I'm probably just skipping out on Prepared cards for my cube; just not a fan of memory mechanics in paper Magic outside of its Limited environment where it's more commonly featured. The card frame is way too similar to Adventures (same issue I had with Omens from TDM) and I much prefer that...

Can't you just cast it for something like WWG and have it enter as a 2/2? Not ideal, but definitely possible.

It feels kinda below rate unless you're putting 0 or a ton of mana into it. I'd probably be more excited with the flexibility if it was at instant speed.

1 year bump for Tarkir: Dragonstorm! I was pretty excited for us to revisit this plane as Khans of Tarkir in 2014 was when I was playing the most Magic of my life. The MTG club on campus was active with draft and EDH nights and we'd carpool to the LGS on Friday. A lot of my closest friends to...

I'd just rather keep Kiora in my list; way cleaner to read and understand. 2/4 is also kind of an obnoxious body to deal with at 3 CMC.

Well, they finally finished the enemy versions: I'm going to wait until I can pick up foil versions of each option (it's really weird when they choose NOT to print that variant), but now I'm at a crossroads. I reduced my lands after cutting a second cycle of shocks/allied tangos to the...

Personally just not something I'm interested in when +1/+1 counters are a thing in my draft environment. It becomes way fiddly on a board state that's already complex with interactions and trinket artifacts to go through. Most of my players are typically seasoned veterans, but if people take...

That Scryfall image fetcher being broken has made for some very funny thread replies this week.

Pox is pretty sweet, but Prepared as a mechanic brings in memory tracking in paper that I'm just not going to expose my drafters to. It should be very fun for people to play with in Arena for the foreseeable future. This mechanic is basically that weird EDH offshoot where you could have a...

Wombo-combo to storm off without actually having Storm in your cube: Thassa's Oracle Underworld Breach Frantic Search The lack of a once per turn restriction on the Opus ability is going to make for some explosive plays.

A base 2/2 Menace that grows with each subsequent burn spell is really sweet.

Gonna double-post your double-post. I think this card is pretty sweet and can turn Thassa's Oracle or milling out an opponent into legit win conditions. I don't think there are a whole lot of spells in my cube to trigger the mill 10 option, but I do like the idea of a nearly blind wombo-combo...

This one is pretty cool, it's tough competition in my cube to displace either of the 3 CMC Lilianas though. The inability to protect itself with either an edict or shrinking an attacker does make it a little less appealing for me. This seems like more of a fun support walker for an archetype in...

I'd say the bigger problem with Masters sets was the frequency with which they were printing them. It made sense at the beginning with a schedule of every two years beginning with Modern Masters in 2013. That was right in line with how frequently the meta would shift in that format for a long...
