Most of my favorites were already mentioned (really happy to see some love for Soldevi Adnate!), but there's a few left that are still relevant in modern Magic! I love love love the aesthetic of these sets in particular, I think the game lost that sauce after the Mirage block, even if I still do...

This doesn't seem like an issue to me. The Occasionals don't need to be defining what's best to do, they're supposed to be fun alternative directions to go. At a Cube event, you're getting two different biases: a higher intent to win from the players than you'd normally get at a casual Cube...

It was a founding member of my Cube in 2011. It wasn't hard to cut it, but I always liked centaurs and was disappointed they didn't stay a relevant creature type in Magic as it got more "big". It's a great Cube card too for lists where the power-level is.

Tagging in @TrainmasterGT for the includes thread, but in the meantime, Steve's tier list is compelling as always, even without the written analysis. Cards he's rated well that I haven't touched on yet: Jennifer Walters The Sensational She-Hulk Jennifer Walters is one of the more talked-about...

Stealing cards from your opponents can be fun. You can see this in the fact that Gonti, Lord of Luxury is one of the most-Cubed black creature across the history of Magic according to CubeCobra (#14 out of 2,825 as of writing!). The pushed Dauthi Voidwalker is not far behind. While your...

Kind of following up on Shamizy's idea, cards that reward you for attacking or getting in like these might help, that are fundamentally "go-wide" but let every little token of yours stay a threat: Sphere Grid Bloodforged Battle-Axe Tale of Katara and Toph Warrior's Resolve Beastmaster Ascension...

Oh thank goodness, yeah, no wonder I forgot about these. I'm actually a little disappointed these exist if only because they make the "gross there's TEN iron man cards????" crowd feel vindicated. Who cares. There being one or ten is equally annoying to me, but it's just so boring to hear the...

The Wakanda Forever! deck is revealed. It had been my most anticipated of the bunch because of the GW artifacts theme, but it's by far the least interesting, thanks to a heavy focus on the Monarch mechanic. Of the ~15 unique cards for the deck, 8 of them reference the monarch and 4 of them are...

We also still have the scene boxes, which tend to have some of the most novel designs. This cluster of sets is actually too big, even for me. It's not helped by the Core Set-styled design of the main set, where legendary creatures have never felt more arbitrary, even compared to Spider-Man. I...

I think they were being intentional to not make a black "Black Panther" for a lot of reasons that make sense to me, even if I don't fully agree. I haven't read his comics, but from the movies, I would 100% have made him Abzan. The Doom deck is out and it's pretty interesting. Molecule Manis...

Medusa, Inhuman Queen is a baby Managorger Hydra...for the same cost. Obviously, trample is the best ability to have on a stat monster, but vigilance is not half bad either. Managorger Hydra is not that interesting to me, but it is run in over 10,000 Cubes. I think Cubes that like the Hydra...

I'm calling it a "worse Nettlecyst" in the context where you don't have a board. I think it's much better in the average deck since it doesn't require you to have the artifact deck to be sweet, and it's about even-to-better in the artifact deck, which tends to not have too many creatures but...

Appreciate y'all capturing many of the cards I had pulled aside but ran out of attachments for. I really should've just waited for Scryfall to catch up, but I was excited! Speaking of, full main set's up! Some cards I haven't mentioned yet that I'm keen on are: We Say Thee Nay! We Say Thee...

CONTINUED!! Let's start with the cards I'm most seriously considering for my main Cube: Hell yeah. Best friends with recent Cube darlings that I can't stop talking about here like Marauding Mako, Ivora, Insatiable Heir, and Cool but Rude. Red's discarding a lot of cards these days in my...

Jumpstart has now been all spoiled, all 185 new cards! Some interesting cards. I reviewed all of them so you don't have to. (Part 1 of 2) General Thunderbolt Ross is the kind of one-drop I'd really like....a few years ago. It's pretty close to a white Signal Pest that also can attack as a 2/1...
