Oh, I completely agree. They just have a bad habit of very rarely printing reminder text for them. Like I said, mechanically I get why they exist, think it's a good knob for R&D, and definitely prefer it to the Serra Paragon approach, but just like keyword tokens, it's not the most elegant...

this is even worse than Spider-Man for me, ugh the worst part is how much I like the designs Michelangelo, the Heart Michelangelo, the Heart Compares reasonably to Scythecat Cub in terms of how much it accelerates your team, but doing it post-combat makes it not feel quite so oppressive. I...

I've been playing this set still and I'm now trying to figure out if I'm crazy for considering this card: Spider-UK Spider-UK is very possibly the best uncommon in retail limited this decade. But can it be good in a Cube environment that's not all about web-slinging? I think yes. Do I want...

I'm currently re-testing Heliod, Sun-Crowned for minor life gain synergies and as novel midrange dude; white has more pips than other colors, and so I think the . I initially took it out shortly after release as I realized it would make players think its only purpose was for combo, and I was...

I've gotten one game away from getting an invite from the last two weekends of RCQs with Spider-Man sealed. It's fine! It's actually a lot of fun. Drafting it like normal (8-man pods) makes it less miserable. It's comparable to Strixhaven and New Capenna in that there are only 5 archetypes and...

Yeah, that's fair. I have too many lands that get got by it to feel good about putting Stifle back in, especially when I took out so much LD.

I've been a big fan of these: Tale's End Louisoix's Sacrifice Spider-Sense And have been rotating them all in and out of my Cube. Right now I'm on Louisoix's Sacrifice, since hitting all non-creature spells is really important (I've got 92 artifacts and enchantments out of 720 cards that...

Great analysis, Ravnic. I think you're on the right track here, but I wanted to take a moment to address this: It's still probably correct, since Mark said there'd be 5 supported typal archetypes IIRC. But I am holding on to some (unsubstantiated) hope that it's giants or "go big" instead as...

I got 3rd place in a Spider-Man limited RCQ. Top 8 was a full 8-person draft and it was...wonky. Half of us were in three-color decks because it was very hard to do enemy colored combinations and there weren't enough straight 2-color decks available at most seats. That said, I was able to pull...

Honestly, yeah. I'm playing Chivalric Alliance and it might be a nice alternative that cuts down on a unique token, but generally it does the same thing (with upside!).

To be clear, the leaks were 100% right, even about Star Trek. I'm stoked about that but it feels like a monkey paw thing with the office and the furby secret lairs also announced....... Base version looks good. I like it a lot. Still......way too much text. Love the reminder text.

A better -- though much more complicated to read -- Searslicer Goblin. I like that she's legendary and can get an extra damage in on turn 2 if you played a 1-drop. I don't like that she's "Ellie" or a "brick master" or, most importantly, that she makes a stupid token type. Will need to evaluate...

New basic lands!!! The art on these are all-timer quality...but disappointingly, they're not going to be. It doesn't seem like there's a non-foil version, especially considering how busy and awful it looks with the Chocobo stamp and the tacky footprints. New scene cards! I love the art...

I mean, we got Ajani, Strength of the Pride in a Core Set in 2019. Llanowar Mentor was 2007, even if Future Sight shouldn't count for such matters. I know they were long resistant to do tokens for lands because of how players are so sloppy with tokens and it's hard to be 100% clear of the...

Currently in my on-deck binder because of this: I do miss control having a Elspeth, Sun's Champion type card that very much resets the aggro players stance. Control has gotten much worse in the average Cube that's following new set releases these last five years, because so many creatures...
