Sure, but Sun Titan is equally oppressive on the composition of cubes. It's run more than the next 10 white six-drops combined according to Cube Cobra (I've got an article coming out eventually about it).

Haven't been able to cube this year since I moved to a new country and haven't been able to have enough time to both meet a critical mass of new Magic players here who I'm comfortable bringing into my home with my children AND having a free day to host (I'm pretty close though, the second thing...

Ranking the Showcase Treatments – with Math! I made a formula combining survey data (thanks all who contributed here) and sales data I scraped from 4 major sites to figure out which of the 16 planar showcase styles in MOM/Aftermath were objectively the best.

Thanks both!! I appreciate the home-town support I've gotten from y'all here :)

Have gotten bad about posting weekly (oops I have two 90% finished articles as well) and just realized I've missed a few here, but hey, I wrote a bit about the basic lands of the PT this week! What Everyone Missed at Pro Tour: March of the Machine Images are too large to upload for this one...

New playtest cards! Some funny cards, some not well-tuned, but a delight all-in-all. I desperately wish they had the slap-dash artwork of previous editions, but I guess they're being treated as exclusive to Magic Fests, which are dramatically less frequent than the events that had Mystery...

yes, incredibly. I can't wait to actually be able to grind this on arena

I really do see all sides of this, but my aversion here is not the complexity creep itself, but the relative value in exchange for complexity. At a cube of my size, what's the best-case scenario here? Maybe 20 cards that directly acknowledge the ring, if the set's power level does somehow end up...

The most-cubed creatures that fit this category do not represent enough density in terms of cards I'd be happy to play with at this time...but I am desperate for that to change over time, and would dearly love to play Kenessos. I'd love more "cheap" creatures (on a MV basis) that suit the...

In all honesty, as much as it peeves me, this is a good defense. And the follow up: Look, there are few franchises I care about more than Magic. But the world of Middle Earth is one of them. And yet, I find myself agreeing with Mark. I understand the need to compromise here - this is modern...

A couple notes now that we have everything: Please WotC, PLEASE stop doing extended art treatments. Leave this to fan artists. It's so obvious that you're getting a cropped piece of work on the standard version of the card and it's not good! Why are you having the standard version of your cards...

I love all the takeaways, thanks for that analysis @TrainmasterGT!! Can't help but love any episode of Lucky Paper that @landofMordor is on. Was very appreciative for the ardent defense of Battles, a card type I don't really care for in concept but adore in execution. I'm finding March of the...

I kept this in my cube for years without it ever being run maindeck, I just couldn't imagine why people didn't like it. I still don't :wagg:

Ditto what @TrainmasterGT said - I've considered it for my main cube.

I've seen midrange decks run Emry just to "draw cards" off her mill ability and get back Wurmcoils, I think she's just a stellar card in a ton of strategies, and costs you very little even if she is quite easy to react to.

It has, you can see the whole thing here. It's quite the unpleasant way to get spoilers. The dude was unbelievably thick in his "analysis" and a miserable presenter on every imaginable axis, which I wouldn't be complaining about if the purpose of him spoiling the whole set was anything besides...

Yeah, it's Worship but for planeswalkers instead of for you, it's super clever!

Most of the set (~35 cards) were leaked today from a YouTube video (Imgur album here) where some dude thought he was buying a MOM CE box but it was for Aftermath instead. Looks like he'll be opening another soon, so we'll likely have the full spoiler shortly. Kind of disappointing for it to...

I think you have them in order here of how interesting they are. Blitz feels great on Arena but is overly complex in paper, otherwise I'd have the Rhino in the top slot.

Technically, Wilds of Eldraine is the next set. March of the Machine AFTERMATH is a supplemental expansion, not filling the premiere expansion slot for Q3. Speaking of endless spoiler season...Aftermath story starts in 3 weeks, with spoilers the two days afterwards! edit: I should go on the...
