If you are curating the pool of commanders that can be combined, you can set you own level of insanity. Certainly you might miss an egregious combination, but learn from it and decide whether to swap out one of the offending pair. I’d be tempted to go further, and give my two-coloured legends...

I’m going to remove big Saheeli and keep both of the above cards. Thanks everyone for your help.

Saheeli, Sublime ArtificerThird Path Iconoclast Both produce 1/1 artifact tokens. Saheeli costs more, but has the more flexible mana cost. Iconoclast beats down, Saheeli has a somewhat useful ability. Which is better?

What are the chances are that The One Ring is opened by a casual player who has no idea as to its value? Or is sat indefinitely in an unopened booster box? Conversely, if someone goes on social media within the first few days of the set being released to show off the One Ring, will that tank...

My teenage son and his schoolmates played oathbreaker for a bit, but it swiftly devolved into repetitive brokenness and they reverted to Commander. If only to placate ravnic, I wonder if there would be any value in having an oathbreaker cube, similar to how some people have designed commander...

Mordor.

“The Ring was trying to get back to its master. It had slipped from Isildur's hand and betrayed him; then when a chance came it caught poor Déagol, and he was murdered; and after that Gollum, and it had devoured him. It could make no further use of him: he was too small and mean; and as long as...

viashino sandstalker This was good enough to be in a World Championship Deck. In 1998.

Make poison a viable strategy in your cube and the villain’s life gain won’t matter.

Wasn’t Venser already Doctor Who?

Thanks for providing the link, but my previous attempts to engage with the MtG story have been frustrating: I’d rather spend my time reading better written books. I find that I can pick up enough from the cards to have a vague idea of what is going on. Although my story may differ in some of...

Lovely article. This article by Sam Gomersall was the one that prompted me to build my first cube back in 2005, and more importantly is the article Evan Erwin referenced in his article the following year that really blew the lid off cube drafting. Sam was a really nice guy and the best player...

Ship-eating troll sounds like an obnoxious participant on an internet fan forum.

I would be tempted to delve deeper into the Dominaria United design approach, where each colour focuses on a particular theme and the colour pairs relate to the intersection of those themes. For example white was about having lots of creatures, red was about having big creatures, and Baird...

You can’t reference ability words mechanically in the same way you can keywords. MaRo confirmed this in an article last year: I don’t know why you can’t reference an ability word, but there you go. I agree that it is odd that Channel is not a keyword, but it may be a good thing that it isn’t. I...

That point on the path was here.

I was amoosed by this.

This makes perfect sense. If you’re starting with Storm Crow you clearly don’t give a toss about the colour.

I agree with the comments above, and would add that in BRO limited the card also benefits from artifact and soldier synergies, without which it further loses value.

I try not to think about Humility because I would need to understand layers and time stamps and quantum entanglement and those things make my brain hurt. Plus it shuts off ETB effects. Magus of the Tabernacle randomly hoses go-wide decks, which I try to support in my cube, so I wouldn’t run...
