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!

My guess: all of the hybrid mana symbols appear on cards that require one or more full pips of the colors, either in the main mana cost or as the cost for prepared spells.

I think the design is sweet! 7 mana is just so much for a card that wants you to combo off after you play it, you know? I feel like the best use case is in cheating it out somehow and then trying to combo off, which doesn't necessarily feel worthwhile. It's kind of hard to imagine a Cube where...
