I will say that I've noticed a similar pattern with other mechanics, like backup. They read rather strangely but as soon as you're at the table and you play with the card you get it immediately.

I had my first draft two weeks ago, but haven't had time to write up some decks until now. We had a good time! Pretty happy with the initial state of the cube. Two drafters gave some feedback, which I agree with: 1. A little heavy on the removal. One player felt like it was difficult to play...

Huh, nice video! Think I might've written off explore too early, and now we have a ton of explore cards so it's easy to get a nice density of the keyword.

I honestly feel that, disregarding everything else good or bad amount modern magic, the way WotC are utilizing artifacts and artifact tokens these days is great. Glorifier of Suffering Here's another artifact sac card I'm at least spending a second thinking about.

I see cards mentioned, but are these cards that would be picked by players in the average riptide cube draft? (Metallic mimic is great)

What artifact, enchantment and planeswalker removal are people playing these days?

Hm, I fail to see how that constitutes a theme if the creature type ends up not mattering?

Or maybe if it made flying tokens!

Oh my! And the original splicers are all in Bant as well: Master Splicer Vital Splicer Wing Splicer

I don't think there's a single golem matters card in colourless. For me this basically hinges on getting some incidental additional upside from your splicers I would run it as like a fun minigame in a cube, not as one of the main incentives. Generally good if you already have artifact matter...

Funny being back in this thread 3 years later. I am a sucker for the idea of golem tribal! Here's a couple of new golems: Walking Bulwark Campus Guide Tough Cookie Volatile Wanderglyph Tormod's Cryptkeeper Clay Golem Iron Golem Roaming Throne Goldfury Strider Karn, Legacy Reforged

It's just a pile of stats that you need to pay 3 removal spells before it's dealt with. It goes against everything I like about the game, a big part which is managing tempo and card advantage. If I doom blade one of the triplets, I get punished for it! It takes absolutely no cleverness on the...

Gruff Triplets is just a straight up awful design

And it's a golem artifact creature to boot !

I gotta say, I'm really happy about seeing a bunch of golems being printed. I have a small hope of being able to run "incidental golem tribal" as a thing, but I haven't yet seen enough golems to really make me wanna plunge into the the splicer package yet. (Also, we need a red and a black...

Weirdly I don't mind Loxodon Smiter. I guess it's because it's multicolored? I think it's a fun sweet card in how straight forward and dumb it is, but I also am not super happy about the idea of playing mono colored 3/4 creatures for 3

It doesn't kill creature tokens but it can blow up a stray food or clue

Seems like a fun dredge payoff?

I dunno, when I saw "wide theme" I mean that a theme (while maybe rooted in a pair or a triad) can be drafted with many or any color pairs. So really the fixing can be whatever.

EZ solution: Run wide themes!
