    Honestly, I typically play wildspeaker as beasterblossom, so your mileage my vary :P

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    When you feel priced into your design, but still don't want to change it Black has felt frustrating: a sentence that was true in 2012 trying to build a cube, and in my cube today trying to get anything to mesh with Aristocrats. I love the gameplay, but drafting Aristocrats is very boring. 1)...

    So at time of recording Nazgul is "worth" between 10 and 12$ USD. This is preorder price, set comes out tomorrow, but I still think that's a travesty. If you are someone who wants to play with the nine, may I recommend this: Link to imgur album with both images Some people will want one of...

    Also you get a little minigame of trying to flicker it to unlock ITS TRUE POTENTIAL This has legit become a subtheme in white for me

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Draft notes: --> I didn't really examine this design too much as submitted. A card like questing beast is well outside my wheelhouse, so I tend to trust and adjust. Spiritually, this hit the nail on the head with basically having as much text as questing beast, but each line is much more...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Hey we did a Roto Draft of my cube! Link to sheet (Highly recommend this template, huge props to Anthony Mattox for his work on this) Ever a champion of both game design and my cube specifically, a friend of mine named Tom rallied our playgroup for a Rotisserie draft of my cube, something I'd...

    Jennie Fae, Jetmir's Second Norn's Inquisitor Emphasis from reddit. Looks like if you incubate, any cats you produce will have the +1/+1 counters from incubate! Thread

    TBH I was this close to what I was considering. I'm leaving scolding on the wayside because I'm not sure blue needs this in my cube, and I'm not actually convinced Tirith is that good. Edit fuck it I'm gonna cut some duplicate cantrip for Stern Scolding, it counters snapcaster. Someone tag me...

    Yeah I think that's about it. I'm okay with that, there's a ton of super interesting card here, they're just not quite for me. It reminds me of the 40k decks (though there's like 300 cards here so you get a lot less quality, pound for pound) where I have a ton to say about random cards in this...

    Okay I love the flavor here, and while I'm a bit wary of the power level of "Control Magic + Monarch", that sounds dope :D What if we just made SO MUCH CARDBOARD Huh, this is a solid Omenspeaker. Y'all wanted more lifegain payoffs, this might be interesting I've gotten SO MUCH great...

    You do have to find explicitly creatures, but this is pretty easy to trigger, cheap and happens the turn you play it if you set it up right! It's got the sword of X&Y cost of 3 to cast, 2 to equip, but it makes 2 spirits instead of protection and whatever fucked up damage trigger you feel like...

    But do they have reminder text :p Huh, would ward normally have reminder text here or has it passed into the realm flying sits in?

    http://mythicspoiler.com/newspoilers.html for the bleeding edge, this isn't confirmed, might not even be translated level of engagement https://www.mtggoldfish.com/spoilers for the more reasonable all these cards are translated, confirmed, and nobody's thumb is over the mana cost spoilers.

    Article Sink or Swim: Making Cube Approachable

    No comment :p Edit: Pithy jokes aside, my cube being ~20% custom cards both helps and hurts. When drafting with enfranchised players new to my cube, they haven't had to read in a while: they know what the cards do. Sometimes that leads to them shortcutting over the real rules text of things, or...

    This is kinda sick, right? I certainly don't run any legends this doesn't fix for on it's own, so you could splash some cool shit I'm sure Not bad! Hardly the best statline, but the fact you get a trigger when you play him is pretty solid. Scratch one off MARO's bingo card, we have our...

    Again I am impressed with the quality of the landcyclers, and 6 power kinda unblockable for 6 aint bad! Neato! For combo potential it aint no Birgi, but it's a lot better in a fair context I think. Interesting! If you were on the Obzedat's Aid train, this looks interesting as a fair...
