There used to be something like this on MtG online: it started off like a sealed pool then you added another pack each week or something like that. It was quite fun. The challenge with such a league in paper magic is policing it. For small stakes and with people you trust it will be fine. As...

My jumpstart list is here. I've gone the more traditional route with single colour packs. Each pack has a fairly strong individual identity, but there are broad themes seeded across all colours and packs. Whichever packs you take there will be some synergies between them. Each pack is sleeved...

Some sites allow "preorder" once all the cards have been spoiled, then will send them out on release day. The shops would have been tearing into boosters and cataloguing cards as soon as the boxes arrived. Card Market might be different because it is not intended as a retail site.

So far my experience has matched Rasmus’ description, but I am inspired by Nanonox’s passionate panegyric to the card! Which of your cubes are the decks drafted from? The high power, high synergy approach is what I am aiming for, and I want to steal your ideas :cool:

Agreed with Erik and Onder. Either you feel sad because your opponent answers your six drop with removal (even if you wait until they are tapped out they can still kill the sphinx on upkeep to avoid you benefiting from their draw step), or they have no removal and you bury them in card...

It would be for those occasions where you don’t have time for long drawn out matches. Also for introducing new players to the game, as they would have precisely the same chance of winning as experienced veterans.

Now I want to build a cube where everyone starts the game with a copy of Transcendence in play.

Broken with Transcendence.

Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer was easy.

I've done a couple of drafts and I think the cube is fun, but less because of the mana shenanigans and more because you have multiple copies of a card that can potentially be cast for free. Spellweaver Helix seems like a lot of fun, but magecraft and other spells matter effects can also really...

I would pick Fire Covenant. Looking at your list there are a lot of creatures with power 2 or less, making it fairly cheap in terms of life cost for an instant speed, one-sided wrath. The only mark against it is that it is the only true gold card in the pack. I wonder if it might be too good for...

The trouble with Provoke is that you can't use it reliably to kill creatures with tap abilities. They can just tap down again before the declare blockers step and become safe.

I like the idea of pushing the power level of these cards. Cogwork Librarian is a card that I enjoy in draft, but is never going to make your deck, hence its only value is to be able to pick two cards. But what if were something not only playable but powerful? That could be a delightful tension...

Hyperbole aside, what is your objection to the arena cube? It appears to me to just be a mess of "good cards", but that is where a lot of our cubes started and were still a lot of fun. Personally I miss the social interaction, and prefer games to be played out within pods, as it feels that...

I have two thoughts about Bloomburrow. The first is the wording for gifts, which are promised not given. Maybe I’m just a duplicitous bastard, but why can’t I break my promise? The second is that it feels odd to have threshold back as a main-set mechanic after all these years. In Odyssey block...

Emrakul has 14 tentacles. This means that she can defend against all but one of the squirrels, who fatally gnaws on her brain.

I would play these cubes. But not with TrainmasterGT who would just eat the cards.

I played the renaissance Italy one and the pirate one. Quite fun to parkour around Venice and sail around the Caribbean. I liked the jumping and climbing puzzles, but agree that the fighting was a bit tedious. The main story was quite engaging, but the framing device was silly.

Marionette Apprentice and Emperor of Bones?

Have none of you read the title of this thread? It's 30+ eggs in one basket. Not marvels, or vistas, or cities, or wands. Eggs. biolume egg is my ovum of choice. Scry payoff, top of the library manipulation, defender tribal, sacrifice, land recursion: so much going on. Plus it's a double...
