Fair. Maybe this whole idea is a wash, haha. I mean, the cards all have so much reminder text at the moment. I'll give it some thought for sure.

Right. That makes sense. I'd rather avoid taking on a bunch of extra subtypes but I can probably just drop the subtype all together. Thanks for the ideas!!

Messing around with some ideas for non-flip battles. As I'm pushing the flavour of the cube towards an Empire vs. Outlands theme, I think there could be a place for some really cool cards that represent a battle (I guess the exact reason they made them...haha). But I don't really like any of...

I really want to run the cycle of LandCyclers from LotR. Honestly, I like the Troll and Lorien revealed. I can see the W and G one getting replaced with Dinos. Maybe the black one too. They may get replaced and then erratta'd to be {1}.

That's actually a rare. Thanks Set Symbol. Edit: Wow, super late to the party on that one. Just catching up and misread all the other replies.

This is beautiful.

Completely guessing: I imagine there is a significant portion of magic players who aren't buying much product (like me!) but have a lot of other interests (D&D, LotR, Dr. Who, 40K, etc.). I also imagine that an MTG cross-over pulls a significant portion of that group to buy/collect the specialty...

Every year that goes by this comic gets less and less funny. :(

Just read the article and I am dismayed to read the words "...across multiple sets...." Oh dear God, that's so much more than I was expecting.

One thing I am wondering about with this whole Gollum thing (and your mention of Battle box) is that these are formats where players don't really need to parse a card while drafting it. Would a new player take a Gollum during a draft? Would I? I think I would be likely to pass it until I had...

Honestly, I used that all the time when building presentations or writing my thesis but usually coast on the flavour text. I'll have to remember that!

That's a fair analysis. Thank you very much! I guess I mean that comparing them to the previous cheapest boosters and feeling like they may not get there in terms of value. I'm not sure how good the EV is for set boosters on given set, so if they were decent typically, then I'm sure this...

Thanks! The clauses being the two major parts of the sentence? I swear I'm an english speaker, I just never think about it anymore, haha. "Few in the empire would appreciate the dangers which lurk at the edge of the continent," works better you mean?

Yeah, that makes sense for sure. I like the idea for low creature count decks. So maybe the idea of threat* works well there. Like probably best in a deck where Bone Sabres IS the threat. I'll give it some thought as to if that fits the cube or not.

Yeah, it feels good and seems like it will help support new players in a really subtle way that doesn't affect gameplay. Thanks for the support!

Hmm, that's a really good way to look at it. I'll give that some thought and that'll probably guide my decisions on buffs if I choose to keep it in. Thanks!

I feel like that's the optimistic assumption but the lack of transparency gives me pause for sure.

Fair point. Combo is reasonably well represented but the cube is a lot more aggressive. Mostly just like the feel of this card and wondering what people think.

Alright, so my brain is stuck on this card and I want it for my powered Vintage cube. I'm currently testing the version below, but I'm curious what other people think the bar is on how far to push a [[Bone Sabres]] before it will be playable in Vintage Cube. Sidenote: Taking a note from the...

But is there a way to calculate/estimate the chance of getting 4 rares? I've pulled packs before that were double Rare/Foil Rare before and went -ev on it because they were bulk rares.... It feels like this is hugely ev negative (which feels obvious given the addition of rares would need to add...
