I see a lot of cross synergy

Wow, it seems like I come across more negative than I am. Or at least, than I view myself. I still love magic like my 11yo self and I am totally fine with them releasing stuff that's not for me – there are enough magic cards that appeal to me already! – which is why I also only made one little...

Aaah, the first gimmick set (every card except some lands has the word artifact on it somewhere). It's an odd one, really, and when you look through the spoiler, art ranges from top tier (Yawgmoth Demon, Citanul Druid, Obelisk of Undoing) to pretty bad/akward/unfitting (wtf Reverse Polarity)...

Also, I agree with what Onde and others implied. The white and gold frame really needed an upgrade, they aren't great. But blue, black, red, green and artifacts look so so much better to me.

In my opinion, the 2003 frame was also much better than the 2014 one. Since there was more color and more texture with those being visible all around the card. Now the boxes got a little wider, the bottom is completely white on black text only, and we have too many different roundings. Taste is...

It's probably a cool card for landfall aggro

I want to disagree to that, wholeheartidly. For me, old borders are purely an aesthetic thing. I started playing in the late summer of 2005 and I didn't see my first old border card before 2007, so I really don't have a particular nostalgia for it. It is just that the old frame looks literally a...

Born of the Gods Wow, I can keep this one rather short. Satyr Wayfinder I love this guy. Been cubing him for at least a decade. I don't live tribute and most of the other mechanics and themes from Theros block, and BNG in particular didn't even give us a really cool devotion card.

Wow, I didn't expect this thread to be so active. You could say it's... almost daily. So I guess I have to double post! Rise of the Eldrazi is an interesting case. I was on a short hiatus from mtg when it released and I wasn't even aware what a banger it was before this thread. Turns out I am...

It's also my favorite FTK ever. I run it in all of my cubes that aren't about Pokémon :)

keening banshee

Last month was Cube Open Braunschweig, and it was a nearly perfect weekend of cube. On friday we did a inofficial draft of my Pokécube, Saturday my CCC was featured in the main event (I drafted another cube during that slot though) and on sunday for the last round, my Ravnica Cube was also...

Planeshift is weird. It is an old set that looks really cool, but between it being very low power, it being a gold set and FTK being too strong for my cube, it happens that I don't run any PLS cards in my cube(s). Well, you could argue, that I technically do run one: Sunlance Strafe I mostly...

Wow, I didn't know MMA had really unplayable jank like thundering giant. Wise decision, but be careful every little unseeming upgrade of a janky slot could make the next worst thing, well, worse.
