https://lackeybot.herokuapp.com/msem/search?q=cursory%20glance It's really good! It would definitely be one of the better cards in a standard format, it might have to be one of those pitched at modern cards, butit's not like, out of the stratosphere.

Me, every day for the last 14 years

So sometimes your cube keeps you up until 3am, cards whizzing around your mind Sometimes you draft your cube, weeks fly by in a blur, and then you draft your cube again and realize you hadn't made any of the changes you talked about last time! Including adding enough cards to support 10...

Bootman {T} is the original "once per turn" clause :P

Hell yeah dude! I wonder how much resistance to duplicates comes from actual "this is how we've always done it" thoughts, subconscious or otherwise, and how much comes from people who never get to play or edit their cubes, and end up thinking that every change they make needs to be this rosetta...

Yeah knowing how many you want of a thing is the place to start The card that sold me on duplicates is rishadan port. I was initially running Strip Mine/Wasteland/Rishadan port/Tectonic Edge, and that felt like a good density, but strip mine was too much, and I hate playing with and against...

Damning with fine praise

Oh hey it's another Bear (that isn't a bear) that makes a bear (that isn't a bear)

The most cogent argument I've seen in opposition of this change is "We can't trust WOTC with the game design/balance of the game, so any important change is likely to worsen the game"

A surprisingly common interpretation (I thought this as well before I built the deck)

This card was the first thing I ever built a deck around! Target yourself, and you probably get instant threshold, enabling werebear, nimble mongoose, and a host of other Odyssey block beaters!

Mutavault gets the nod for me for fitting in with a million little things, and not blocking as a 3/3 That gets people sometimes.

On the other hand, there's definitely been some success stories from the invitational: This is honestly one of my favorite ones. Resilient but not invincible, gets better as you draft more of a niche token type (which itself also buffs those cards a bit), artifact synergy but in a subtle way...

Got together to draft this again yesterday, and it was a blast! Had a few new people come out and had positive feedback from the people who hadn't drafted this before. But funny story: while patching this weekend, I was crashing out, frustrated that no matter how hard I tried, more people would...
