Master's Councillors This guy is pretty cool, turbocharges your graveyard in blue delve cantrip strategies, grows to a 5/3 for 2 fairly quickly, has vigilance for some reason.

I don't know why it's ok when Planar Chaos, Phyrexia, or Modern Horizon does it, but everything about this set just feels so fake to me. I'd actually really like a Mother of Runes variant that discarded a card as a cost, but I'm not paying 1 mana on top of that.

Not especially. We see equipment, auras and vehicles in basically every set, and I like sagas more than any of those. If anything it's dumb that magic sets don't have more of them.

I've just learned that the platonic ideal reanimation target also exists in this set so add that to be list above Ultimo, Civilization's End

Probably not including all of these, but they interested me: Night Nurse, Healer of Heroes Quake, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Kid Loki S.H.I.E.L.D. Flying Car Loki Laufeyson Spider-Man, to the Rescue Invisible Force Field Fantastic Elasticity Stature, Young Avenger Quantum Entanglement Atlantean...

I can't speak to how quirky they are, but I do try to include cool two-card combos that consist of cards that are otherwise useful in other contexts too. Ranger of Eos + Goblin Bushwacker is a classic, and Ranger of Eos can also serve as a tutor for other cool creatures. Ultima + Quicken gives...

He actually only draws off those asinine things, he doesn't trigger off spells.

why do bad guys sets get all the cool girls cards Songbird, Sonic Screamer Rescue, Pepper Potts Alex Wilder, Runaway Asgardian Inspiration Atlantean Skirmisher Darwin, Adaptive Mutant Daughter of the Deep Dismissive Denial Green Goblin, Back for More Inspired Fire Origin of Thor Quantum...

Riptide Lab is famously a powermax cube forum, there are no curators here who could be interested in a card like Shuri, Wakandan Inventor, Loki, God of Mischief, Elektra, Daughter of the Hand, Shuri, the Black Panther, or the new dual land cycle that encourages playing basic lands. Regardless...

Damn I procrastinated too long so now I can no longer make my comment about how nobody was posting in this thread despite the huge card dump as an indication of UB ushering in the demise of the game. S.H.I.E.L.D. Flying Car Insanely annoying to type, but mechanically neat. Will probably cube...

What's the pick priority distribution like? Completely even?

It's a cute tool, but it relies on a relative degree of normalcy. It can draft a storm deck in my cube and it looks quite competent, because it knows that Lion's Eye Diamond and Yawgmoth's Will often appear together in the same decks. On the other hand, it doesn't have the knowledge base to...

Happy to see Sauron's Ransom that doesn't temp you, I've wanted that card since Ransom got spoiled. Edit: The split and choose roles are inverted apparently. I think that makes it worse, but I don't think it greatly influences my desire to cube with it.

For both of the Jace arts, is he inside the magic veil thing pressing against it with his hands, or is he in front of it and channeling similar-looking magic with each of his hands? Also how has this twerp been using only one glove all this time and I just now noticed. His whole outfit has...
