Dead
• Ravenous Slime
• Treasure Nabber
• Whiptongue Hydra
• Enchanter’s Bane

Solid reprints:

• Enchantress’s Presence

*crickets*

• Entreat the Angels?
• Duplicant
• Silent-Blade Oni

Strategy

Why a lower mana curve is important and why the mana curve of your deck is probably too high (this originally autocorrected to “man’s curve,” by the way, and doubtless would have resulted in a much different segment).

Tips:

• Draw, ramp, and removal should cost 3 or less.
• Make cuts from the top of the curve first (and pair down redundancy here, too).

Technology

Return of an old segment: “Break My Card”

Cards that seem like they might have “Johnny potential,” but need a little help to work.

• Astral Slide
• Divine Presence
• Skirge Familiar
• Witch Engine
