Can't wait to support Lightning Helix Tribal in Boros at this point lol. Have the namesake, Ajani, Vengeant, Smiting Helix, and now Phlage.

Looks like we might be getting a few more Theros Titans. Can't find a good image but a Boros one with a Lightning Helix ETB just got spoiled which looks strong.

I still play Miracles and Brainsurge seems like a fun way to set up two turns of Miracle draws in a row.

I haven't come across this exact conundrum as I don't support artifacts as heavily, but in general I have toyed with cutting powerful colorless top-end options to let weaker ones shine in my colored-sections. I don't think you are by any means going off the deep end in applying this to your...

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Back at it with a larger list of swaps this time. ~~COLORLESS~~ Gonna start out with some colorless swaps this time 'round. A lot of added Artifact Creature Finishers. Lotus Bloom --> Ancient Stone Idol Poor Storm, always the first to lose narrow pieces the moment I want to...

I think my expectations not being met is a fair statement, but I also feel conviction in not wavering in my expectations. I will be frank, I truly do not want my personal feelings and complaints to make anyone feel like their enjoyment of the set is unwelcome whatsoever, everyone enjoys art...

@Onderzeeboot My perspective as an American is that Westerns offer a form of escapism that is quite immersive in its own right. However, this set doesn't capture what makes Westerns exciting for me... at all. The biggest issue with Modern WoTC design philosophy is treating the setting, or...

Also this isn't an anonymized or huge forum. From your previous writings I'd argue it is pretty apparent that you don't demand Cube be a monolith based on your own preferences, which is the line I personally find crosses into 'egotistical'.

Werewolves/Wolves play well with Standstill. Stuff like Mayor of Avabruck and Nightpack Ambusher. Level Up/ Figure of Destiny-type cards play really well with it. Activated Abilities in general are a strong pairing, and of course, having a threatening board state that demands an answer from...

A Couple Changes... Added some land support in Green. It has always been in my list with varying degrees of support. After some consideration I felt as if it had gotten a little too barren, so I opted for some swaps. Gilded Lotus --> Golos, Tireless Pilgrim I just felt as if I had already met...

I really like Emperor. I redux the amount of instant speed removal in my list in general, so she gains some added 'oomph' in the environment I try to curate. I personally like how she plays into White's "Bag of Tricks" at 4-cmc. Restoration Angel, Settle the Wreckage, and The Wandering Emperor...

Since Dragonstorm is a fringe Modern deck, I have been waiting with baited breath for a Modern Horizons release to finally print something to take advantage of the fact that it can fetch "Dragon Permanents." Please Maro, I need a janky Dragon Tribal Land or an errata'd Form of the Dragon. Some...

Something about the flavor just feels way off to me. I was hoping they would go the Arcanum route of mixing industrialization and magic. And like Arcanum the tension between the two could be a setting to have an organic feeling conflict emerge. Instead the aesthetic looks like they are truly...

MY WILL TO KEEP THESE TITLES IS DYING: PT3 - NOTHING IS DEAD WHEN YOU CAN CUBE Going back to my lack of enjoyment in regards to EDH, I wanted to once again focus on what I originally enjoyed about it. It was format with a wide-breadth of card available to build with from Magic's History. It was...

MAGIC IS DYING: PT2 - Foiling & Card Quality Nah the game isn't dying. I don't know how people keep up the act of hyperbole up in their writing. Moreso than supplemental EDH products, this is one of those topics that actually completely turns me off of a new releases much of the time. I will...

MAGIC IS DYING: PT1 - EDH Being the hipster contrarian I am, fuck EDH. Joking aside *pause*, fuck EDH. Ok, ok, in all seriousness now..... fuc- nah I will stop myself, this will get old. But my feelings do remain true, I absolutely abhor what EDH has become. And although the hook of this post...

Ding Dong, the Frog is dead.... Many a time have I tried to write about the ideations surrounding my cube. I will be frank, it is hard for me. From writing posts here only to delete them after the fact, to typing up thousand-word documents to leave unposted, I have found it undeniably both...

I haven't implemented a zerker archetype in my own cube, or at least a dedicated one with all the moving parts you lay out here. I do, however, support some humans you listed as in Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant. A great double strike enabler in white for humans is: Silverblade...

I think my use of the term 'Cycling effects' was confusing. For this statement I simply meant: 'For a long time the Cycling keyword was tied to narrow...' I wasn't referring to what I had previously called 'cycling triggers,' I will edit to avoid confusion

I really like Rosewater's insights on Cycling's return as a mechanic in his retrospective article he did on Onslaught right before Lorywn's launch (It's called 'Onslaught Machine', highly recommend you give it a read if you want the early insights and intent behind the development of Tribal...
