Yawgmoth's Will is very hard to use well in my experience and Magus attaches significant costs + weaknesses to it. Magus of the Wheel interests me more because an instant-speed two-mana Wheel breaks the symmetry on the effect enough to feel unique and worthwhile (plus it's great with reanimation...

I'm not sure how easy this is. There's a decent amount of 1-mana instants/sorceries in each colour but they don't always go in the same deck - maybe an aggressive deck can use Berserk with Arcanist to put a OHKO together or a Madness deck can buyback a Firestorm but can those cards coexist in...

Which DFC? Of course it's a baseless assessment if you're not making a specific comparison. The point is that for marginal DFCs, there are existing options that have similar flexibility in practice that don't make the cut for most Cubes and it's worth being mindful on that when choosing which...

One thing that's worth noting is that each colour already has more utility lands than it can realistically afford to play and those are natural competition for these. Take Windbrisk Heights or Mosswort Bridge as an example - usually a good spell at a discount at instant speed AND a land (that's...

Old frame and a not-horrifying art too!

Congrats Jason, good luck with it all!

That's me! The drafting experience actually felt better with that list but I'm pretty sure that's the CubeTutor AI rather than any of the changes; as you said, most of those lists would remain intact

That's what I do and I get a gigantic image I can't resize

I was meaning to do a writeup on this myself but yours does it better! I've been inspired recently by the BR Pyromancer shell that's made some waves in Historic and Pioneer: Ones 4 Stitcher's Supplier Twos 2 Abbot of Keral Keep 4 Young Pyromancer 4 Dreadhorde Arcanist 3 Kroxa, Titan of...

What's the best way to get regular size card images during spoiler season before the <ci> tags recognize them?

I was *this close* to playing Retreat to Emeria again and this is a stronger version on both ends that even overlaps with +1/+1 counter stuff!

Man I remember when people were losing their minds over this: Vinelasher Kudzu

Downsizing What does old-school Magic mean to you? What comes to mind when you think of Alpha and Beta? Part of what makes Magic so enriching and important to people after so much time is that there are many possible answers to those questions. But what would a newcomer find when they took...

I have a soft spot for Blackblade Reforged - it's not hard to have a very high quantity of legends nowadays

I've really been in a funk with Cube design recently. I find it brings out the anxious/perfectionist streak in me in a way few other things do - I spend so much time thinking about it and yet feel like I make such little progress. A few observations: - The Cubetutor/Cubecobra draft process...

I love the idea! I keep throwing around the idea of doubling up on all of these: Hangarback WalkerWalking BallistaStonecoil Serpent which may be just the ticket here

Legacy Rotisserie Draft was great! We had an odd mix of decks (two players fighting over Wx Death & Taxes cards, Abzan, UW Control, and a RUG deck that was competing with me) but I managed to draft and go undefeated with this beauty: Ones 1 Sakura-Tribe Scout 1 Exploration 1 Ancient Stirrings...

Let's say every player gets the five original Moxen in their pool when building their deck. What cards (outside of the obvious 'artifacts matter' stuff) would you want to run in the Cube with that in mind? What ripple effects would you expect this to have?
