Portable Hole is very dope though, precisely because its a 1 CMC artifact.

the flavor text on the basics is a cute touch. Confused about why exactly the D&D theme means the basics can't actually depict plains, an island, a swamp, a mountain, OR a forest though.

might be able to jam some games after my kids are down (say 5 hours from this post), or tomorrow.

This certainly resonates with me.

They really are quite excellent in STX limited. Campuses vs. temples is an interesting design choice, but they actually complement each other pretty nicely. Temples help you avoid early screw, and campuses help avoid late-game flood.

Powered cube where everyone starts with a maskwood nexus on the battlefield. edit: god damn it I have work to do today but now I'm brewing a maskwood nexus cube.

I don't know, I think power-level commentary can be helpful, especially if a poster is pointing out that a card may be lower impact than it appears, as I think was the case here. My magic background is very casual. So while I'm not interested in power-maxing my cube, it will still be relevant...

I run 4 packs of 14, then pitch the last 3 in each pack. Gets you the closest to replicating the % of cube seen/player, cards drafter per player, and cards drafted per pack you would have in a "normal" 8-person pod.

Bezos: Give me the next 'tits and dragons' Producer: Hobbits that fuck?

It's a little early in the morning for someone to bare my soul for me like this.

I just want to add that, while it may not be apparent to the folks most deeply entrenched in the discussions going on here, the back-and-forth has actually been pretty informative outside of the feather-ruffling.

Speaking of ward, the Ward - Pay 3 life on these cards has been really interesting: Owlin Shieldmage sedgemoor witch This ability on an evasive creature really gives aggro decks an interesting form of late game reach. I look forward to further iterations of this.

I also completely missed that this card existed. The middle line of text is super interesting and would have a lot of play within most riptide cubes. The first line makes the card better because it guarantees that it connects or trades, but is not very intuitive or elegant. And of course the...

Can people relay any experiences with: black sun's zenith For context, it would join Languish and Death Cloud in black's pseudo-wrath suite, so a power-level comparison to those cards would be relevant.

I've been drafting Strixhaven a ton, and while I like the draft format I am similarly not high on may cards for cube. I know everyone has already mentioned Quandrix Apprentice, but I wanted to note that's it and Dragonsguard Elite are the cards I am now going to run after initially not being...

Well that certainly weakens my point! :p

To some of the points above, I do feel like they are pushing forward with new design space at the cost of elegance. Commander sets have always leaned more in this direction, but some of these cards strike me as particularly brutish. I feel like not so long ago, if a card needed to have an...

These cards all have so much text on them. :eek:

Embalm, Eternalize, and Amass are all recent-ish token mechanics that focus on fewer, bigger tokens. As a bonus, they work really well together! The amass "lords" from WAR all grant bonuses to "zombie tokens". So, e.g., Eternal Skylord gives your eternalized Dreamstealer flying. I've been...
