Pia's revolution Anyone have experience with this card? I've been looking at cards in mono red or colorless that could support some kind of eggs-style deck in Goblin Game and this is basically one of the only options alongside Scrap Mastery. I'm curious what the play pattern on this actually...

does anyone else think it's kind of dumb that like every UB set has sagas

Yeah Yorion is definitely a little too good for low power cube. You should play Battle of Wits instead.

I think I'd rather incentivize people playing more of their pool with something like Yorion than with something like Worldknit. Give people a reason to try to do something specific instead of "just play all your cards in whatever color you want idk".

What really sucks about Realm is if a player drafts it early they completely warp all of the usual expectations around reading signals. Imagine trainwrecking because you couldn't reliably wheel anything and couldn't figure out what the hell your neighbor was up to and then finding out it was...

If you want a dumb idiot beater that isn't 12 million dollars there's always: Serendib Efreet Some other old ass cards I like: boomerang hypnotic specter royal assassin resurrection atog dragon whelp blazing effigy earthquake mana barbs gaea's touch regrowth elves of deep shadow juggernaut ankh...

Yeah there is definitely a lot of possibility with MDFCs for this design space. I got to play Andy Lucky Paper's Take Five cube (nearly no deck building, you only get five cuts) last week and that cube uses tons and tons of MDFCs with lands on the back to smooth the experience out. I think it...

Yeah it's a combination of things. I think technically the cube would be """better""" if I broke my own arbitrary rule and included some non-Mountain lands, and if I was doing another similar project I would probably try out a more complex landbase, but there is a lot of charm, humor, and...

I think one-of Force with no other free interaction just feels kind of bullshit. I want to either know that my opponent has shields down when they're tapped out or know that free interaction is part of the terms of engagement. Playing around a single Force just feels like nonsense gambling.

idk i haven't been thinking about this cube much lately because i'm too busy making goblins kiss each other. brawler's a bit wordy. probably plays fine. if i come back to updating this list the next step is gonna be just taking all of the stupid ass life gain+graveyard hate cards out. scooze...

Thoughts on Hurloon Minotaur hurloon minotaur One of my goals with this project was to include as many red creatures from Alpha as possible and have them be powerful, high pick cards. Obviously cards like Roc of Kher Ridges are easy to get over in an environment where your average creature has...

one might say that many of riptide lab's greatest minds have been women

You look me in the eye and you tell me that if you had an opportunity for Fire Juggler to be a reasonable card in an environment you were designing you wouldn't leap at the opportunity! Seriously though, I actually really love how much Fire Juggler "yes and"s the mechanics here. Like sure, red...

Cool design and technically fits the restrictions but I think it's just way too cracked in a way that's not very interesting here. Getting to six mana is just not that hard to do and this card simultaneously removes a threat, puts you way ahead on cards and puts the life total race out of reach...

Some thoughts on card advantage tamiyo, inquisitive studentragavan nimber pilfererocelot pridepsychic frog You guys seen this shit? Pretty crazy. Another one of my little frustrations with modern magic design is that card advantage just doesn't feel like it matters anymore. There are so many...
