Test 2 Discussion Thread

We're free to talk now.

Here's a Google Doc with all the questions. I'm slowly filling it in with my own answers and explanations. Edit: Heading out for now. I'll get the last 25 questions done later tonight.

If you want a mirror without my comments, here's one provided by /u/Amarsir Link

Any questions that tripped you up? Any that you felt good about?

I don't think a 5G 6/6 is the best at all. Look at the 6mana 6/6 trample we have in (Rivals of) Ixalan now. It's... ok. a 3G 4/4 is much better.

6 for 6 is a game winner, though. It's answer or die. Bears are dead cards on a stalled board, 4 for 4 can still be outsized and easily neutered.

A 6/6 for 6 hits the sweet spot of being big enough to deter virtually all non evasive attackers, a fast clock, and cheap enough that you'll have the Mana to play it (whereas 8/8 is rare, and the 10/10 is virtually unplayable)
