I've heard good things about Spiderman, actually, with one big caveat: the set is too small, so you get multiples too easily.

Magic the Gathering being so UB focused that going Universes Within is practically Universes Beyond anyway?

Scryfall lays out the rules quite nicely (at the bottom): “When you cycle this card, first the cycling ability goes on the stack, then the triggered ability goes on the stack on top of it. The triggered ability will resolve before you draw a card from the cycling ability.” “The cycling ability...

Talking about Rayyan, I never noticed this flavor text, but it's absolutely hilarious! :marofl:

Note that Sygg, Wanderbrine Shield only wields a dagger, and no shield whatsoever :rolleyes: By the way, super happy that they got Omar Rayyan back to do more art. He was easily my favorite artist of the original Lorwyn!

I mean, he looks like he can party hard! I think he passes the vibe check!

I heartily endorse Showdown of the Skalds! Scales well to power level, very powerful in low mv cubes, but still super satisfying in slower cubes!

Oh, haha, the 1993-2022 in the credits threw me off :) Edit: That art is gorgeous by the way!

Could that be a preference thing? I like my Boros section plenty, but I also love playing Boros decks, so it feels like there’s some correlation, for me at least.

Wait… did we independently come up with the same design? I just cooked up the same exact card a month ago XD

Sure, but even if nostalgia was your only reason to play the format, that is still fine. Like, for me nostalgia is not a denigrating word. So I'm sorry if I made that impression on anyone. I just meant to say that it looked like a nostalgia format to me with a fairly slow-moving metagame...

I mean, I started with Invasion. Solidly in the heydays of the old frame. So maybe I’m just projecting XD

It's a very one-dimensional lens on nostalgia. "This deck never existed in Magic's history, so it can't be nostalgia!" Meanwhile you're still playing with cards that used to be viable but no longer are, and you're excluding everything that's not in the old frame. I mean... Also, what's wrong...

I mean... I'm a cube owner. I even have two, one of which allows you to permanently alter cards. I have over 40 Commander decks despite only playing Commander every other month! I think brewing potential and novelty are fairly high on my "what do I like about Magic" list XD But honestly, no...

Sure, but I personally wouldn’t pick them up daily. I don’t play chess either. And while the card pool of premodern is deep, you can’t just pick up any deck of random cards and expect to do well with it at a tournament. I bet you that all the top 8’s since the format’s inception don’t add up to...
