You guys don't know how badly I've wanted this card. I was this close to taking a sharpie to Grim Haruspex and taking the morph off of it. Can I just run every Golgari card in the set? She's perfect for my Aristocrats themes.

Creature - Faerie Rogue Flying Whenever ~ attacks, surveil 1. 1/2 This is a tasty little blue tempo piece. I'm always looking for excuses to get blue to attack.

Goblin Cratermaker vs Abrade? Meanwhile, I am loving Dimir's aesthetic this time around. Noir ninja assassins are my jam.

0_0 EDIT - I just read the flavor text. RIP Isperia.

MaRo has been playing coy on his blog hinting that one of the guild mechanics is a returning mechanic that wasn't used for a guild before. That's one of the reasons people keep calling out Investigate for Azorius (a move I would absolutely support).

Guildgates are back. I hope they're in the basic land slot again and we get more gates matter cards.

I want Extort back. It's such a perfect B/W mechanic, and it works well with all the lifegain triggers they've been printing lately with the Ixalan vampires and in Core 19.

You can potentially draw your whole deck with the Gitrog Monster.

I think this is the only card they showed today that I'm not hyped for. The Izzet walker I always wanted. A more interesting Banishing Light. Emmara Tandris at GW like she was always meant to be. Pretty sure this goes in over Fatal Push. I sort of want to slot this in over Taigam...

Yeesssss. I like... I think literally every one of these cards. There's a Hieromancer's Cage with Convoke, a 1 Mana removal spell that checks the creatures in your graveyard, the aforementioned Dissolve upgrade, and they finally treated my girl Emmara Tandris right. I even like the RW 2/3 with...

Magus of the Balance + reveillark Ask yourself if you're okay with this (no judgement if you are... I might be...)

I'm going to reserve judgment on the mechanics until we see actual cards, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Each of the mechanics play in to the niches I already have carved out for the guilds in my cube except for Boros, which is more spell and token focused. I expect to get a lot of new goodies...

Of course, a new Ravnica set is going to come out in a month and upend this entire discussion.

My current favorite Gruul archetype is chucking lands at your opponent's face. Borborygmos Enraged Stormbind Molten Vortex Life from the Loam Ramunap Excavator Flame Jab Although really, most of the green decks in my cube happen to be 3+ colors. That way you can play stuff like the Gitrog...

This video tells you everything you need to know about Bonfire of the Damned:

Cursed Scroll I'm watching this video from Channel Firebal, and about halfway through there's an interesting discussion about Cursed Scroll and whether it would be included in Standard decks if it were printed today. With that in mind, and thinking about the way that card design has changed...

I dig it. I like how it's basically a blue/black tempo deck that can win just fine without Living Death, but it's also got this ultra powerful plan as well. The lack of fixing is a bummer. I always pick it very highly so the bots are trained to snap it up too.

Neither. Instead, can I interest you in one of these: Ajani, Caller of the Pride Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants For the following reasons: 1) Big Cat dudes are objectively cooler than generic white dudes with brown hair. 2) They are more interesting support cards (I especially like the...

I mean, I fucking love Sun's Champion. She's one of my favorite walkers, and I won't cut her even if I probably should. I'm the last person who should lecture someone on including her in their cube. I do think trying to run her in the same cube that's trying to get cute with Righteous Authority...
