She's a removal check. She will get out of hand quickly in any format where the power level doesn't completely drown her out. The interesting thing is that she dodges a lot of removal. Doom Blade, Ultimate Price, Cast Down, most cheap burn... none of it hits her.

Hey, as long as we're talking about UR creatures... Bloodwater Entity vs. Adeliz, the Cinder Wind

It's almost like a card game is a really bad way to tell a story. You have a tiny amount of space to work with, so characters have to be broad and they have to speak in short pithy quotes because that's all they have literal room for.

Man, I should've drafted A25. M13 deserves a place on this list somewhere. It's easily the best core set draft experience ever. Also, I'm going to get flogged for this, but I think RTR is better than original RAV if you ignore Pack Rat.

100% agree.

Gary is already in there, right? Because recurring Gary gets real gross real fast.

Just went 3-0 with a pretty sweet 4 color base green deck. Song of Freyalise is awesome. The first two chapters let you build a board, and then if that board is remaining after two turns you basically win. Also, Jaya's Immolating Inferno is as busted as it looks. I had four legendaries in the...

On the other hand I just opened Lord Godfrey and Darius Crowley in the same arena pack, so I love this expansion now.

There's some pretty cool and flavorful designs in this set. I'm just getting sick of paladin's dominance. It's the best class in literally every format right now, by a decent margin. It puts up 55%+ win rates in standard, wild, and arena. I would say that Call to Arms needs a nerf, but now we...

Y'know, looking at the set and listening to the Limited Resources set review, I think this format reminds me a LOT of my cube in general. Maybe not specifically the play patterns and mechanics (there's a lot of graveyard stuff in mine that's not here), but the general philosophy of having cards...

Mine is already an attrition-focused grindy format, so they should slot in just fine. I'm going to see how they play in retail draft for a bit before I make any judgments on them. There's enough nostalgia catnip in here to drag me back for at least a few FNM drafts.

My thoughts as I go through the spoiler. Serra Angel continues her tradition of having badass art. The art in this set in general is phenomenal. This is really cool. I like this. I'll probably slot this in over Harbinger of the Tides. I like this, but nothing can replace Future...

I dunno, man. I can't imagine putting a card this low impact in a deck on purpose. I know power level is a relative thing, but even in the weakest, most synergy driven cubes you'd rather just have Restock.

Also, be prepared for your first attempt to suck. Don't worry, it almost always does. In game design (and when you build a cube you are a game designer) you almost never get it right on the first try. You are going to playtest and make changes. Sometimes you'll seize on what you think is a...

Ravenous Chupacabra vs. Nekrataal Did we do this already? We had to have done this one already, right? Anyway, classic vs. cleaner design.

It was a bomb in FRF limited, and there's lots of cool stuff you can do with it. You get infinite ETB triggers with Burning-Tree Emissary for one.

Hypergenesis So I'm intrigued by the Storm as value idea that's percolating around a few of the threads in here. I was looking at suspend cards in Temur colors to support the archetype, and remembered this Modern gem. Anyone have any experience with it that doesn't involve cheating it out with...

I was just thinking the same thing. I try not to run cards as the only instance of a keyword in my cube to keep complexity at a reasonable level (I introduce new players to cube almost every time I play it and I try not to melt their brains too much). Big Daddy P is the only Monstrous creature...

I think the card is awesome, but literally every color in my cube cares about the graveyard in some way, so it's not as one sided as it is in, say, Masters 25. I like the effect so much I'm considering adding Twilight's Call for redundancy.
