Im going to have to ask my doctor about that. I think I could eat a card provided the ink isn’t toxic and it won’t mess with any prexisting conditions. Otherwise, I would just print an HD copy of a Siege Rhino on several layers of edible paper and eat that. No cookies though, it has to at least...

Cube Hit of the Year The Average Power Level of New Sets. Reprieve Mosswood Dreadknight Trumpeting Carnosaur The sets of 2023 had the best slate of sets in a long time. While the year started a bit slow with the underwhelming Phyrexia: All Will Be One, it came roaring back in April with March...

Correct on both counts: Windswept Heath Renowned Weaponsmith

I feel like Aggro and Control are kind of trying to do different things, so unless you're playing something generically good or a removal spell, you're unlikely to find good overlap. That said, I think this card fits the bill: Ring of Gix I really like Ring of Gix in low-power formats. It's a...

I replied to one of those people in the comments, that sentiment is so dumb. Not everyone playing a Cube is an MTGO grinder who knows what random 20 year old mechanics like Morph do. I think expecting people to have their phone out during a draft is just an unrealistic expectation.

I didn't even realize there were two threads until right now lol. Good it's fixed!

Maybe the mechanic could be called “hype” and then it could say “if ~ was hyped up?” I feel like two-word keywords feel a bit odd sometimes.

I think two-mana "Borph" is a likely possible mechanic. I think it's a little bit suspicious to me that the MTG arena team is bringing the entire Khans of Tarkir set to the arena platform all at once instead of doing a "best hits" remaster for the block like they did with previous sets like...

I would go further and say that the "blandness" of these cards actually comes from their simplicity more than anything else. We've seen a ton of very novel uses of artifact tokens as a theme in the past couple of years. By contrast, these are all fairly basic effects that simply investigate or...

Demand Answers seems like a nice Cube inclusion, to be sure. I like how it works with both artifact tokens and artifact lands. The art is pretty cool, too.

So I think it kind of depends on how fast the Cube ends up being. Bitterblossom is not as good as it used to be since it takes so long to get going. In a long game you can make a ton of tokens and beat down the opponent, which is great and can potentially warp the game. However, if the game is...

I love the fact that standard basically ended up working out that way, too. Basically every deck was three color during Khans, and whittled down to being 2 colors by the end of the format with Origins (except for Abzan, good ol' Abzan became more controlling but still played three colors to the...

Sounds like the type of person who has only drafted mediocre Arena Cubes.

I feel like "Kindred" as a name works well for the card type, but it really does not work for the tribal decks as a theme. "Typal" is only a little better than kindred in that regard, and I agree another name is warranted.

They're talking about question 21 (For comparison, what do you think are the best retail limited formats of all time?). MH1 and MH2 are not options on that list, even though they are among many player's favorites.

I would guess so! I don't really have an interest in Duel Commander so I can't say for sure, but being able to copy your broken lands out of the yard seems very powerful in some decks. It would combine nicely in a lands shell alongside cards such as Dark Depths, Thespian's Stage, Urza's Saga...

It's a reasonable land that can enter the battlefield untapped as a Wastes that also has good synergy with these cards: Horizon Canopy Silent Clearing Fiery Islet Nurturing Peatland Sunbaked Canyon Waterlogged Grove Spara's Headquarters Raffine's Tower Xander's Lounge Ziatora's Proving Ground...

I am so happy they printed more versions of these cards. I always liked how typecycling played, but the actual creature ends of these cards felt very difficult to use and not that fun (save for Elvish Aberration, which rules). I think the extra options from MOM, LTR, and LCI are welcome...

I definitely agree. The entire first Ixalan block only had 16 cards that explore and 3 cards that care about when you explore. Most of those cards were bad draft chaff cards, such as Brazen Buccaneer and Queen's Agent. If you wanted to use explore in a Cube, your only real options were Merfolk...
