Well, I did read those too, and I'm able to gather that Iroh is some kind of mentor figure to Zuko that cares about him, about tea I guess although I don't see what's especially noteworthy about that, and can seemingly be quite a badass. My issue is that I mostly just get a highlight reel of...

Not really interested in the no true magic fan fallacy aspect of this conversation, but Honestly, probably all of the non-ub ones. I read the flavor text of every avatar card spoiled and my takeaway is that there are people with the power to wield the elements, and they live in a somewhat...

I want to Unearth that, but not enough to add a card with waterbending.

Raven Eagle This card is close to cool, the payoff to drawing two cards is just a bit too anemic for me, I'd rather it lose some stats and drain for 2 instead.

At least in terms of their mechanical representation they are so far extremely disproportionately weighted towards one color, with the exception of Firebreathing appearing in both red and black (kind of ironically since it's the only one with an explicit color association). Every airbending card...

I believe it was changed largely because you couldn't use cards you stole from your opponents, and maybe partially because it's kind of weird. Most of the modern theft cards these days let you use any color of mana to cast them though, so it would probably be fine. edit: it also gave you a kind...

Commander is also the only format where you have extraordinary access to a legendary permanent with extremely wonky rules regarding state-based actions and tracking how much combat damage it has dealt, its rules are its identity. Magic has several mechanic whose design intent are undermined by...

I could, but the stx dynamic is the reason I'd want them in my cube, so that would be a bit pointless.

A part of me considered adding lessons to my cube, but then I remembered how barren the learn options are. Ty Lee, Chi Blocker This is the spoiled card I like the most so far, fun little tempo card that does fun things with blink spells and can set up surprise lethal. Foggy Swamp Vision I kind...

I can't imagine anyone being interested in playing that.

Well it kind of depends if you prefer low floor & high ceiling or high floor & low ceiling. I want to say Spelleater Wolverine just because I don't like payoffs that I have to draw in the right order, especially since your guttersnipe is prone to getting removed since your deck has a lot of...

Sure but it also sounds omega-boring to draft.

Shelldock Isle Zanarkand, Ancient Metropolis Talon Gates of Madara Fear of Isolation Kor Skyfisher Sutina, Speaker of the Tajuru Wonderscape Sage Black is kind of iffy. You could embrace stax, but that is probably worse in a cube where everyone likes lands. Maybe just give them more nonbasic...

Overrun

My assumption was that Groundlings are more of a unique creature along the lines of Noggles, Selkies, Duergar, Gwyllion and such without an explicit Lorwyn counterpart. Faeries are unique in that they were the only creatures to retain their memories after the great aurora (plus like Maralen...
