Miles got there first but Rx Discard has picked up more substantial tools than almost any other archetype in any colour in recent years and those two-drops + three-drops are a great core for aggro and midrange alike. Special shout-out to Sabin, which flies under the radar as a recent printing...

DRAFT REPORT - JUNE 2026 Our monthly all-day Cube-a-thon gave me another chance to draft, this time a pod of 7 with a lot of first-timers: 5c Lurrus Control Gr Ramp (me) UB Mid GW Survival WB Sac/Reanimator BR Mid UWR Prowess/Control Ones 1 Mox Amber 1 Mishra's Bauble 1 Chromatic Star Twos...

MARVEL This first (of many!) batch of Marvel releases has so many cards that you'd expect some to be interesting but there's a decent haul here even given that baseline. Aesthetically every character being a Named Legend is quite jarring but that's not categorically different from many normal...

The logistics can be annoying but I love these effects. They inherently add variety to how the games play out and make it uniquely sensitive to the contents of both decks; it's true that the average card in their deck is worse than the average card in yours but the exceptions make for...

The Commander decks are predictably full of bangers too; The Fantastic Four deck spreading Prowess-y stuff across four colours leads to some really nice stuff and I'm keen to see what the Villains deck offers Grixis (as long as isn't too parochial re. Villain tribal etc). Some more on top of...

One of my faves from the past year: The Warring Triad

The trend of the Jumpstart sets being goldmines even if the main set flops continues! This fails the Firebolt test or whatever but has a lot of cool stuff going on. Mainly I wanted to highlight how neat power-up is with anything that cheats costs, blink etc - I want to find an excuse to...

Okoye, Mighty and Adored Clear GW #1 for power-maxers but a very neat card in general IMO

DRAFT REPORT - MAY 2026 Another packed house and pod of 10 - for this one I tried giving everyone a Cogwork Librarian to start since I've enjoyed that in other Cubes and it makes a lot of sense in a heavy synergy format. I'm a bit frustrated with myself for not carving out time to actually...

Zenith is much more interesting IMO

Worth noting that Arcanist doesn't play well with Exalted, the target has to be valid as its trigger goes on the stack before 'when you attack...' triggers can resolve

SECRETS OF STRIXHAVEN I love the setting of Strixhaven and like the vibes of the set but I think I mostly have the same complaints as last time? Silverquill's aggressive + targeting theme is a really unique twist on what BW can do but idk if any of the cards compel me individually or together...

Do we know why a lot of card image tags randomly don't work any more?

NEW YORK: NEON DYNASTY (ft. turtles) This set unironically slaps! It's amazing that we're revisiting this plane so soon after Spider-Man but that is canonically one of the most popular sets ever**. If it had a vaguely fantasy-related aesthetic/IP I think it would be hailed as a Good Set (better...

More Magic cards have hit the printers LORWYN ECLIPSED The long overdue visit to Lorwyn matched the whimsy of the original but also some of its insularity from a Cube perspective - a tribal theme for all but the broadest tribes (Humans) is unlikely to crossover, and there isn't much that...
