I had a poison counter Fynn deck when he first debuted in Standard, worked fairly well. There’s even more useful tech now, so I imagine this is even better.

FormOverFunction on Pattern Recognition #380 - Skulking …

[1.] I really enjoy your posts, thank you! [2.] As a sucker for theme and flavor and all that, I REALLY enjoy skulk. It hadn’t really occurred to me that it had something of a shortcoming until reading this. The value in skulk, I think, is more theme than hard-mechanics; it’s a perfect representation of the skittering, clicking, and gentle gnawing that NONE of us want to hear while we attempt to fall asleep. Startled Awake  ^Flip is one of my favorite cards in my Haunted House deck. It would be perfect if they hadn’t (I think) forced the artist to add a dagger to its art. The relentless dread of /knowing/ it’s coming back for you is chef’s kiss. I understand that there are other examples that may not have stand-alone value, but as someone who has complained (probably too much) about the more modern “everything bagel” sort of magic cards I try to remind myself that most magic cards really shouldn’t be a complete package. I’m always stuck in my own head-canon for these games, and I love the idea of some stale semi-litch wizard handing a vial of something awful to a snooping, lurking, maybe even… skulking… one-eyed thrull who is going to shamble-wriggle his way into the shining citadel belonging to the white-red, shiny-armored battle-wizard. Even though black and blue have some of the most Colossal Whales and Cosmic Horrors they really don’t (in my mind) match the same… cultural(?) levels of blazing dragons, moss-covered gargantuan beasts and ageless angels. I like the idea of black and blue reveling in their (relatively) under-powered owls and rats; especially when all of this universe is really just laid out for us, the wizards, to choose from as we prepare to compete with one another. I hope this doesn’t come across as combative, as I 100% understand where you’re coming from on this one. This was an outstanding opportunity, though, to attempt to drag you all through what goes on in my head while I’m playing.

Also adding Alternate Win as a hub. I'm a little concerned that people will include milling or poison in this hub, but that's what trial runs are for. If anyone has a more precise name suggestion, please put it up here.

Frenzied Baloth has a lot of abilities but the vast majority of them are only extremely-situationally relevant. It is not part of the 50 most played creatures in standard, and obviously sees no play in any other formats, so the card can hardly be considered overpowered at all.

9 mana to cast a creature like Zacama, Primal Calamity is extremely steep. In modern most 6-7 cost creatures like Primeval Titan or Griselbrand just win the game immediately. Note also that in practically all formats you wouldn’t ever want to cast a card costing this much mana, because the cost its just too high. This card has the effects you should expect for something costing a whopping 9 mana.

I feel you need to find a way to apply objective metrics to determine a cards power, instead of relying on your own intuition/judgement (which, with all-die respect, seems flawed). Check out card play-rates in formats, for example. Overpowered cards are typically either over-represented in one-or-more formats, or have been banned in one-or-more formats. They’ll often also show up in decks that are just doing “goodstuff” (i.e. decks without any coherent gameplan other than just trying to out-value the opponent).
