    I am genuinely confused about the flavor of wedding announcement. Why does it make human tokens? *cue X files opening theme*

    There are only two cards so far that showcase the blood token, but I am really excited about it. Seems like a great glue mechanic.

    General Jank Diver - Arena Cube Community

    There has been sporadic discussions about arena cube on these forums and theorycrafting with the historic card pool. I have been lurking/interacting with a group of players who regularly draft arena cube. They have two iterations; one without rarity restrictions and one peasant (includes rare...

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    The broken stained glass looks different in Faithful mending, but I think they're trying to show the church that was looted in dark ascension. There are different artists after all. The flavor text is right, though - a church is not only a building, but also a congregation of people, so I'll...

    @sigh I guess YP and frog is refencing the same idiom. English is not my mother tongue, so I actually didn't realize. They're both clever now that you informed me.

    Historic (MtgA) Cube

    I just wanted to share my thought on this sets impact on historic cube. It goes without saying that the introduction of powerful cards like restoration angel, seasoned pyromancer or yawgmoth, thran physician is a boon for The Arena Cube™. I find however that in constructing your own cube on...

    Thank you for the tag. Mizzix's Mastery. This card has impressed me in the arena cube offerings and can be sweet with magma opus and the ultimatums. Excess treasure can also help cast the overload. @Dom Harvey @Cultic Cube

    Conjurer's closet Anyone hyped about this? Compared to conjurer's closet it is one mana cheaper and hits more targets, but loses the flexibility of being colorless
