Ensnaring Bridge

Cabal Therapy Trivia

A few things to get off my chest, some good, some not: Cycling is awesome, the invocations are second only to inventions, I love far future references, I think it's nice to see commons and uncommons as early previews, and, since I won't have access to electricity on my birthday for voluntary reasons, could you give me a little bit of trivia about one of my favorite cards, Cabal Therapy or Ensnaring Bridge?

Cabal Therapy was called Go Fish in design. I had previously tried to print it without the flashback but it was too weak.Happy Birthday!

Red vs. Enchantments

In the eternal Red vs. Enchantments debate, let's look at this from another angle: fun. When playing a Red deck and my friend drops Worship, I scoop. When my friend plays a mono-Black deck and I drop Ensnaring Bridge, he scoops. Neither of us haves fun. Both end up feeling bad. I am thankful for cards like Nevinyrral's Disk and "mistakes" like Chaos Warp (which is actually rather red: getting rid of a problem with no regard for the consequences). They give us a fighting chance.

Playing monocolor is supposed to leave you open to vulnerabilities. It’s the thing that pushes you to play more than one color. (The mana system is the force that pushes in the opposite direction.) Your mono-Red deck has problem with Worship? Splash a second color to deal with it.

Appreciating Maligned Cards

Threshold, Madness, Hellbent; Ensnaring Bridge, Crucible of Worlds; reanimate decks. One with Nothing is far from useless for a creative player. I own good Rares passed over by others in draft for a better in-colour card, and a chance to win, so wasted money on a bad Rare isn’t a universal argument. Power players use fewer cards. Many won’t use 80% of 10,000+ printed cards. Why focus on one card? I use a wider variety of cards and like many maligned cards. I love Leveler too. Thank you.

Agreed. And I too love Leveler. As a friend, of course.
