Sets The Hobbit
- Thread starter Velrun
- Start date
I will riot if there's no Secret Lair featuring screengrabs from the 1970's Rankin Bass animated movie.
I am a little annoyed how much I love both Bilbos because it means my blue two-drops will be so heavy on one character.

Happy to see Sauron's Ransom that doesn't temp you, I've wanted that card since Ransom got spoiled.
Edit: The split and choose roles are inverted apparently. I think that makes it worse, but I don't think it greatly influences my desire to cube with it.

I like FOF mini-game cards, they're always fun to play with, but giving your opponent the choice makes this more in line with Steam Augury which is less appealing to me. But at three mana and instant speed? Probably worth trying out and seeing what's up before writing it off.
I'll never understand how you can make all these cuts with dozens of changes every release

The real answer? I just have 720 cards and do bot practice drafts 10x a week minimum. I have an ever-evolving sense for what cards I like and don't like in my list for various archetypes, and message the group regularly about it too.
There are about 40 cards that I am aware are not "right" for what I'm trying to do in my Cube. My gut sense of this is challenged regularly by my daily note-taking and the CubeCobra draft stats. I am constantly looking at the recommender algorithm for what my Cube is up to and what similar Cubes and/or Cubes by smarter people than me are doing. Of the 40, I haven't emotionally agreed to make half of those cuts, and often will double-down on them to see if I can't salvage them by adding more support before I actually cut them.
But yeah, it's very easy for me to have 20 cards removed at a moment's notice. When I cut more than that, it's usually more a matter of reversing some previous swaps I'd made.
It's like this is some kind of hobby for you instead of like a constantly forgotten wretched beast you keep in the woodshed and feed raw meat twice a year. Odd.
Hey, I take offense to that.
My wretched beast lives in my house and I'm the one in the shed being fed twice a year.
