See Pegasus Courser vs Roc Charger for example.

Yawgmoth was explicitly not a planeswalker, wasn't he? Like, that was always the Phyrexians' biggest weakness, that they couldn't walk the planes?

I like Arch of Orazca better than a pre-flipped Conqueror's Foothold, as I think the design is just cleaner, but I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Nah, man. Ian Banks wrote the Culture books.

Captain Sisay So with the change to planeswalkers being legendary, and a bunch of cool legends in Dominaria, is this card worth a look?

MaRo has been clear that he would blow up the reserve list tomorrow if Legal would let him. Violating the reserve list opens up WotC to way too much liability. I think WotC would need to sell the rights to Magic to someone else for that to ever happen.

WotC announced today that they are making a set with new cards that will be skipping Standard and going straight into Modern. We have two preview cards so far. This guy looks extremely cool as a sac outlet, and I like the Cabal Therapy mini-game as repeatable over several turns. I'm...

God I hate that guy. He's a shit Magic player too, turns out.

Time for a new set fight club! Rakdos Cackler vs Footlight Fiend Flexible aggro staple? Or sweet hybrid aristocrats enabler?

Hydroid Krasis is the big stupid UG flampler I've always been looking for. Simic Sky Swallower never quite cut it. Plus I got a shiny foil promo so I have to try it out now. In other news, Simic ramp in this set is bananas. It is trivially easy to have 8 mana on like turn 5.

Damn, that's one of the best Magic design articles I've read in a long time. Highly recommend anyone on this forum read it.

Yeah. I don't think Meren would ever see print in a mainline Magic set. She's just too pushed and I think she's only balanced in the context of commander. It took me literally one draft with her in to see how oppressive and unfun she was and pulled her immediately.

Okay fine. Yargle gets a pass too. It's just... cube is for doing weird shit you can't do in your standard meat and potatoes limited format. Are we really going to get excited about a vanilla 3/7 for 5 no matter how good the flavor text is?

Yeah, man. This is cube. Isamaru, Hound of Konda is the only vanilla creature we cater to around here.

They fixed the 5th card problem! And better rewards for drafting! https://forums.mtgarena.com/forums/threads/44955?page=1

Multicolored: Set is tasty. I foresee it making up a non-trivial portion of my cube redesign.

Alright. Time to go through the spoiler and mark cards that catch my eye for possible inclusion. Monocolored:

Ooh. A Soul Warden bear. Interesting.

Fetches and Mana Confluence work too. Adanto Vanguard gets really silly with this real fast. The set up cost might still be too high, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

Uh, putting +1/+1 counters on something is real easy to abuse in UG. Thrummingbird Curse of Predation Savage Stomp Bow of Nylea Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Rishkar, Peema Renegade Verdurous Gearhulk Primeval Bounty
