    Living Compliment 4UU
    Creature - Illusion (R)
    Lieutenant - As long as you control your commander and your commander is a creature, Living Compliment is a copy of your commander except that it is not legendary and it's power and toughness are 8/8.

    Koopa - Oona's Trick: Feels like it is probably on a weak side, since while you'll sometimes get four or five faeries, a bunch of times you'll come up empty. Helps to be constantly looking at the enemy hand, of course.

    Hemlock - These are two very simple effects put together, but in a way that obviously synergizes very well and fits the legend solidly.

    Gateways7 - Marchesa's Coronation: Generally, I'd advise against using mechanics from weird narrow sets like this because people are often not very familiar with them. Doesn't seem like white is really necessary. Might have worked better to exile the creature instead.

    bravelion83 - Larion's Research: Two straightfoward abilities that blue can do stapled together on a card. It's a bit hard to maximize, but when you fill your graveyard which cheap draw spells first it is a real beast.

    Subject16 - Miralda's Blasphemy: A very solid single-target removal that'll quite often be a one-sided board sweeper. Price is probably right, although it'd feel safer at 5 mana for sure.

    Flintlock - Azoth's Draught: The flavor makes sense, and makes it powerful removal for the price. Manages to capture a bit of body horror in card form, which is difficult.

    Top 3:

    1. Flintlock

    2. Subject16

    3. Hemlock

  • posted a message on Holy ****, this game sucks as a "new" player
    And as you play you'll unlock a bunch of two-color decks which are likewise great for stripping down. The B/W deck may not be great, but it's got a lot of useful bits in it.

  • posted a message on Rat Colony decks legal for singeton?
    A lot of it is probably because they dumped real cash into it for random other fun, and that just leaves them with a lot of good singleton cards.
