I kinda feel the opposite about this, Spider-Man not only had no cool or interesting mechanical designs, but it also had nothing flavorfully interesting if you didn't like Spider-Man comics. This set actually has a number of cool designs, including a ton of stuff which isn't explicitly...

The best part of Universes Beyond is the food.

I really want to see a version of this with the actual artist instead of the turtle lol.

I think Sunken Palace specifically has the issue where it's unlikely to ever be generic goodstuff due to it's low power level. Even in a weaker environment where something like Colossal Dreadmaw is the unquestioned king of the format, spending a net two mana and needing to exile seven cards from...

Don't talk to me or my son ever again Colossal Dreadmaw

But, but... it has the funny Copy word on it!

I feel like that one would Entomb Phyrexian Dreadnaught and a Torpor Orb effect...

Hell yeah! Deutschland is becoming Cubeland!

Yeah it's wild! I like how Emmisary makes fliers, I feel like that fact makes playing both of these cards a lot more appealing for some Cubes.

Wow, Ravenous Robots really is just Young Pyromancer for Artifacts, isn't it? I guess that's one more thing to put in the Ninja Turtles Review! (Sidenote: I am surprised the Ninja Turtles set is cool enough to warrant a review episode).

I disagree. Who the hell wants to do unnecessary algebra and exponentials while playing Magic? I get it's easy math, but like, come on. Not cool.

This set looks like a marked step up from Spider-Man! It still suffers slightly from the "there are a bunch of similar looking characters on legendary creatures" issue Spider-Man had, but not nearly to the same extent. I think the Villains are actively quite interesting: I know nothing about...

I doubt they regret it, but I don't think they would reprint it into Standard. They have really toned back the quality of removal spells since Scars block (even though they realistically need stronger options to deal with contemporary threats).

Honestly, this might just be a case of poor card evaluation on my part, I'm not entirely sure! I just don't understand why they're so careful with fixed-value Savannah Lions variants in a post-Ragavan world (that is also full of snowballing 1-drops with other statliness). It seems like a place...
