Yeah, I tend to prefer it when games don't hold your hand and really give you the ability to explore and teach yourself how to play it. The most recent "new" game that did that for me was Sekiro which forced me to just re-learn combat after being used to the ebbs and flows of Dark Souls style...

I'd actually go with the opposite. I'm not exactly a hardcore Vorthos, but I definitely pay attention to the story and appreciate references more than the average player. I like Magic flavor and references when it pertains to things within the game via cards like Deicide or Crux of Fate with...

Much like Strixhaven, this set looks like it'll be mostly a pass for me. I'm not a fan of the flavor words or whatever you call them, they just read very tacky to me. Like @Velrun mentioned earlier, this feels like a Secret Lair stretched over an actual set. That's not bad in a vacuum, but it is...

@Velrun You should enjoy this, pretty much my feeling when I first played these games:

Yes! I've been waiting for this game for two years now, that trailer was phenomenal as a long time fan of FromSoftware. I can't wait until the game is released, planning on buying a PS5 once they're available at a normal price just to play this and the Demons Souls Remaster. I don't play as...

Yes! This is my favorite animated movie of all time. I've probably seen this like 30+ times since I was a child. They used to show it all the time on Disney channel here and I have vivid memories of turning on the TV during vacation and this already playing in the middle of day in that weird...

Feels like it should have been a Planechase variant mechanic, not something in a "real" set.

Different tiers with options for $1, $5 and $15 right now. The perks you get with each tier as you move up are Patron-only channels on the discord ($1), ability to add cube to the rotating featured cube queue ($5) and the ability to submit high priority requests to the devs for implementation...

I'd say the main thing you need to make 2-3 work without incentivizing 4-5 is just tailoring your land cycles accordingly and introducing opportunity cost. There needs to be an cost to premier fixing. It's part of the reason why I've never really wanted to try out ABUR duals in my cube; it's...

I think Master is just way better overall. Additional upside with the Surveil 2, in a better color combination to take advantage of discard/looting synergies, relevant card type, and I feel like it's just a generically useful body in most U/B shells. Just a really solid glue card. Squee is fun...

Good for people who enjoy them, but the dozens of alternate frames over the last few years have left me mostly indifferent whenever we get a new one. Except when they're super ugly like Amonkhet Invocations or this new DND frame.

Super interesting, a lot of pet cards and some Riptide favorites in that 0-2% bracket for me: Herald of Anguish Brutal Hordechief Lightning Berserker Red Sun's Zenith Earthshaker Giant General Kudro of Drannith Mesmeric Orb Phyrexian Triniform

Yeah, doesn't take me too long. I used to do what you mentioned but it's always ended up being a hassle and added to the extra set-up time for cube sessions for me. I like keeping them well organized so we start and finish in a reasonable time since we're likely meeting at an LGS and doing this...

Yeah. My whole system is to use a tag on CubeCobra to label the cards that I want to acquire, un-tag once I actually pick up the physical piece, then store it in my cube inclusions binder under I actually get to physically sit down and make the update. It's usually once every 2 months or so...

It's a lot to process honestly. We're pretty much in a perpetual spoiler season and if you don't have the means to regularly test your cube with a playgroup, you can go multiple sets of swaps without actually seeing any real results. It's fun to tinker around with stuff, but it can get...

This is it. The "haha" that was promised.

Sidebar: I'm a massive NBA nerd and a diehard Lakers fan. The latter being kind of rough after last night. It's super rare that I get to cross reference that in my other hobbies that have very little in common haha. Yeah, actually was thinking of the Grizz when I named that deck and that...

I don't normally do it for archetypes, but back when I could run cube drafts more often I'd usually try to come up with more flavorful names for my manual uploads based upon the gameplay of the deck. It made them more memorable in the long run and my write-ups were more fun to complete after the...

I'm in the middle of theorycrafting an Innistrad Reborn cube incorporating mechanics that like Threshold + Surveil to flesh it out and create greater decision points. I'm curious whether it'll end up in Innistrad Isle or somewhere on the way to the mainland.
