I agree on both counts. Shadow Shadow have a great mechanic, their spells were done very well, and there are so many cards in Magic World in general that are playable in several styles, that they were very effective from the get go.

Blade Beasts, obviously less so, but I hope they continue to get support. I love the actual history behind the idea, and that each are also their own sword, even if it gets in the way of creating more Monsters and support.

Also, FutureKnightX is absolutely on point in talking about varying and possible options. I usually talk in the hypothetical when looking at cards that are just coming out and either have value in and of themselves that I see potential for, or have made previous cards suddenly more playable.

The World I am most familiar with is Katana is Katana, so I naturally think of possibilities, but unless I specifically list a recipe with detailed results, all I'm doing is floating possibilities of builds or combos that may work. The hope is that someone might get an idea from it or try something fun.

Like many people, before purchasing cards, I'd recommend testing them on "dummies" you can print or write on paper and place in front of commons you have lying around. Of course, you can always use a sim as well, but while I value sims\ enough to make the Mac Port of BF Area, there really is no substitute for using actual cards. They've never been able to successfully replicate the shuffling of real cards, which can throw things off a bit for rigorous testing, but it is great to be able to play virtually anytime, and I've enjoyed opening two windows and testing against myself as well.

That's my long disclaimer to any ideas I put out ther. I might be a father of 6, but I still get giddy over new cards and just can't help myself;)
