    I wish the mountain in the basic cycle was more evocative of the show. Mt. Bikini Bottom looks like it debuted in Season 7 and aired in 2011. Considering every other moment captured in the Secret Lair is from the pre-movie run (generally considered the golden age of the Sponge), this is an...

    Sets (TDM) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Previews!

    That was me! Goodness, the RTR block completely revolutionized my Cube, particularly enemy guilds. From the earliest list I have any my best recollection, my original Simic section as a 450-card unpowered list was: Temporal Spring Mystic Snake Edric, Spymaster of Trest Coiling Oracle I...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I really really love this card. I would be playing it myself as a "one-card archetype enabler" thing but Blue is too popular in my group, it's just not feasible with people forcing the color and the wealth of fixing available. Demilich is great too, another card I'd find a way to play if I had...

    Sets (TDM) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Previews!

    Fire // Ice Flametongue Kavu Vindicate Aura Shards Fires of Yavimaya Phyrexian Delver Captain Sisay Wash Out Do or Die Death or Glory Man, Death or Glory is sweet. I really don't like this era of Magic art (Invasion -> Mirrodin), but there's some really sweet evocative stuff in there.

    This card is actually really fun and works in paper without adjustment. Nice little mind game that doesn't feel oppressive at this mana value. If I were to be comfortable running Arena-only cards, I'd be very interested in this one. Double team sucks as a mechanic but it does play very well...

    How could I forget!!!! I was looking at it again in my recent Bits and Bobs update to better support Stridehangar Automaton!!! It's a great card, and was a big improvement for me over Rapacious Guest. Definitely will resleeve that one.

    Sets (TDM) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Previews!

    this makes it seem exceedingly fair!! Today WotC posted the Planeswalker's Guide to Tarkir Part 2 and it looks like they defanged Sultai quite a bit. I'm not too mad about it, because the aesthetic is extremely strong and good, but I didn't hate the prior one either, even if it was a little...

    For recent secret lair drops, the "generic" bonus card is one of several zombies, each from the modern era and in the retro frame for the first time. As a huge fan of the retro frame, this makes me very happy, but so far, none of these zombies was going to make it into my Cube as so many cards...

    Infinity Elemental did not pass the mustard in 2017 so, as much as I'd kill to have Jumbo Cactuar in my Cube, I will sadly have to skip it. I thought it was 5MV at first and I was THRILLED, because I really wanted to make Yargle and Multani work but couldn't justify a gold slot for a card I knew...

    General [DFT/DRC] Aetherdrift Testing/Includes Thread!

    My least favorite set in Magic history, aesthetically. Certainly the worst art direction in the modern era. That's a pretty hard feat to have when we have both the introduction of the Guidelight Voyagers (the best artifact creature designs for Magic since the Myr) and our first real look at...

    I will not apologize for liking this little guy. Again, for its ATROCIOUS art direction (not on my li'l guardian! but overall), this set has quite a few clean designs that I do really love and am excited to pick up for future Cube projects. this one is bad both from an art direction and a...

    Very excited about the early success of your podcast, folks! Congrats on getting a spoiler so early in your journey as well :) The final vanilla legendary is out. I like that it's an artifact creature, but unsurprisingly, it's not the 3/1 I was hoping for! I don't completely hate it all the...

    Two of the five legendary creatures with MV=2 and power>=4 have been printed in this set, and this is the first one without a downside/is able to actually attack and block without conditions. I do like Tyrox. It's not good enough, for sure, but I jammed the aforementioned Frost Walker for years...

    Yeah, it's an artifact creature and it flies now? Malevolent Hermit was looking nervous until I looked up just how many of my non creatures were artifacts, enchantments, and planeswalkers. Graveyard shenanigans win out over artifacts this time!
