    The actual land arts are great, but that giant GRAND PRIX is super ugly. Not a fan of these.

    Jhoira is pretty generic but solid and more powerful than the Thopterist, but I could see the Thopterist being more interesting if you have ways to leverage the 3 bodies synergistically with other cards.

    General Pick 3: Cards Since Battle for Zendikar

    Gonna go with 3 cards that haven't been mentioned: Thalia's Lieutenant I love BW Humans as an archetype, and the Lieutenant gives you another copy of Champion of the Parish that can also be played as an anthem for your team if you've gone wide enough. It's an excellent card to push yourself...

    General The Alter Thread

    These are fantastic. I don't actually have any alters in my cube, I mostly try to foil it out whenever I can. I'm up to around 328/408 possible, the hardest part is going to be the land section though :confused:

    Divest seems pretty decent, I'm actually trying out Harsh Scrutiny right now and it's been fine. The addition of artifacts would allow hits to creep up from 200 to 220 in my cube, but I really like being able to scry proactively (which is why is love Magma Jet so much). If you're looking for an...

    General Revisiting "Squadroning"

    Post is a little too durdly and slow while Trash isn't really an effect that I'd want to spend a whole card on (which is why I like Welder and Daretti). I think Tinker is probably fine in my environment, but then again I have Artifact Lands available in my ULD and I'm worried about the...

    Shamim's Cube

    It's been a long while, but I recently got to do some cubing with some friends over the last weekend when we took a trip up to Yosemite. We were staying at a cabin up north and our days mostly consisted of hiking through the park, sightseeing around the area, then coming back home to jam some...

    General Revisiting "Squadroning"

    Got in a few cube sessions last weekend (writeup incoming this weekend!) and I'm thinking about squadroning a few of the build around cards in my cube, namely: Collected Company Birthing Pod Drake Haven I haven't yet added the Haven to my list, but I feel like with the number of incidental...

    Vinecrasher has been sweet in my cube thus far. Great synergy with fetches, self-mill strategies, and creates cool tech-y plays where you can extract extra value off things like looting or discarding. It's normally a 4/4 on average which is just fine, the real value comes once you can bring it...

    Fade into Oblivion is sweet, I'm digging that FNM promo border as well. I like how quickly they've backtracked on their changes to FNM prizing. Turns out that people like having cool incentives for a Friday night event when they could literally be doing anything else that night! Who knew? Top...

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    From ravnic's pack, I probably take either the Birds or the Sovereign. Birds will 100% slot into whichever green deck I might end up drafting, Sovereign would be with an eye towards W/x Aggro. Leaning Birds because it's good in just about every deck while Sovereign requires the appropriate shell...

    General [M25]Masters 25

    I'm going to pick up foils of Imperial Recruiter, Man-o'-War, Coalition Relic, Ash Barrens and Mishra's Factory. Just going to be singles for me, cannot justify dropping $30+ to draft such a lottery set. For a set supposedly celebrating 25 years of Magic, they really dropped the fucking ball here.

    General On clones

    Bit late, but Metamorph has never been a real problem in my environment which is fairly high powered. I agree that it is almost always a safe pick due to very little commitment on the part of the drafter, but being dependent upon an already developed board with reasonable targets is definitely a...

    General Rivals of Ixalan (RIX) Spoilers

    Kirblinx, I'm digging that insane draft deck and I'm loving that playmat . I'm also a huge fan of the Marauder after seeing it in action a few times. Delver is pretty miserable if you don't drop it and flip it early enough, Marauder proves effective beginning from your next turn. I also like...

    General Old Standard Formats

    But they haven't learnt from mistakes, that's my issue here. You can't make the same mistakes for nearly 3 years of design and development when it is your literal job day in and day out. I don't think it's correct to judge them on the same scale as you would amateur game designers doing so as a...

    General Old Standard Formats

    Rant time! The bigger problem with Standard is that they've completely fucked the necessary checks and balances to ensure a stable environment. Too much pushing of single face-cards for a set, or trying to push a flashy mechanic to ensure it sees play, without employing anything to keep them...

    Still very aggressive like Ixalan, but there are neat little tricks here and there. I had a pretty sweet Grixis Pirates pool, went 3-1: Ones 1 Skulduggery 1 Sea Legs Twos 1 Dire Fleet Daredevil 1 Goblin Trailblazer 1 Kitesail Corsair 1 Dusk Legion Zealot 1 Dinosaur Hunter 1 Storm Fleet...

    General Cube Storage

    9 would mean it's just a single sided page, 18 is 9 pockets front and back which seems to be standard. Not actually sure if they sell only 9 pockets.
