    Yeah, even if these are like 50% slush art from Duskmourn and New Capenna, these are generally a big improvement in terms of flavor. Like with the Arena-only pieces, the quality of art is a little looser than what usually makes it into a psychical booster pack, but there are some inspired...

    I expected it to go live with their daily refresh of the mothership alongside Mark's article, but I can't find anything. They've said the card gallery will go up today, so I guess we're just waiting.

    General [SPM] Spooder Man Testing/Inclues Thread

    I think it's really important to note the distinction in the two cards: Iron Spider is a powerful card even outside of the counters decks, and is maybe too powerful for many Cubes around here. The Vigilance is the real thing -- it will almost always attack as at least a 3/4 for 3 colorless, and...

    As someone who primarily plays retail limited, dislikes Spider-Man, and likes Magic as a game of fantasy, I hate this set. As a Cube curator, I am thrilled for these mechanical pieces for my Cube. Favorites Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade Hobgoblin, Mantled Marauder Heroes' Hangout Iron Spider is...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    He's always been a favorite, but I think he's the most compelling planeswalker in 2025. Certainly the most important card in Izzet for me! Artifacts play a pretty big role in my Cube to the point that it's never a dead ability, even if YMMV. The key is really the draw two, discard two, which an...

    My Cube is my Zen Garden. My unending reach for perfection means I thrive by trying out all new technology. I love new cards. I love spoiler season. Hell, I even love UB: I think that the build-in storylines and love for the IP make for more interesting designs on average than we'd get starting...

    I feel like I'm amongst the most positive about this set from a design POV but I really do feel this sentiment in my bones. This morning I wanted to look at the last 4 spoilers and I saw this and felt a pit in my stomach: It's an ideal card for my Cube. I really, really like the design...

    If you could change your opponents' dudes, I'd certainly be playing the card! Looks like they've spoiled all the rares/mythics and there's only 4 cards left. It really does feel like a small set, but I seem to have a surprisingly large amount of cards I'm interested in, which is annoying...

    I liked Talon Gates of Madara for being a land able to ramp into itself but found the card too narrow. This lets you do the same thing for just two mana, and returning a creature to your hand is often going to feel like an upside rather than otherwise. The fact that the card needs to be tapped...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Hop to It Aerith Rescue Mission Cloudgoat Ranger Cloudgoat Ranger gives you a 3/3 you can make into a dragon in addition to the 3 1/1s! Pretty comparable to Elspeth, and that was a change I looked to make back in the day.

    You couldn't be more right, maybe my favorite card of the set so far. I really like how you get until the end of your next turn, so it really does compare reasonably well with Opera Love Song (but I will be playing both for sure). The Patrol Night ability might only be used 10-20% of the time...

    looks like a trap, and one that my drafters will fall into ...will test I love being singleton (with my one exception) and I have a big Cube. So I'll take a 4th Terramorphic Expanse. I wonder how many of these I'd run? Probably 7, so 1 in 100 cards? I think this is really good. Way too...

    The Infinity symbol being missing is a huge loss to the card's coolness factor. But I think the Terminus looks cool (very Helvault-adjacent), and I'm fully expecting them to build out the lore of them. I totally get your complaint more broadly, but I think it's fine here. I got really excited...

    I'm down to 16 out of 720 cards, or 2.2% of my list. I was at ~40 out of 540 at one point (7.4%), and games regularly revolved around them as they were also the best cards in my Cube without question. My players complained. I had two anti-Walker diehards who advocated for their complete...

    Sorry to double-post, but we got a few of our first Through the Omenpaths versions and I hope they eventually upload a really high-res version, because I'm much happier with this than the Soul Stone: I would pay [2] for a colorless instant that copied any activated or triggered ability in...
