Thoughts on some recent adds goblin replica It's important to strangle the hell out of artifact removal rate here so that Shatter can be an insane bomb. Cool with Junk Diver et al. Thematically spooky. Who is the metal stranger. ogre savant Really bad card. rummaging goblin You can imagine...

Yeah I have thought about this card. It is a very cool dream although based on my drafts so far I think paying WUBRG is nearly impossible, so it would probably mostly just get played as a ramp target.

Invoke Calamity is definitely an interesting callout. Right now I'm playing Mizzix's Mastery as a similar card and it has been a big crowd pleaser, could definitely see also including Invoke as a secondary version of that effect. I try not to include too many ways to "cheat" on off-color costs...

Yeah the offering cards are quite cool but they don't really do the thing that the off-color emerge cards do where they're playing with the cube's gimmick by being weaker rates with only red mana and more powerful when you have drafted your fixing, that's the appeal to me moreso than the "sac a...

Thoughts on some recent cuts Mimic So badass as a secret bomb p1p1 tier card for goblin game ball knowers but this thing was just too good in the lame kind of way. I initially thought that the fixing was the x-factor here but after playing with it more, a 3/3 that dodges hammer at this rate is...

are you guys really doing this again

Joe's World Championship Museum cube is like this and it seems to work out well! Haven't played it myself but I know a lot of folks who have and say it was a lot of fun.

Pretty helpful write-up, I'll definitely be thinking on this! I probably completely glossed over Nettle Drone and Molten Nursery when looking through cards once or twice because I am Devoid's number one hater and it is a fake mechanic to me, but gameplay-wise the incentives are pretty cool and...

This is just how it is drafting the cube with bots, it doesn't actually play out this way in drafts with real people. The bots don't understand how to draft lands in the cube at all, some of them will take off-color cards as if they can cast them with basics and then there's always like 2 or 3...

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...
