    General Fight Club

    Which Inti do people prefer? I like the showcase frame, but the standard frame version has nicer art.

    I don’t normally pay attention to the advertising on this website, but I was pleased to see this appear…

    Sets (LCI & REX) Lost Caverns of Ixalan and Jurassic Park spoilers

    I want to sacrifice the vampire tokens to the Bombardiers, because then they really will be canonized.

    Amen.

    General Universes Restored

    I’m less bothered by Universes Beyond cards than you, but still consider this to be a noble project. The only thing I disagree with is your concern about creature types. Increasing card interactions as described above sounds like a feature not a bug. I’d also be inclined to streamline token...

    General New Booster

    Anyone else planning on incorporating this design into their cube draft? Slots 1-6 from the “Core” cube; slots 7-8 from a secondary cube which will rotate each draft to promote varied archetypal support; slot 9 from an “occasionals” set of build around cards; slot 10-11 are lands; slot 12 is a...

    General (WHO) Dr. Who Spoilers

    I broadly agree with these sentiments. The references go back 60 years to the first episode: An Unearthly Child. I started watching Doctor Who over 42 years ago and used to consider myself a fan until I met a real fan. Lord of the Rings and Warhammer 40K are reasonable fits for magic because...

    Sets (LCI & REX) Lost Caverns of Ixalan and Jurassic Park spoilers

    Those lands look terrific. The style reminds me of vintage travel posters from the 1930’s, particularly the swamp and forest.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    English English speaker here, and it does seem odd to long for something that cannot be definitively achieved: no matter how long she soars, she might descend at any moment. Perhaps “she hoped to ascend forever”.

    General Secret Lair Spoilers

    Applejack seems quite powerful. As long as the toys have different names, they are less susceptible to cards like Maelstrom Pulse or Echoing Truth. Presumably a toy with horns and wings would get both scry and flying. Colour could be an issue. My opponent might claim their creature has...

    Why don’t any of these idiots give me two choices from four when they enter the battlefield?

    Many of you will be familiar with the multitalented Caleb Gannon, PhD from his powered synergy cube which appeared on Magic Online. But did you know that he is launching a game on kickstarter that is heavily influenced by MtG and cubing? I am tempted, but am interested to hear views from others...

    How do you deal the last 4 points of damage?

    Say what you will about human artists, but at least they know how many fingers a hand should have.

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Spoilers

    I run token support as an explicit theme in my cube, and this card will be going straight in. The storybook version is terrific: I love the four wide-eyed bunnies in the background.

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Spoilers

    Regrettably… SHOWCASE ADVENTURE TREATMENT In Throne of Eldraine, we introduced our first official Booster Fun treatment: the showcase Adventure treatment! These cards have a special frame that looks like you're reading out of an old collection of fairy tales. This frame returns in Wilds of...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Palantir is certainly very good in retail draft, though LotR is a relatively slow and low power format so that may not be transferable to many cubes. The landcyclers also increase the average mana value of cards to a modest effect. I think it’s definitely better than Phyrexian Arena because of...

    General Aesthetics Debate Club: Optimizing Art in Cube (Daily!)

    I voted for original Rob Alexander art. The low, vaulted ceiling looks more crypt-like than the other Ravnica themed art, and to me feels more appropriate for a grave. Rob Alexander is also a master at creating a mood and sense of place. Minguez’s shipwrecks are my second favourite, as an...

    General CBS

    This seems to be a pattern started in cyberpunk NEO and art deco SNC. I suspect WotC are moving away from more traditional fantasy settings to make their Universes Beyond sets seem less anomalous.
