ahhh I love Populate I've been suckered in by Morph too many times; I'll believe it working when I see it

Even though the text is a little wordy there's something memorable about Thundermaw for me - as Velrun alluded to it was the first 'oh shit there's a sock full of pennies headed in my direction' dragon in that mould and was terrifying to face down during its time in Standard. In my environment...

damn I love trains cool Cube too!

fuck it happened again!

It turns out Beeble is unblockable UNLESS they have glasses, which has made me rethink my view of the card (but not my amateurish and probably offensive typecasting of various Magic players!) Ones 1 Preordain 2 Reaver Drone 1 Kindly Cognician 1 Glint-Nest Crane 1 Thraben Inspector 1 Demonic...

I've had Rings in a few lists before but never saw it in action. Is it that narrow? You need your format to be at the point where you can pay 3 for a slow value engine, but even just doubling a fetchland so you have the mana to double your Clue activation or w/e is a great start, and there are...

also I know lots of people are feeling burnout with back-to-back-to-back spoiler seasons but I just really like looking at new cards so I like it for now

all Bee Stings are beautiful

I, too, was making a joke

Archangel AvacynEldrazi DisplacerOnce More With Feeling

all Fire Imps are beautiful (unironically b/c it hasn't been reprinted enough for the default art to be some soulless digital thing)

Made the mistake of writing this up in browser and lost it when I closed it accidentally. Take two! Artifact Integration Most Cubes see artifacts as an after-thought: once you dutifully fill out your chosen archetype for each colour pair, you sprinkle in some equipment and mana rocks and...

MODERN HORIZONS: Astral Drift: I've loved Astral Slide for a decade and I'm thrilled to get one I can put in a Cube without twisting it in knots. A cantripping Flicker for 2W is enough if you support that theme, and this lets you lean into a cycling package without being dead too often if it...

Nissa, Who Shakes the World has been shockingly good in Standard and is more fun to play with/against than Worldwaker, IMO

Finally didn't brick an Open! Finished T16 at the last Open of the season with some BIG PIGS: Ones 4 Faithless Looting 3 Cathartic Reunion 3 Collective Brutality Twos 4 Simian Spirit Guide 4 Pentad Prism 3 Generator Servant Threes 4 Griselbrand 4 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Fours 4 Goryo's...

The 'all basics are snow' house rule is pretty common and an easy fix

I love the Chromatic Star art! I've been asking for enemy colour Talismans for a while and now I probably won't even play them because my set of foil Signets are so gorgeous (even though some colour pairs would really prefer a Talisman)

I've found it's difficult to support Salvagers even in the perfect deck for it; you need to have a lower power level and to have enough cogs with unique effects (so that it's more than just a big Azure Mage); there aren't many of those and you still need to draft enough of them and have them be...

WAR OF THE SPARK: I was very sceptical of the set's premise when I first heard about it, but it made me a believer. In recent years I'd soured on planeswalkers to the point of cutting them altogether. This gave my sketches a curious old-school-but-not-really feel that I enjoyed but part of me...
