I had interpreted this as a magical equivalent of legal deposit, where cast spells rather than printed materials must be sent to a library. Typically these are national libraries but may be academic libraries such as the University of Cambridge or Lund University. There are only 7,220 instants...

Am I correctly interpreting this post that you have already decided not to include any of the cards?

How are people pronouncing Repartee? From content creators to LGS casuals, most seem to pronounce it as pronounce it as reh-par-tay or reparté if it were written in the French from which it originated (it is not written like that in French, it is actually written répartie). I have always...

How does a dude that buff have the same stats as a squirrel?

Wasn’t it in three of the original commander precon decks? Typical of a lot of commander cards it is overpowered in 1-v-1 and comes with a lot of rules baggage.

Interesting that the designers went back to cascade for Quandrix rather than the "fixed" discover. I'm a bit disappointed that we aren't finding out about new Faculties at Strixhaven.

How do you get this to a 4/4 with Faithless Looting? Moonshadow loses a counter for each instance of permanents going to the yard, not one counter per permanent card.

Armageddon is a combo with Boros Charm. I also recommend Enduring Renewal as a surprisingly flexible combo enabler.

Nevinyrral's Disk leaves planeswalkers untouched, which may be a good thing or not depending on your cube. Oblivion Stone destroys everything, and used to be good when I ran it in draw-go control decks: if your opponent didn't play something for fear of overcommitting/being countered you could...

How close to the truth am I if I imagine the Hawaiian version of this?

I don’t know all the details but that looks like a reasonably healthy metagame.

Hazoret the Fervent and Twinshot Sniper are both cards I would recommend. The Sniper is particularly good at helping with delirium and discard strategie, in case that matters. I used to run Pia and Kiran Nalaar but found the activated ability a little bit too expensive. Another card I used to...

I also had a lot of fun at the pre-release, the first I've been too since Kamigawa Neon Dynasty. I went with my son, who loves the show, and he had a great time too. I opened a copy of Avatar Aang which meant that I had to run a 4-colour deck. I won the event quite undeservedly, having no mana...

I think the red version would be more like “until the end of turn/your next turn you don’t lose the game for having 0 or less life”. Captures the spirit of a berserker who keeps fighting despite their injuries.

I don’t think the Ravnicans really believe that the Dimir were destroyed, they just like to pretend that UB doesn’t exist.
