I sometimes feel like I am the only person on earth happy about the OmenPath situation. These digital alternative versions make it much easier to sell people on proxied universes within versions; also easier to find artworks for the cards. Sadly the spiderman omenpaths set was kinda shitty...

So, there have been a few leaks (four cards). And I was going to skip that set entirely. Wouldn't have expected to even post in this thread, especially not opening it. But I've been hoping to get some love for white prowess, especially {r/w} for so long. And now this got leaked: This has...

If there is a full cycle, that makes them all easier to parse for drafter, just sayin

On a more serious note, I totally get your problem with the bicycle land arts. The Festering Thicket from the Lorwyn Eclipsed commander decks is very nice, and I like Irrigated Farmland for being very unique, and of course the new Umbral expanse looks awesome. But a lot of them are... mediocre...

Have you considered ~20-60 Prismatic Vistas instead?

They had to do it like this because this guy recurs (noncreature-) artifacts and enchantments too. Another very relevant upside over mono red versions.

My CCC has 30 hybrids in the 330 core module and will on average get four more from the occasionals for 34 expected hybrids in a 360 draft pool. That's almost 10%, but then there is also a relatively large amount of colorless. Flexibility in draft are a high priority for me.

I keep saying that ;)

My thoughts exactly lol

Great catch! Didn't think of Trashmaster but of course ti would work with Redcap and Putrid Goblin. Now all I want to see is someone draft a nice Rakdos/Jund Goblin deck with a potential persist combo, including Goblin trashmaster, Murderous Redcap, Metallic Mimic and Grumgully the Generous...

I like what you're saying here, makes me optimistic that this might be something that increases player's enjoyment of drafting the cube, especially for recurring drafters. Note that there is a little more redundancy in the occasionals: Twilight Shepherd Puppeteer clique Good-fortune unicorn...

But is it not difficult enough to assemble this three pieces that can be interacted with in so many ways?

What are peoples experiences with Persist combo (especially in low/mid power)? What I hope it'll be: an emergent combo package that adds another dimension to certain decks and is fun to play with and against. What I fear it might be: an inconsistent combo package that feels like losing to RNG...

I have nostalgia for Lore Broker, but I don't even play it in my Ravnica Block Cube because I really don't like the idea of giving free loots to my opponent. You are probably right, though, Thought Courier would be the best solution. And, just for my inner demons, it could be argued that they...

Enclave Cryptologist Muse Seeker Thought Courier In addition to Merfolk Looter I want one other cheap, repeatable instant-speed looter. I am currently on Enclave Cryptologist. It's a sidegrade to merfolk looter. You have to spend your first turn to cast it and your second turn to level up...
