tHoUgHt LaSh gOt A nEw ToY!! Thought Lash

That's not a binary choice. Do those cards have to be based on well-known tropes to be great or can they just be their own original entity with identical text/gameplay? I hope this set is more evocative than the 'haha it's an Akroan Horse geddit?!' flavour that original Theros leaned on a lot

I wasn't really able to track that myself - I went 1-1 with the UW Urza deck and 2-0 with the BG Yawgmoth deck (...and 0-3 with the WB Stax deck!) The power band is certainly wide and weirdly shaped

DRAFT 3

DRAFT 2

So at SCG's exclusive end of year tournament I managed to get THREE drafts in! I was trying some experimental things that I'll write up soon (along with a Cubetutor/Cubecobra list for real this time I promise no takebacks) DRAFT 1

Why is Balance inherently less fun than, say, Wrath of God?

I wouldn't want to! It's a sweet card that has added a lot to games on average in my experience

My issue with Squee is that it's just a physical card. I like it when my narrow rewards actually do something in their own right - Squee just fiddles with the algebra in 'draw X discard Y' and doesn't offer anything exciting itself. I also wouldn't list it as a three drop for the purposes of...

I even missed a set full of nonsense in there! M20 continues the trend of Core Sets being gold mines for Cube playables and interesting designs but also managed to break a few formats for the hell of it M20 Ancestral Blade: Living weapon lives! A great pickup for artifact aggro stuff in...

Doom Foretold Has anyone run this yet? It appeared in a cool artifact Stax deck in Standard and it may be a nice gold signpost card for Stax archetypes in Cube

I love my (large adult) wayward son

Time for a long overdue set review! There have been some momentous releases in the last few months. We have a set that's completely full of random bullshit that should never be printed and also Mystery Booster: MYSTERY BOOSTER CUTE KITTY but more importantly it's another 2/1 that improves...

Everyone else won this weekend but luckily I won something too (in Standard no less)! Ones 4 Gilded Goose Twos 4 Paradise Druid 1 Leafkin Druid Threes 4 Oko, Thief of Crowns Fours 4 Wicked Wolf 2 Vraska, Golgari Queen Fives 1 Voracious Hydra 4 Hydroid Krasis 4 Nissa, Who Shakes the...

a tale of failure and redemption! I started 10-0 at SCG Indy but the wheels came off and I punted my win-and-in on camera. There was a good chance that could have cost me my Players' Championship slot so I really needed a good finish at Regionals to stay in it: I thought I was...

Batterskull How obnoxious is this? I cut it years ago after a tragic session where it bricked my scary aggro deck by itself and haven't tried it since then. It's the worst offender for all my usual criticisms of equipment: you just put it on something (it barely matters what!) and it takes...

Was preparing a writeup for my thread about Balance so may as well post it here!

Skullclamp Has this survived for any length of time in any of your Cubes? It famously was #1 on LSV's list of most overrated cards in Vintage Cube, which was fair but only because Vintage Cube is designed to be as unfair in other (and more unfun, IMO) ways as possible. The problem with most...
