DemonDragonJ on Is Black Allowed to have …

3 weeks ago

"Punisher" effects, effects that force a player to choose between multiple equally unpelasant options, have been part of this game for many years, and are usually found in black and red, such as Browbeat, Tyrannize, Choice of Damnations, or Painful Quandary, but Mark Rosewater mentioned in these two posts that red is allowed to have "punisher" effects, but that black is not, a philosophy with which I disagree, because black has always been the color that most focuses on cruelty and malice, and there have been two cards in recent sets, Starseer Mentor and Perforating Artist, that have "punisher" effects, so I am wondering what the general opinion of other players is, on this matter.

What does everyone else say, about this subject? Do you believe that black should have "punisher" effects? I certainly am interested to hear your opinions, on this matter.

DemonDragonJ on Divinity of Pride or Starseer …

5 months ago

I have two copies of Divinity of Pride in my black and white casual/60-card deck, but I am contemplating replacing them with two copies of Starseer Mentor, because, as great as the divinity is, it is merely a flying beater, whereas the mentor has a very nice ability, so I would like to ask everyone else here for advice on this situation.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Divinity of Pride with Starseer Mentor?

I have replaced Angel of Despair with Starseer Mentor, which reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 3.98 to 3.85, and I was very reluctant to make that change, since Angel of Despair is one of my favorite cards in the entire game, but the mentor is a better match for the theme of this deck, so I made that change.
