    General Remix Draft: Artifacts on Arena

    Seeing card A vs card B much more frequently, due primarily to the commons. For myself, I've polled my playgroup and they don't even want duplicate lands. They value singleton pretty highly. I think that this is kind of stupid, but it's a preference they have, so, whatever. There's a few...

    Google Maps. Are Vraska and Jace stupid? (What you said lines up with some Reddit thing I saw, so I think you're right.)

    General Remix Draft: Artifacts on Arena

    Nice. I've always wanted to do this kind of project, but it seems like it would get stale so much sooner than a cube, so it never seems worth going through with. I think it's a good way to capture certain themes in a way that's familiar to drafters.

    That can't be accurate. Anyone else?

    I don't get it. The Omenpaths led to some vault that has the lovechild of Crash Bandicoot and Bulbasaur inside? Who drew that ugly thing? What's the lore here?

    Substitute Synthesizer makes me want to dump a hand full of Frogmites and Myr Enforcers like the good old days. Omenpath Journey is underwhelming on turn 4, but it definitely seems like a card to ramp to Eldrazi with. Cool answer to the excess of tokens we have these days. This is a decent...

    My Onslaught cube regularly has to deny uncommons for being too OP lol. Outlaws of the Blind Eternities

    I like the "more lands makes it better" for my Eldrazi format, but it could really use -0/-1 at the very least. When I made my first cube, I was pretty happy to run 2/X flyers for 2 as an aggressive WU deck. Adding flash made them feel pretty strong lol. Stats are in a weird place with how...

    Really nice common lands. Smoothing and yard enabling in colorless on an ok body. *bites Kozilek's ankle* That's a pretty good secondary option in red. Doesn't have the scary "additional cost" wording, either. Power creep makes a lot of the mythics look ridiculous, but it gives us more...

    The OTJ ones don't look that great to me because of the color palette, but I feel like I'd probably like them if I were more yeehaw. That Phantom is making an Interference. ;) I really like both Geralf and Shark. I probably give the edge to the Shark because 4 flying toughness is so good...

    I feel like the main thing that Devastator has going for it is that it's so red. Flying haste at any point in red's curve is always appreciated. I feel like green might be too good at creatures to want this X-1 statted guy. The card's flavor is really cool, though, and I think it gets better in...

    But is it good??? I'm leaning towards not good the more I think about it. Getting an X-1 in the color of big creatures feels pretty bad. That BBRR card has me looking at The Black Cube again lol.

    Agreed. (X-1)/(X-1) for X on a flyer seems so much better. Hydra seems way worse for smaller X values. A 2/2 trample for 3? 3/3 trample for 4? Is the hydra even good?!

    This has a lot of words, but ultimately feels like it's kinda mid powered? I kinda wanna run it, but the mythic symbol has me nervous that I'm underestimating it.

    Not unless they hired an internal AI team. The available AI isn't there yet. You'd have to train/program one specifically for MtG. Then again, I haven't messed with it for like six months. I still think a team of professionals would be better. Even as an individual designer, I didn't find it...

    I liked blocks :( But this is a fine solution. Gives WotC more freedom. Really woulda made sense to suspect and investigate in OTJ and to have Azorius get Detain in MKM. Hell, coulda had Plot in MKM and made these two sets into a mechanical block. Why are people mad about Kellan? Because he...

    This basically confirms crime for my cube, I think. I feel like this art was supposed to be a vampire, but they erased the scary teeth and slapped "Human" on it. Main deck playable Super Disenchant. You burn spells can cantrip and they're all Blazes?! Sheeesh! Neat mix of effects. Should...

    The Omenpaths allow Legendary creatures to be printed at a higher rate to appeal to Commander players.

    The whole set feels like it's a parody of a cowboy cartoon to me. Almost everyone wears a cowboy hat? Really? The flavor, overall, is a miss for me, but I'm still liking a lot of things.

    THIS is trinket text! I see people misuse the term "trinket text" a lot of the time. Trinket text is NOT words on a card that you personally don't care about, such as "Choose a Background." From the MTG Wiki: Do people outside the States know about this cartoon? Basically, the coyote wants...
