White Remand

So I've been thinking about your post for the last couple of days. I love and fully agree with the overall point here that some cards enable specific play patterns beyond their reward, while other cards only contribute their reward to the deck. However, I've realized something in the process of...

I like what you're saying overall, but I think it could be expanded upon further. I think building a Cube can feel like building an EDH deck: you're trying to shape whatever you want the deck//Cube to be into a specific outcome. If I want a spells matter archetype in my Cube, I'm trying to...

Cube gameplay and deckbuilding tend to skew closer to constructed than limited because of the pre-determined and lower variance nature of the card pool, along with the design sensibilities of most Cube builders. In retail limited, players are forced to use what cards they get, even if they don't...

In singleton? I'm skeptical. In nonsingleton? Almost certainly.

I think it's only Ravnica and 9th Edition cards (hence the terribly shallow card pool).

My guess is per precon. Otherwise, that would break down to three new cards in half of the decks and two new cards in the others.

I think blink decks end up feeling a little anemic in singleton environments. A lot of the good blink creatures have really weak bodies, so even though they can generate a lot of value, this is often squandered when they are forced to chump-block larger creatures. Additionally, a lot of the...

Me too; he seems pretty mediocre at any other price point. Unfortunately, the people who did the development for this set are the "casual play design team," who are notorious for over-costing cards and nerfing things into oblivion to keep them from being impactful. They're basically trying to...

I just had Chat GPT tell me about this battle box in the style of George Carlin. Here's what it wrote: Sure, I'll give it a shot! TrainmasterGT's battle box is a unique and fun way to enjoy the game of Magic: The Gathering, and it's definitely not your typical format. This battle box is...

Start here and work your way down...

My favorite team-up is Mega Lopunny & Jigglypuff.

If you had said this 16 years ago when these cards debuted, I would have agreed. However, since they're continuing to finish the Horizon Canopy cycle in supplemental sets, and have already finished the Graven Carins cycle, I think Burnwillows is not an unreasonable request. The cycle will...

I really wish they would finish the Grove of the Burnwillows cycle so I can put Punishing Fire in my Cube and not have it be worse Twin Bolt.

They're good, but they play differently from the Eldraine adventures. The adventures in Throne of Eldraine usually have two low-cost halves that can be reasonably cast as both adventures or just creatures. By contrast, all of the Adventure creatures in Battle for Baldur's Gate cost 4 or more...

What would be the game design reason for splitting up Dominaria United and All Will Be One? Neither set felt like it really needed a continuation from a mechanical standpoint. I agree the Phyrexian story is feeling rushed, but honestly, I think the biggest problem is that the "Invasion of the...

I don't think they said one way or another whether or not the new cards would be in boosters. My guess (especially how narrow 3/4 of the themes are) is that the new cards will only be in the Precons and the Collector Boosters, not the main draft set.

It's not Ajani because Phyrexian Ajani doesn't have that big Phyrexia symbol on his forehead and is more of a pale white color. Norn's Decree Compleat Devotion Additionally, the Character on the box has the same Sword and wears the same crown as Brimaz. Brimaz, King of Oreskos There are also...

So March Φf the Machine is getting 5 new commander decks... Tinker Time: RUG Artifact Tokens. Call for Backup: RGW Counters. Divin Convocation: URW Convoke. Growing Threat: WB Phyrexians. Cavalry Charge: WUB Knight Tribal. This is important because last year's 5 deck commander release (New...

They're doing Commander Masters, it's basically Double Masters but with Commander cards instead of good constructed cards. I'm actually happy they're doing this because the new variants are cool and it should be fun to draft. But that's not why I'm making the thread. We're getting 4 new...
