Barcelona and Vegas each brought new Unknown cards and a few of them are worth a trip to the label maker: Force of Rowan 3RR Instant You may pay 1 life and exile a red card from your hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose new targets...

Some underappreciated bangers from the All Will Be One release: Phyrexian Scrapyard A nice self-contained win condition for a control deck (or really any deck that has the time) that can guarantee land drops but also a discard outlet on a land for your Reanimator or Madness stuff - something...

Dollmaker is a versatile 'Blink' effect for your own stuff (including enchantments, battles, planeswalkers, or other types that it's hard to flicker easily). The token copy can be copied with Esika's Chariot or populate stuff and all the usual artifact synergies apply here. On your opponent's...

Images fixed! @Nanonox re. Chatterstorm and Awaken the Woods: I saw one on sale for ~40 USD but frankly these are playtest cards with no art already so the proxy/MPC/'draw your own crude art on a blank card' approach makes even more sense here than for most cards

You Better Cogwork, Bitch We're so back! Too back, even?! I wanted to test a more ambitious version of my CubeCon submission ('any land/spell can be your Companion') for after-hours Cubes there so I mentioned this offhand to Chris' group and suddenly I had 10 (!) gamers signed up for a draft...

There are currently the usual EDH suspects grumbling about how every Clone these days gets around the legend rule as if a. that weren't a natural response to their own format making every cool creature a Legend in a 100-card singleton context and b. that weren't an entire explicit plot point of...

very big fish, UR gets its broken finisher (not quite Forth Eorlingas/Minsc & Boo level but pretty absurd and one of the best Reanimation/Sneak payoffs)

How committed are you to Prowess being a part of the wheel in some capacity? I'm more optimistic for Grixis than for Jeskai/Temur but I wonder if there's a fundamental issue there

I will say I've seen a lot of Cubes try to support a Death's Shadow package and have rarely seen it be functional let alone worth committing to in the draft (vs the more generic alternatives). At this point I think it needs to be a small Cube (maybe Twobert size) or some 'draft 1, get X more'...

^here's me and my budde Kai Lived a lifelong dream making T8 of the Pro Tour, am I a ~professional Magic player~ now?! Worlds is in <2 months (ahhh!) so the Cube posting is still on hiatus but I'll be (so) back soon!

Speaking of (The/Thee) Black Swordsman, I remembered this from Gavin Verhey's recent Unknown Event cards...

I went 8-8 at the PT, losing the last round to not requalify and with a lot of regrets about my preparation and play. Luckily I Top 8ed the Toronto RC with Green Devotion to get another shot at it!

CubeCon voting is open and I'm up in one of today's rounds if you feel like you can vote for me! for thread showing off some decks/archetypes, I quote the Twitter poll where the voting happens there too

Voting is open (today only)! It will be an uphill battle but would love your support if you can offer it Poll link and lots of examples of sweet decks here:

Mission Statement (aka the genius of Kamigawa Block Pauper Tiny Leaders Cube?!) What if Tiny Leaders was the answer this whole time? For those who don't remember this brief craze, Tiny Leaders was Commander without its main flaws - a 1v1 format where players started with 25 life (or 20 in the...

(This is my submission for CubeCon 2023 and is up for voting on Monday May 22nd - I've created this thread as a reference point for people who saw the Cube and want to learn more but it's also a good motivation for me to actually get this down on paper! I hope and expect this list to evolve...

This is fine by itself sometimes and if you can go off with a small storm with this early you get a massive burst of mana in the future A very flexible smoother if you want that Look at this Chris Taylor homage

After 2004 Deed existed in Extended formats with Mirrodin which meant the entire Affinity deck, artifact lands, Chrome Mox, and Isochron Scepter with Orim's Chant so blowing up more than creatures was very relevant. After that initial investment parking it there as an instant-speed sweeper made...

CubeCon submission, will make thread once PT stuff is over

I put together a Kamigawa/Ravnica/Time Spiral Cube to capture the era where I started playing and one of my favourite eras of design (you ever wonder if those two things are linked? probably not), worth revisiting when I have some time
