It's a board-wipe in the wrong colors... but I will say that Read Ahead is interesting. I'm not sure if it's going to play well, mind you, but it seems interesting. EDIT: Part of me hopes that there's going to be some way to give other Sagas Read Ahead, but the rest of me knows that it'd be a...

May I introduce everyone to our new evergreen counter? I dunno how I feel about it.

HAHAHAHA yes. Gold kicker is basically exactly what I wanted.

Hacker vs. Deep Hours is also an interesting one because Ninja of the Deep Hours is actually simpler than it initially looks if you're an enfranchised player, since it falls under the general umbrella of "card you've seen many times before, except it has a set mechanic now". Moon-Circuit Hacker...

Fun fact: Gaddock Teeg doesn't actually affect Shock Three, since kicker doesn't change the mana value.

I'd honestly be kinda happy to see an expert set dedicated to iterating on existing mechanics.

I'm also not seeing how Shigeki is a discard outlet — it's 100% a discard/self-mill payoff, though.

I'm excited for Kicker. I will be very salty if none of the new Kicker cards are 2-drops or 3-drops, though.

Do any of the other Incarnations (other than Genesis) ever see inclusion in people's cubes?

That's the main reason I suggested it as a design experiment, and not, like, your main cube. That said... I'm pretty sure that you could get reasonably-complete cubes with just White or Green at this point, with Blue, Black, and Red needing a bit of extra design consideration. Actually, White...

I was actually going to suggest that... but making it mono-colored also makes it very obvious to drafters that everything is playable. Like, you might rationally know that you can, say, always curve Counterspell into Benalish Marshal... but it's not going to be as immediate as seeing that you...

So, this is going to sound like one of my normal, shitpost-y ideas, but... I feel like everyone should take a crack at building a mono-colored cube at some point, even if it's just a quick, probably-unplayable rough sketch of an idea. Because then you, as a designer, have to deal with the issue...

Vile Redeemer, tho. Also... Champion of Lambholt Evolutionary Leap Primal Growth EDIT: Oh, right, how could I forget the best sac fodder in Green? Veteran Explorer

To be fair, I'm fine with this. (Granted, I'm probably the only person 'round these parts who prefers the kind of slow environment where taplands don't matter that much...)

I honestly wonder if "16 card packs, two of those cards are Cryptic Spires" would be a good way of handling fixing?

I'm just going to chalk my bafflement down as "my brain doesn't process stuff properly", because apparently the fact that my brain processes cards in this rough order (with stuff in brackets happening roughly simultaneously)... is really weird. Yes, before you ask... alternate frame...

I mean, clearly the RG Prowess signpost should be Wort, the Raidmother (OK, probably a powered-up custom, but still.)

I legitimately don't get how people have problems seeing the artifact and enchantment creature frames they used in NEO. Do these somehow look identical to you? Blade-Blizzard Kitsune Golden-Tail Disciple Hotshot Mechanic EDIT: Like, going through the set on Scryfall, I can maybe see...

No love for Shefet Monitor? Good. As much as I love Tusker... I think Tanuki is a better inclusion if Natural Connection is worth casting in your environment, simply because the body is so much better. Vulpine Goliath isn't embarrassing to cast, while Tusker never really feels good to play as a...

As someone who missed the start of this thread due to moving and decided to check it out because, hey, I know a bunch of dumb magic cards and could probably make up some fun puzzles... It was really fucking annoying to see that we've already gotten to the point of "the card has something in...
