I'm always in the market for flexible bad removal!

I think portal seems better? It's an engine piece, so you want it to stick around right? And the colorless activation should make it much easier to bounce and then recast the card, while still utilizing your mana in other ways.

Oh I was just about to write that I was going to combine it with cards like arbor elf and voyaging satyr and then it dawned one what you just said :(

Holy crap! This feels like a super good signpost for the kind of untap super ramp I like in UG, especially with that second ability. I hope it shouldn't be too good thanks to being boltable?

Man why does that kid look so happy?

Ok that's it now we fucking know that they're reading these boards!!

Ok so some dorky speculations regarding the draft themes for the pairs based on the multicolors spoiled so far: {W}{U} - Flying tribal {U}{B} - Flash tribal {B}{R} - Menace tribal {R}{G} - Trample tribal {G}{W} - Vigilance tribal {W}{B} - Human tribal {B}{G} - Self mill recursion {G}{U} -...

To ease readers into the cube, would you mind posting a summary of the intended archetypes for each color pairs?

Welcome to the board! I don't have a CubeCobra account so apparantly I wasn't allowed to build a deck, but I tried drafting a UW control deck. Seems like a sweet cube, I feel like it could do with some more instant speed interaction in the 1-3cmc slot, there was a lot of cards that seemed...

Piss!! Well there goes that idea :p

Fuck I thought that was a custom card first lol. That's a kind of cool fling effect right? Feels like a kind of "Burning Vengeance" for sacrifice decks. Btw, I'm almost intrigued by making a cube with both morph and mutate just to make the most complicated fucking thing ever for newer players...

I have a really hard time imagining they would go this hard on the mechanic if it's "just auras". To me it seems like it would end up working like creatures being modal bodies / spells, since when you mutate you'd hopefully get a pretty big effect immediately. You might be right, but that seems...

Importantly, MaRo is giving the history behind the mechanic. I think that description was from the play testing from the vision team, not the set development team.

For those who are curious about the Mutate mechanic, Marc Rosewater wrote an article about the design process behind the mechanic: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/more-meets-ikoria-2020-04-06 I'm actually quite intrigued by it now. Seems fun, didn't really think...

Yeah honestly, I'm not sure what to feel about effects like that. If you stumble once to a card like that you might quickly lose your footing completely because you lose the ability to block after maybe the first swing even, and after that you either chump or let them grow even bigger. I think...

Uhm, I think this analysis is assuming too much about the power level of the format this guy would fit into. In a lower power cube I could see this as a good fixed version of curse of predation.

Yeah we seem to have begun mixing spoilers from both sets in this thread :)

I'm honestly overwhelmed with the sheer amount of goofy ass cards we're getting as such a rapid pace this spoiler season. Several cards have made me sit in front of my monitor giggling.

Yeah I'm really loving the return to the innstrad theme of humans Vs monsters!
