I just want this guy and Feather to hang out in the same deck and be best friends.

Now this is interesting. I'm always a sucker for more flexible fixing.

Yeah, the MDFCs are neat from a gameplay perspective, but I doubt I'd run them in paper, at least the non-land ones. The pathways are probably fine. Meanwhile, we haven't talked about this yet: This is a pretty sweet all-in-one reanimation piece, kind of like Obsessive Stitcher. It's a...

Tegrid, Goddess of Dread Menace Whenever an opponent sacrifices a nontoken permanent or discards a permanent card, you can put that card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. Tegrid's Lantern T, Target player loses 3 life unless they sacrifice a nonland permanent or...

This is a pretty dope 5c enabler and payoff in one package. As far as the World Tree goes, I figure it's big enough that you can establish more than one mana bond with it.

Tibalt is good because he's gravy. You are playing the card for Valki, which is a Brain Maggot with better stats and worse disruption. Then, if the game goes long and you topdeck Tibalt on turn 9 suddenly you have a beast of a card. The card I want to talk about is This is basically the...

Man, I would love to draft this. I missed Time Spiral block the first time around, and it would have been exactly my jam from everything I've read. But March is too soon for in person events again, at least here in the states.

The flipwalkers are all 2-3 mana (except for Kytheon), and they're all pretty fun. Here's a scryfall link for all the 3 cmc walkers: https://scryfall.com/search?q=t%3Aplaneswalker+cmc%3D3 I have no idea what the power level is going to be here, so some of these could be pretty brutal, but I...

Two of Maro's Kaldheim preview clues suggest to me that these are real: "the introduction of a creature type that players have been wanting for years" and "a card that allows you to kill someone with poison" Also, chapter 3 of that WG saga is apparently what Populate was in playtesting, and...

As someone who loves both vikings and metal (and viking metal) I've found WotC's marketing to be some serious "Hello, fellow kids" level cringe-y. I can't deny that the cards themselves definitely do it for me, though. Showdown of the Skalds Escape to the Wilds was surprisingly great, and this...

I've used the Recommender quite a bit already. Learning the methodology behind how it recommends stuff was super interesting!

I just think if you want a UR card smoothing/artifact matters CMC 3 planeswalker, Saheeli Rai will do you better.

So, uh, COVID-19, huh? I haven't touched a paper Magic card in 8 months. Like most people, I play exclusively on Arena these days. The Arena Cube is not available all the time, and I feel like I can do better anyway. So here it is - My Arena Cube, which may actually see some play...

I wonder if we've reached a critical mass of kicker cards with ZNR if Kicker Matters can work as a Temur wedge theme? Basically all the best kicker cards are in blue, green, or red and you've got payoffs like Hallar, the Firefletcher and Roost of Drakes.

Huh. I had the same experience. What a coincidence!

I like Malakir Blood-Priest a lot having played the set. It does a nice little Gary impression. Linvala and Zagras are also nice, but the party stuff on them seems secondary to the rest of their text. Tazri is also nice and goes with Kenrith as a 5c white card.

Dreadhorde Arcanist I really love how the Rakdos Arcanist deck that's popular right now in Historic plays. How many 1 cmc spells do you need to run before this guy becomes viable?

This isn't 1995 where we're drafting without knowing what's in the set. The only thing you're doing by avoiding reading the cards until the set is out is giving yourself a competitive disadvantage. On the other hand, posting about stuff in threads without having played with the cards first is...

And the MDFCs:

Are we not doing includes threads anymore? Anyway, here's what I'm looking at from the new set:
