    Sets (NEO) Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Previews

    I think you may be on to something there.. (Stunned she ever got down to $8, wow.) I do not play EDH but I *DO* have a casual 60-card Legacy Ninja deck w/2x Yurikos. What's amusing is I currently have zero plans to put Satoru in that deck!

    Sets (NEO) Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Previews

    Yeah, this guy is spicy. I like the fact this guy gives my Dimir section something else to do besides another "steal your stuff" card. I *do* like those but the guild has plenty of those already. This is really nice alternative but still feels like a very Dimir thing to do to someone. re...

    General Innistrad: Double Feature -- A Double Whammy

    You jest but, real talk, 2021 has been the year I finally gained the perspective and SPACE needed to differentiate between the habit of Magic: the Gathering and the game of Magic: the Gathering. (Cube singleton format certainly doesn't hurt either.) I'm in a far happier place now, honestly...

    Sets Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty

    I meant no offense in my assessment! I would just suggest that 'Anime and Cyberpunk' came well after the Samurai/Ninja/Feudal-themed asian content that came before it for decades. (Kurosawa films, etc.) I seem to remember Anime & Cyberpunk coming into the mainstream during the mid-late 80's &...

    General (NEO) Kamigawa Neon Dynasty Leaks

    ...but I still do not like the fact these cards that reference interesting legendary things from before have literally nothing in common with the originals other than art & name. Completely disposable. NICE.

    General (NEO) Kamigawa Neon Dynasty Leaks

    AH. That's my mistake. I didn't check the type line on the new one and assumed it was a creature as well. /Dingus Well, the art is DEFINITELY legit I don't see how they'd fake that part. Those are clearly for (or derived/inspired by) existing Magic cards. I'm disappointed this will be...

    General (NEO) Kamigawa Neon Dynasty Leaks

    Hmmm....I do not believe these are legit. Echo of Death's Wail has literally ZERO mechanical overlap with the original. Ditto that Takenuma. Zero in common. That's not really a thing they do, is it? Not to mention, why would these legendary things suddenly do completely different...

    Sets Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty

    I'm very open minded but I will agree this doesn't much feel like Kamigawa to me (SO FAR, yes). I think it's also fair to point out that, increasingly, Magic isn't about what enfranchised players want anymore. Sure, they play endless lip-service to "fan favorites" with Modern Horizons but...

    General Spaaaaace: To Unfinity and Beyond!

    It's so weird...I never saw someone do that in my entire life until I tried playing "pick-up" games of Magic at an LGS. (We are VERY spoiled with well-established group so I literally never had to do that for well over the first DECADE of playing...had no idea that was even a thing people DID.)...

    @Mapi: Did you know.. All of these cards are in Unhinged. So is the Gotcha Mechanic. ;) "Save" a "Kill" "Spell" for this "Guy" Which is doubly ironic to me...

    I *really* want to try that Azorius card out in my Artifact cube.. :D Hell, I might want to try it out in my VINTAGE cube seems like a lot of options there.

    Definitely like the new white cards. Honestly think Green has replaced Blue as the basically-does-everything color. It could lose a few things and it would be better for the color's identify and for the game too.

    Card/Deck Make it shine: Harmonic Prodigy

    Interesting topic, thank you. I have been considering Panharmonicon in either of my two high-powered cubes and I never quite get there because I think about how swingy that can be in actual games. Seems like it would be even more of an issue in a Cube/Limited environment where your answers...

    Really love this one! Gets me thinking..

    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow

    That's exactly what rubs me completely the wrong way about this card. "Oh, you really liked Rankle.." "Oh, everyone loves Vampire Nighthawk" (A 20-year old design by now..) "Okay! Let's just glom all of that together onto this big freakish mess of a card." Like...no, this is a freakish mess...

    I'll replace Ransack the Lab with this guy for sure.

    As someone who's followed MaRo's articles and podcasts for nearly two decades, I definitely *do* get that it's too broad, 'brute forcing' and all of the things you are pointing out. I see 18 evergreen keywords & *115* additional keyword mechanics at this page. Oh, and then 24 ability words...

    These: https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=mastery+set:stx+(rarity:r+OR+rarity:m) Okay, seems I *do* play the black one (lol) but, on the whole, I find them worded really strangely and still do not understand the red one. Who wants to cube with cards like that? I do not. Yes...

    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow

    Hot Take: I think this [BRACKETS] mechanic is a terrible thing to keep exploring. First we had Overload. Then, we had the stupid Kaldheim charms that let your opponent do a thing unless you juice them up. (not the most straightforward templating for cubing) Now this? Just make everything...
