    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    I know what the Ring does in the lore. I'm saying that the play patterns of the Ring mechanic look like they're going to parallel the lore reasonably well even though there isn't an explicit "your creature gets weaker than it was initially if it stops being the Ring Bearer" line of text anywhere.

    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    It's almost like the fact that you're making one of your creatures super powerful is going to draw a lot of attention from your opponent and make them try to kill it. The Ring literally turns your opponent into the Nazgûl.

    I agree; all of the choices are fantastic. I actually like the way some of the lands look with the standard UB frame, which is nice.

    I was expecting this set to be a lot more "EDH-y" than it actually is turning out to be. Obviously, some of the legendary cards are hilariously bad designs, but the normal cards have been pretty great, to be honest. I know we've talked about most of these already but I'm loving this group of...

    MaRo did a Lord of the Rings teaser! I don't have too many specific ideas for these hints since I haven't finished reading the books or watching the films yet, but I am excited for the card that makes a Smaug token! (Let's be honest– it's probably a Saga called "There and Back Again").

    Ravnic's Custom Pokémagic-Cube

    Based I am sad there’s no Bidoof or Decidueye, since those are two of my favorite Pokémon. But this also isn’t my Cube so like it’s fine lol. Also, I don’t speak German so I don’t know what most of these cards do XD

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    Rallying the Ancestors Part 2 Welcome back! In the previous post, I discussed the overall vision for the Cube and how my main goals impact my design decisions. This post will outline the individual archetypes I'm trying to support in the Cube. I will also cover some archetypes that I have tried...

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    Rallying the Ancestors Part 1 One thing that I have failed to do since writing the first Digging Through Time post almost three years ago was actually write a coherent description of what this Cube is all about and what archetypes I'm trying to support. My original plan was to keep the Cube...

    Bold of you to assume I don’t also like the fact it says Chwinga XD

    Can I ask for the first set of cards with Void Grafter over Slogurk?

    General Fight Club

    Stonecloaker is one of those cards that reads cool but gets kind of boring once you’ve played with it a couple times. Of the other options you listed, I like Rescuer Chwinga and Felidar Guardian. Chwinga is my favorite Whitemane Lion variant because it has the option to also be an Ashcoat Bear...

    General Major change to Standard: Cards rotate slower

    It's just that Fable is so much value that the one-for-one removal in standard has a hard time dealing with it effectively. It's a very efficient card in a format that is currently quite durdly. I definitely don't think it's a ban-worthy card in of itself, but enough people are complaining that...

    I'd say a minimum of 5 is easy if you've built your Cube correctly for this card.

    Luckily people don't tend to miss their Saga triggers, so this is almost never an issue. Sagas are so fun people always keep their chapter triggers at the top of their mind! I think there are a few other interesting good cards in this set you may want to give a look: Mount Doom Delighted...
