You can't go wrong with any of these. Prismari Charm is the only one I would steer away from because people are least likely to recognize it compared to the others. Flame of Anor is probably the most powerful, but needing a wizard to get full value can be a bit bespoke. My favorite is probably...

Who thought sacrificing a creature to rummage in Blue was worth the cost? I guess you don't have to discard the card until ability resolution, so you can technically just redraw if your hand is empty. Still...

Technically, it's not strictly worse since 70,000 Lightyears hits spacecraft and also puts the basic land into the opponent's hand rather than onto the battlefield. I bet it's usually worse, though. And, as you said, that's a good thing for most environments.

I talked to Usman about this and I think we may end up doing a review for this set in addition to The Hobbit; there are a lot of very interesting cards from this set!

Complaining about Magic on the internet is many people's favorite pastime!

This set has been kind of disappointing so far. I like the new Gandalf, and Smaug would be cool at bulk rare prices, but there's very little in the rest of what we've seen, in my opinion, at least if you're not looking to Amass. Maybe there will be something cool towards the end!

I think the setting feeling fake is actually the point! This isn’t a natural alternate timeline, it’s one Jace specifically cooked up to “fix” some of the problems he caused in the multiverse over the past two decades. It feels artificial because it is artificial in-canon.

I think it makes sense honestly. Full-size UB sets are usually adapting source material that has the robust sort of storytelling you need for resonant Sagas. There's a reason the Saga cards that people remember from in-universe sets tend to be the ones representing specfic stories from planes...

A bunch of people keep insisting this card is terrible and I just think they're wrong. It's so easy to stack a billion counters on this thing that it seems like it could be quite potent to me. I don't think it's really a "Cube Card" in the traditional sense because it does require a bunch of...

Whip of ErebosApex Altisaur Why yes, I would like to gain 50 life, and wipe my opponent's board, thank you very much!

Yeah no I would be willing to bet money that the reason no one is jumping to post about this set on most platforms is because the cards are mostly terrible.

D is definitely the most interesting of the bunch!

Charming Prince is just so much clearer and more reasonant than Ennis that I legitimately see no reason to ever play Ennis over Prince unless you specifically need something that blinks and also cares about +1/+1 counters at the same time.

Sad to see no more cards like Fleem, but also, I am very happy I will know what the card is across both platforms. Through the Omenpaths was horrible for being able to tell what cards online translated to paper.

Lowkey I am very surprised you have never tried Venser before. It seems like a perfect card for the CCC!
