I was super stoked by Red Marwyn to the point that I kind of ignored Marwyn, the Preserver! Marwyn, the Preserver A 3/2 for 2 is a great place to start, but I've been trying for years to find a Cartographer that makes sense in my Cube since I have so much self-mill and fetching going on. I ran...

Commander deck is out and it's a little too Commander-y for me, which is probably a good thing considering the absurd amount of cards the main set is giving me. It's basically a Polymorph deck, with all of its creatures as massive multiplayer finishers. Really neat, but not too helpful for me...

Getting a Basri's Solidarity on price as a failsafe is a pretty good way to make a hydra into a split card. This seems much better than Mikaeus, the Lunarch, who I think is still totally fine, since getting your first hit on the turn you play it makes it significantly more impactful to the board...

Traxos, Academy Guardian is sweet. Reminds me a lot of Illusory Angel, who was in my Cube for 6-7 years back in the day. Unfortunately, it's probably worse, but I can't help but love this card's design and sensibilities. I love how it tells you what kind of deck to make with it in so few words...

Darklight Phoenix is such a cool card. I fear that my love of it will be singular in my playgroup, like the often in-and-out Vengevine, but perhaps this what was needed to put that deck over-the-top. Maybe I will get that self-milling 1-drop in too. I've been waiting for our Good Boy! I'm not...

I've been more aggressively testing cards during spoiler season, and right now I'm looking to include 18 cards of those spoiled so far, with more on my watch list that simply need a swap I'm comfortable with. My change-log is here, and as you can see, it's mostly replacement-level cards going in...

I've been away from my computer all week but I have Many Feelings about this set, most of them positive. Maybe it's an overreaction to the deluge of UB we get, but I feel like I now love the self-indulgent fanservice sets more than ever before, and this one feels more reasonable than seeing Oko...

I also love earthbending and so yes, I've tried out both of these cards. I adore Bumi's Feast Lecture. It's been in my Cube twice and will return for sure, likely alongside Gourmand's Talent, Many Partings, and Spider-Ham, Peter Porker. I have Leaves from the Vine in its place at the moment...

A massive mistake I corrected immediately after seeing your comment in May. I removed Seymour as well at some point to bring back Sentinel of the Nameless City, but I imagine I'll eventually bring it back as a more clear +1/+1 counters supporter in green over maybe something like Sandstorm...

I still run it, but not because it's ideal. It's a very exciting cheat target, and like you mentioned, it can play with Loyal Retainers, which I like quite a bit. It's got tons of history and emotional resonance, and because of the high cost that comes with it, it's something your opponent can...

Flame of Anor is my favorite. I love that it's a totally fine card as a floor that usually does exactly what you need it to, but you feel invincible if you have a wizard lying around. A little more than 25% of my blue section is Wizards, plus two of my red cards, a few others, and, of course...

you assume me to be far too smart, though I do agree I meant my red section is not spell-focused enough for this, it has too big of themes for discard, tokens, and artifacts to properly focus on spells-matter and big spells

I put it in my list for this exact purpose, and swapped in Jeskai Revelation for my Jeskai slot for maximum Tablet-ing. It lasted a few weeks, but I took it out before it got an in-person test because I kept seeing Cursed Mirror in packs and realizing most decks wanted that one more, and it felt...

Nesting Dovehawk Mondrak, Glory Dominus I've been playing Mondrak, Glory Dominus since it came out. My EDH-pilled playgroup loves it. They love tokens, they love doubling things. (To this point, I've had a few players ask me to replace Sun Titan with Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation). But it...
